🇧🇷 Revisiting MJ’s Music Video Site | Brazil’s Forgotten Capital

🌎 UNESCO’s "Black Rome" • First capital of Brazil (1549-1763) & ground zero for the transatlantic slave trade. • Michael Jackson’s They Don’t Care About Us (1996) was filmed here—those cobblestone streets are iconic. 🎥✨ ⚡ Brutally Honest Tour 1️⃣ Getting There: Free elevator from Lower Town (Port) to Pelourinho (or $2.50 Uber—worth it in the heat!). 2️⃣ Gritty Beauty: Most buildings are crumbling (except one hipster café—$17 for coconut breakfast 🥥). Churches: Peeling gold leaf & sad restoration ($2 entry, 1hr max). 3️⃣ Local Warning: A kind tia told us: "Don’t wander side streets!" 🛒 Sam’s Club Detour (Why Not?) • Mini vs. USA: Smaller, chaotic, and my membership card failed (shoutout to the clerk who hacked the system for me!). • Uber MVP: $6 round-trip, 3-min waits. 📌 Final Verdict ✅ Cruise Stop? DIY with Uber—no tours needed. ☀️ Survival Tip: Hydrate like it’s your job. #Salvador #MJLegacy #WorldHeritage #RealBrazil
