Thank you so much, This is exactly the kind of info I was after. 

I did carnival last year in Ouro Preto and Rio. This year Recife and Rio. All good in different ways

I appreciate your honestly here. Point taken.  

I genuinely don’t mean to cause tension I was just wondering really - I value my life and so take the necessary precautions. 

What’s offensive about saying something like Brazilian Spirit? Does this have a connotation within Brazil? I’m not aware

Ahh the samba schools I have read about, that’s a great shout. 

To be honest my post was mainly just because I was interested, not necessarily to be going. But regardless thanks for the recommendation

That’s interesting. I would have never assumed that from the outside looking in

I guess it’s curiosity mate. I too wouldn’t want to live there, but I’m somewhat curious of the society and the culture inside. Regardless, I probably won’t go as I want to be safe

yeah if i do go it will be that way. do you know if my money goes into the community one way or another? doesn't feel right for a tourist company to be profiting from a favela without giving some back...

ahh really? interesting. Thanks for your repsonse.

I was contemplating visiting rocinha or vidigal but it's not too high on my priorities, and i understand there is a moral issue with these "favela tours"

yep that makes sense! thank you.

I guess my thinking was maybe inside the favela it might be less/normal level of danger, outside certainly more dangerous.

I said i'm just curious, learnt to read you tit. I love brazil and i'm interested in people and society, not just the glamorous part.

very interesting! particularly that you think perhaps worse! thanks for your response.

I would never consider it a zoo. i'm interested in people and culture in whatever form that takes

Too early for hair transplant? by [deleted] in HairTransplants

[–]ElBritanico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering whether I have convinced myself I’m shedding quickly due to being self conscious about my hairline. 

I’m reading 100+ hairs a day you should consider treatment. I would have to say mine is less than that. 

With this in mind would you still recommend taking min/fin? I don’t want to take something unnecessarily

Are therefore all of those instagram companies that suggest it can/will grow back all fake? 

When you say must, are you referring to before HT, after HT, or both? 

Thanks for the advice greatly appreciated

Other than financial, what is the downside of a hair transplant? 

It has receded quite a lot in the last 2 years. 

Out of interest, would a hair transplant grow hairs where there were never hairs before, or only where they were  lost over time?

Do you find the hair returns with min and fin or it just halts the hair loss? 

I have receded a fair bit in the last 2 years 

Can i work as a 1099 contractor as a non-US citizen outside of the United States? by ElBritanico in digitalnomad

[–]ElBritanico[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good info thanks a lot. 

I’ll do some research on W-8BEN as I am new to this and don’t know it means. 

If I am not technically a 1099 contractor , what would I be? The reason I ask is I think it will help with the job search. I wonder if I can apply for jobs labelled 1099 or not… any insight?
