fear
OK. Four week countdown to Brazil. The last time I was there was in 1984. I have the annoying habits of a Myer Briggs P, and have not yet planned out dates and such. The impression of chaos is probably more bark than bite.. but still causes an underlying level of stress.
But there must be reason beyond disorganisation that I am putting preparation off. I think I'm afraid of being disappointed. I have no clue what expectations I might have, but it would be naive to think I haven't any. I'm afraid of crime (and it's annoying to me that I feel this) and how it might affect my general impression of this once-in-23-year trip. Ouch, that hurt.
