800 000 tourists visited Rio de Janerio in Brazil during the great
arrangement last time (21 - 24 February 2004). For most of them it was a
experience of lifetime, but for others it has been a terrible encounter with
violence and criminal acitivities.
This sucessfull carnival has also a sad side. The Tourist Police have noted a
new record: each hour during the 5 days an tourist has been robbed.
Anyway, according to experts the last arrangement
was the best ever. Not even the hard rain stopped the fantastic
carnival.
