You´re always hearing about how dangerous it is. I really think it´s not as dangerous as everyone says though. I know there is a ton of violence, but if you stay in safe neighborhoods, you should be safe during the day. There are definitely rules you need to follow, like don´t go out alone after 11p or walk in areas without people after dark alone. Don´t take the bus alone after dark, or maybe even after 11 even with friends. Don´t ever flash your wealth. I would stay away from favelas for the most part and if you go around one, go with someone who knows what the fuck they´re doing, and don´t just assume they know what they´re doing just because they say they do (I´ve been, but only to a little one and the entrance of a big one, but only with a local kid that I know and trust. The small one was not scary, the big one was a little and I wasn´t even inside). Even if you are with someone who has been to a favela many times, there is no telling what could happen ever. That being said, Rio is a violent city, but I think more so for people who live in poorer neighborhoods. When I first got to Brazil, some guys in the favelas had shot down a police helecopter. About two days later, a thief shot a man in the street and robbed him for his shoes, hat, and wallet.... 30 seconds later the cops show up, walk past the man who is bleeding to death in the street and approach the robber, only to take the possessions he had stolen from the man bleeding in the street for themselves, letting the rober go, and leaving the man to die in the middle of the street (All caught on tape too). Now that is fucked up. I also hear that the favelas are the second most dangerous place in the world after a war zone in Africa. More people die in the favelas than the war in Iraq. The first I take with a grain of Salt, the later I beileve to be true. Yeah, Rio is a violent city for sure, but I really think as a tourist, if you stay in safe places you are pretty fine as long as you follow some obvious guidlines.

What do you guys think are the best? General agreement seems to split between Brazil/Argentina/Colombia, although I've heard murmurings of Venezuela being incredible as well.]]>

I have listed the above becuase have good friends and, or I personally have worked selling timeshare in those places. The best for making money was Mexico, the funnest was Thailand, though I only made about 1000 euros a month there. Costa Rica is great if you like to surf, though Im not into cocaine, which seems to be the top reason why people live there! I know people that make very good money selling in Canada and the US, Spain, and Austraila, though I have not done it myself.

The benefits of selling timeshare? You will definately have 2 months off a year, work a 5 day workweek of about 30 hours. You can make up to 30,000 usd a month in Mexico, if you are a natural born salesperson, or at least very charismatic.

The negatives would be, you make nothing if you dont sell and you must show up on time *not even 1 second late* and must iron your clothes very well, also you must be cleanshaven and have at least a few nice outfits.

The second option is to be a camboy or girl *you must be 18 of course. This can be done from anywhere that here is an internet connection and a webcam, though I asssume it is illegal in most of Asia and any muslim country.

As with the first option, you can make nothing, up to 20,000 usd a month if you are superhot or even just charismatic and interesting. This is very popular in Canada, I was given a card at a club in Toronto. My sisters best friend does this and makes 60k a year and she is only partime, since shes a fulltime student.

You charge a perminute rate and if you work one minute you would make, say 2 dollars. If you work a lot of minutes (with customers paying obviously) you would make a lot. I dont personally know of boys that do this, but I do know couples and females.

A sidenote
In santa theresa, Costa Rica you could probably make 1000usd a month as a bartender, since there arent many immigration officials. This is the only town I found that will hire non costa rica bartenders. Though I lived and worked in Costa Rica for almost 2 years I was never given a work permit and still havent figured out the legalities of work permits there. What I found online differs from what I discovered from my lawyer friends, and my lawyer friends, though all Costa Rican, cant even agree! I had to leave every 90 days and come back in. Also, this is the only country in the world where I was almost taken to jail twice for not having my passport on me AT THE BEACH!
