This is São Paulo, the biggest metropolis in South America and one of the most chaotic cities on earth. Everywhere we turn, obstacles rush at us. As we approach the city's cathedral, striking postal workers spill onto the road and force us to swerve into the middle lane. Just around the corner, a boxy Fiat cuts us off and sends us veering into the gutter...
