When I say I, I mean me and my subjective thinking, feeling etc. I totally agree, and as with everything, its not black/white, its really about the fine nuances and personal beliefs, cultural background, style and what your standards are.

And Ipanema & Copa are famous, buts thats it, they cant be among the best beaches.. that I simply cant believe.

Rio is still just a dump with some good sides in my book, Im fucking glad I wasnt raised there.

Hey if your fat a american man going to pay to play ITS GREAT ok. Or a good looking one too.

Guy with game not speaking fluent portuguese, save your money, if not to check it out, to say HEY I WAS IN RIO BITCHES.

Even the guys native speaking portu struggled, with the arrogant Carioca..

Most girls there have gotten the amount of gringo they have been looking for like it or not

I just have to give my 2cents so the poor guy have a honest view of it, because I still havent meet anyone down there that was impressed. Think that talks for itself.

Brandon I also adored the nightlife, its amazing.. I dont go out alot here, but there its on

Rio is Rio.. you cant take that away, the atmossphere is frentic and high energy if you wanna feel alive its the place I guess

I kind of agree with this statement If you don't have fluent to intermediate Portuguese or have at least connections and a network set up before hand you will definitely be Paying to Play in Rio unless your gaming all chicks who speak English in Zona Sul. Not speaking the local lingo can SEVERLY limit what you can do and who you can talk to. I love Rio and it's culture, beaches and energy and music so It wouldnt stop me from visiting and you can make it work but not being able to really holla at chicks like I wanted to in my native tongue hurt me a bit to where I had to really on good looks, body language and weak portuguese skills moreso.
