[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Reason 967 not to go to Brazil.

[So Cal Rocket]

I was asked to go to Brazil for a month by a previous employer. Being the adventurous type, I quickly agreed to go and went to my company's Security Department to get the required "Foriegn Travel Briefing". Among the listings of Do's and Don't's for travelling to Brazil were these gems:

- Do not bring any jewelry, including wedding rings and watches.
- Do not take public transportation, including taxis.
- Always use the private car service hired by the company.
- When moving from point to point (such as a hotel to a meeting place), do not travel alone.

After reading these, I decided not to go.
