hey ChadR, yeah Rio is OK to visit. this city gets a lot of bad press and this is well deserved, but the things you would do as a tourist aren't dangerous. take taxis everywhere (they won't rip you off) and don't take anything with you that you aren't willing to lose if you do get robbed. if you do, just give them your money and they'll be gone lickety-split.

i came here for the first time in 2004, also with my mother, who is from here, and we were also a little nervous but turned out we were paranoid. it's not like you can't go out in the street or anything. besides, if your mom is brazilian, she won't look like a tourist, right? (although brazilians get robbed just as much as tourists . . .)

#1 mistake i see tourists make all the time is walking around with a camera. just don't do it. put it in a bag and take it out when you want to take pics and then put it away. same thing with your next-generation cell phone.

just be smart and you'll have an awesome vacation in this beautiful city.

oh, and StrongerThanAll, the exchange rate isn't what it once was . . . they keep talking on the news about how much the dollar's weakened in the last few months (it's down to 1.75 whereas when i visited here in 2004 it was around 3!). last time i went to the US with my reais i made out like a bandit. anyway even in stronger-dollar times the more expensive brazilian places weren't so cheap. i don't think paying US$25 to get into a nightclub or US$125 for a pair of shorts at Osklen is exactly cheap even by US standards.

i agree with the shorts, but the nightclubs are cheap, i ususally pay R$150 (you pay and get R$150 worth of drinks) to get in the nightclub (in the VIP area) which is pretty cheap compared to england or europe in general (even though they dont charge entrance)...

also, I just love osklen, they are really "brazilian style" and its great to wear them at the beach..

but i do agree, the cheap dollar is gonna hurt for the tourists, but still.. it is cheaper overall..

i just came back from NYC for a weekend, every meal was over US$ 50

Best New Years in the world are in the Brazilian beaches, such as Rio de Janeiro, Florianopolis and Salvador. I would never give these up!

Honestly, party from 10pm - 10am

she the one under bivouac? if so, she fucking cut off my margiela labels thinking she was doing me a favor.

wow, what a bitch =[

What do you study

engineering, but it doesnt mean engineers cant have fun

yes, i am, because my country and the rest of the world is 18 and up, why should the US be any different?

they can choose to risk their lives in the army and drive and not drink, i find that quite contradicting.

anyway... i guess i am just used to big cities

coolest thread ever

ive been living here for 2 years now, and i cant wait to go back home..

everything here closes before 2, weather sucks and its illegal for you to drink in clubs if you are under 21..

sorry for this, but thats how ive been feeling for these 2 years

I can't help you a lot with with Rio, but as far as i know, i believe that you should try not to draw a lot o attention when walking there, like, walking along the beach. Definitely try not to stick out as a tourist, cause they really have no pity for tourists. But i think as long as you keep your eyes open, and don't take anything valuable to the beach, you wont have a problem.

Most of my friends who went there (who are Brazilian) never had a problem, except for a couple who got robbed, but they definitely sticked out like English tourists.

And about the budget-minded suggestions, I will come up with something later, I do understand thats a pain to spend money, but I thought you guys wouldnt mind as the exchenge rate would be pretty generous on you.

This is a quick draft of the area I would recommend you to stay, be aware that this area is a more upperclass region, although it might not be entirely true, but basically most of the stuff if not all of the things mentioned above is within this perimeter. Howerver, I do suggest you to see the tourist atractions, like the city's historical center and etc.. but do it during the day, during the night, go to a fancy restaurant then go clubbing/bar.

Btw, if you see in the map the "Parque Ibirapuera", it is the largest and best park in Sao Paulo, and it has many attractions in the such as the Modern Art Museum, and the exhibition center called the Bienal, which hosts several art exhibitions and events which the most famous is probably the Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

But again, dont be afraid to go to the city centre, which is probably the only other place i would recommend you to go, as for the rest there is not much to do.

Also, dont forget to watch a soccer game!!!

ill post more info on it later
