We are not going on holiday.

This here concerns me more:

"Barra da Tijuca is Rio´s most modern living complex and community; 
sophisticated, vibrant and offering innumerable attractions such as fine 
bars and restaurants serving world class cuisine, air-conditioned mega 
shopping malls featuring world famous fashions and designers labels, theme 
parks, ecological reserves and sports of all types."

That sounds like a really expensive neighbourhood. I wonder if we will be 
able to find cheap accomodation and eating options around.[1]

Any clues from our Brazilian colleagues?

in the evenings, which was really important in Athens.
