21 years and 5 months ago in Rio de Janeiro


Christ the Redeemer 
One day after my birthdate, May 24 1992, James Brooke wrote and article about the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development
from June 3 to 14 in Rio de Janeiro, the city that I live. Brooke tells us that Rio was investing heavily on being a green city; constructing 20 miles of sidewalks along the beach from Copacabana to Barra da Tijuca. Also, Rio was investing on safety for its population and tourists, who were increasing every year. Brooke gives tips for the unwarned tourists that believe nothing will happen to them. Rio was a city where crime was in almost every cornet, from pickpockets to kidnaps. He continues the article by giving some tips on what to do while staying in Rio; many cultural and exciting things are available from people from every range of age. Hiking, museums, Botanical Garden, concerts are available in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. He continues by saying which hotels are good to stay and also which nightclubs are good for the young tourist that want some nightlife action after sightseeing the entire day.
