nice places to go

Rio de Janeiro

to get there

you can go there only by ship, swimming or plane.
Of course, if you live in the U.S. or Canada you can walk there.

food

delicious and tasty. maybe the starving kids are a little bit annoying. but don't mind, due to their glue sniffing most of them are not able to eat solid food anymore.

traffic

in Rio they still search for an new Ayrton Senna. So be prepared! for the contest of the bus and taxi drivers.
If you already left the airport.
Good Luck!

sightseeing

some, but only reachable by bus or taxi ...
For blind people, there is a special service. All of the rivers are filled up with awful smelling everything but water, though no one will fall in.

crime

none, nearly.

preparation

if you really want to visit Rio de Janeiro watch city of god; of course it is a movie and eyerything is romantic and filmed from the best site of the city.
But you can get a little impression.

Why do I not go there

I have been there and survived.
So this is maybe more luck than a single man can have.

Bon voyage

in german: rio de janeiro

kick off

i told my English friends, that I write a travel guide for remaining at home.
They were very interested about that, or maybe too polite to say that I'm mad.
Anyway.
Here we are now with the English Version of the very famous bleib-daheim Weblog.
