Rio

Going next week. Look at me, look at me. Anyone been?

Everyone I’ve talked to who’s been where I’ve been has been mugged! Surely it’ll be alright, albeit finding it slightly daunting!
 


I was there for 3 weeks and wasnt mugged. But a few I spoke to were.

Dont dress flashy, and dont carry anything you aren't prepared to be stolen would be my advice.

If you're in to hiking, climb Dois Irmaus for the best view over copacabana

I'm off the drink so should not be in too many ridiculous situations, only going 7 nights.

Yeah, it usually works out OK.
 
Been a few times, never got mugged but when out on the bikes with some Brazilian mates I was advised to keep my mouth shut if we got stopped by the police because if they realised I was a foreigner they would fine me for every penny I had.
 
I met one English lad who got fined by the police for walking up yo the top of Cocovado instead of taking the bus up to the top.
