Photo essay: Manaus & Rio Negro in Brazil's Amazonia

by Jahanshah Javid
28-May-2012
 
[Photos have captions] I got into Manaus, the capital of Brazil's Amazonia Friday. The feeling I got was like no other. This is where nature clashes with man. A city of two million surrounded by an area three times the size of Iran and only accessible through a vast river system from the Atlantic ocean. Yesterday I took a boat tour. I couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't believe I was in the Amazon!

No pictures of man-eating tribes of Amazon?!

by Esfand Aashena on Wed May 30, 2012 08:35 AM PDT

You went all the way there but couldn't get a picture with some man-eating tribal elders?!  I saw a picture of statues of them but it'd have been nice if you could've taken some pictures of them in their village!

Hi Dara,

    Hang in there, you will get a response! If they don't respond to you, that is their loss! Any photos from N. Korea are extremely rare!

Good luck!

New Embassy?

by Dr. Mohandes on Mon May 28, 2012 03:13 AM PDT

Looks like a tempting location for IRI to set up shop or transfer employees from other sothern american nations to! it has two of the most important component that they need for setting up a diplomatic mission:

1- plenty of water

2- enough number of young ladies of appropriate age!

 

And by the way : the best players has been, still is and will be something something Muller of west germany:))

So carlos and juan and diego can gather their longs and go where sun don't shine!

Interesting jungle trip! I like the iguana photos the most!

Looking forward to World Cup 2014 and Olympic Games of 2016 in Brazil! Hopefully to learn more about this sun-soaked country & world's 6th largest economy!

Thanks for sharing and you look like a happy tourist!

Is that a real snake or you are just happy to see the locals!

Please tell the Brasilians that Messi is the best player in the world, and not Neymar!
