Going to Brazil for the 2016 Olympics
Nice, what city (cities) are you going to? I was there last year for the World Cup (missed one the games i had tickets for, but that's another story lol). It's a great place, but I found the pigmentocracy jarring. Like, the treatment and visibility of the dark Brazilians make me uncomfortable, in Sao Paulo more than Rio.
That aside, I had a great time, the people were nice, country is gorgeous, and the food (acai!) was good. Check out the favelas if you can (best looking Brazilians are there too imo), and maybe they'll be better by 2016, but if you don't speak Portuguese, you're fucked lol. I was really surprised how unprepared they were for an influx of tourists. And the taxi drivers will rip you off something stupid if you're not careful, they ALWAYS try it. And they love cheese, like really love cheese. Be prepared for that.
These are the only pics I've got on my laptop atm
