Anyone been to Brazil?

[Keith P.]

Ok, me and my best friend Mike, generally always take our vacations together, and have done so since time immemorial.

Well, we each got $3000 travel vouchers from a home builder here in town, and as we already have this years trip to Orlando paid for we decided to plan next years, and this was my year to pick.

I decided I think I want to go to Sao Paulo Brazil, anyone have any interesting information?

You people aren't much help!

[Amos Moses]

I think somebody posts here from Brazil.

Be patient asshole!

*reads between the lines* Try not to get arrested. And be careful . . . very, very CAREFUL()

I'm no help.

I heard there are a lot of hot chicks there, but that probably isn't much incentive for you.

I been there.

My knowledge of Brazil is limited to my company's experience down there. The guy who ran the operation was mugged several times, the first 2 times he was physically assaulted while the next 2 times he knew enough to have a "robbery wallet" on him - a wallet with nothing other than a wad of cash big enough that the robbers will grab it and leave. Once his home was invaded and the cops sent to investigate not only demanded money from him in order to investigate but then stole stuff from his house. We clearly must have been paying this guy a ton in order for him to stay there for so long...

Also, when we send people down to visit/work, we hire armed security to take them everywhere. We don't do that for Mexico, China, Europe, etc.

So, personally, I can't see vacationing there.

I go there lots on business --- maybe 6 - 10 times a year since 1996. What do you want to know? Hotels? restaurants?

SP is not much of a tourist city --- has the absolute best restaurants and food I have found in any city worldwide (IMHO), but it is the business center of Brazil. A few museums and such (SP Museum of Art is quite good).

At least you're in no danger of getting a tranny hooker.

Well..I was going to ask how safe it is for a tourist.
