Yeah, that's what I've heard. And sadly, Rio is the exact spot I want to visit.
The one time I came close to going was with another girl friend and we were told by many people that we probably wouldn't come back alive, lol. I'm about as white bread as they come, with light blonde hair, and she was too, so we definitely wouldn't have "blended in". I'd love to go, but I definitely think it would need to be a group thing, or at least have a few big guys.
