The figures relating to murders in Brazil are staggering. Its a complicated country riddled with corruption, drugs, limited education (compared to Western countries) and associated violence. Favelas...

Hi gents,

Can you tell me of any girl friendly hotels in Barra de Tijuca, or any big two double bed air bnb that you know of. Also has anyone stayed there for a week and what's it like during the...

Thats exactly what I will be doing too and, advising everyone I meet about their thieving tactics. Jesus, all smiles and deceit.

Thanks, its just what I thought. Such a shame, this lot just can't stop being corrupt and dishonest. They always blame the government for being corrupt, but it starts a lot lower down than the...

Cool, now I know its the place of false smiles. I will go in there and spend sod all, screw them!

They stood firm on the red bulls. The till was chaos with a women security person (am not sure if its a man or women). Running around with a handful of till receipts, swapping them over to match how...

Hi Gents.

Been to the above club 40 times with no bad experiences at all. In fact have to say its a pleasure to go there. Two nights ago a couple of strange things happened. Checked the bill on...

Hi Gents,

How are you guys getting into Rio and along with travel insurance. Here in the UK the Government here has put Brazil on a list of countries we can only visit when conducting 'essential...

I was there two days ago and had the same shit from the doorman. I said forget it mate, what have you done for a tip?

This tipping bullshit is out of control. They see westerners as stupid and...

Thanks for that. Checked out Monte Carlo and it seems a good place, plenty of nice girls. Went to Mars, a few decent ones but some horrors as well. Having said that the place is cool, food okay and...

Hi gents,

Can you give me any up to date information of where the action is around Rua Sequaira Campos in Rio. Many thanks.

Hi gents.

Looking for your views on best place to stay in Rio. I have always stayed at the entrance to Ipenema or half way along Copocabana near siquera Campos.

I would like to give a new area...

I might be wrong but as long as he stays clean and doesn't go corrupt then he will be good for the country. Brazil had 67,000 murders last year, ten times more were shot but didn't die, ten times...

Air BnB is great. I found 90% didn't say you couldn't bring guests back and didn't need to register guests. I always email host and say my girlfriend will probably be staying and is this a problem. I...

Yes you are right and I am trying to learn everyday day. Growing up and living in a country where all you ever hear is English seems to make it so hard for us to learn a different language. I agree...

Apologies if this is the wrong section to ask in but I can't get an answer anywhere and thought someone might know the answer.

I use whatsap to speak to ladies in Brazil. I have to highlight text...

Airbnb is great as long as you check the house rules. I always make the booking and select two people as the number of guests. I also email host on Airbnb site and say I have various individual...

Well done for standing your ground. Be polite but firm. I totally agree, don't get mixed up in drugs, its a world of grief and not worth it. Don't pay upfront and make it absolutely clear before you...

I agree, still go. I am back home now and would leave again tomorrow and go straight back. I never got drunk there and always had my wits about me. Door to door taxis are cheap and safe. I had a...

I walked the entire stretch of Copacabana beach and Ipanema practically every day for exercise for the last 3 months. Only saw one street offence. Be careful in the day of people walking too close...

Every country has its ups and downs, it's good side and bad. I have travelled and worked for long periods in other countries. I just spent 8 weeks in America around California. I can't say that...

I feel sorry for the girls who come over to England on the back of a promise. There are a ton of blokes here who are potless, with no money, a pretty poxy job and no real mates. Not everyone but...

I was looking all the time. I wasn't under the influence of alcohol and it was broad daylight. I hardly saw any that did it for me. I didn't see a lot of muscle tone so I am not sure if they use the...

I have to agree re Argentinian women. I was in Buenos Aires a week ago and stayed for three days. I can honestly say I hardly saw a single lady that did it for me. Now here in Rio I regularly see...

6 reals Posto 5 today Copacabana.

5 reals posto 6 yesterday.

Top end of Ipanema near Leblon posto 9 7.50 reals yesterday.

I know because I walk that whole stretch very regularly.
