sauna imperial still active?
I will be in Curitiba for a couple of days in early September and would like any recommendations.
I searched for Sauna Imperial on the web and found a Brazilian news site that indicated that this place had been closed due to prostitution - imagine that!
Is that actually so? What other places are recommended? I was at Cristal in Foz de Iguacu and thought it was a total ripoff, but maybe Cristal in Curitiba is OK.
Thanks for your help
Stay Away From Curitiba At All Costs
Hey,
I was in Curitiba for 2 months starting in late December. All I can say is, this city sucks. I was there training at a world famous vale tudo academy. That was probably the only thing that kept me sane. The city is full of fags and lesbians. The women, even in the sex clubs were stuck up, and constantly nag you for drinks. Now, I'm 21 years old, and pretty good looking. If you're expecting a GFE or anything even close, stay away from Curitiba and stay in Rio. This isnt one of those fake posts to keep people out, either. This trip would have turned me off of Brazil as a whole, but my return to SP reminded me just how warm Brazilians can be. I repeat. I repeat. Stay the fuck out of Curitiba. It sucks. As a culture, the people of Curitiba are known to be the coldest and most close-minded out of all of Brazil. My next trip to the South of Brazil will exclude Curitiba entirely and I'll focus on Porto Alegre. BTW. I've been to Rio AND Sao Paulo as well, and Curitiba is the only city where I was robbed on the street. People say that Curitiba has the best quality of life in Brazil, but that is probably a measure of the equity. There is a large middle class, but this middle class is way below the standard of America, or even Rio or SP for that matter. Curitiba is all back-country bullshit. Any questions, PM me. I'll be glad to answer them to make sure nobody makes the same mistake I did.
PS. Although Porto Alegre is also in the south, theyre known to be very hospitable people, and the only cool girls I met in Curitiba were from Porto Alegre.
