In reply to Scott. I didn't feel scared in Rio, necessarily, but I agree that Sao Paulo felt a bit more comfortable to walk around in, though perhaps that was just the neighborhoods I was on.

I preferred Sao Paulo to Rio, Rio is a scary place!

In reply to John Baackes. Thanks Dad! I think it is my longest as well. It took me weeks to write -- had to break it into chunks!

Alex, this must be your longest post. It is a feature magazine length catalogue of a your adventures and misadventures in Brazil. Very good read. Dad

I love these posts. The biggest surprise about your Brazil trip to me is how difficult it is to communicate. I always worry about language barriers when visiting countries where English isn’t the main language but when even speaking Spanish wasn’t much help at times? Eeek. I will also take note that if I visit Brazil to make it a more chilled trip with beaches and drinks :D.

I had no idea Brazil would be so challenging to Western tourists. You’re honesty is invaluable for people who are planning their own trips. I love you’re writing so much it makes me wish you’d been to/blogged about the places I’m about travel to so I could hear your awesome insights!

In reply to becky hutner. I think having a Brazilian friend to show you the ropes would make ALL the difference. Honestly, probably night and day! I hope you take that trip soon... would love to hear about it!
