Ok, sorting by country or name is now available.

 

[TMOY]

Where are you all staying ?
I just booked at Pousada Valparaiso, which is reasonably cheap and close to the venue.

Fantastic! Thanks Pedro, that's totally baws.

Oh, I'm not sure if the english version links to the correct page, but there's an english page here:

(But I'm sure you could imply that "País" means "Country" and "Nome"...well, that's too easy )

We're looking at Ibis Budget to host our staff group. They have rooms for 2 or 3 people for about 30 dollars per person/night.

that's totally baws.

More people need to say this!

Guys, I plan to have a 2 weeks trip with Rio De Janeiro/Sao Paulo. But found nothing else to see then Sugar Loaf mountain/Jesus Christ statue. Could you link some travel guide to Rio/Sao Paulo?

Guys, if anyone plans to spend some time in Rio de Janeiro before or after the competition?

 

[Dene]

I plan on visiting Rio before the competition, but I haven't sorted out any plans yet. I have no idea how long I'll spend there or what I'll do.

Here's the list of places in Rio that my girlfriend and I have planned so far:
Corcovado (Christ the Redeemer)
Sugar Loaf
Maracana
Botanical Gardens
Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas
Copacabana
Arpoador
Lapa neighbourhood

And how do you plan to travel between the 2 cities? As I read a coach-trip is 7 hours. :confused:
2 coach trips are 2x7 hours. :confused:
Dene, neither me know anything sure but it is time to buy the flight tickets.

Rio-São Paulo is a very very very common travel path, so there are lots of flights:

They take less than 1h, and are probably more worth than going by bus or other way.

For now I'm still putting off sorting out flights. I'm kind of hoping to think about it more in April >.<

I'm pretty anxious about WC15: my first big comp and held at my backyard! Specially looking forward to the FMC! Glad that Auroux will be on the field! Also looking forward to meet cubers from all around the world. BTW, I speak both English and Spanish (besides Portuguese, of course) but shamefully no Dutch, if anyone needs help getting around during the comp!

That's a nice list and easily doable. If you get a chance I'd recommend a trip up to Santa Teresa for a ride on the tram too.

It's more than a decade since I've been to Brazil and I'm very jealous of you all.
