So, I zipped in and out of Rio.While there, I took taxis, buses and the metro. Nobody got shot, mugged, stabbed or even intimidated. The worst thing I saw was a fellow gringo overpaying for a bag of popcorn at a soccer game. I kinda wish I hadn´t heard so many negative things about Rio, as I would have felt more relaxed.
Whilst there, I went to visit a spaceship museum with a crappy exhibit, went to the top of sugarloaf mountain (absolutely stupendous views), wandered around and went to a futchball game. -- The game was really cool - interestingly, when two enemy teams play, it´s possible that when enemy fans meet outside the stadium, one of them can be killed -- brings soccer hooligans to a new level.
