That is obnoxious!!
"At the start of the World Cup, the Brazilian government distributed a brochure detailing what to do in the event of a mugging. “Do not react, scream or ague,” the brochure said. They warned tourists to not carry a lot of cash on them, to not flaunt their valuables, and to do periodic checks to make sure no one was following them."
No chance I'll ever go to Brazil. None.
they brought the military into Rio to rid it if crime and drugs leading up to the World Cup and have been making sure to rid it as much as possible of any more they the Olympics. I am sure tons of money went to the crime leaders to help the situation. The bad thing is in other cities the crime continues to rise and the economy there is terrible. Having the wife's family there is the only reason I consider going back after being there in 2011. When I was there I never wore my wedding ring, dresses as simple as possible.
Wow! That was eye opening. Hadn't heard any of that. I guess maybe safety is a huge issue that may not even be able to handled. I guess I don't blame anyone from not wanting to be open to that type of crime.
Its bad in many areas and so much corruption it is crazy.
