On my last trip one of my favorite regulars was not able to meet up with me despite my repeated attempts. Turned out she had gotten married to one of the local young men. Sad to loose her, but plenty...

Sheraton Leblon is GF and a very decent hotel. It is however a 10-30 minute ride away from action in Ipanema and Copa.

One of my regular non-pros just landed a job and is very happy.

Cleaning job, 4 hours per day and 5 days a week = for 600 reals a month.

Good to keep in mind and as a reference when discussing...

Ingrid. Now there is a lady and an ass I will never forget. She was a star.

Not sure if there will...

Rio Roiss hotel?

I go every year during peak summer season in Rio. This year who knows. I will probably end up deciding kind of last minute to see how things evolve in Brazil as well as vaccines or treatment.

I always had mixed feelings about Barbarella but I am sad to see yet another place closed down for good.

Wonder what p2 p in Rio will be like in the future.

For large amounts I exchange far from Zona Sul.

Pretty much all tourists stay in Zona Sul so there is a large supply of dollars there. Go to non-tourist areas and the exchangers see hardly any...

I was taking a taxi from centro back to Ipanema and my date...

Best advice in a long time.
