Living in Brazil

[Oily1234]

Let me stop you right there.

Have you been to Brazil?

No large city in Brazil is like "safe" safe. Or not in Brazil. I just walked 3 blocks to my car from my mom's place (Brooklyn) around 1 AM. I felt completely safe until two guys that didn't looked entirely wholesome jumpily walked straight at me from around the corner. They turned out to be completely harmless, and went on their way, but I had an uncomfortable moment.

Cheapish. That's in the eye of beholder.

Big cities tend to be more expensive, but provide enormous GDP access. That's where their customers are.

Coastal cities and towns tend to be more expensive than the the interior.

I don't know what your interests are. If you're only interested in GDPs with a gorgeous beachline thrown in for good measure -- definitely Rio. You just can't get bored in Rio for if you do, something is really, really wrong with you.

If you're after travel, culture, sightseeing, beaches I wouldn't stay in Rio for 2 months 'cause there're so much to see in Brazil.

Off the back of my head, I'd pick these.

- Rio and vicinity (Buzios, Angra Dos Reis, Ilha Grande, Parati).

- SP (still relatively cheap if you don't hunt at Scandalo and the likes).

- Iguassu Falls (has the GDP scene and reasonably cheap for the incredible wonder of the world).

- Salvador (honestly, the next most fascinating city in Brazil I've been to after Rio).

- Blumenau: this is an outlier, but it has the biggest Oktoberfest outside of Munich. It's a cute city with a European flair, and if you're good-looking civilian girls are very friendly there. And. There was a sizeable P4 P community, too.

- Manaus for access to the Amazon, although I didn't care for the city itself.

Bonus: should you decide to visit Blumenau, there is a small costal city of Camboriu. The locals call it a little Copacabana for their crescent beachline, and it's complete with a Christ statue called Cristo Luz. There weren't too many P4 P options when I visited many many years ago, but now there're always Fatal Models, Photo Acompanhantes and more.

NB: None of these cities except Camboriu is safe. Maybe Blumenau is safER. So keep your wits around you and don't make yourself a target.

Good luck!

Keep in mind south of Brazil will be cooler weather.

Oily.

I am planning to go to Brazil for 2 months (I am 40+) any tips for which city and area to stay in? Can be in one place for 2 months or move cities to experience different parts of Brazil. Here would be the main criteria:

* safe.

* cheapish.

I am planning to go to Brazil for 2 months (I am 40+) any tips for which city and area to stay in? ... Here would be the main criteria: ...

Outside of Rio, Fortaleza would be a strong consideration. It does not have the "good P4P" options as Rio, but perhaps it's slightly better on the "meeting non-p4p women" option and covers all the other options fairly well.

It's a good city from which to form a "home-base" and take 1-3 day excursions to other neighboring NE cites/states, such as Natal, Recife, Sao Luis, Joao Pesso or Maceio. Or just explore more of Ceara, Canoa Quebrada and Jerioacoara.

If you don't mind the hustle and bustle of a larger city/state, then the same day excursions and places of interest, also exist around Rio/RJ State.

I would consider Fortaleza, a less expensive option to Rio, with less "big city" hassles, but with far less P4P options.

... Can be in one place for 2 months or move cities to experience different parts of Brazil ...

The Northeastern Brazilian states are pretty chill and ideally situated for this kind of movement, IMHO, all with beaches and modicum of P4P and non-P4P action, to keep you interested, providing you're not looking for the PSE action in every hookup.

Something to Consider:

Since these threads are often overlooked, should you still require more input on the subject, consider posting a brief post in the RJ, SP or General Info threads, saying something to the effect "Planning a 2-month trip, where to stay...Living in Brazil, anyone with info on the subject...etc"

It's a nice touch to include the link to your post, to make it easier for those wanting to reply here, in the appropriate thread.

I am planning to go to Brazil for 2 months (I am 40+) any tips for which city and area to stay in? Can be in one place for 2 months or move cities to experience different parts of Brazil. Here would be the main criteria:

* beach (but would consider SP if it has everything else).

* safe.

* possibility of meeting non-p4 p women. This is most important.

* cheapish.

* good P4P options (incl sauna, tantric massage).

* interesting things to do (learn to dance, gym, bars and clubs).

* accommodation options (E. G nice Airbnb).

I am learning Portuguese now. Have 6 weeks before I leave.

The UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak MP is an Indian married to a billionaire Akshata Murthy. Just like Obama, it's not skin, it's all about role models and social connections at school that largely defines a persons trajectory. This comes down to a critical mass of $. I've never encountered a company saying "Nah, let's not hire this super bright energetic person because his basal layer has the wrong type of melanocytes". Rather, it's because of institutionalized fuckage of poverty, black and white and asian more or less equally screwed over and women carry a separate handicap. Fetal alcohol syndrome and many other things rig the game. I'll hire anyone with talent, black, white, man, woman or even a future AI robot. The mind is what counts. A red toyota does the same function as a white toyota. Sadly, a huge amount of human potential is wasted by this and other bullshit.

Obama was a total sell out, the same greedy toady as any white guy but with great marketing and exploiting guilt and hope. Pretty funny actually, because he deported more colored people than any president. Having black skin or a pussy does not create compassion or serious zeal to reform, possibly biases the opposite as they over compensate to "prove" themselves. Hillary was also a massive, corrupt, deceitful sell out that people saw saw through. Elizabeth Warren I liked (even though what she proposes is against my financial interests) but she is a fact driven fiscal conservative and knows too much money is being left on the table for corporate welfare queens and leeches.

All the woke BS is a smoke-screen, with big companies playing up race and sexual discrimination but ignoring their equal opportunity economic exploitation in a rigged tax system where w2 loses and capital gains tax is optional and tenants have no rights except on paper. Brazil is much more chilled about race but has the same post slavery barriers. Plenty of caucasion beggars in BR and USA than I see in Mexicans and Asians which is a clue of disproportionate white trash sinking to the bottom. Jokes aside, lets talk about economic opportunity of labour and taxing labor and capital equally like in much of Asia and Europe.

I quite like black women; I often do duos, red head with freckles and a black girl equally having their legs high and over their shoulders while I cram their pussies full of cock. I pick a matching beige set of thigh highs, though with a single black girl I like frilly, revealing creamy lingerie and lipstick, even if it gets on my cock. Usually when I explode tadpoles in their tonsils that clears it up. I do my best to fuck them silly equally.

Racism is a little different in Latin America, but it still exists. Just a different variety of it. Brazil has perhaps the most racially mixed population on Earth.

But how many dark skinned politicians, businessmen / women do you see? How many Brasilian models are dark skinned? It's just a different sort of racism. One class based, and because of that, much harder to "crack".

Obama really didn't do much for the Black population in the US other than to make them feel better maybe.

Putting people of color in power, the same with putting women in power often means they have to follow the same unwritten rules of the upper classes.

That usually means you can't do too much for the poor because as most believe especially in Western Culture that poverty is self-inflicted not solely the result of discrimination or racism.

Tough to address because targeted polices are shot down by advocates of other people, meaning you have to design polices that raise all boats. But when you are starting from a position of having zero legacy wealth or assets polices such as those don't get to the root of the problem.

It will take a politician likely long after most of us are long gone to address some of these things directly so society is on a more of a equal footing. There still will be class discrimination by bloodlines.

So how do I know that most Brazilians do not speak English other than living among them for extended periods of time over many years?

Not long ago I attended a technical conference in São Paulo with the expressed purpose of hiring English speaking Brazilians. I found one who spoke English at a proficient enough level and he did so only because he had lived for years in the US. The others spoke basic English at best. This conference was well attended and brought together people from all over Brazil. Hotels is where you will find the best English speakers and often they get paid well. In Rio, I know a doctor who works front desk at a major hotel. He said he makes more there than he did practicing medicine.

Someone brought up on another thread how Brazilian girls remember names. I am exceptional at remembering names but no where close to your average Brazilian whether in Brazil or anywhere else. The only thing that I can attribute it to is the high importance that is placed on remembering someone's name in the Brazilian culture. Almost every Brazilian I have met will use my name when we part. Just like the poster, will not have seen someone in years and they still remember my name. If anyone else has an explanation of how and why, I am all ears.

One of things that used to bother me about Brazil was the obvious lack of opportunities for people of color. You go to the mall and all the clerks were white. Same could be said about waiters and most better restaurants. Fortunately, that changed about 10 years ago. I talked with a number of Brazilians and no one could tell me why until one suggested it was because of Obama. I find this hypothesis fascinating. There had been no protests, no legal challenges of which I am aware, yet all you had to do was take a trip to the mall to see the difference. Brazil often looks to the US and the thought is if those racists can elect a black president we can at least hire a black waiter or two. I also noted that some of my Brazilian friends of color became extremely interested in their children's education and would ask me to go with them on private and English school visits. Order and Progress.

There is a obvious reason that the blacks do have the lack of opportunities. It is starting from their home and playground. Why does anyone care about what is the skin color of the clerk or waiter? Level of the service is what matters. The cost of the private school education is not achievable to most of the blacks, cannot blame whites about that. Order and Progress is a joke in their flag, hopefully it will happen after next five years when nr. 17 wins. For that, at least 100000 hard core criminals must be eliminated permanently, otherwise there would be no success.

It is not white Brazilians fault that they do have a better education, only Mickeystan universities have a minority quote, therefore eliminating wiser and more capable persons to qualify, lowering the quality of education. Slavery was ended in 19th century, also in Europe but why nobody mention about it? Because there where no black slaves in Europe, only white ones. How many centuries more a whites must make privilege to low educated blacks to compensate the slavery? Despite that their own people catch them and traded. Most criminals (probably 90%) in Brazil are non whites. Make a conclusion. Poor blacks parents give the birth to children, not thinking how to educate them, leaving them in the streets while they are working and you see the results. Why the public school level is the lowest? Because ghetto (favela) kids have a zero interest to study and there is a huge safe issue for teachers who avoid those kind of places. White people have more education, better business orientation and better look (models). If you do not get it, look into the world map and divide North and South. White are North, blacks are South. Money is always in the North (except in North Korea). It is not a racism, it is what goes around comes around.

Well I only lived there for two months but it was great. I am white but got rather brown by the time I left so much so that most Brasileros spoke Portuguese to me. In my experience it is a color blind country meaning your skin color / ethnicity is of no importance. Mixed couples of every variety can be seen holding hands in public and enjoying each other. San Paolo BTW has a large population of Asians. Racism is rampant in many parts of the world including US but I personally did not see any in Brasil. Quite the opposite. Cheers.

I look mostly East Asian.

According to some people, I look 3/4 Chinese and 1/4 indigenous Mexican, though I think they're just generalizing and there isn't really a fixed look for all Mexican or Chinese people.

I have lived in and visited many countries, mostly English-speaking or German-speaking countries.

People always say something like the USA, Canada, the U. K, Australia, etc are melting pots.

I really don't think so. Despite speaking English like a native speaker (I even adjusted my accent based on different regions I went to), I was always seen as a strange foreigner. And, yes, I got called out a lot even in this day and age.

I heard that the real melting pot in this world is in fact Brazil, with nearly 50% of the population are multi-ethnic and mixed-raced.

There is no way to tell a Brazilian by looks. So, the Brazilians will just think of you as one of them, instead of assuming you're a foreigner.

Is it true? Is Brazil a friendlier place to live in?

I agree 100% with Kcrl02's Lmao! post in RJ forum. Too many gringos over-valuating their money and their look (clothing included) among Brasileiras. Either you have a charm or not, money might add something to that or make the things worse. During a few partly living years here, I have obtained a minimum Brazilian Portuguese conversation level without any study, just watching TV and practicing.
