[quote=bravo;1405505]i use those damn vans all the time too! to go from copa to barra shopping. or to go from copa to niteroi. the worst part about this story is that it appears that a brasilian girl was raped just last week and it looks like the police didn't do shit about it until tourists were involved. if they had did a full investigation and had locked these guys up, they wouldn't have been free to continue their crime spree.[/quote]i had a bad experience when i went to the funk party in rochina on a sunday night. a few years ago and i took the van to rochina and my portuguese was not very good but the man who took the money started fucking with me in the van and had everyone laughing at me and he became more belligerent. what he did not know is one of the players who ran rochina was my friend because i use to bring him smoke. sure enough, i call my friend and told him what was going on and he told me to hand the phone to the money collector. i did not know what was said but the whole van stopped laughing and was scared and the money collector gave my money back to me and apologized all the way to rochina. the fear in him when we got there was apparent as he didn't know if he would be killed true story. you have to watch those van drivers sometime most are cool but some are dicks.
