Thanks man, that gave me a good laugh.

George03 and Nite_Runner.

Thank you! All the listings I saw in AirBNB for Condos Dominicanos were explicitly saying no guests.

The one I saw in Garden Condos for my dates was very nice but I...

Thank you, that is not rude at all and a great suggestion. I will speak to the hotel after checking in and I am planning to check out a few cabanas in the course of action and possibly dump my...

Please can you help me out in deciding which hotel in / near the strip to book? What I need:

1. Less noise or reasonably quiet to be able to sleep in the afternoon or by 10 PM.

2. Good...

My very first session in 4 x4 (and in Brazil) was what was (is?) known as the Rio Tourist Fuck. My fault for not reading Bwana Dik's guide thoroughly and shooting my mouth off in the 'interview'. In...

On the language part, try to get Pimsleur Portuguese (Brazilian) 1-3.

You can buy it or you can find it on the high seas. This immensely helped me out on my very first trip. It literally starts...

I sent this BM a PM in December but I haven't heard back as well.

I will post here if I find anything.

I have actually seen this (garottas doing the emailing / chatting thing) in action when I went there. I generally changed money elsewhere (for example, another cambio on the same street) and never...

There are a few mentions in the Rio Hotels & Apartments thread (Pestana being mentioned recently). When I started going to Rio, I had used Amerioca and had no problems but Don had closed shop more...

I have used the ones near diagonally opposite to Bip Bip on Rua Almirante Goncalves a couple of times. They seemed old and experienced and gave a good cut but I thought they were a bit classist /...

If that is the bow-legged GP with the fetching smile, I might have to make a trip after 10 years. She was always occupied or showed up after I took up one of my regulars.

The last time, a fellow...

I think the pots-pans thing is called a panela(c-cedilha)ao and seems to be a south american way of protest. Cacerolazo in Spanish. Girls are good, have to figure out a an apartment contact for...

Thanks for confirming that. As for the aunties, there are quite a few in that area but the problem with Chennai is that it is very hard to know who is available unless you have good contacts. I tried...

This is something I noticed on the way to my hotel at around 2 AM, so more like a MSA (Monger Service Announcement). I was going from the airport and was sleepy but saw a group of three in colourful...

sigh. Yet another example of Brazilian business acumen? I hope the apartment owners aren't going to go that Crazy

what you read below is the description of what goes on in cine iris. i have been there twice in 3 years, once out of curiosity and once to bust time after finding nothing of interest in ba85. first...

use a brazilian proxy server to access gpguia, you can get a list from hidemyass, filter by country first and choose one that has good connection time and has been checked recently. be prepared for...

Bobby is a great guy. He told me his is a family business now, what with kids and all. You might get good deals on apartment rentals if you drop into his office. There was an owner of an apartment...

Here's what I do : Keep the phone in the locker and go pick a girl. Once I find some one I like, I tell her to wait while I go get my own condoms. I also pick up the phone and put in the pockets...

Here is how it goes : Once you change into your robe (wrong size if it is really busy that day and you are late) , you keep it around until you leave. When you go to the sauna / showers, you hang it...

Be very wary when giving out your proof of I'd online / over post (such as your passport) , this might not be the end of it if your I'd has been stolen as well.

Let me put it this way : A Copa apartment owned by a person with a dutch surname and asking for a wire transfer of outstanding balance to London with bad english? Asking you to pay up in full before...

Looks like they have an IP filter, it works if you a brazilian proxy, you can get a decent one using hidemyass proxy lists.

What they are doing isn't nice, etiquette demands that at least a...

40 mins : R$240.

60 mins : R$260.

Super Suite : R$320.

King Suite :...
