Be careful

O Rio é fantástico. Todos sabem disso. Mas toda cidade tem duas faces. No dia em que eu cheguei lá, fui ao show do Elton John e, na volta de madrugada, passei pelo centro de táxi. Cara, é triste. Nunca tinha visto tanta GENTE dormindo nas ruas. Era uma atrás da outra. Essa é apenas uma das várias facetas negativas da cidade. Depois conto algumas outras coisas.

Brazilian Bus Ride

Brazilian Bus Ride Guess what? My bus from Curitiba to Rio broke down. We caught a flat tire about 5 hours into our 13 hour drive. The tire that blew out was right below my seat. Maybe I am a bad luck charm. Fortunately, we were just a mile down from a auto service shop. It was late in the evening and the place was closed. However, we knocked on this tin door and out came a large, dark Brazilian man. We had just woken him up and he didn´t look too happy. But he didn´t seem to mind in the end...

DAAD Event in Rio - Spontaneos Flight

Yeah another travel - this time Rio de Janeiro Wow I guess I`m traveling to much. Today at 10 o`clock i got an email from the DAAD with my flight which was at 15 o`clock from the airport in Natal ;) So I really had to rush and all my afternoon plans were gone. ;) OK I didn`t had a lots of plans, but ... I also had to get money and so I really was busy and picked up my stuff, paid the hostel, said goodbye to Ivan (he works in the hostel and is originally from south africa but moved to Natal, a...

Nice to meet all the people of the DAAD

The first DAAD Meeting in Rio de Janeiro and Sightseeing Yesterday night when I arrived from the airport to the hotel I went to some bars to have a café and to read some stuff about Rio to know where to go because I have known that the meeting today just starts at 14 o clock. But before I went to bed I saw a note under me door from Yoko who is also a german girl who is studying in Joăo Pessoa in the northeast. So I went to her room and we talked a lot. She allready went to Brasil for one time...

rio vibe

... 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.

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.

We also have some very interesting guests where I'm at too. We've complained that it's not ...

'Cidade Marvelhosa' - Rum 'n Rain in Rio!

... tha t-we-can't-really-afford' kitty. Strapped into our harnesses, that looked more like bulletproof apron (suitable for use by Venezuelan bus toilet cleaners after we'd given it a run for its money), and then hooked up to the wing we ran off the edge of a mountain into thin air, soaring like a bird (and above birds)... Yet another once-in-a-lifetime experience, hard to describe.

Unfortunately, thats where the great weather ended and the rain started ...

Day 100 - Rio de Janeiro

... bless. I thought that was really nice of her as we had only just met. It's so much easier to keep in touch too now with facebook. When I got back from the shop I headed over to Copacobanna beach to an area of the beach in front of the copcacobanna beach, which was recommended as a place where all the hot people go, so of course I qualified lol. Spent the day on the beach and managed to sun bath for quite a while without ...

Rio de Janeiro - Karneval

In Rio ist die Hoelle los, das bemerken wir schon als wir mit dem Bus die Stadtgrenzen erreichen - Menschen ueber Menschen und das soll sich auch bis zu unserer Abreise nicht aendern. Mit seinen seinen 7 mio. Einwohnern ist Rio de Janeiro die zweitgroesste Stadt Brasiliens nach Sao Paulo. Dank meines Cousins Basti haben wir koennen wir mit in ein angemietetes Appartment im Stadtteil Leme ziehen. Leme liegt direkt neben Copacabana was ...

Rio De Janeiro

... ascent to the top, the views on the way up were good, but from the top, they were truely breathtaking, you are able to have an almost 360 degree view of the city, you can see both the north zone and the south zone, the Pao de azucar (sugar loaf mountain), Copacabana and much more. On the top, it is pretty packed with all the tourists scrambling for the best viewpoints over the city, but truely amazing, furthermore, we were lucky enough to have good weather ie no cloud to hide ...

Welcome to the concept of 'd'stroyed.

Today I walked around Leblon, a very affluent area of shops & maximum security housing complexes with pistol toting guards that growl at you if you peer through the gates. Seemed a strange, if sadly necessary place to live. I have yet to see any of the poorer areas but it is already apparent that Brazil is one of the most unequal societies in the world, just as Alan Gilbert lectured to me . I Found Pedro II park ...
