You must pay attention to your bag at night or during the day while you are wandering. That's why Sao Paulo is a city where there are the most helicopters in the world. Rich people in Sao Paulo prefer to use helicopters because of the security and traffic problems. There is helicopter pad in every part of the luxury sites.
