[Weeg]

do all the videos come from one main area?

 

[MANCID RILKO]

All the cops and lots of tourists, so the chances of being robbed or killed are smaller

 

[MANCID RILKO]

I imagine most are from the capital and surrounding cities, especially from the slums

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Most of these crimes that are recorded happen in the slums, since they have some sort of parallel state going there

 

[Weeg]

most violent place in the world i heard

 

[MANCID RILKO]

They're no afraid because they know the "justice" is on the criminals' side

I had an acquaintance go for Carnaval, he had a blast.

 

[MANCID RILKO]

I wouldn't say Rio is worse than Haiti LOL

If you don't go around parading an iPhone, jewelry or too much money, you should be ok

 

[MANCID RILKO]

I'd strongly suggest getting a cheap phone and leaving the hotel only with money you're going to spend on that day

 

[MANCID RILKO]

And don't try going into some slum like many Youtubers do, they always have a contact that gas gotten previous authorization from the crime lords

 

[MANCID RILKO]

And even so, if some sort of gunfight breaks out while you're there, good luck

Why do people want to go to the poorest areas of any country anywhere, in any case?

 

[Lily]

My acquaintance didn't have a single bad incident happen or see one. He loved Brazil.

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Because they wanna see the "real" picture, experiment what other tourists usually don't and have an "adventure".

 

[Lily]

He loves to party though, so I can see it. He spent some time in his youth in Europe as a DJ.

 

[Lily]

Stupid.

 

[Lily]

That's so dumb. Tempting fate.

 

[MANCID RILKO]

To be honest, I see some people going out of the beaten path in places like Asia and they usually find interesting stuff

 

[MANCID RILKO]

I find it awesome when they get invited into someone's home and they are offered some sort of local drink or food

 

[MANCID RILKO]

You can see the people feel honored by having some stranger that doesn't speck their language taking interest in their lives

 

[Lily]

Yeah, those could be good experiences, warm, friendly people. But aren't many areas in SA crime-ridden because of drugs?

[MANCID RILKO]

That what was I going to say

 

[MANCID RILKO]

In SA, the experience usually changes

 

[Lily]

I think that's different than simply meeting humble locals in small communities in interesting countries.

 

[MANCID RILKO]

It's not like Asia or Eastern Europe

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Like Bald and Bankrupt, when he was in Bolivia, he got warned to not go up some village in the mountains because they liked to burn foreigners there
