Porra! I have never seen so many fucking people in my life! It didn’t even look like Rio fucking de Janeiro anymore, it was a pen of human beings waiting to be fed their noxious fodder. The best solution would certainly be to get as drunk as the guy hanging off of that fence in his nurse costume. I’ve seriously never been knocked into from so many angles, and grabbed by so many people under the innocent premise of “beijando” (kissing). Imagine getting drenched by the flinging sweat of other people around you. Guys peeing in the sand, and women brawling with each other for whatever bullshit, and people of every size coming together rhythmically as the music plays on. It continues no matter what happens…
