In 4x4 3 times last 2 weeks. On Friday. 1/27, they went clothed. Now the dresses don't cover a lot, but more than previous. Girls don't like it for the most part, because dresses are more expensive...

Have to agree. Each consulate operates differently. My comments were for Chicago, I should have specified. So depending on where you live, which consulate you have to use, the best practice will be...

I'm only going to suggest answers to this question, I'll let others take your other topics.

Before using a VISA service, check out the Brasil Consulate website for info. I have had 3 VISAs from...

There was some heavy equipment working on foundation about 4 weeks ago. Looks like it was the first construction, separate from the demolition of 3 years ago.

As for a replacement, I don't think...

They all take credit cards. But most US banks hit you with a foreign exchange currency fee that makes them not the best deal. Can be a flat fee plus up to 3% surcharge.

Carry reasonable amounts of...

My 15th visit, some Port. A week to relax and explore. Feel free to drop a note if you like to meet up for a drink or local travel.

Actually, you guys are half right. The girls at most Termas start at staggered shifts. So at Luomo, some girls start at 3-4 and work until midnight. Others start at 6 and work until 2 a. M....

I guess the only difference is that, if I was going to tear down a building paying rent voluntarily, versus having a terrorist fly planes into it, I wouldn't tear it down and give up a year of...

If there was any doubt about the social / political agenda in closing help, the following picture says it all. Help was closed in January of 2010. The protection wall was up in the same month. By...

I hope it is okay to post this. If not, if Jackson doesn't delete, if other senior members tell me, I'll delete it. I have two of the above, Luminix FP2 Cameras, brand new, in their boxes, with...

Do not go to the consulate first. You have to go online to the Brazilian Consulate website and fill out the application on line. You print it out after completion and send it in (or drop it off)...

I have also done this at 2 or 3 internet cafes. All they charge you is the cost of the CD, around R$5, last year. Just make sure that they delete the pictures out of the temporary buffer in the...

Okay, here's how it works:

If you make your reservation and schedule the stopover in SAO at the time of reservation, it normally won't cost any more than just going to Rio. Most international...

There is always a difference between the currency exchange rates and the street rate. I believe 2 factors, 1) The quoted rates on the exchanges reflect large currency exchanges, 10,000 or more...

I've seen mistakes on virtually every bill. But I am convinced it is not thievery, it is just poor record keeping. There is a reason that the waiters and bartenders are not allowed to keep the...

I was quoted 1.77 or 1.78 to the USD at multiple places, but everywhere would give 1.80 for exchanges of at least $300 if I asked. Not a big savings, but why not!

Just a couple of observations:

Meia Pattaca: Empty most of yesterday. I haven't eaten there for years, but I always rent an apartment near by. At 2 p.m., (14:00) there was not one customer...

I know that today is a religious holiday in Rio de Janeiro. More important, does that mean 4x4 is closed today! Appreciate an answer if anyone local knows.

Pretty standard everywhere the last couple of days. Loumo will pay R$1.80 if you pay your bill in dollars. They will not exchange dollars outside of your bill, but will give change back in reais. ...

I tried a search, couldn't find, but I thought this was posted before....so if anyone could point me to the post or give directions, much appreciated.

By using the metro and then bus, how would I...

I'm guessing this site has been posted before, but even if it was, I thought it was worth listing/repeating: www.easyportuguese.com.

Mostly phrases but some grammer also. And some sections have...

I believe that you have to lessen the level of security protection in your computer. Mine is set up so that I get a warning, but then can decide to go forward and still visit the site. So I got a...

Just did this last week. The current fee for a US Passport needing a tourist visa is $130.00 It is based upon the price that Brazilians have to pay for a visa to the U.S. It is broken down as a...

I have been to Rio about a dozen times. But I have never used the metro. So, having read how to get from Copa to near 4x4, I am ready to try it. But, anyone have any advice about the return, noting...

The 6 mos requirement is as to your passport. You passport must have at least 6 mos remaining to be issued a Visa. And many countries, not sure about Brazil, require that you have a passport good for...
