Equivalent of BRL 10.000 without declaring, more if you declare the money you bring in.

For years or until the novelty wears off or the exchange rate turns bad or the dollar crashes. In the meantime, as the Brazilians say: Live your life.

My good senor, I'm glad we can agree on something again, like fucking Elisa Sanchez 3 holes (before they required surgical repair haha).

The bard once said:

Lend less than thou lowest.

Speak less. Than thou knowest.

Stay away from thy drink and thy hoar.

If you change like 4000 euro you'll earn 800 reais just by crossing the street. It can be even better at Casa Behar or PMTurismo on Av Rio Branco.

I never had done any business with Bobby, but he seems like a friendly fellow. I guess almost all his clients are from the US.

And who really needs to go to him to wash some clothes? Times have changed. His business model is screwed. Got to admire him for hanging on for so long.

Remember when the Copa internet cafes would have hot garotas sending all their foreign namorados emails. "I love you. I miss you."

Strike up a conversation and you have your afternoon action lined up. LOL.

Bobby's not competitive, but he's developed certain following over the years, and he's generous with his time and advice. You come over, he remembers you, there is always a smile, and if you need to translate anything or call somebody, he's there to help. I tried to book a couple of tours from him, but he just slaps a handsome markup on local tours you can buy elsewhere, so I stopped. Exchanging cash, on the other hand, I don't really care if I lose a dollar or two. Same with laundry if I'm staying close to his shop.

If your get the right VRBO or Airbnb or other lodging, it will have a washer&dryer to wash clothes.

Teaching provides trustworthy locals primarily, which is priceless -- the balance that phallus maximus wrote about.

Rental income, legal fees, and the exchange rate are what make me comfortably rich in Brazil but not in the rich world.

What's up fellas.

I am going to Rio for the first time in January and I am looking for a guest friendly Airbnb. Any help would be appreciated.
