Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Nordico]

LOL. I have lived in Thailand for 14 years since leaving Brazil, so I am definitely Thai? Last month I was a Thai tourist visiting Brazil? Very hard to understand.

I lived 10 years in Spain and I was always a guiri to my Spanish friends. I never considered myself being Spanish. My Colombian girlfriend who had a Spanish passport and had lived much longer there, was always a Colombiana to me.

Funny, he refers to another thread and still he answers here. Strange, I'm just reporting about a case about a tourist getting knifed and the OFC tries to correct me ...

Dude, don't flatter yourself.

Naturally since you first covered the story, I simply linked to your post (from "Rio de Janeiro - Crime & Safety"), to discuss a few things I thought were odd about the news article. My comments weren't directed at you, they w/r to the news article.

I posted/reported on what I had read/interpreted from the news article and thought a few things were odd, about what was covered in the story. Again, it had nothing to do with you and was commenting on the story itself.

Funny how you impose yourself on anything and everything you think is about you. It's NOT ABOUT YOU! Get a grip!

BTW, good luck with the whole "...I have you on my ignore list", thing.

Anyway, I'll finish my response in kind in "Rio de Janeiro - Crime & Safety" thread.

Great Video of Barra, where I live.

I would have thought it obvious to some, but whatever. Just a reminder that there is a "Rio de Janeiro - Crime & Safety" thread relating to said talks. Carry on!

According to Meia Hora, but lost in translation?:

PS: "Chorei o dia inteiro, depois que cheguei ao hotel. Ele (o responsvel pelo ataque) no queria me roubar, porque era s pegar o celular que estava no meu colo. Ele quis me machucar e isso choca. Nunca mais volto ao Rio", desabafa Janana.

"I cried all day after I arrived at the hotel. He (the person responsible for the attack) didn't want to rob me, because he just took the cell phone that was in my lap. He wanted to hurt me and it shocks me. I'll never go back to Rio," Janana says.

Funny, he refers to another thread and still he answers here.

Strange, I'm just reporting about a case about a tourist getting knifed and the OFC tries to correct me. You use Google translate trying to understand an article, in a incorrectly way. Your translation is totally wrong. In your quote she tells that he didn't want to rob her, if so he could have just taken her mobile phone in her lap.

Furthermore read the article linked earlier:

https://www.metropoles.com/brasil/tu...-me-esfaqueava

She says "Ele andão levou nada. Andão queria roubar". That is "he didn't steal anything."

Maybe even more simple would be watching the video in the article and you would see that she's still holding her mobile phone when she enters the hotel.

I know you love attacking my posts, even though I have you on my ignore list, buy maybe you can get off my back now.

Yes, but if you watch the video, you can see that when it was all said and done, she still had her phone in the end.

...Another poster wrote that he stole her mobile phone, incorrect. He didn't manage to steal anything...

I'll be down for the carnival is there any chance I can find some place to watch the NFL draft?

Please check your PMs. Sent you one.

[Jimmy Boy 99]

I will be in Rio tomorrow. PM me if anybody wants to meet up for drinks and hunting or 4 x 4.

P.S. Anybody been on the site meupatrocinio.com? I am getting a lot of success on this site.

Please check your PMs. Sent you one.

Yes, and the crackudo did not know how to use a knife, or he used a very bad one.

Had he been armed with any dive or hunting knife, those strikes could have been fatal in seconds.

It was most likely one of those knives commonly used for meals in Rio, 3-4 inches long but with a thin blade, which can leave some nasty puncture wounds still.

If he had aimed for eyes or a neck artery, he still could have killed her.

Poor woman. Lucky she reacted quickly. She had the sense of calling the attention of the hotel staff instead of having the crackudo chasing after her on empty streets. Quit a fit woman to be 48 years old. I think the hotel must be South American Copacabana Hotel.

The crackudo leaves quite calmly. He knows in a few hundred meters he can hide in Cantagalo / Pavo / Pavozinho.

MrE, we can call her Brazilian if that makes you happy. At least in Europe, when an immigrant lives in a country for 8 years, working (she has a shop) and most probably having a citizenship, then she's considered having that nationality. However this is unimportant to this thread.

Pretty scary watching her frantically trying to open the door to get back inside the hotel. It may have only been 3 seconds but that is a lifetime if someone is stabbing you repeatedly. (Thank goodness he had run off by then).

Her origin is Brazilian, but as she lives in France for 8 years she's definitely French. That makes her a French tourist visiting Brazil. Not that hard to understand.

Carioca Fake.

I'm a Swiss Naval Infantry Lieutenant Commander living in Brazil for the last 2 years, so I am Brazilian!

To become a man of the world, you must live 1001 nights, consecutively, in Rio de Janeiro.

I am a Carioca falsa -- a Carioca fake!

By the devil, and may he catch you before you enter heaven.

When I was an American student living in Toulouse, France and me and my American classmates drove to Barcelona for the weekend, nobody referred to us as French tourists visiting Spain.

I get there 1st day of Draft so I will only catch the last day of Carnival. I'm a football fan and would like to catch it, so tell me if you have any luck viewing it.
