I was there for one year, October 31, 2013 to October 31, 2014. (So, I was technically without a visa for some time). That was around the World Cup when I was there and maybe a few other things. I met wonderful people, US tourists too. Black American travelers which was great. I never left the city really, just the day trips here and there. I grew up in a small town so I love cities, haha. How about you? When did you go?
