		<description><![CDATA[In less than two weeks, I am headed to Costa Rica. The second half of 2011 was an emotionally draining and stressful one for me. Initially I was planning to go solo in November for a week but instead I delayed a bit and decided to go for 2 weeks in January (and a friend [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I ask people to list their favourite cities, San Francisco is often listed. I had a week off between jobs which coincided with my friend going to SF for work so I decided to tag along. My stay there also coincided with Pride. The SF pride parade was surprisingly small compared to Toronto&#8217;s and [...]]]></description>

Gal Costa &#8211; Wave This is a great rendition of Antonio Carlo Jobim&#8217;s Wave. Gal Costa&#8217;s voice is both polished and expressive yet sensitive.

		<description><![CDATA[Brazil was much more expensive than I ever imagined it&#8217;d be. I got a hint of what I was going to encounter by the prices of hotels in Rio, but I didn&#8217;t imagine that the prices would be nearly on par with Canadian ones. Brazil&#8217;s economy is the world&#8217;s sixth largest economy and growing at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite having a lot of experience travelling independently, I decided to do a group tour for part of my vacation to Argentina and Brazil, for many reasons. First, my travel partner had never been outside of North America (and had never backpacked either) so I thought a group tour would make him more comfortable. Second, [...]]]></description>

We had allotted 6 days to Rio, mostly due to the scheduling of our tour, and we worried it was too much. (We were right.) We opted to exhaust pretty much every sight in Rio in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paraty (pronounced Parachee) is a pleasant, colonial town (and a UNESCO heritage site) situated on the Costa Verde which lies on the coastline of Rio de Janeiro state. Its historic centre, in which no cars are allowed, consists of cobblestoned streets and pretty historic buildings. Although the town is becoming more touristed, I was surprised [...]]]></description>

While Niagara Falls is surrounded by casinos and fast-food restaurants, Iguazu is surrounded by lush rainforest. We started on the Brazilian side, which is less impressive, but gives a better panoramic view. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, Brazilian troops and police raided Rochinha, the largest shantytown in Rio de Janeiro. When I visited Rio earlier this year, I did a tour of this shantytown (with a company) and it was the highlight of my time in Rio. We learned that monthly rent in a favela goes for about $600 [...]]]></description>
