I support the fact that Rio is hosting the 2016 Olympics and it is a great opportunity for the people of Brazil to showcase their pride in their country. But I personally will not travel to Brazil for the Olympics because of its high crime rate. Rio is one of the most dangerous cities in the world and there are 33 murders per 100,000 people in the city. It is likely to only increase when the Olympics come because of the tourists and the mugging opportunities increase. Taken that into account, I would not take the risk of spending thousands of dollars to go to Brazil only to get mugged or killed. I would rather be with my friends here, sit on some comfy chairs, sip on some beverages, and enjoy the Olympics.
