The thing about living in Rio, specifically in certain, uhh, areas, is that your life is in danger if anyone suspects you. Have you ever felt this way?

I’ve been to Rio. My friends claimed that place gave them terrible nightmares at nights. I slept like a baby.

I have felt endangered in some ways in NYC, London, Rome, Paris, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Brussels. My fears were rape, robbery, slaughter. I never was in South America, so no clue. But any major city has danger zones, some danger zones are very big. Some mid sized cities are entire danger zones. I have been in Detroit which is a battle zone, at least it was at the time. My taxi driver had a .45 automatic gun in his car and showed it to me. Plus he had extra ammunition. That didn't make me feel more safe though I can use a pistol and trained with some. But as a girl things have maybe a different vibe in some areas.

Not really, but I wouldn't know anyway; I'm oblivious.
I don't get it, though--suspects you of what?
