I've got a lot of updates in the works and they'll be posting in the next few days. For today, however, I wanted to direct you to a great travel guide put together by Sports Illustrated writer Grant Wahl. There are tons of good bits in there.

I think the number one excuse I hear from people about not going to the World Cup is a fear of the crime there. It is definitely a problem. I'm sure many are afraid after the reports of attacks on foreigners last year. I don't want to downplay the significance of all this, but I think with proper precaution and understanding of the facts the crime fear can be mitigated.
