Rio de Janeiro Reports

[BlueChange]

I have the same ones pasted in the front and back covers of one of my Rio photo albums.

Pleasure Coins!!

Used to joke with my friends the coins were the 1-up. Felt like a different person after Help. SERIOUSLY WTF will we ever have something like that again?

4 X4 is 380 if you session before 6, MC is 600, Centaurus -- don't even want to know. I love termas, but I don't like ripoff. 4 X4 before 6 is the winner, IMHO. Even 12 days ago it was under $100, and today it's even "underer. ".

4 x 4.

370 reais one hour.

250 reais 30 minutes.

There is no entry fee every Monday, but you have to consume 60 reais if you don't session before 6 pm.

It's still possible not to pay entry fee if you session after 6 pm but you need to talk to the manager or owner's sons. For example you just have enough to pay for the session.

The article says MIS is going to open in 2019. According to brazilian newspapers it will open in 2020.

Considering the usual delays, and that money propably will disappear, I guess it will open in 2021.
It would be a nice touch if one of the rooms in the museum had walls covered with the same red and blue plastic "coins" that Help used to have ("coins" which I by chance happens to have about a hundred).

No wonder Rio De Janerio is going broke. They have been building that museum for almost a decade? It was suppose to be ready for the Games in 2016? Why does it take 12+ Years to build a museum?

Why did they put a museum? To replace Club Help? They lost Billions on many tourist that would frequent club help. From Airfare, Hotels, Resturants, etc. To the Women that will take the money they earn from Club Help and Trickle it down to there economy.

Its dumb is you ask me.

MC is 600 R? DAMN! The last time I was in there, the talent was lacking. I did see one mulatta that was cute but she absolutely refused to give me her number unless I took her to the room first. GTFOH! In addition, the girls were wearing dresses and street clothes instead of bikinis.

I haven't been to Rio since 09. I was a monthly visitor in the golden days back in the late 90's and early 20's and its fun looking through my old reports in the forum.

With $800 airfare from DC and the Real over 4 to 1 am thinking about a trip down memory lane. I know much has changed and have read the forum going back 12 pages. Can someone provide a price update for the Termas. Looks like 4 X4, Solarium, MC and Centaurus are still open.

I have a feeling that after the elections, the rate will plummet, that's why I want to exchange now before my December trip. None of my friends go to Brazil anymore so its not like I can hand them the money and have them bring the reais back to me. There has to be a way I can get reais without being fucked over on the rate!

I'm not an expert, but my experience is that USA Banks screw you over on currency transactions especially second world / third world currencies. I would look for a Brazilian bank with a branch in the USA Banco do Brasil is in New York and Miami. My guess is that they might only help net worth accounts and not people off the street. You could ask people at the nearest Brazilian consulate.

Major fund management companies have foreign currency money market accounts. I'm not sure I have seen them for Brazil.

Take a look in the Real vs dollar thread, some articles about the subject are predicting 4. 5 to 5 and then crash. I wouldn't know where to get a good rate in the USA, I checked BOA and they give a bad rate too but at 5 it might not be so bad if you get it at the top.

I don't think any bank in the USA Is going to give you a good rate on buying Reais relative to what you will find in Brazil.

Forgive my spelling, I am using my cell phone to type this up. What is the best way to get reais while in America? I was floorrd when I saw that the rate was 4. 10 on Friday! I took my ass to the bank this morning to order some reais and they gave me a rate of 3. 80, I wanted to curse them out. I am sure the rate won't stay over 4 teais for much longer. What is the best way to get a few thousand dollars before the rate crashes back into the 3. 70's?
