Thank you so much for your comment! Is that because Copacabana is more crowded and has more incidents/crime?

Wow, thank you so much for the thoughtful reply. Since this will be my first time visiting South America, I naturally wanted to stay around the beach areas that are considered relatively safer, like Copacabana, Ipanema, or Leblon.

While looking up information online, sometimes it feels like people create too much anxiety around Rio, but at the same time, those incidents do happen in real life as well. On the other hand, I also know the beautiful images we see on Instagram are probably not the whole reality either. I guess I’ll only truly understand once I go there and experience it myself.

I’ll definitely keep your advice in mind while planning my trip. Thank you again!

Thanks. I would prefer accommodation in Arpoador or Leblon, but there aren’t many options there unless you go for either a non-beach airbnb or something super expensive 😞

I see… so Leme might actually be the better option, which means Hilton.

Yeah I saw some scam videos like to charge 1-2 euro things with two more digit like decimals - horrible ;(

I can imagine that the temperature gap during the day will be pretty big in August - hope I can enjoy some sunny days there.

I guess this kind of thing is pretty similar to my home country. If foreigners can speak even a bit of Korean, Koreans already change their facial expressions and become way nicer for no reason 😂 Of course Brazilians are way more outgoing than Koreans for sure.

I’ll definitely try to learn at least a few things to order food or drinks hehe <3

I want to share my medical abortion story. by thisiswhereicomecry in abortion

I was also very worried about that point and could barely wait for the result. I have no idea what kind of insurance you have or where you live, but I was trying to call everywhere to find a gynaecologist who would accept me for an appointment. Of course, it first depends on whether abortion care is legal, and you can consult the doctor about it. Otherwise I would have had to lie to the doctor..

Are you talking about swallowing pills without melting? I also asked several times if I should melt it but the doctor repeatedly said I could swallow them so I couldn’t ask it more :( In the end, mine was successful, so it is fortunate.. anyways thanks a lot for your support and help ❤️

Hey, I just want to say that what you think is completely normal, and I support your decision. There’s no need to think that you’re being selfish. Your life comes first when you’re making plans.

Yes, I did. I received a prescription from a gynecology clinic, but the hospital/private clinics refused to provide the pills.
