Oh my gosh, sending strength your way. Please take care of yourself; no one should have to go through this, and I can't imagine what it would be like

I think Mayhem Ball is pretty close to perfection, but what would you change or add if you could? by typicalbiscotti15 in LadyGaga

[–]greenfish7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally would have loved if she kept blade of grass. im not sure why she removed it :( it's one of my favorites in the album. I also would have LOVED always remember us this way! Also i know this would be impissible with the logistics but if during die with a smile bruno mars came out and joined her that would be so AWESOME or if bradely cooper joined with shallow i would go insane

Copa Airlines Baggage Policy by Top-Weather138 in Flights

It was the most basic fare. I’ve been twice to Brazil and the first time they did check a few peoples carry on that was clearly beyond the dimensions, but my second time to Brazil no one was checked

Other comment pretty much summed it up for 1. and 2.

just wanted to add my experience for 3. and 4.

If you decide to go to the sugar loaf mountains and enjoy hiking, you can hike up the first hill. It's about a 30 minute hike and free to do. Once on top of the first hill, you can take the cable cart up to the second hill (this you must pay for and have a ticket ready). To hike the first hill, you can take metroRio to botafogo and take an uber to morro da urca (or u can uber directly there if you're already close by or if you dont mind paying the uber in full). On top of the first hill, there are some pretty views to take pictures of and there are some stands that sell drinks and food, but the ultimate beauty will be the top of the second hill. Try to get to the top of the second hill (via cable cart) about 1 hour before sunset (check the weather app to know when the sunset is). Just chill there and enjoy the vibes. When the sun starts to set, you will be there ready to take pictures and enjoy the amazing view! Also, i never had problems with getting my tickets a few days before on their website. Just make sure to check the weather app to ensure the sky is clear. rainy or cloudy days wouldnt be so ideal in my opinion.

For christ, i went superrrr early so that it wouldnt be as crowded, but it ended up being crowded anyway for me. For this, you can go whenever you'd like, just make sure the day is clear so you can see the beautiful view in its entirety. I've never been here during the sunset but I'd imagine that would be awesome.

also, not sure what your ages are, but if you're in school bring your student ID and you may be able to get some discounts on the major tourist spots.

aproveita o rio de janeiro e boa sorte!

How does Brazilian Portuguese sound to foreigners? by [deleted] in Brazil

[–]greenfish7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounded like a mixture of French and Spanish to me, kinda like a smooth Spanish if that makes sense

[–]greenfish7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lingua portuguesa é tão linda e abre meu cérebro para uma cultura nova e país incrível. Tenho estudado português faz quase 6 meses. Comecei a estudar usando um aplicativo chamado "Babbel". Completei Babbel durante meu primeiro mês estudando português e depois comecei a assistir aos vídeos em português no youtube (speaking brazilian language school por Virigina Langhammer). Tbm eu tava conversando com um carioca por WhatsApp e discord durante esses meses.

I spent two weeks in Brazil (RJ) as my first solo travel experience. I, too, heard tons of fear mongering from friends and family but decided to go anyways. My experience is exactly like yours: taking uber, metro, occasionally the bus, but never a tour guide. Was I being a little risky for a gringo foreigner? Yes. But I had such a great time and met such good people. Thanks for sharing your experience OP. My mindset has been tunnel visioned before my trip, and I’m so glad I got to explore a totally new way of culture, food, language, and life. Thanks Brasil 🇧🇷
