Members mvan1 Posted August 27, 2019 Members Posted August 27, 2019 The author obviously does not know Brazil - Title of article: "The Safest Tourist Center In The World" http://www.travelmagma.com/blog/the-safest-tourist-center-in-the-world/ The Safest Tourist Center In The World SolaceSoul 1 Quote
Members SolaceSoul Posted August 27, 2019 Members Posted August 27, 2019 “Safety is assured when you are here. You have nothing to lose with the security measures that are put in place for you. You have so many things to benefit from while you are in this city of Brazil. And at the end of the day, your holiday is going to be something you ever dream of at an affordable rate. A tourist center without safety cannot be complete. This is the reason why people are now making their holiday here in Sao Paulo. There are lots of things you would be able to experience while you are like experiencing virgin vegetation and great tourist centers at a rate you would not worry over. All you need to do is research a little before coming to Sao Paulo.“ Research a little and you’ll learn quickly that safety in São Paulo is NOT “assured”! axiom2001 1 Quote
Members Latbear4blk Posted August 27, 2019 Members Posted August 27, 2019 Let's not pick on SP, that narrative is ridiculous to sell any big city around the world. It is really weird someone would write something like that, and even weirder getting it published. Quote
Members trencherman Posted August 31, 2019 Members Posted August 31, 2019 That is done in fiction all the time. Take for example, Gorky Park which is a 1981 crime novel written by American author Martin Cruz Smith. In spite of its chilling verisimilitude, he has actually never been to the site of his detective story. Quote

Take a look at the site that sponsored that article - www.travelmagma.com It is a respected travel site that advises travelers and/or suggests places for travelers to visit. Click on this link: http://www.travelmagma.com/ then click on "ABOUT US" and watch their video. That link takes you to a site that offers travel information and suggestions about many places in the world. Obviously, when it comes to the review and suggestions about Sao Paulo, they goofed - big time. The information was not intended to be fiction based on the link provided that shows the services offered by the site. That cite makes money (commissions) for travel shown on its site. Based on a read of the Sao Paulo article, it is clear that the author has never been to Sao Paulo to falsely conclude assumptions about the city being safe. Or, if that person really visited Sao Paulo and believes the city is safe, the person is delusional or had an armored travel escort while visiting. Quote
Members trencherman Posted September 2, 2019 Members Posted September 2, 2019 May I respectfully suggest that you take your observation with them instead of here where we are already well acquainted with your extensive experience with safety in São Paulo. Anyway, what are you doing in a review of a place that you know like the back of your hand? Don’t you have any important things to do? Quote

Anyway, what are you doing in a review of a place that you know like the back of your hand? Don’t you have any important things to do? What a strange and inappropriate post you just made. Your post is more absurd than that fake Sao Paulo review I discussed. For your information, I read many things. I happened to come across that false review of Sao Paulo posted in a respected travel cite. I was amazed at how inaccurate it is with its false claim of Sao Paulo being safe while it is not safe. I commented in this forum to warn others in case they see that same incorrect review of Sao Paulo and believe it. After my alert, you alleged that the review was intended to be fiction - which is not correct. Now you wrote that I should not read reviews about places I know well - - - - You asked - "Don't I have more important things to do" Yes, I do. One of those important things to do is to acknowledge that you are an internet troll. How disappointing - You had some interesting posts to this forum in the past. I cannot imagine what motivated you to write your bizarre response as you did. Live and learn Edited September 2, 2019 by mvan1 Quote

This makes absolutely no sense. You don’t want reports or reviews from people who know a place well? You only anticipate reviews and information of places from unknowledgeable sources? mvan1 1 Quote
