Update to my thought about New Yorkers...

I come from a city in Brazil called Sao Paulo. It's not only known as one of the largest cities in the world but to locals, it's the New York of Brazil.

With that being said, Paulistas (people from the state of Sao Paulo) and Paulistanos (people from the city of Sao Paulo) are seen by the rest of the Brazil with the same admiration and disgust as the rest of the US sees New Yorkers.

Oh crap!!! I guess I am the equivalent to a New Yorker in Brazilian terms...
