Whatever you do or wherever you go, suggestions:
- Wear no jewelry, including a watch. If you need to wear a watch get some cheap one you wouldn't mind er, um losing.
- During the day wear shirts, sandals, t shirt. At night jean/khakis and short sleeve shirt. i.e. DON'T look like atourist.
- Avoid the favelas unless you are with a native you trust 120%.
- Lots of convincing cross-dressers in Brazil.
- Learn some basic portuguese - specifically brazilian portuguese.
- If traveling without a wife/significant other: have fun. wear protection. Aids is a serious threat there. Traveling with spouse/significant other: wear sunglasses to covertly take all the beauty of the populace in.
- Be genrous and the brazilians will be generous too. Be confortable with lots of body contact and personal space encroachment. Brazilians are the most warmest people on the planet.
- Whatever you do don't call any guy a "viadu" unless you want to get hurt. bad.
Tchau!
