SÃO PAULO, NOT SAN PAOLO


"São Paulo has a population close to 20 million, making it the second largest in the Americas, and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world. People from the city of São Paulo are known as paulistanos, while paulistas designates anyone from the whole of São Paulo state, including the paulistanos. The city's Latin motto is Non ducor, duco, which translates as "I am not led, I lead". A famous nickname for the city is "Sampa". São Paulo is also known for its unreliable weather, the sheer size of its helicopter fleet, architecture and multitude of skyscrapers."
