A shanty town where over 120k people live, average salary 1k Real per month, I wasn't allowed to take pics of the sub-machine gun carrying drug dealers, the police go into these places.

People don't like having there photo taken here, it's considered rude, the coffee looks like.......... you guessed it COFFEE and as far as beer goes, Rec, I am not even going to pretend to try and write a review for you, my favourite so far tho is Itaipava, full strength with out that burn your taste buds with acid feel that Aussie beer has.

On a side note the bbq houses here are awesome, walk in, grab a plate and go to the salad bar to put a little green stuff on, wait at the table and the waiters walk around with spit skewers full of freshly cooked meat and slice it off onto your plate, all you can eat for around $20-$25

Fuck dude you went near the Favela's? You're game.

Post 9

Yeah bud, pretty fucking insane there, the cab driver that acted as my guide takes tourist there, he gets one of the locals that speak some english to take you around and show you places where you can take pictures without getting shot, it was well worth the tour, what I couldn't take pics of was fucking crazy, they build homes on top pf homes on top of home, one day they will try a level to high and it will all collapse.

Post 10

If the internet wasn't worse than Australia's I would post the Coffee, beer and women pics I have, just to satisfy you all

Post 11

Yeah dude I watched Chris Ryan's Task Force when they went to fight the gangs in the Favela's, that shit was insane. You got balls for going to that 'side' of Rio :p

Also - send me pics when you get home :)

For all you doubters

Average women at Copacabana

Rather tasty beer at the same location

And look, coffee, all from the same place. Things only get better!!

Post 13

Need more proof (especially of the first one), they could have been photoshopped.

Post 14

Photoshop while on holidays?, uh huh sure buddy, because I don't like going out and drinking, not at all

Post 15

So far it has been 2 days of Rock in Rio, sight seeing, Amazon jungle, dune buggy tours of Fortaleza and currently in Salvador, next stop is Panama

Post 16

I've been watching the Rock in Rio thing on Youtube Live... looks to be a great place for a festival. Very envious.

Post 17

It was pretty awesome, they have vendors that walk through the crowd selling water and beer, no need to go line up if you don't want to leave the show.

Post 21

Post 22

i think tumblr?

Post 23

Looked at tumblr and realized how annoyed I am getting with sites detecting the region I am in and not letting me change the page to be in fucking English, I guess these pics will have to wait, oh and a couple are quite nice..........

Post 24

how safe do you feel in these areas? cause it sure looks like a kickass location

Post 25

Its Cryodeath. I would be looking out for him rather than other people. He looks shady.

Post 26

The areas are pretty safe due to a heavy police presence, Rio is host the upcoming world cup and the olympics so the are cleaning up the area. There are many assault rifle and sub machine gun totting uniforms patrolling plus endless pockets of municipal guards with really big night sticks.

Lothar, Ratty and Cyphix..................... Go F&^% yourselves................ Only because what you say may have a degree of truth in it.

Peru Business News: Backus & Johnston aims to exports Cusquena beer to Australia in 2010

Rec, hopefully you will be able to find someone that sells the Malta. It is DELICIOUS!

Oh and so where those ribs :P

Post 29

Well I am in Santiago, decide to go for a walk, oh hey a few bus loads of riot police out the front, more down the road, student protests FTW!!!!

Post 30

And I bet even the protesters there are hot. All we get are The Great Unwashed camping in mud in the city square.

Post 31

The women here are nothing short of spectacular, the best part is the are also very friendly and open. It is the complete opposite to Darwin where you say hello to a girl and she looks at you like you are a warm, steaming piece of dog shit on her shoe because you acknowledged her existence. You say hello here and they talk to you like you are a human.

Post 32

lol you do know "show us your tits" isn't actually a greeting yeah? :P
