Well Brazil continues in my estimations as the dodgiest place in the world after a crazy night at one of the mini carnival parties. Got the usual crew of international backpackers together and hit the town. All fine and dandy till about 2 when it seemed only the dodgy fuckers were left. One girl got her necklace ripped off her neck and some chancer tried to rip my very battered 12 year old animal watch off my wrist. Cheeky fucker got a smack in the face for his trouble but decided to leave it at that as too many of the his amigos about.

Thinking of heading to an island today for the rest of my time here as waayyyy too many dodgy people here and not really enjoying the place. Everyone agrees that it is prob one of the worst places in the world. Shame as the city itself is really nice and fancy getting some pics but really not worth hanging around in as not wanting anything else to go missing!

But Mum, Dad, Ruth et al dont worry, i~m fine and not going to be taking any stupid risks.

More later,
