So I went to Rio.
Arriving in Rio De Janiero
(or as the locals say. "Hee-oh Jeejeaierjhoiewreo"), your first
thought is "Now THIS is what Brazil is supposed to look like." Palm
trees. Beaches. Big Ol' Jesus. Malaria. Everything.
Rio is, without question, a very gorgeous city. Long stretches of beautiful beaches are framed by humongous granite mountains and jungles straight out of Jurassic Park. Atheistically, I would say that the only downsides are the man-made structures (excluding Big Jesus), as every building looks like the United Nations Headquarters or the Contemporary Resort in Disney World. Well, that and the large fat men in speedos (more on that later).

Regardless, on the cab ride
to the hotel, it’s difficult not to have "The Girl From Ipanema"
playing on a continuous loop in your head. It’s also the perfect way to prepare
you for your stay at the hotel, where the "The Girl From Ipanema" will
playing on a continuous loop in the elevator.
