the famous flea market! Interesting that the homeless are using tents like here in Canada!! Tents aren't cheap in Brazil! hehe and for that reason I never saw one being used by the homeless until now in your blog! Probably this one got from somewhere else, I don't know. But it is very common to see homeless only with blankets etc.
Just an interesting thing that I noticed!

I guess homeless people from Avenida Paulista are the cream of the hobo society :))
There were many tents all around the large cities we visited. It's true that shelters made of anything were way more common, though. And yes, in Rio, we run into a guy who had a large mattress and a blanket in a nook between two houses where it likely doesn't rain. Just like five meters from a supermarket entrance. Nobody cared, and that guy seemed to be occuping the spot for ages :)
Sad… and we pretend that don’t see it…
