Have a mate that used to work 2 weeks on/2weeks off on an oil exploration rig off Brazil and rather than travel all the way home for his 2 weeks off he'd book into a seriously top end hotel in a very salubrious part of Rio and bang high class Swedish and American hookers for the 2 weeks. Used to. Right up until one night he stepped out the front door of the hotel and was accosted by a scumbag with a pistol that kindly relieved him of his watch, phone and wallet. This was right on the steps leading up to the front door of the hotel and the security guys in the hotel lobby could see it and did fuck all. Matey gave the mugger everything, gave him no lip and still the fucker pulled the trigger. Luckily for my mate the gun jammed and the fuckbag only clattered him in the face with it and ran off. Poor old matey flew home every leave after that.
To say Rio can be a dangerous place is a serious understatement.

top class prostitution, corruption, robery and murder. you just missed the drugs to make it a perfect Rio story.
Of course drugs are rife ,u can buy high quality gian luca any where any time if u I know the right people u can
buy pure for a few dollars more .
By far the easiest way is to go to a bar at the foot of the local favela and get a beer .
You pay the man and the Burro who is a toothless addict and gets paid in crack goes up the hill to collect the gear
which is sealed in bags and often has a trade mark of the local gang on them.
Cops are all paid off and u wont get mugged either because its bad for business for the local narcos' !
When I go to Rio I dress down,never wear jewelery and carry the very crappiest Nokia I can get .
U also have to be careful of Taxi drivers as often people steal them and then go round mugging people.
Many people get robbed this way particularly when leaving cocovado or the sugar loaf .
The Other massive robbery scam is the drug n mug ,always make sure u buy bottle beer and open it yourself.
In the downtown area of Rio which is like a massive street party with street bars everywhere the ladyboys are famed for this so u might get a sore arse as well as your wallet lifted some here will love that one .
I notice that England are staying right on the edge of two of the most massive favelas Videgal and Rochina ,this is kind of in between ,I would rather stay in town on copacabana leblon or ipanema or if u want great beaches and a bit quieter go further out to barra tijuca.

Drugs AND ladyboys? Seriously, what's not to love? After that sales pitch I'm considering getting myself out there!!

Why steal a taxi driver and take him with you while you mug people surely he's going to slow you down

the weed here is terrible, absolutely nothing to do with the beauties you have available in europe. ours is compressed heavily to ease smuggling through borders and the alike, and they mix it with other stuff to make it cheaper. when i went to amsterdam the first time i thought i was smoking the essence of God himself
now, regarding ladyboys, yeah, if that's your thing then this place is fucking disneyland funnily enough, for such a 'liberal' place when it comes to sex we're actually more sexist and homophobic than any place outside latin america i've ever been to, so i'd be discreet about those things. you don't want trouble with the religious freaks, believe me. kids are spanked for being friends of gay people here, to give you an idea.
My mate moved to Brazil from Ireland a decade ago.
He says they are very conservative there, it is unusual for unmarried couples to move in together before marriage.
He also says they are very anti-gay.
But that nuff of them are actually gay, they just do it on the downlow.
He has a gay mate who sat with him in a bar and pointed out all the men who were like this, it was about half the bar!
My mate and another friend picked up two stunning women late one night, took them to a motel (where people go to hang out because they cannot bring the opposite sex home in such a conservative country).
They went to separate but adjoining rooms with a girl each, my mate wanted to drink first and was merely drinking beer and chatting to his woman, whilst his Brazilian friend got straight down to business with his.
A minute later the Brazilian was banging his fist against the wall of my friend's room shouting "Run, they've got balls!".
The ladyboys chased after them demanding money for their time "In American dollars only".
My friend got in his car and drove off sharpish without paying.

I personally would have thought they would do it "up the downlow" but got to admit I ain't no expert

Yea the local stuff is pony but there's no need for it .
I took some seeds down there in the early 90's ,one of my friends friends has a farm a few hours drive from Rio ,the boys at the cricket club now enjoy the delights of the northern lights !
