Sao Paulo -
When I arrived in the neighborhood of “Bom Retiro†it was lunchtime. A good time to be there because I was not allowed to enter inside the stores, people didn’t want to permit shoot. So, I could see the movement outside. This Korean looked at me when I took the picture and entered the store almost immediately.
“Bom Retiro†is known a jewish neighborhood. The jews got there around 1912 and then install the first Synagogue and most of them came in 30’s, after war. The korean went to “Bom Retiro†in the ’80s, benefited by a law of 1982 that
amnestied illegal immigrants. In the present days there are jews there, but now the neighborhood has a mix of jews, koreans and bolivians. They are in Bom Retiro to work in clothing manufacture.
