I decided to leave Thailand behind me and celebrate New Years Eve 2018 on Copacabana Beach, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. For all you Asia fans that have subscribed to my channel, don’t worry… I’ll be back in Asia soon with lots more videos. I used to live in Brazil so I have friends here and can speak the language, so I tend to visit on a regular basis. Rio is one of the best cities in the world and definitely one of the best places to celebrate New Years Eve. Rio used to be cheap, but then there was an overvalued Brazilian currency (The Real) and was in the top 15 list for being one of the most expensive cities to live in. It has dropped down since 2010, but still not so cheap. I love the food (but I love Asian food too) and the people are friendly. So many beautiful girls in Brazil. Maybe it’s because of the mix of blood from the Amazon Indians, Portugal, Germany, Africa, Japan… and so many more places. Réveillon (New Years Eve) used to be a little better some years ago when the fireworks were literally right over your head standing on the beach but one year someone got injured and they decided to move them back. I’m not complaining, its still a great show. Some years there are 3 million people packed onto Copa beach, but the past couple of years it has been 2 million. Violence in Rio is still an issue, and maybe not as many tourists as there were before. I mentioned in the video about Help disco being closed since 2010. I do miss that place, it was heaven for any single horny guy, full of beautiful freelancers. Just before the World Cup and Olympics were hosted in Brazil, many of these places were shut down… trying to clean up the image of the city. After Help Discoteca, the the girls moved to Balcony Bar in Copa, but that is now closed too! Mabs bar is the place now in Copa, but nothing like before. There are strip clubs where you can take the girls out… and the best are the Termas. They are basically houses of ill repute! Some of these got shut down too, but there are still plenty around. I like Brazil, but it is one of the most bureaucratic countries in the world. If you’re just a tourist, you probably won’t notice this much. But try live here and do business, its as if everything is in place to screw you over. A lot of taxis will try to rip you off if they think they can get away with it… or anyone else for that matter! So it helps to know your way around and speak at least a bit of Portuguese. I had to learn the hard way! This is just a flavor of the celebration on Copa beach. I hope you like it. Thanks for watching. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! Please feel free to like, dislike, share and comment… and subscribe… why not?!!!
