Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Vagabundo1]

Do girls at the clubs speak English? No.

I got up this morning and the first PM I received is one worth answering in detail.

My answer is below.

But it bears explanation.

I don't speak Portuguese fluently. But what I am is a social learner. Many of our group are not. Many of us are actually very bad at social skills. If you need to go to 4 x4, generally, this means you.

Let's start with dress.

Wear a Vasco mask and shirt. The mask costs 1.5 r at rua alfandega. That is 60 cents. The locals are always, always, always looking at you and searching for social cues because if they are looking at you, from the lowest tier hooker and beach vendor, to the minister of finance looking for a Swap line, they are asking for money. If a Brazilians mouth is moving? He is asking for money. If a Russians mouth is moving. He is lying.

When they look at your mouth, they should see vasco. Why vasco? Because it is not flamego. Because vasco has a noble history, a history of being a christian crusader, etc. Then your shirt. MichaelSamuel, to his everlasting credit, on his first and second trips, wore a vasco shirt, even went to a game. Took off the rich world ball cap. Even if you are the whitest white, there are the whitest white people in Brazil. They are called gauchos, they are from Rio Grande do Sul.

Italians and Germans moved to Rio Grande do Sul in 3 waves -- 1898, post WW1, post WW2. There are cities in Rio Grande do sul that only speak German. Gisele Bundschen is from there. Barra in Rio is the Rio Grande do Sul of Rio de Janeiro state. (Niteroi and that side of g bay is the nordeste of RJ state, with more darker skinned persons).

OK, if you want good sex, you need to be able to speak the Brazilian Portuguese. I was fucking a girl in darkroom the other day, and it was all, "frango assado" lots of laughter. That is missionary anal. Etc. Then I broke into my fantasy is Vasco policia (she, Beatrice is vasco), and Flamengo vagabundo because for a good dupla you must make one girl dominate the other. Everyone gets that. Having the girls wear the soccer shirts is a winner during a dupla. Huge pro tip right there.

I am an english teacher here. But the way my brain is wired is from: 4 years of officer candidate school and boxing during college in groups of dozens of fighters and or fellow soldiers, then 4 years of standing in front of mobile infantry dropping onto planets to squash bugs (allusion to starship troopers by heinlein) in groups of hundreds, then years of teaching kids in high school and coaching kids in football, and then law school, and then working at a law firm, hedge fund, and in the courts where in the cases I took I always won. So, I pick up social cues, micro expressions, smiles, the dirty look from the flamengo hot as fuck mulatta who is top of my list at the prive who I didn't do, and then verbal judo her into a laugh by saying maybe flamengo polica, vasco vagabundo (ie, she puts the vasco girl into submissive roles, like eating her pussy and my dick, on a leash, spanks the vasco vagabunda's ass, etc).

OK, you lurkers who never post and you other cultural imperialists there is your lesson.

Go on youtube and listen to porta dos fundos. You could even play some of those episodes.

You go into a session at a prive, give her a massage first (hat tip to jimmy boy).

You get the terma girl to your place, give her a massage and learn how to eat pussy well enough so she orgasms.

You've got some source of rich world income, so you are by local standards rich.

OK, at the very first level, what you wear, at least show some mfing effort, which is the first step in communication (and security). Wear a vasco shirt and mask. Better yet, wear a bombeiro shirt and gear so you look like a off duty bombeiro who is a vasco fan if you don't open your mouth. The locals will talk to you, to probe you for intel, because they are asking for money. Even the good Brasileiros ask you for money, like the college administrators supporting my course -- they ask me to pay the admin types who market, because a retired lieutenant commander has money.

The first words out of my mouth when I first meet a new carioca such as a cab driver is "vc carioca the gema?" the usual answer is yes. (meaning both their parents were cariocas). Then I say, ëyou sou carioca the fake" because it's a little funny. It is not dave Chappelle netflix special funny, but it is a self aware joke. My accent give away that I am a fake, with my vasco mask, etc.

I have actually translated in termas. For dodochen, for example, I talked to the big titted loira in Mosaico, and translated whether she would do anal, how much, etc. I will do that if you're a good wingman, basically share the uber, share a meal, etc. But if you want better sex, even with a hooker, even in her casa, you need to learn some porto. Go to the effing library and check out a porto course on CD rom, and digitize it to your cloud, and listen to it while you go to sleep, and play it all night, do it over and over like it is that or castration as a penalty, because the locals can give you bad sex, like is so often reported here by heart broken in love mongers like zebra fretting over the tier 1 girl he fell in love with who, he was shocked, shocked, to learn was back at work at monte carlo, or you can do a little bubba boy mini relationship good sex move by blending into the local culture a little more. But, whatever, what do I know.

My answer:

No.

Dear Vagabundo1:

I have RTFF going back over a year, but still have an earnest question for the experienced board members who have been to Scandallo (and other (not quite as good?) Sampa area clubs): are there ladies there in any significant number night in and night out who can speak passable English?

While I am semi-fluent in Spanish, I don't find (at least my level of) Spanish a reasonable substitute for Brazilian Porto. And I would not like my hopes/chances on finding the "needle in the haystack" English speaker. Yeah, yeah, I realize that cash/effectivo can do a lot of the speaking for me (along with a Google or other translator app), but as we all know, actually being able to communicate (at least a little) beyond $$ or stilted stiff translator app back and forth goes a long way in enhancing the chance for a stellar sessions or, indeed, sessions. Wish I were better at languages -- and can already hear the knee-jerk response that I simply need to learn some Portuguese; but answer me this, at least at those higher level clubs -- any ladies in any reasonable numbers that speak passable English?

It seems like there will be a New Years celebration again in Rio de Janeiro, unless the covid-situation gets worse.

I struck a deal with a Solarium hottie to accompany me to a swing club this Friday night. I will pay her 1000 R for about 4 hours to bang her in the swing club and she is also open to being swapped. I googled swing clubs in Rio and found 2 clubs: 2A2 in Bogofota and ASHA in Barra. Anyone has been to these 2 clubs lately and can recommend one over the other? Many thanks in advance.

I have been to all the swing clubs in Moema in Sao Paulo but this is my first time checking out the swing clubs in Rio.

[Vagabundo1]

Isgers in town.

Gato1, Ben, pv, safado69, Christian g.

I am doing a pernoite with Belladonna, 500 reais. All is well.

Yesterday, I did a darkroom girl, Beatrice. She was recommended by Christian G. Good call. 22 years old, great performer. 2 shots. 160 r.

Summer has started. Hot AF blond obvious hookers on the elevator at Transamerica, lots out at the pool. All I do every day is go to the pool, fuck, rinse repeat.

[Member #4729]

My fitness level is hot step-dad.

PMs now open no gay please, but MMMF gang / blowbangs ok.

[Golfinho]

Do they still have the suggestion boxes at the exit door and the girl conducting the after session customer satisfaction surveys?

Of course, they do. It's right under the sign that says 'No employees at this establishment will accept tips.'

The best daily plan is always.

12 h30 - 20 h darkroom Prive or Prive girl to fuck.

19 h - 24 h tier 1 termas to socialize get numbers.

24 h- 05 h: Mosaico or Paris or your ap for swing.

[BenTiger07]

Will hang somewhere near Copa around 530-630 pm. Probably 1 of the more expensive places like solarium, Centaurus, Montecarlo, or 4 x4. If anyone goes to any of those places today around that time, let me know and we'll meet.

Decreasing my mongering activity to make time to do other stuff. 15 girls last month was too much. I missed out on doing other stuff. Doing a favela tour also at Tuesday 2 pm if anyone wants to tag:

Of course, they are. And tested daily. Their concern foremost is the health and happiness of their customers, especially foreigners who they will likely see once and once only.

*Where long term is defined as a isger who comes to Rio for longer than a month, more than twice a year. If you are here twice a year for 5 weeks, you have a contact list of girls, and once you fuck twice, you are her boyfriend (see the bubba boy's guide). She has several boyfriends obviously. You can and should take her to a Disney venue in the rich world at some point, that may be as close to a honeymoon as both parties get. You might even have a kid, and whether to have the kid in Brazil or the rich world is a good question. Mr Catra had something like 40 kids. If his seed were certified by rich world lawyers, doctors, and government agencies, all of those cariocas might be entitled to. Education, etc.

Senor Cane and Anaggie who are valuable contributors, even eskimo bros (Elisa Sanches, though her pussy now has professional medical help to be restored to youth from what I understand), have been critical of Bubba Boy's Guide, which both I and Sperto praise.

I think the main point is that the guide is mainly useful for long term* Rio / Brazil residents, with the parts about mini relationships and security, among other things having timeless value, regardless of whether a specific place like Luomo is open.

The RJ prives and SP clinicas main clientele is rich locals, who they do see repeatedly, and over years. Isgers who piggyback on the locals thus take advantage of the economic incentive to have clean girls. The alpha prive / clinica, Miruna, in SP, is of course right across the street from a luxury auto shop, and the girls include porn stars there regularly like Kamila Werneck (again, which porn genius casts Kamila as Kamala makes bank) or Cindy Blueberry; the SJ prives regularly include porn stars as headline attractions. (as to whether terma girls are always hotter than prive / clinica talent, see the attached for a certain callsign Mikaela, who could be had at prive rates on the 8th floor of rio branco 156; her data could be found in screens of the local forums like gparena.net, and before gparena, forumx, and the other local forums). You want to be Bond and know the local sex trade, have your Q scan gparena.

I paid 80 reais for a salad with chicken, a coke (for daisantra), and a orange juice today when we spent the afternoon at the top floor pool deck of the Hilton. Think about living for a month, maybe even supporting a family on 284 a month, the next time you pay 250 for a half hour of sex at your favorite terma, or pay 75 reais for a half our to shoot a wad at your next prive / clinica session. After lunching with daisantra, I had dinner with Gato1, who is in town in Copa P5, at a usual seafood spot. I had finished a pretty awesome 48 hour for 1200 with a current mini relationship with a tier 1 terma 18 year old, with an ass and legs like a gazelle; all the isgers in town wonder about her but she is still in the witness protection program and a Swiss Intel double O.

Vagabundo corresponds with some isgers back in rich world pussy puritan prison (how's that for alliteratively coining phrases, I always feel my inner Twain / Hemingway / Tarantino-Rogan coming out); they say their pure bred German Shepherd and their gamer desktop are all they need or want and are sufficient substitutes for Rio pussy. Vagabundo is skeptical. The Rich world has become dominated by ugly women who force you to look at them, like a judge demanding a comment from a man condemned to further torture by a thousand cuts of paper to your nutsac until your precious bodily fluids (allusion to Doctor Strangelove intended) drip out in submission to feminazi cunts. That last word -- the dreaded see word -- is for daisantra.

Anyway, a ever changing crew of isgers is in town. PV118 is on point, the best navigator. Gato1 is a pleasure to patrol with, a veteran of pussy patrols from a few months ago where 7 strong squads of isgers hit 116, then 4 x 4 in a short afternoon mission in which 3 or more executed at 116, the rest to follow on for attacks at 4 x 4. Perhaps too, one of the best ISG wingmen, Safado69, too has arrived; he is why Vagabundo is at Transamerica, as his solid reporting lead to this Barra paradise alpha love motel, the Hotel California, the culture of which is best summarized by that Eagles hit song. A monger mongers for the best in world GFE with Carioca's finest; but to round out one's social life, one must have friends, for as William Manchester wrote in Goodbye Darkness, on a battlefield, a man without friends is truly damned. Thus the ant****ial among our clan damn themselves to sit inside rich world puritans pussy prison and stroke their purebred German Shepherd and their mouse and their own genitals.

*The baseline government assistance program in Brazil is Bolsa Familia, which pays 200 or so Reais (recently raised from 189 to 284 in the current president's attempt to buy votes for 2022) a month to recipients. See below.

A meme that circulated recently on Twitter in Brazil depicted the economy minister, Paulo Guedes, as a footballer facing a wide-open goal. He shoots. The ball soars over the crossbar. The meme refers to a proposed tax reform that Mr Guedes has been trying to get through Congress but it also reflects growing pessimism about the government's entire economic agenda. After a pensions revamp in 2019, the year Brazil's populist president, Jair Bolsonaro, took office, most reforms stalled amid political turmoil and covid-19. Latin America's biggest economy is weakening, squeezing the government's budget. Markets are getting queasy. With next year's presidential elections drawing near, time for reforms is running out.

Brazilian investors were remarkably forgiving in 2020, when the government threw money at the pandemic, says Arthur Carvalho of Truxt Investimentos, a hedge fund in Rio de Janeiro. In order to pass health-and-stimulus spending worth 8% of GDP, Congress suspended a constitutionally mandated "fiscal ceiling", which limits annual spending growth to the rate of inflation. The real fell by nearly a quarter early in the pandemic but then stabilised. Public debt grew to 89% of GDP in 2020 but, thanks to the stimulus, the economy shrank by only 4. 1%, less than in most emerging markets.

Economic liberals hoped that this year, lawmakers would at last approve Mr Guedes's proposals to boost growth and curb spending. In January allies of Mr Bolsonaro gained control of both houses of Congress. Tax and public-sector reforms started to advance. The government celebrated some victories, such as a law that formalized the independence of the central bank and a constitutional amendment that allowed private investment in sewerage works. The lower house approved a watered-down tax reform on September 1st. Despite a brutal second wave of covid-19, the main stock market index hit a record high in June after news that GDP grew by 1.2% in the first quarter. Public debt fell to 84% of GDP.

External factors also helped. Rising prices for commodities such as iron ore and soyabeans, among Brazil's leading exports, boosted growth and tax revenues. Low interest rates in rich countries like the United States drove investors to emerging markets like Brazil.

"Everything is getting better," said Mr Guedes. Markets seemed to agree. "Guedes is a hero," says Pedro Albuquerque, the CEO of TradersClub, a startup that erected a statue of the minister dressed as the Mandalorian, a bounty hunter from a television series. But Brazil has its own version of Wall Street v Main Street. Amid cheers on Faria Lima, an avenue in São Paulo that is home to big banks, unemployment eased only slightly from a record of 14.7% in the first quarter of this year to 14.1% in the second quarter. Household consumption is still below the level of early 2019. Year-on-year price inflation is 9% overall and more for staples like rice (40%) and sugar (30% owing to the increase in commodity prices. "My youngest son drinks a lot of milk but I have less and less to give him," says Thais Santos Nascimento, who lost her job cleaning long-empty offices in June. Mr Bolsonaro's approval rating has been falling since monthly cheques to poor people were slashed at the beginning of the year. It is now less than 30%.

In an attempt to regain support, Mr Guedes has turned his attention to his boss's orders to "turbo-charge" Bolsa Família ("Family Fund" a cash-transfer programme to reduce extreme poverty. The government wants to expand the pool of recipients from 14.6 m to 16 m, raise the average monthly payment from 189 reais ($36) to 284 and give the programme a new name, Auxílio Brasil ("Brazil Aid" so that voters associate it with Mr Bolsonaro rather than ex-president Luiz Inácio Lula the Silva (2003-10). Lula was president when Bolsa Família was first launched and is expected to run for the office again against Mr Bolsonaro next year. (Polls show him winning.)

But as Congress heads into budget talks, Mr Guedes is struggling to figure out how to dole out more cash without busting through the reimposed spending cap. At first he wagered that inflation would slow in the second half of the year. This would provide a fiscal boost, since the spending cap rises in line with the inflation rate in the middle of the year, whereas increases in some salaries and benefits paid by the government depend on the inflation rate at the end of the year. But inflation has stayed high.

Mr Guedes's next idea was a constitutional amendment that would postpone court-ordered debt payments to lower tiers of government to circumvent the spending cap. This strikes many as fiscally reckless. Marcos Mendes of Insper, a business school in São Paulo, helped design the cap. He says it was needed because prior laws to promote fiscal responsibility had been amended to the point of irrelevance. "The worry is less about the numbers and more about what would happen to the debt trajectory if the mechanism were to fail," he says. Neither the controversial amendment nor extra spending for Auxílio Brasil were included in a budget draft submitted to congress on August 31st, but both are still on the table.

Other worries are also contributing to a worsening outlook. Brazil's worst drought in 90 years has curbed hydropower, sending electricity prices soaring and raising fears of blackouts. The tax reform faces uncertainty in the senate; other reforms have stalled again. In June Congress was consumed by an inquiry into the government's handling of the pandemic, which turned up allegations of corruption in vaccine deals. More recently it has been distracted by Mr Bolsonaro's threat to suspend next year's elections if legislators don't pass a bill to introduce paper ballots. When such a bill was rejected, the president called for protests on September 7th.

For the past three weeks, the central bank's poll of economists has trimmed their prediction for growth in 2021, to 5.2%. The markets have gone into reverse. Share prices have fallen by 11% since June and the real has depreciated by 6%. The sell-off followed a dip in commodity prices and fears that the Federal Reserve would soon raise interest rates, again sucking money out of Brazil and other emerging markets. Those fears have eased but they exposed "problems Brazil was sweeping under the rug", says Zeina Latif, an economist. The government's borrowing costs are rising: the yield on its ten-year bonds hit double digits for the first time since the election in 2018.

Still, financial markets are fickle and Brazil's economy always seems to be "on the edge of a precipice", points out Joaquim Levy, a former finance minister. It usually manages to pull back. In 2015 he was in a similar position to Mr Guedes, working for a president, Dilma Rouseff, who backed away from economic reforms. That deepened the recession of 2014-16. Mr Levy reckons that Brazil is better off now because lawmakers and society better understand the need for fiscal restraint.

If reforms do pass before attention shifts to the election, they are likely to be half-hearted. Congress is considering several tax-reform bills. The one that succeeded in the lower house on September 1st is not the business-friendly bill that would merge several levies into a simplified value-added tax, but rather a populist proposal to lower income tax for middle-class Brazilians. It broadens the tax base by introducing a tax on dividends but also adds new distortions. Meanwhile, a bill to reform the public sector by making it possible to fire deadbeat workers, among other things, would provide long-term savings but is a longshot. Privatisation of the postal service, which passed the lower house in August, is set to be voted on by the Senate in September.

Second-quarter GDP figures, which were released on September 1st, showed a decline of 0. 1%. Of 30 large economies tracked by the OECD, a club of rich countries, Brazil was the only one that did not grow. Itaú, a bank, predicts that annual growth will fall to just 1.5% next year, "as the factors that drove growth this year wear out". That may be enough to keep Brazil away from the cliff, but for those who expected Mr Guedes to lead it to sunny uplands, it is a disappointment. Once again Brazilians will have to lower their expectations.

Of course, they are. And tested daily. Their concern foremost is the health and happiness of their customers, especially foreigners who they will likely see once and once only.

Some recent ISGers report rb156 requires separate authorization from the annoying front desk system for each trip to a prive. I doubt that's true, and this procedure of stair running down (the best way to clear a building is from the top) probably works. We will put that in the essential items of intel basket. RB156 and its several sister buildings are 250 meters from the metro cinelandia starbucks, the usual starting point for pussy patrols if vagabundo is leading or in any way involved in a pussy patrol.

RB 156 is a piece of cake. Start from the top floor, 33: th floor. Run down the fire stairs to next priv on your list. No problem, no one will bother you. TDM33 and TDM 47, same thing. No problem, just run down the fire stairs. TDM 33 has a elevator system that will make you go nuts and might take you ages to get a elevator. RB185 is difficult. Some of the elevator guys are nota 10. I know a few of the who have 100% control of all the prives and the new girls. The skinny gut who looks like Robert de Niro, in Taxi driver, when I'm alone with him in the elevator he'll give me a super quick report in 30 seconds about the new girls in the building. He's worth gold. He wants nothing in return, he just wants to hear about which girls I thought were the best. However, the porteiros in RB185 have some guys in the security room who are real assholes. I Like to pass the stairs quickly to check out the prives. The problem is the guys monitoring the cameras. When they see someone going from floor to floor they'll scream out in the loudspeakers that it's forbidden to stay in the corridors. Quite annoying.

While I detect some irony in this funny post, I strongly suspect prive girls are vaccinated if places like Transamerica, and the luxury movie, requires vax cards for the pool and gym.

Of course, they are. And tested daily. Their concern foremost is the health and happiness of their customers, especially foreigners who they will likely see once and once only.

[Golfinho]

Hello guys,

Do you Know if the prives girls are vaccinated?

Thank you, I will be in Rio next Friday.

Of course, they are. And tested daily. Their concern foremost is the health and happiness of their customers, especially foreigners who they will likely see once and once only.
