Moved to a different hostel Stone of a Beach just for comparison purposes. Took the subway to downtown.

Walked to San Theresa which is an artistic place up on the hill.

Took a tram up there and the tram is packed like sardines. I just managed to hang on the rail.

Walked around the city and to Sambadromo which is the place to be during Carnival. All the samba schools will show their best performance here during carnival.

Went to the beach again in the evening. I didn’t take as much pics as I should have since everyone mentioned not to look like a tourist for safety purposes. However, I have not had any problems so far. There are many people playing soccer at the beach and everyone plays soccer so well here.

Leblon is beside Ipanema and Leblon is considered a place for upper middle class. Met up with Bruno I knew from Santiago, Chile at Leblon at night and he showed me around.

Apartments at Leblon are expensive and someone mentioned that some rich drug dealers live here as well. Took a public bus from Leblon back to Copacabana at 3am in the morning but I didn’t feel unsafe at all.
