That may be the case, but there is simply no arguing that it is one of the most dangerous cities on the planet, at least in terms of its murder rate.

I tired of this media. Those who badmouth Brazil have no idea. Before my first trip to Brazil (Sao Paulo&Rio), people told me to be very careful so when I got there I kept my eyes open. However, I walked everyday in downtown Sao Paulo and Rio and didn't see any crime or violence. In fact people were very friendly and I can't hardly wait to go back there. I love Brazil and the brazilian people are the best. I was treated better than in my own country :(
