The thing about Rio is to learn where the coast takes turns. I used to live in a neighborhood where the sea faced east; now I live in another area where the sea faces south. I used to get confused!

Even if you don't have the sea in visible distance, many major urban roads are roughly parallel, strong sudden winds come from the sea, etc.
