The economy sucks, crime is getting worse, the real sucks (great for foreign investors), interest rates are going through the roof. What is holding property values up? Foreign buyers and the...

Grandpas need bjs too. And the real does not buy what is used to. Plus, a film and a beer is bonus! What a great country.

Enjoy the north.

Thanks for the updates.

Enjoy the 4 to 1 rates, makes things very enjoyable. Correction. Carrioca da Gema. It is a great small club with live music. In Centro.

Cheers.

Yes, It was a crazy, sleazy place then. I am not sure if it is open. But maybe somebody could drop in and go to the second floor for 2 real gamble. It is probably gone now, like most things on Ave...

Thanks for the info. I will use both T mobile and the google fi and see how it shakes out.

Obrigado.

The t mbl rate for cell to cell (20 cents) , both phones non wifi is good, and handy if no wifi available, that is a benefit of the service, and could be worth the monthly fee just for that feature....

What is the best rate from your mobile, on wifi connection, to a honey, say on the bus? 20 cents or less a minute? Does T mbl have a plan for less than 20 cents, non wifi.

Skype would be 5-6...

If you are not on T mobile already, what is the minimum to use for month, or just to use few days even? Is it a $50 minimum for the service with international data, etc.

Thanks.
