I will be there from 13th to the 23rd of June. Staying with my best friend in Porto Alegre. Hanvn't got any match tickets, gonna try on the 26th. But I'm hella excited
I booked my flights the day England qualified but before the game, day before they cost £1300, when I booked them they cost £950...I checked the day after and they cost almost £2000

Btw, i'm kidding about the hints, never been to porto alegre...but each of them has happened at least once in my city
Never been to Brazil before but I'm well traveled and not exactly heading to the slums of Rio

Thats one awesome slideshow...where did it come from? lol
Btw, ppl here are seriously going to protest for better heath/education/security during world cup
But guess what? Government wants to turn this kind of thing into terrorism hahahahah
You learn to walk around avoiding danger...and then the fun begins...
I've always had an awareness for those around me. Pushed up close on a bus, I make sure there is no access to anything important to me.
Might wanna reconsider that....
