Time to Move to Rio de Janeiro?

promises promises

Whose promises? No loan has been offered to date. Removing the CEPO however has been an IMF demand.

Never mind the crime rate in Rio - just watch out for the industrial-size cockroaches, centipedes and other horrific THINGS....!

Look at the inflation history and economic stability of both countries then perhaps comment

I think you took this wrong, Musicman. I wasn't throwing shade at Brazil, nor was I criticizing your choice. I was just pointing out that, historically, Argentina has been about as stable as a fart in a whirlwind.

Apologies for not being more clear.

My other half and I are considering it for our winter escape. The only thing that puts me off is the safety issue. I’ve been a few times and its definitely a lot rougher round the edges. Any big city in LatAm is compared to BA.

This year we did our winter escape in Leblon and felt very safe. Each building had a 24 hour security guard that was often in front of their building during the day. The beaches were not patrolled but we had no problems. We also made wonderful excursions to Paraty and Ilha Grande with no problems. It was very different from the media reports. We did have one problem, in Corcovado a monkey stole my media luna. I did not report the crime.

We recently spent two weeks in Leblon in Rio. We saw no incidents, no homeless, no troublemakers hanging out on the streets or parks.
