Indo ao Centro - Going Donwtown
by dargains
Se voce pretendo ir ao centro do Rio, va num dia de semana, durante o horario comercial, na minha opiniao as melhores horas sao entre 10 da manha e 3 da tarde, porque nao esta na hora do rush e mesmo assim ainda tem um bom movimento e um policiamento razoavel. Prefira o metro, e mais rapido, confortavel e seguro.
If intend to go downtown Rio, go in a weekday during the comercial hours, in my opionion the best time for a turist to be there are on weekdays from 10 A.M. up to 3 or 4 P.M., because rush hour only starts at 5 P.M., and at this time there a lot of people on the street as well as some policeman. Prefer to use to subway, it fast, clean and safe, and be carefull with your camera, watch out for little kids that may try to mug you
FISHERMEN IN ACTION IN NITEROI
by RafaelTheSecond
When my friends come to Rio, certainly make them watch very closerly how we live in our daily lives, and we decided to go to Jurujuba, our biggest fish colony in Niteroi and we could take a real genuine tour in our Bay Coast, and the swedish kids could fish just like the locals!;)
But the mood in the sea was not for fishing and we enjoyed the landscape and had lots of fun!;)
January 8th, 2005 We really had a nice day in Niteroi! :)

,,mais cheio de graca...
by mangueirense
...Due to the lot of immigrants Brazil had you will find all sort of women in Brazil: black (morena), brunette and blond-haired (loira) ones..what you prefer is your choice there!
If you come here you will see the most of beautiful women at the beaches all around or inside the bars, discotheques and shoppings. As brazilian women in general treat their body's well (by doing lot's of sports or musculation, and of course "maquiagem") you can see lot's of women in shorts or biquinis at the beach..or in short little nothings called "fio dental" in Brazil.
This is the very famous sort of biquini you will see nothing but all ! ;-) LOL
Body Beautiful Culture
by Groentje
Another BBC :-)
Everyone is trying to stay fit in Rio, and look as beautiful as humanly possible. Don't try to find topless women on the beaches; you'll find a lot of topless men, but no women. I think this is great (no I'm not gay) as it adds to the mystery :-)
But enough about that!
Sports being played are:
- beach soccer
- beach volley
- foot volley
- racketball
- jogging
- ...
People playing sports are:
- young people from 8-25
- 'normal' people from 26-65
- elder people from 66-80
Seriously, everyone's joining! I enjoyed seeing whole families playing football amongst each other, fathers and sons trying to beat others and having fun, ...
