Okay, so no jewelery or flashy watches, no fanny packs ("Hello, I'm wearing plain clothes to fit in and this is my fanny pack!"), take the taxi, keep an eye out, try to be around or people, try to get around with a friend if you're bringing one. Easy.
But I'm wondering:
1.) If I'm in Copacabana, Leblon, or Ipanema, is it still as dangerous? Even in these upscale neighborhoods, I still can't go about shopping, in Ipanema for example, and be more relaxed?
2.) There's a jogging/biking trail running along those beaches, right? When I'm jogging, will I still be a target? Assume I obviously won't be jogging with an MP3 player or anything.. just shorts, socks,shoes, what's there to rob?
3.) So there's the Parque Nacional De Tijuca in Rio. And they have trails. Will I be a target to get mugged, also?
4.) In general, if I'm outside of Rio, Sao Paulo, and Salvador, is crime rate still high?
5.) How do I go about actually taking a photo?
