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).

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. ".

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?

Her "amigo," LMBAO, I've had Brazilian guys set me up with their wives, GFs, & cousins! He was her pimp!

Is Mister E posting under a second user name?

Are you thinking of the retired Rio Roiss Hotel? It wasn't fancy, but it was decent enough and they were guest friendly. If you booked a double, they wouldn't charge a guest fee. I had some great memories there.

The place where I stayed during my very first visit to Rio! Also many great memories, some of them funny like yours. Time marches on I guess as Rio and Brazil changes.

[Xpartan]

Many thanks for your long and interesting comment about your stay in Rio, that will help me muito obrigado !!! I will be in Rio mid October

Have fun!

That much I figured after she spread them for me, but he was a big guy. The price of making a mistake could've been higher than I would've wanted to pay, LOL.

Goodness how time changes things. Every time when I think or hear of something in Rio my mind instantly takes me back to my 2 trips there in 2000,18 years ago. Forget the name but both times stayed in a hotel a block and a half away from HELP which was a blast every night.

One one visit I wife'd up with a great young lady I had met at HELP. Those few weeks spent with her will be with me till the day I die. A very special time and place in my life.

I had some great memories there. The corner double rooms on the higher floors had a view of the ocean. I remember banging my ATF there on the corner table as the sun came up and a guy cleaning a rooftop across the street watched us.

I was leaving Rio on Sunday. Spent my last afternoon on the beach in front of Meia Pataca. There was that mulatto girl lying on a lounger. She did look like a programa girl, but there was a black guy in the lounger next to her. When he left I approached her and asked to take my picture. She smiled and I asked where her namorado had gone. She laughed and said he was amigo, not namorado, so I told her I was leaving soon and wondered if she wanted to join me in my apartment across the street. I only had about an hour left before I had to head for the airport, so it was a very rushed $150 fuck I could've done without. Not her fault..
