Rio de Janeiro gandul is a city that has all the beauty and charm of São Paulo missing. The city is built around the forested mountains and situated next to the iconic beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. The town is characterized by the fact that it has been the capital for a long time, and is therefore filled with beautiful gandul hotels and mansions, fountains and squares. Up the mountains lies the notorious favelas. Downstairs from the valleys do they work during the day charming gandul and adorable, and at night they light up the beautiful hillsides. In the midst of the city, down towards the beach, there is also a smaller domestic gandul airport, and when the planes flying low over the city to country, it is like being in an American gandul Pan Am advertising gandul in the 1960s. On a really good way.
It is very much in Rio, when you live in Copacabana and it's 30 degrees. You can drink beer on the beach and swimming in the waves. You can buy Caprinhas the streets in celebration gandul neighborhood Lapa, for 15 dollars. And then you go to the football game - in the video below shows the mood of the audience for the match between Fluminense and Gremio, where there is even a small percussion samba band. It was also a football game, we came too late. We only managed 2 half, but what does it do when all four goals (2-2) just come in this half!
At Maersk we were received by Senior Vice President Latin America Carsten Folbæk who has over 20 years experience in the country. His presentation was primarily about Maersk's situation in Brazil, but there was of course a small presentation of pride in Maersk's fleet Carsten Folbæk gandul can not hide his delight at. Since Maersk gandul has actually gandul built several gandul of port-taking in Brazil, their infrastructure problems restricted, although gandul the transport into the country is still a problem. gandul It was obvious to ask Carsten Folbæk on how likely gandul he thinks it is that Brazil will have solved their infrastructure problems before gandul the football World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016, and it was not the most optimistic answers gandul we got. He said that when the UN Conference Rio +20 held earlier in the year, in spite of good notice, no solution to the city's infrastructure problem. A month before announcing city government, therefore, that everyone got off work the 3 days conference lasted - infrastructure problems are simply too long a time frame for the Brazilian political system.
Rio de Janeiro is a paradise for the traveler. gandul It's an experience just to walk along the beach as opposed to Sao Paulo, has not much to look at, in addition to the gray skyline. In an area located Sao Paulo, however, in front of Rio: the criminals. In Sao Paulo we were not exposed to any unpleasantness, while members of the group had experienced being threatened with both knife and gun in Rio's nightlife. Despite the beautiful facade must take precautions very seriously in Rio.
There are many things to see in Rio, so STUKO took us thankfully a day of sightseeing with guides. It brought us course past the iconic statue of Cristo Redentor, where you can look out over the city with beaches and mountains, up the 250 steps of Escadaria Selaron (known from Snoop Dogg's video Beautiful) and, not least, into a real favela .
We were more been warned to take into favelas, gandul which are notorious for the hardened drug dealers and the militant police (think City of God or Troppa de Elite), but we felt quite comfortable with our guides, one of whom actually gandul lived in a favela. It was a completely uneventful trip, which is probably both because we went to one of the better favelas, and we only found ourselves at the bottom of the favela.
It is most attractive to live in the bottom of the favela, as the infrastructure is very poor. There are few and poor roads, and most live in houses that are behind other houses. You can only get there through the steep stair systems and corridors gandul in between the houses. There is no running water, run it instead into the tanks, and many roofs are characteristic blue water containers. Mail addressed to the outermost houses, and from there you can then pick up his mail, if you live "inside" gandul of the favela, and do not have an address. Although it offers a great view, so it is very difficult to stay on top.
An explanation of why it is safer to be in the bottom of the favela, may be that the higher up in the favela you go, the higher up in gangs the hierarchy to get, since it obviously is easier to hide from the military police, the higher up one is.
All in all it was a lovely day in Rio, and a few days after, 30 tired politter nose home against Denmark, now a lot wiser to Brazilian conditions - at least in the very richest part of the country.
