Rio gets the 2016 Olympics...
Well for those mongerers that wanted the Olympics in Rio...you got it. But be careful what you wish for...as things are about to get interesting over the next few years, with regards to perhaps some serious "house cleaning".
Around the World in 80 Lays – Bottom Line
The purpose of this site is sharing information. Most of us post here because of that desire. It likely came out of the fact that when we first started traveling we found the information here valuable.
The author, Joe Diamond AKA Rio Joe, came here about a year ago posting for the sole purpose of hyping himself, his Hustler article and what he hoped was an upcoming book. He came here for one purpose, to benefit Joe. That is a recurring theme throughout his book. How can he get someone else to pay for his trips under the guise of doing a story?
He has never been to Thailand, but uses the posts from forums like this one as a basis for his “travelogue.” Same with Germany. Bottom line is he has been to Rio a few times and that section is filled with misinformation and hyperbole. He, like many others of his kind, is all hype and no talent just out to make the quick buck.
Candidly, I bought the book online before I realized the author. It quickly became a bathroom book; however the temptation grew to start using the pages after the deed so I finished it and returned it to Amazon.
Again, most of us are here to share information for the benefit of others. I bought the book, read it, and found it to be worthless. There is better information on Rio right here. And, why would someone buy a book to read about Thailand and Germany when the content is simply reposts of what is found here?
