😱 They’re here! More coming soon. Run for your lives!

@maique jornada mundial da juventude? Ohh I heard they are a large crowd!

@pcora One million. One. Million!

We complain a lot about being overwhelmed with the usual number of tourists, but one million in a week is a totally different ball game.

@maique Is this part of the Pope's advance party?

@alexink Yes. Part of the volunteer group, thousands of them. A few (many) are already in town. Things are getting pretty hectic, and we’re still days away.

@maique wow, time to run out of the city!!

@maique how many are expected to come in for WYD?

@lukemperez One million are expected to show up. That will triple the population of the city for a week, as there are around 500 thousand of us usually.

@maique good luck! That’s going to be a very crowded city.

@lukemperez Yes 😔 A huge strain on everything, from transportation, to restaurants, sleeping, everything really. Parts of the city center will be on lock down, making it impossible to move around if you’re not walking.

That’s why a lot of people are moving away for the week.

@maique Ha! I thought so, as they look like the people we had here, all in matching tee shirts.

@alexink This was yesterday. Today there are more. The event starts on Tuesday! Still hundreds of thousands missing.

@alexink It will, it will...

@maique Organised chaos! 😛
