People-watching is one of the best parts of urban travel, if you ask me – seeing how global fashion trends get filtered through regional style, or what unique kinds of sartorial crazy the locals have dreamt up.

Not the real kind, the kind that come and spend their dollars in Rio and Buzios, but rather the new slasher movie about a group of hot-but-dumb Yanks who get carved up by organ harvesters on a trip to the Amazon.
