Hi, I spent five horrible days at Mirasol Hotel, Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. A bar almost in front played everynight loud recorded music till 4 AM. According to some local friends, it has happened for two years. Last wednesday, some 100 supporters of a soccer team screamed while watching a game on a big screen placed by the bar“s owners till 1 AM. The police was called. Nothing was done.
