Hi, <BR> <BR>I am traveling back to Brazil for the third time in less than two years... Yes, I love this country! I'll be staying in Rio for about two weeks during the end of November. Is anyone going to be traveling to Rio during this time? I would love to meet up with some people who are traveling to Brazil or who are from Brazil. btw... I am a 23 year old male from U.S.... i will also be traveling with a friend... just looking for some cool people to hang out with in Brazil... Also, do you know of some other sites like this one that I can check out? <BR> <BR>Thanks, <BR> <BR>Eric

Eric - We are not going to Rio until March but am curious about your impression of the city and where are good places in the city to go. Obviously, it will be our first time going to Rio and would love to know more about it! Thanks

Hi Eric<BR>maybe if you like CHAT ROOMS - here it goes 2 suggestions of popular brasilian chats (bate-papo): www.uol.com.br , www.ig.com.br . Despite the fact the sites are in portuguese, maybe you find some people who can speak english. BUT be sure that if you decide to meet someone from the Chat, meet the person in a public place and who seems to have a very good education.<BR>Have fun !

hi,<BR><BR>I've just arrived from Rio where I've stayed for 3 weeks. You should avoid copacabana, it's awful.<BR>I'm sure you gonna have a niiiice time in Rio, the city is so beautiful.<BR>Ilha Grande and Buzios are amazing but you can't miss Petropolis (imperial city), Paraty (colonial city), Maua and Sana(on the mountains). If you stay for a while in Rio the city, you should contact the Carioca Hostel, a new hostel with cool people from all over the world. The hostel is brand new and it's like a "Pousada". They have internet acess, swimming pool, bikes and the young people who runs it are so friendly and helpful.<BR>You gonna love the place and Rio de Janeiro.<BR>their email is: [email protected]
