Hidden track #4: ridind the Giant Earthworm in Brazil

Sunday in Sao Paulo – people strolling along the deserted Minhocão, “The Giant Earthworm”. This monstuous elevated road is busy with heavy traffic six days a week. The last day, it shuts down so to allow the most eerie display a Brazilian megacity can give: punch-drunk Paulistanos sipping their água de coco while roaming an empty highway cutting through a forest of skyscrapers, surrounded by cryptic graffiti tags (pixações).
