gnasher16 30,096 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Lukey id say its one of those extremes of both types of places theres some real beauty along with desperate poverty.....trouble is they are little too close to each other for my liking !....For instance this is from our hotel in Rio around 6am....quite nice im sure you,d agree.. Then this is about half a mile away from the roof of my new friend Marcios gaff.....notice the Maracana in the background.....one of the warmest,nicest families and funniest man ive ever come across by the way And Marcios actual family home... You can be in the nicest parts of town yet still never be more than a hundred yards away from real poverty....i thought Manaus was a nice little place quite picturesque round the Opera House,Sao Paulo was a toilet all over....we saw a fair bit of Brazil in all but for me Rio was the place i liked most it was exciting but not in a dangerous way,food was great some of the meats at the Rodicio,s were to die for.....lovely friendly people.....not overly expensive for a tourist place and of course the beeches were great,....but what i was constantly being reminded of was Rio was scrubbed and cleaned leading up to the world cup and its " not always like this " as we were constantly being reminded ....not sure id rush back there but certainly a place worth visiting.
