Rio de Janeiro Reports

Covid 19 has had me thinking of giving up p4p until a vaccine is found, if the Real goes down another 20% and Brazil opens up that will seriously test my resolve.

Vaccine won't be coming before next year. It takes months of tests on experiement vaccines before making available for public use.

Brasil prices apart from terma's seem to be really good, better than Germany or Thailand right now. I'll be keeping my eyes open as I will be out of work in June and will be looking for some fun before I rejoin the grind.

[Turgid]

On Reuters articles, BR economy minister said that BR economy will recover next year. Investment back said Real can go down another 20% with the economic outlook.

There are 24 of these ocean front suites, I know some here didn't like the reviews on Trip but this hotel satisfies the needs. The basic rooms are too small and the hotel does need some paint and repairs but the best rooms in the house they take care of and are in pretty good shape and worth the less than 200 dollars a day, the balcony is huge and where I have my best fun. Oh and I met the model at Dolce Vita 300 reais, security wouldnt let me bring her friend in so I had to send her back, too bad, I took a chance because security is not always there but they were that night. One girl never a problem, I have had 2 before in this hotel because security is not that tight.

You have good taste: In women and locations.

I knew that room looked familiar! I stayed there in 2017 probably was the exact same room if not on a different floor.

Great location.

That might be so in the short-run. Generally though, currencies don't go one way forever.

If someone was considering buying Brazilian real estate, I would watch closely what happens with local real estate prices and watch the price in their home currency. There might be some great deals for foreign investors this year.

I must preface this by saying I do not know the Brazilian laws for foreign real state investment.

Who cares about investing! At 5 reals to the dollar rather than 4, the best girls in the world just became an even better bargain. Gives me the extra $$ I need to buy a full suit of PPE for when I meet them! LOL.

Thinking that's a bad idea. The real is headed one way.

I hope you're right versus the so-called experts, at least some of them anyway, who hold the position that the dollar could be in real trouble. As for me, I don't care about how most other countries come through actually. I only care about the ones that I would want to travel to (that would be Brazil and Germany) and how the dollar holds up against the real and the euro.

...Thinking of buying currency now for a future trip. Thanks in advance.

Anybody on the ground that can let us know what exchange rates are at atms or exchange brick and mortar places? Xe.com has 5. 2 reals to the dollar, but I know real exchange rates can vary from that. I found a place that does exchage at 4. 6 reals to the dollar. Thinking of buying currency now for a future trip. Thanks in advance.

I met this girl at mabs recently, great skills, I even complimented her on them in a swing club one night, she responded I'm a professional, LOL yeah right!

... dollar holds up against the real...

I'm going to guess that the BRL is in trouble.
