Rio is great!!!

So I'm still alive. Nobody mugged me yet or killed. There's plenty of police at copacabana and it looks that you need to use a common sense as everywhere else.
There's so much going on and to say I don't know where to start! Rio is great!!! Already love it!

So the first thing after arrival I talked to a Czech guy in a hostel and he gave me some advices what to see appart the obvious things. Then I went to see an icon of Rio: Cristo Redentor. See the pics. Then famous Compacabana. To be honest there beach is not hing special and you cannot take swim bcs of polution. i thing that's a promenade along the sea and the night life that is so special.

But the best thing that happend to me was that I booked this hostel - it's small and bcs now it's autumn and low season in Brasil there is no many people. So after 2 days I knew almost everybody! It's amazing! I heard it's normal and easy to meet people in hostels but I didn't expected is SO easy! Or Im just such a friendly and easy going person... I really dounbted in London but fuck! I am! And staff is briliant. They are so friendly! They really help us to organise time be safe and have fun.
So in the evening we all having drinks together. Yesterday we went to a brazilian bar with live music. I was dancing to the rythm of samba with carioca - a guy sort of working in our hostel and I couldn't believe it. It's so BEAUTIFUL!
I met 2 Irish girs for 3 years away. A canadin guy for 3 months in Brazil. Braszilian guys from Manau - Amazonian region. It's gr8 I can speak to Brazilians and locals here - I can find out about life in brazil.

I booked Rio for 3 night as it was suppose to be so dangerous and not worthy to stay. From one day to the other I was saying one more day. I know I gonna stay here a week.
Today we went to famous favelas - slamsy po polsku. Like in the city of God for these who seen the film. I didn't expected what we really saw. See the pics. I would need more time to explain you this experience. Just that to go to favelas of course you not going on yr own. you need a guide who knows people. We were accompanied by another guy from favela. Kids were saying 'hi' to us and at the end we gave them sweets. And we had a beer over there...

Now we going to a brazilian - but local - club with music again.

So just try to imagine the feeling when you don't have to go anywhere and you stay as long as you want in the place. yes yes yes!!!
