Anyone contracted in Rio?

Possible gig on the cards at a bank in Rio. I've never been. Would probably be 12 months.

Can you do it on the cheap without risking getting killed? I'm on a cash grab, not a twavelling twip.

If you're serious I may be able to put you in contact with someone who has property to rent over there

Worked there for 6 months in 2000.

Had a great time there; didn't experience any problems at all though there are certain areas to avoid.

I've heard that they have sanitised the touristy areas, i.e Copacabana and Ipanema and that all the street acts you used to see performing & pedding their wares are no longer there. All in the name of security. Shame if it's true because that was one of my favourite aspects of that place.

I have careless memories of the place but save a prayer for the children that are hungry like the wolf.

Don't wear fook all flash, as you will get mugged, sometimes with malice. Travelled there in the 80's, mugged twice, once by knife, in which it was used just because they could. Still have the scar on my chest, my aussie friend whom I was with still has a gaping scar on his shoulder where he was cut for fun.

I am told by friends who have since visited, for I shall never darken its shores again, that nowadays, at night, you're likely to simply be killed and then robbed, as it's less hookey for the mugger than to fight with strangers.

Not a place I really enjoyed if I am going to be honest, but then muggings do jade the memory of a place a touch. I know many will say there are didgy folk everywhere, but this place has more than it's fair share.

Was once told a story by a Brazilian in London. He said when god was making the earth, after he'd finished, he thought he'd ****ed up, South america was far too nice, much nicer than everywhere else. So to balance it up, he put south americans there....
