I'm brazilian, from San Paolo, and I'm really satisfied to see stuff from my city appearing at global a blog like Craftzine.
San Paolo is soo big and plural that even I don't imagine all things that the city have to offer. This video was new stuff for me.

Sometimes I think the underdevelopment has its few benefits, like the maintenance of thinks from the past, as we can see at Grafica Fidalga.
