Safe is a very relative term
October 18, 2007
So i'm finally spending some of the money i've earned!
i'm in recife right now, way up north. i'm in my hotel instead of enjoying the nightlife cause the food is really heavy and it's apparently not safe to walk the streets anywhere.
right after i got here, i asked the front desk where i could get a nice meal cheap nearby, and they recommended a restaurant 3 blocks away, then arranged a ride for me. in fact, they insisted. the hotel made it sound like they were protecting me form the prostitutes. to their credit, the hoes are EVERYWHERE.
still, not being able to walk outside at night is pretty lame. i only picked this overpriced hotel cause the cabbie said it was in a safer neighborhood than the other one i was thinking of. what's the point of being in a safer neighborhood if you can't walk outside?
