Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Xpartan]

Assume you test positive before you take your outbound flight back home, then you have to wait to travel until you get well. However, it seems like you can test positive for several months. How do you solve that? Do you need to get a medical certificate that shows that you have recovered and are OK to travel?

I tested negative last Monday in Rio, on the same day I traveled back home. On Friday I tested positive (totally asymptomatic). It made me wonder if I would have got stuck in Rio if I had tested positive earlier?

Yes, you would. Symptoms don't matter, the reason this virus is so dangerous is that it starts spreading before symptoms even appear (or even if they never do).

CDC doesn't recommend testing for virus after the recovery because the virus' remnants can linger for weeks and even months. Instead, it recommends getting a letter from a doctor who can give you greenlight to travel home.

If you have had a positive viral test on a sample taken during the past 90 days, and you have met the criteria to end isolation, you may travel instead with your positive viral test results and a signed letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official that states you have been cleared for travel. The positive test result and letter together are referred to as “documentation of recovery.

You'd need to check your country's specific requirements though.

So I paid 300 and had like 6 or 7 pops with Anne Amari.

Good girl.

Or as Shakespear said.

I do believe her, though I know she lies.

Parachuting in for a few weeks is one thing.

I had belladonna for two months. She stopped working. I was happy, but there was no end in sight to the expectations of me paying which I could do. I mean, she expected a laptop for Christmas which I never got her but she kept asking for even to the point I told her it was arriving this week, which she will never get now, on top of paying $2000 reais for Christmas gifts and food for like a family of 8, which was fun, and it's only $400 USD and I am making $100 k annually remotely from a stateside salary so it is nothing, but it was clear that it was always going to be more, like $30 k reais for a car, etc, etc..

Do you know the American Club of Rio that meets in the Marriot?

In recent years I have seen the super bowl in Mabs, the Marriott hotel bar and lord jims pub in Ipanema if it's still open.

[Rio Bob]

Just doing some prep work. Any suggestions where to watch in Zone Sul or Barra? It is Feb 13th. I have Airbnb off Rua Bolivar so know some bars around there wondered if there was anything 'better'?

For happy Men in Rio, do you have some fresh news about Mabs? I will be in Rio Saturday (if my covid test negatif on Thursday.).

Thanks for your feed back.

I had dinner there the other night. Tasty food, 250 reales for 2 people.

There were 2 ladies looking for customers, not too appealing.

Its a numbers game like anything.

I am on my 3 d or 4th samba school. Only on my 2nd did I start asking for numbers. Now I get some responses. The girls obviously go into the skin biz. One of the girls at TDM 33/2106 is a former passissista that Chocolatehuntr knew from before, as he has been doing this samba game for 5+ years. Without a doubt, the best girls are passissistas, and going to the events is fun for its own sake. Its like a high school or college football game with just the cheerleading.

And you can always go get a pro in Rio.

As you said Senhor Vagabundo, "But a samba school is not a terma or place of prostitution. That is the key." And you Senhor Vagabundo also have language and cultural skills that many here do not.

It's not so easy to pick up girls at samba school practices (parties). If you have some basic Portuguese from a couple weeks of Pimsleur, these girls aren't like termas girls who are paid to listen to your bad Porto and find you interesting. As in any non-pro environment, youth, looks and game all go a long way to the cause. Standard wingman strategy is also in play. Two guys approach two girls kind of thinking. Two guys approach eight girls more problematic.

These girls are there with their friends to have fun. Many times, they have family there. Many girls who might be open elsewhere will be guarded if a foreigner makes an approach.

Best bet for "tourists" who know a bit of Portuguese is to go have fun and go with the flow. If you look like you are there primarily to hire girls, you might be asked to leave. I remember the member here who got thrown out of the Rio mall because he thought he could just approach girls en masse and ask them to go out with him.

Mangueira and Salgueiro have good practices / parties. They can go on very late into the night. Don't waste your money having a hotel concierge or tourist agency book you a guide and tickets. The guide basically picks you up, buys your tickets, guides you into the building and tells you to meet him at a certain point at a certain time to leave. Hire an Uber and know exactly where to be dropped off. While the samba schools are in rough neighborhoods, for practice nights there will be crowds and a line of vendors selling all sorts of stuff outside the samba school building. It's also been said the drug lords finance the samba schools. They keep a lid on the local hoodlums. They aren't interested in anything happening to tourists who show up for the samba school. The inside of a samba school practice itself is a very safe environment. The people could not be nicer.

You can check each country's rules on https://www.traveldoc.aero/.

As an example this is the requirement for the Netherlands.

Hi All,

Landed in Rio today and just looking for a recently updated range of what to expect for entry and sessions at our usual favourite termas locations in Rio. If I missed a recent pepper during my research in the forum please just add the link in a reply. Obrigado.

[Vagabundo1]

How much did you pay her that week?

The girl from SP I took to rio was extremely jealous if I talked or had any girl in my phone. Not in a, I'll fuck up your shit type of way but like a GF type of way. She didn't talk or try to see other guys (she lost a lot of potential clients) while we were together so there was some mutual respect, so I didn't mind.

The carioca girls I met in January and even in September were really cool. I asked a few of them where to take this SP girl for good food and views and were really helpful and supportive.

They were from termas and boates (Centaraus, Monte Carlo and Casablanca) They were the type of girls that guys constantly flight out to europe or around Brazil so they knew the game and played along.

Some bonus from meeting top terma girls as they don't feel the need to be threatened or insecure since they have their own adventures unlike SW and cheaper girls that want to play games and might rob your stuff if you invite them over because they don't have anything better to do..

Then I am getting all the typical bullshit from dating a working girl. Oh guys will pay 1500 to be with me. Then I am like, fine, you will get zero from me, and go get the 1500.

Some of you may remember Thifany, the Brasileira I met at Fazendinha in Campinas and flew to London for a week. She was from Rio and a real free spirit party girl so you know she'the seen a lot at 23. I happened upon her Instagram a month later and she had posted extensive London stories about the best week of her life. Even after she got married shortly thereafter, here 3 years later she posted again about her London trip on her Facebook. Sure some of its just social media bragging but there's no doubt it's a big top of mind memory for her (and me!). So u are def making memories for the both of u! Have fun!

But it is all good. On pop 4 with Anne Amari for the pernoite.

Some other parts of bubba boy guide apply, which I like.

Got to get some of those passissistas into pernoite rotation.

If things go well I will be in rio for the beginning of carnival and leaving at the end with my SP Girl, Harley.

It seems excessive and I do have my reservations as any experienced hobbyist will know once boots are on the ground things have a funny way of changing plans.

I am not deluded into thinking she's not seeing other guys and the such but I do love her full attention and affection when we are together. As one poster stated, what men really want more than the just sex is affection. The sex is just the cherry on top.

As Vagabundo stated she does smoke cigs and weed daily and has no future prospect of going to college or doing any higher level professional work it seems which is a damn shame..

[Vagabundo1]

Yeah, I get that too. I was taking her to fancy places, expensive parts of the beach and it is all over her social media in contrast to the super poor areas she is from.

But as Bubba boy says, the release part is key. You don't want to really be in this position of being the one to pay for her whole poor family to eat and then get obviously manipulated. These people are really kind of terrible people, by which I mean her mother especially. There was no perfect way to cut it off, but cut it off I did, and am better for it. The service I get from Ana foxxx or from Anne Amari is already better without all the baggage. Once you get out of the sex tourist bubble, you see how these people really live and it is pretty pathetic.

But for now she's young, dumb and wants to have fun.

And I want to go to carnival week with a hot brazilian nympho and live out more fantasies.

I can't help her future but we can make great memories that she can look back on and smile on and that's more than most people will give you in this life.

One has to just know that you have to live in the moment. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn't real until you wake up with the sun. The only thing that exists is your moment in the present and if you're not in it, too busy thinking about what happened or what can happen, then you're not really living.

There is no happily ever after, only the morning after.

You can't wait for life to be prefect to start enjoying it.
