#1 .. protests over shoddy public services and corruption

You can have inefficiency or corruption and generally muddle your way through. Pushing both at the same time usually cuts the life of a regime that is unwilling to brutally suppress the prols.

#4 Stay out of the Ghettos, Americanos are worth a lot of money to some of the AK47 toting gangs. The people in the Ghettos indeed are impoverished, buses are over crowded, with huge crowds waiting at the bus stops hoping to get on.

Bicycles and small motor bikes are the most common forms of travel for them, a small car with no A/C, manual transmission would take a life time for a family to pay for.

If a guy comes up and tries to steal from you, watch your back, his partner standing off to one side as a lookout will charge in and put a blade in your back if your resist.

The Federals don't put up with thier crap, the went in to the Ghettos near Rio and shot up a lot of gangs.

Been to Brazil to go to the Amazon, you will do fine if you follow the basics above.
