| The entrance of the stairs |
Going to Rio without research, I just trusted and followed my new friends. Turned out they were all bunch of adrenaline junkie who dared to walk on Rio's dark street after sunset. As the rumor said, it is not safe for you to stroll in the street after sunset. Robbery, pickpocket and all kind of crimes are gonna haunt you.

It was very terrifying. It was my first day in Rio and they already took me to such unwanted adventure. So we had early dinner and they wanted to take me to the famous stairs in Rio called Escadaria Selaron. There were almost no one on the street leading to the stairs, more alone foreigners.

| world map! |
Before reaching the stairs, we saw this world map with names written there. They said we could write our names by paying a small fee? Not sure. It was definitely not the business hours so I could not figure out and I was really really hesitant. I wanted to go back to my hotel like ASAP.

But my friends were all excited and forced me to pose before leaving. Okay...
Turned out it was a really good one! Thank you, Jihwan!
Then after more walking for a few hundred meters, we reached the stairs!

| stairs without human! |
No tourist was in sight, only some local... gangster, I would say.
Yes it was indeed very nice and pretty but PLEASE just do not come at night like us. Yes, I hate humans and I normally looooove visiting in such a weird hours like this to avoid crowd but safety is always priority! I was really scared and being there on my very first day did not help either coz I basically was just overwhelmed.
A memorable visit and dear my friends, thank you for pushing me not to back out and escape to my hotel room!
