The beauty of Rio getting the 2016 games is that Chicago did not! It was a thumb of the nose to the p_resident who campaigned, in person, for the games. FUBO!!!

Their idea of a filtration system is probably using 2 pairs of month-old skivvies for a filter membrane.

Yes, but I am worried about the health and safety of the athletes having to compete in the open septic tank that is the bulk of the outdoor venues. I can only hope and pray none of the athletes contract an illness and dies as a result. All due to the god-awful, wretched conditions of this third world hellhole deemed fit to host the Summer Olympics. These Olympics and the pathetic host country are turning into colossial jokes. Somehow, I am not inclined to laugh.
Sorry about the rant. Just another example of political correctness run afoul of reality. The character of Forrest Gump was indeed correct. “Stupid is, as stupid does.”

I've been 4 times. No problems. I was nearly accosted by 3 guys once, but I saw them, they saw that I saw them and they found something else to do instead. I used to speak fluent Portuguese including the slang. Not anymore. Not going back anyways.
Miss the food, love the music, pray for the people...cheers!
