if you have a nine hour layover, there are better ways to spend your time in Sao Paulo than to hang around GRU after freshening up. Unfortunately, the area surrounding the airport isn't that great. However, you can get to Avenida Paulista (centro) via taxi (Taxi Comun takes plastic) or if you can find the bus service. The downtown area has great bar areas (Rua Augusta, north of Paulista), shopping - Oscar Freire (ten block walk south of Paulista - take Rua Haddock Lobo or Rua Augusta) and restaurants intermixed.
