Hmm, nothing to how paranoid you'll get once you're there and have had
minor incidents and near misses.

My blog is at brazil-blog.softsamba.co.uk/rio-gay/travel.php has
basicaly become a travelog on this topic ! and describes some of these
feelings.

I echo the advice about taxis. Always get the guys driving by if you
can
(as a second choice to counters and radio cabs). This applies
everywhere - in Bangkok too - the guys who hang around tourist areas
have all sorts of scams.

I have a related question about taxis. My guide (footprint, s.
america) suggests taxis are *not* the safest from the airport at
buenos aries. I always take taxis from an airport counter here (in
Brazil) as common sense says this is usually the safest way and I have
too much luggage.

Is this really a problem in bs as or is there no taxci counter in the
airport or is this some budget traveller tale who tried negotiating a
fare? I find it hard to believe that the airport-police don't arrange
that this is safe.

Any comments?

I had our travel agent arrange for taxi service between the airport and
our hotel in BA. Lots of cabs in the city and no bad experiences.
