Omen?

On May 1, I bought tickets for my vacation in Brazil. I'm flying into Sao Paolo.

At least the violence is "slowing down."

 

SAO PAULO, Brazil - The unprecedented crime wave that killed at least 97 people and terrified the 18 million residents of South America's largest city seemed to be waning Tuesday as stores reopened and bus service was fully restored.

Remember bottled water only. All Central and South American countries will give you the trots if you drink their water.

 

I went to Sao Paulo for work a few times. We were told not to leave our hotels at night as we were right near the slums. Lots of poverty.

 

The beaches are awsome, nice hot girls in little clothing.

It's statements like that where I realize I am thrilled to more or less be a "shut in". Why on earth would you want to go someplace where you are warned to stay inside at night!?!

Well I had to travel quite a bit before I got married to do a global rollout for my company. They say, hey kid want to see the world on our dime. It was a lot of fun. I got to see a lot of the world. You take the good with the bad. For every bridge climb in syndey you have, or for every Hong Kong nightclub you also get your crapholes.

 

Places that I can check on the list of visted and dont want to go back.

 

Sao Paulo - told to stay in at night.

Bogota - armed escort took us from the airport to our hotel which was right next to our companies building. I didnt leave that hotel either. On the way out it took 8 hours to get through customs in Bogota. The airport is in a like valley. The takeoff and landings were interesting.

China - Disgusting filth in that country. If you want to go on a diet, go there.

Korea - Still dont know what I ate, but I have a funny feeling I would of asked it to bury a bone.

South Africa - Cool Ocean views. There is this one cliff where you can see the Indian and Atlantic Oceans coming together. Its almost like you can see a line. That was the cool. The silly amount of shots I had to get was one thing. 2 months after I left armed thugs took over the site and stole all the computer equipment.

New Delhi - nothing to eat, hot as hell, ate or drank something that made my mexico water pains seem like a walk in the park.

 

Basically all of those places if you drink the water, you get the trots. Drink bottled water. And watch what you eat and you will be fine.

Ah, makes sense now. I guess you have the cool ability to say you have been to some wild places though. I would like to see more stuff in the world, but fear and laziness keep me from it.

It's worked for me so far. How about you? Life working fine for you also, or is somebody else's method better than how you have chosen to exist? I do what I do because that is how I choose to be. I have a fear of flying, and I don't care about fixing that problem. I'm going to Vegas next week, by flight, and I am a bit of a nervous wreck about it when I think about flying. But my wife wants to go, so I am going.

 

Why am I explaining myself to you? Lastly though, you may have noticed the smiley...I was using that as a bit of an "I'm kind of joking" thing.

I am glad I did my travel before I settled down. My favorite place to travel to outside of the emerald Isle is Australia. When my son gets old enough we are going to go there again as a family. What a great place.

My wife really wants to go to Australia. But we are going to Vegas for her, so the next actual REAL trip just the two of us make is going to be to my dream spot, which is all around the UK.

Good tip about the water, don't use it to brush your teeth either. A lot of people make that mistake and end up just as sick.

My wife and I bounced around in South Amercia for a while and really fell in love with it. I was taken back by the guards armed with ak47s at most banks. Two of them greeted us at the bank's entrance with their guns drawn, asked us where we were from and what business we'd be conducting in the bank. Then they asked my wife to wait outside, then one guard followed me all the way up to the teller's window, gun drawn the whole time. This happened at most banks. We were like WTF at first, then we got used to it.
