Metroji clue #134

São Paulo in five emoji

Brazil

The largest city in the southern hemisphere, built on coffee money and then on everything else. It has no coastline and no famous landmark, and does not seem to mind.

What each emoji refers to

The metropolitan area holds over twenty million people.
Coffee exports through Santos paid for the city's first expansion.
Motoboys weave between lanes and are how most of the city's deliveries move.
Brazilian rap came out of the periferia here in the 1990s.
The mortadella sandwich at the Mercadão is an absurd quantity of meat and a local institution.
