Don't go. Crime is rampant. You'll surely be raped, carjacked, kidnapped and shot.
Europeans say the same things.
Except when they say this, they are talking about traveling to the U.S.
Go militaryphotos and look at pictures of what? Of cops shooting it out in the

I can imagine how boring living in western Europe must be. I don't blame her for wanting to go Brazil. Sure, there's more crime there than in the US or Europe, but if you use that as a guide of where you can travel your world just got a lot smaller.

Brazil is the country of the future, and always will be.
