Things have been quite rough down here for the past 3 days, as you'll read here (CNN article). Situation is just crazy. There's a 220km traffic, which is absolutely insane, even for São Paulo, and people are scared to leave their homes. Instead of the 5,000 buses we usually have around, only 1,000 were available today (several have been burned down yesterday night) and many stores haven't even opend their doors because employees weren't able to get to work. There's been a bombing in a subway station, schools have sent students back home. Extra-officially 90 people have been killed so far - police officers and criminals.
