So /trv/, anyone ever been to Rio? I'm looking at this study abroad program that would have me living in Rio de Janeiro for a few months and I dunno. The only thing I know is the whole "Brazilian girls are hot" stereotype but I don't even know if that's true. So yeah, anyone have any insight for an American?

I don't think you know just how much it sucks to live in Rio, enjoy your picking up a hot Brazilian chick and getting dismembered by her dealer 2 days later.

I've been to Rio a few times and there aren't as many hot chicks around here as you'd think. Of course, I wasn't partying at the clubs here but I think that'd be pretty risky going out after 11.

Yeah it is dangerous here, but only if you go the wrong places at the wrong time. You know, you go into the favelas (slums) at 11pm you know you're going into trouble. There are a lot of great parts of Rio. They have nice and big malls, amazing beaches (sometimes with amazing chicks), a lot of sight-seeing to do and even though it is such a big city, it is still connected with nature. Trees everywhere and the sea is near too.

I doubt you will go there to find some cheap prostitutes that will sell your organs as>>19738
mentioned, since you want to study there. There are many good universities in Rio de Janeiro and they have some good student programs. Check it out at Wikipedia, just go to Rio de Janeiro and look for the universities and you will find what you search for.

If you have any DESTINCT questions about something, ask. Your approach here is already very vague "lol hot girls, tell me more". Yes, very amusing American.

Rio is a beautiful place. Remember that they speak Portuguese there, and their Portuguese is very different from that in Portugal. I lived there for 3.5 years as a kid, and it was worth it. Just be careful walking around the shittier parts of Rio (I used to live near the Favelas). Abductions of tourists for Ransom was not uncommon then, and I doubt that has changed in the last 15 years. Anon No. 19754 speaks some truth. Best piece of advice: avoid doing sketchy things like prostitution and then bad neighborhoods and you should be fine. Corcovado is amazing, the beaches are brilliant, the people are mostly friendly and surrounding areas have a lot too. If you go, be sure to check out Iguacu (see pic). The place is amazing. Brazil is PERFECT if you love nature.

If you walk 5 blocks away from the main tourist areas, you *will* get mugged or worse.

I wouldn't advise you to go there for a few months. Rio is an amazing place to visit, but after a while might get boring. The hot girls steriotype is not that true, they're very average in fact, its just that you can find the girls on the beach with lesser clothing on them, which is kinda nice. And last but not least, like the others said in this thread, you have to be careful of your surroundings. Rio is a dangerous town.

OP here. Yeah, I kinda heard about Rio not being the safest place out there but I didn't know it was that bad. Your replies aren't exactly making me wanna go there, especially since I know zero Portuegese.

As far as the hot chicks thing, I still say France has the hottest girls of any place I've been and in this program I would actually be spending a few months in Paris (it's split between US, Paris and Rio with a couple of weeks in Beijing or something), so that's why I thought it might be interesting...

Bullshit. Not THAT dangerous you pussies. Seriously, why the fuck do you bitches reply to posts on countries you basically know nothing about and have never been to?

OP, yes the girls are pretty nice (especially if you like small tits, big ass) but the hot ones know it, if you know what I mean. The beaches are good for sitting on but the surf is really fucked up at Ipanema and Copacabana, for surfing or swimming you need to go to Barra. A few months would be quite a long time but OK if you make friends, learn some Portuguese etc. You do need to be cautious in some neighbourhoods, especially at night, but a lot of stuff you hear is exaggerated.

My gf was robbed on her first night after taking a simple walk around the city centre.

It's not exaggerated, you shitstain.
Rio is one of the most dangerous cities in the world, and this is because of the insane social differences. I've been there. Having so many electrified fences and security cameras is not normal in the rest of the world.

just stay away from the 'black areas' and you will be fine.

BTW the above advice is true for any country you visit.

Do you mean something special by 'black areas'? Because if you're referring to avoiding places with niggers -> that's common sense.

Dominican republic, easy as shit to get around
the old "city of god" projects in Brazil ( although there are gangs)
slums in the Philippines are fairly safe.

Although its hard to convince fags who have never been brave enough to travel beyond disney resorts
