Rio de janiero, Brazil dothisdothat08-02-08 Started our hostel stays at the Crab hostel- whioch pretty much lived up to its name. Bit dodgy all round but not bad enough for me to leave straight away. 09-02-08 Went to Ipanema beach for the first proper day of sun. Got burnt. Last night in the crab hostel- thank goodness. 10-02-08 Went to the Mango tree which was lovely. Met some lovely people. Went out for lots of lovely dinners and beers with new friends. 11-02-08 Lounged around in hammocks all day recoving from sunburn and ge...
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil laura275We moved to the Crab Hostel in Ipanema, the high rent district, only one block from the 9th Beach, reportedly the best one. We spent Saturday afternoon there, swimming and relaxing...taking in the people watching. Now we know why those girls all have to get a ´Brazilian´ wax...you´ve never seen suits so small. Both guys and girls...there were tons of locals juggling the soccer ball and playing in the waves, lounging on the beach and taking in the sun. We showered and headed to Sugar Loaf, a b...

... eachother's backs without looking in each other's eyes. They lead very separate yet inextricably linked lives. Each detesting the other yet supporting each other's habit/business. <br><br>It is the rainy season here still. It's funny how each country has it's own weather vice: the weather each country cannot handle that makes it grind to a halt. <br><br>We also have some very interesting guests where I'm at too. We've complained that it's not ...
Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil sarbs87... they made us wait in return for more business. After an entire morning wasted and the lack of professionalism, we made a judgement call not to go paragliding. It was expensive, we were ****** off at the company and would not have fun and we would not have had time to go to Sugarloaf. Anyhow, people say it is a great experience in Rio, just don't sign up with Big Fly. <br><br>The upside was they had driven us from Ipanema to a few blocks away from ...
Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil chiapoe... of a group of 30 Americans we were now in separate dorm rooms instead of what we had booked. Not a great start so I pulled out my immense powers of negotiation and it turned out there was one possible private room left (I should point out that in this instance my powers of negotiation involved looking blankly at a man speaking in either Portuguese or Spanish until he took pity on me/got bored of me!). In any case he was keen to show me the room he was speaking of before ...
Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil samsonite32Another two day bus journey down to Rio! But this time the bus was full so had to stick to our single seats. We got to Rio and it was pouring with rain so went to a hostel named Ipemena Girl, it was expensive and a dive so when the rain stopped we got a refund and headed out elsewhere. Ended up in a hotel for not much more ...
Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil rachaelandersen... time used powder to finish shaving a customer; plausible. The second story claims that back in the old days football was for whites only and Fluminense was the first to introduce black players (and hence making the game more popular and less elitist) but had the black players put white ...
Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil sinbadniz... 8221; people walking around and everything in order. It is kind of impressive how close you are to all that poverty and crime which is up there, as a reminder that not everything is so beautiful in Rio de Janeiro. Having said all this about the supposedly secure Rio, I also have to say that, while I was there, two hostels were assaulted by ...
Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil captainflint... ropende. De gikk hardest ut mot jentene som hadde vesker. Tok veska til Lene med kamera og lommebok. Jeg hadde to stykker paa meg som rev og slet og slo for aa faa tak i tingene mine. Det var ganske traumatisk, men mest fordi vi var saa uforbredte. Dette er Ipanema, det tryggeste omraadet i Rio! Det gikk veldig fort, og jeg husker bare at jeg sloss, haha , slo han ene i magen med albuen, og ropte NO, NO :) Nesten litt komisk naar jeg tenker paa det naa...Jens, som ikke fikk noen ...
