Outrage over Elon Musk ‘Nazi salute’ at Trump inauguration(www.nzherald.co.nz)

The most “dangerous” cities are Rio, São Paulo, and Salvador. But the thing about the lethality of those cities? Most of the people who are dying aren’t foreign expats like you, it’s the inhabitants of the samesuch poor areas, surrounded by mobsters and having to just deal with that on a day to day basis.

For everyone else? The big urban centers are dangerous to your property. Be careless and you will be mugged. Not pickpocketed. Mugged.

But at the same time Brazil is a pretty large place with lots of different cities. I’ve lived in a medium-to-large city (and NOT one of the famous ones Gringos would know) my entire life and been mugged… Twice. In thirty years. Both were harmless other than the loss of my cell phone.

I’ll be honest, your country is really beautiful. I’ll probably want to visit it one day. Not sure I’d ever want to live there though - twice in 30 years is already way more than anyone I know here in Estonia, where muggings haven’t really been a thing since the 90s. I’m way too used to my safe cocoon lol

That’s fair, but isn’t Estonia like

An exceptionally nice place to live?

I would wager that for an american coming from like. NY, or Detroit, Brazil would be outright comfy by comparison.
