Often the beach fixers (who bring you chairs and drinks) will introduce you to them.

The Sheraton has a free shuttle that will drop you anywhere along the beach and goes to the mall.

I've been wondering what "sem frescuras" means, since the apps only translate frescuras at frills. Seems like it means upcharges for extras.

The rule used to be: up to 90 days at one time, no more than 180 days in a 12-month period. This was the case for the prior paper visas in your passport--not sure about the new visas on arrival. I...

They got me a couple of times. They seem to have magical powers to stay invisible while flinging the shit on your shoes unseen. So I only wear flip-flops on Avenida Atlântica so they leave me alone....

I have the same question. When I can, I do a modified keto diet (meat + veggies) and am wondering if I can do this in carb-heavy Brazil. I've heard that açai has a lot of carbs too.

Sperto,

Someone posted this before, and I have been looking for it again. It's info on a retirement info from the SF Brazilian Consulate. I can't figure you why it's available in SF but not in NYC...

When I was there, they wanted you to pay in advance for a session, but you could decline. If you decided to session, then you had to pay before. I don't want to patronize a business that doesn't...

It's not available on Netflix US.

It used to drive me crazy that nobody has any change in this country. How can taxi drivers do business? With Uber, now it's a nonissue.

Shouldn't an economic decline result in higher-quality girls having to do sex work, as they can't get well-paid service jobs? I recall reading in the Argentina forum years ago that the writer was...

I looked online, but there seem to be a lot of romance-type novels by this name.

Centaurus, as compared to other thermas, makes you pay the entrance fee immediately when you enter. They ideally would also like you to prepay a session when you enter as well, but you can also pay...

Is that the show you mean? Unfortunately due to licenses for certain shows only being valid in certain countries, many shows are only regionally available on Netflix. There's a Brazilian crime show...

There is a Brazilian Portuguese textbook, Portugûes Básico Para Estrangeiros, that you can buy or find online if you're more academically minded. I used it in a class I took at the local college. It...

Vagabundo1,

You gave us elements #1-8 and #10. What was #9?

OEM.

What I want to know is, did you rent the apt. Through AirBnB, or from someone on the board, or is there just a rental office at the property?

Vagabundo, do you mind saying how you found this apartment? Rates at the hotel are about US $66 a night, or about US $2,000 per month. Did you have a connection, or did you find it on AirBnB? I...

HSBC sold its Brazil business to Bradesco. Last December, I used the Bradesco ATM and I believe I got a reduced fee. HSBC is saying it wants to come back to Brazil now. Just don't go to Santander:...

I just came back from a week in Rio. This time, I stayed in Copa and had a mix of civilians and pros. Didn't even make it to Centro.

Hotel: Pestana Atlantica. Honestly, this wasn't my first...

My ATM card got cloned in São Paulo in a bank of ATMs at the Morumbi Shopping mall. It was a row of bank ATMs inside the mall, however there was no bank nearby. Fortunately, I didn't have much money...

The first couple times I went to Rio, I went there, and yes, the girls were attractive, but the services was mixed. I even got CBJs there. The problem I have is with their mercenary attitude. Having...

It sounds like your only beef with Sayuri was on price. I saw her and thought she was great. When I was in Rio a couple of weeks ago, MC management said that she was "traveling," which I took as a...

Apologies for using economic language, but it's funny and appropriate here. I think some people here argued that prices would come down due to the closure of Help, but I would expect the opposite....

I attended l'Uomo's Christmas party on Wednesday. There were a couple of cuties, but it seemed like the heavy hitters had the night off. Fortunately, the girl that always glues herself to me was not...
