Stepping Up to Post Appropriately
[QUOTE=Axel Heyst;2723890]Spidy, I am not telling you not to post your thoughts and opinions on Brazilian politics, police brutality, ect ect, but I do agree with the OP that political discussions belong in a separate thread like the stupid shit in RJ thread or better yet, a new thread that you might want to create and call "Brazilian Politics". As with all ISG Reports threads the goal should be to keep things as on topic as possible otherwise the thread can get loaded down with a whole lot of wordy, irrelevant posts which makes it harder for BM's to search back through the forum and find the merit reports and posts on girls, bars, bordellos, prices and experiences both good and bad. This is the main reason there is a separate thread for RJ Hotels.
Of course, this is just a suggestion. Do what you like.[/QUOTE]
Much respect dude! At least you had the decency and man enough to step-up and suggest considering something different, rather than running to the Admin, like a little "b.........". So kudos and give you credit where credit is due.
That said, truth is, I expected this was coming and prepared the following:
So it appears "someone", more than likely, complained to the Admin and had some of the reports on Brazilian police brutality, racist killings and discriminatory behavior moved to the [b]General Info[/b] thread. IMHO, it may have been more appropriate to have had Admin, move it to the [b]Crime & Safety[/b], but I digress.
To be fair now, about a month or ago (more or less), there were pages on pages of reports about buying property in Rio (real estate is gonna do this or that, don't buy this, do this/don't do that, why'd ya wanna go and buy in Brazil...etc). Then came the investment reports (my money/my time is doing this/that and the other thing, markets are doing this and that, going up, going down...etc), all the while, nary (okay hardly) a pussy report to be found.
Back then, I bit my tongue (and just let it pass), even though there were more appropriate threads like "General Info" or "Living in Brazil" for these sort of reports, BMs still continued to post in the "Rio de Janeiro" thread, just because it gets [b]"the most eyeballs"[/b], [i]as someone put it[/i]. And who can forget the shit-storm surround the visiting French/Paulistan woman and her cell phone/personal attack/robbery gone bad. Yet nary a report to Admin!
Those pages and pages of property and investment reports (valued nonetheless, but just not pussy related), went on and on and was far worst than the one or two page of reported news about Brazilian police brutality (not opinions) , you now see here. Senior BMs as well as newbies, were both guilty of said offense.
Hey, I get it, we've all done it. Here's to a round of mea culpas!
Some of us in the past, have taken to posting a quick and brief report in the "Rio de Janeiro" thread with the link to the report in lesser frequented threads, like "Rio de Janeiro - Hotels &
Apartments" (as you've aptly noted), asking those interested to take a look see. But alas, this method often falls on deaf-ears and then BMs are once again back to being lazy and succumb to the "low hanging fruit" of posting non-pussy information in the RJ and SP threads, wanting "the most eyeballs".
Personally, I hope others including myself, take the initiative and report to the Admin, other "non-pussy" or "off-pussy" reports when they see it and have them moved to their respective threads, [b]when they feel other reports, don't quite measure up to finding pussy,[/b] in the predominately more frequented forums like RJ or SP threads.
[b]It's a slippery slope [/b] for the Admin (and perhaps a lots more work), but believe it or not [b]I'm encouraged by this move.[/b] Hopefully, this will urge BMs to report/post in the appropriate threads and not just lazily post to the RJ and SP threads, simply to garner "the most eyeballs".
Naturally, I suggest, stepping up and making the suggestion or consideration to the other BMs (as Axel has done) before running to the Admin.
Vagabundo is scaring the living shit out of noobs, LOL

A shame that some newbies are getting turned away from the splendors of Brazil because like everywhere else in this world: CRIME EXISTS.[/QUOTE]People who haven't read this really great post should have their travel-to-Brazil license confiscated.
No, I won't say that Rio is as dangerous as any other big city. That's bullshit. Rio is more dangerous.
But none of us would be coming back year after year if it was as dangerous as some people feel.
Crime in Brazil. Is it really that bad?

Vagabundo reports the facts. A ISG friend did use a stun gun to defend himself a month ago. The above youtuber is good.

Best websites to find long-term rentals
My plan is to move to Rio and May or June of next year. To be honest I'm working at Thailand also but I absolutely love the beaches of Rio and the all over vibe of the city. In Thailand for $1000 a month I can find an 80 m² apartment modern with nice furniture facing the ocean. And a few websites I found for Rio I really can't find much for $1000 it looks like a 50 year-old apartment that's never been remodeled and furniture that's almost as old. If I'm looking in the Copacabana and surrounding areas what's a realistic budget for a decent apartment? Are there any websites and if you can suggest? I'll be going on a student visa so I get everything lined up so I have the Proper documentation to rent.
On a sidenote on the topic of safety since it was brought up I must've had beginners luck because I was stupid and walked around centro late at night on my own and never had any trouble but I'll just chalk that up to beginners luck. I'm American but I could definitely pass his Brazilian so I don't think I stick out like a gringo. And on both trips I would walk around Copacabana and Ipanema very late at night a total of almost 6 weeks combined and never once had an issue.

Vagabundo woke up after a sleepless night with homegirl. We fucked in the morning, and it was good. Made an omelette then headed down to pool with a ISG buddy in town. My fellow ISGer concluded that getting a bus pass is worth it. Here is the link:

When you reserve, you should tell your landlord (administrator) you want a pass. The landlord has to do some authorization. Then that gets passed to another office at av gastao senges 185/ loja 130, and then they give you a pass. Saving 100 reais a day -- uber to and fro -- is 40 minutes in a prive, and worth it.
At the pool, we met some german girls, wish us luck, maybe we take them to olegario maciel 7, and maybe to vitorino.
Then Vagabundo came back upstairs, and homegirl was in the mood, so we fucked again, this time to Jada Fire and Rita Faltoyano with Steve Holmes and 2 other studs, kind of a eastern European meets LA porn negra vibe. We had another great fuck. Homegirl informed Vagabundo that she like blondes, so Rita being at least somewhat brunette was picked because Annette Schwartz and Jada Fire's superb scenes together had all been watched! Again, for you rich world Puritan Pussy PatroBitches, go get fisted at the closest weed dispensary, thanks very much! And, referencing another post by the always genius Ojeito on another thread where he referenced inflation, Vagabundo suggests looking at inflation protected government bonds, because gentlemen and rio negras prefer bonds and blonds.
Wish we ISGers luck in turning the german girls at the pool into our little aryan harem!
