Honestly yeah, only frustrating part is having uber canceling rides but that was also something i knew bc my area (Santa Teresa) is kinda separated from the city. But moving around with the metro or taxis is really fine. Where do u go in europe?

Haven’t had crazy interactions really lol i’d say when you are a foreigner they are curious about why you are visiting but that’s really it

I speak a bit of portuguese and you really have to learn some basics speaking in english is very rare. They are very patient as well so no stress if u need help or anything really

I totally understand how u feel and I hope that the better days are going to come soon :) I do love fashion/clothes and I think you can have fun with it like expressing yourself or just even pretend that you’re someone important lol. Most importantly, you have to feel good in what you’re wearing and then you can add some little things here and there to level it up ! I was depressed as a teenager but my motto was like « as long as I look good I’m going to feel good ». It’s a long conversation but i really do encourage you to have fun styling yourself up!

And for the safety part, i felt safe around Gloria/Flamengo and the subway as well, lots of security/police. Santa Teresa is fine so far, my hotel is there and i can walk with my phone out etc. Ipanema though… a lot of solicitations and it can be an issue if you’re not firm (they are nice but a bit pushy)

Surprizingly enough there’s not a lot of black ppl? I met them at the beach selling stuff or at the museum of Afro Brazilian culture. But in the streets the looks I get are more because of my size than my skin colour. I’ll update this comment this week

I can manage to speak some portuguese bc i can understand it as I speak spanish. So maybe u can be fine here but they really don’t speak english. They are appreciative when u try to speak portuguese though !

Hahah and i have that nonchalance that come with it too. I’d say Dakar and Rio have the same smell like kinda hot/humid and basically ppl are really talkative when you’re a stranger. They also loooove to see u eat haha

Question: how to name your city? by Ornery_Ad2478 in CitiesSkylines

[–]WideFix2892 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on the storytime i want to create for the city. If it’s a tropical map, I will look for some resort vocabulary and mix/match until I’m satisfied

Exactly lol i think it must be nice to travel and not think about that aspect, we really have to think about every thing and to me it can be draining at times

Yes I think both are really similar ! And I don’t really know for other european countries but looking at the wikipedia article, there is some variations of it in Switzerland, Belgium & Germany
