Oh Ramsey glad to add you to the suck list. How about we just call you an ass? Ass. George not either of your two biggest R fans. Hope you hate your trip. Keep postulating, I know I’m your favourite. Cheers

I like Jamison, and I like his trip reports. Sometimes we forget the safety basics.

I think the following lessons hold for any large Latin American city:
1. Be extra-vigilant when crowds aren’t around. Know your surroundings and stay alert.
2. Know where you’re going before you head out.
3. Avoid ostentatious displays of wealth (e.g., flashing an iPhone, which, anecdotally, is expensive to purchase domestically in Brazil, or indicates that you’ve traveled abroad or know someone abroad who got you one).

I’ve been robbed, and I’ve stayed at similar cheap hotels in downtowns that emptied on the weekends and holidays. When I go out on the weekends, I take only that which I’m prepared to lose, especially if I’m walking around in Havaianas.

Safe travels and enjoy!

Too much sausage in this threeway for me. TJ, you’re welcome to take my place!

You do know that those who leave talk about their reasons for leaving and their interactions with you, right?

Honey, aren’t you the recent grad?

Are you not the one who ultimately pushes the “publish” button?

Take credit for your own work. It’s that simple.

To all those haters – Shhhh! Genius at play (work) 🙂 George, you just continue to amaze me with each and every comment you make. Have a great trip to Brazil, far from the madding crowd of nigerian like “credit card” blogs as rightly pointed out by Andrew. I am sure you will have much more to share after your break. Will miss your posts though.
