\ Shoes and even house slippers must always be removed before stepping on the tatami.

I think my girl was "stepping on the tatami" last night, if you know what I mean. Wait, that's not a euphemism?

I think you guys are full of good info. But my larger point was that at MC, they were using this word. Tatami. To signify the size / type of room between the 40min room (tiny) and the suite (1hr). For example the oddly shaped room on the floor above the boate, next to the bathroom. It has a big ol' bed in it, but it's like 2x the size of a 40min room. Had never heard them use this word before to refer to that room size. *shrug*

A tatami is a Japanese straw mat. They are usually found in the bedrooms in ryokans; you place your futon on top of the tatami and sleep on it. Tatamis are also found in zendos. You place your mat and meditation cushion on top of the tatami, then sit on the cushion and meditate (it's actually more complicated than this, but that's the essence). Shoes and even house slippers must always be removed before stepping on the tatami.

Eric,

Tatami are mats traditionally made from rice straw and are used as floor coverings in Japan. I recall a tatami room in L'uomo, in which I got my first dose of Ingrid. That room has no bed and only a tatami on the floor, effectively making the entire room your "bed". Even though the floor space is the same, the "work bench" is a lot big this way than having the usual twin bed in the room. Ingrid did all kinds of interesting gymnastics with me in that room. Highly recommended.

If I remember correctly, that room, located right behind the receptionist desk, actually has a regular rubber mattress just like the other rooms. The only difference is that it is on the floor rather than on a platform. Although there are not a lot of Japanese in Rio, there are groups who come from São Paulo on "business" trips.

Monte Carlo reopened on Friday last week I think. They had been closed for 3 days (Terca / Quarta / Quinta) due to work in the street that required turning off the gas & electric to the building.

Checked in tonight around 8. 30. Quiet in the boate (Monday) with maybe 5-7 guys. Thinned out like my hairline. Zing! Good news is apparently Monday is rock-music night and the stereo was playing rock songs instead of the usual dance / hiphop. They rolled like 6 Pearl Jam "greatest hits" in a row. They also threw on a bunch of GNR including Welcome To The Jungle.

I told the gal I was with (Cintia, my little Hally Berry look-alike) that the song was probably older than her. I guessed it came out in 1988. She said that's when she was born. Making her 23 and me 1 year younger than her mom. Yowza! She kept calling me her "Quarentao" which apparently is "big 40" LOL. Maybe it's my gut.

Fun time had by all in the room. Best part was before Round 2, when I asked her to give little Cartman a kiss and I stood up. She took the pillow herself and put it on the floor. Pavlovian, as BubbaBoy notes. Well done!

First time I'd heard them use the word "tatame" (ta-tam-I) for the room size between the small 40-min rooms and the full suite. Heard it from two different people. Google translates it as "mat" and wikipedia says its a kind of Japanese mat. Anyone know? http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatame


Anyway, R$385 all-in with 1 water for me. 1 Bohemia for her, and 1 hour in the room. Would have been R$370 without the drinks. That's with my "fidelity discount" (free entrada).

At the moment Drogasmil have decent prices on Generic Viagra. The prices at Drogasmil should be the same all over Rio. Just picked up 4 x 50mg box for R$20. 50. I purchased this in Copa. Normally I would get it from Centro because all of the Zona Sul Farmas would just ask crazy prices like R$30 or I once quoted R$48. I was pretty happy with myself, normally I don't buy anything in Zona Sul anymore because it is just out of control!

I walked into Pacheco's farmacia, and they had it advertised in their store flyer in 50mg, or 100mg. All you have to do is go to the counter, point to the add, and tell them how many you want. No prescription needed. Its as simple as that.

It came out to 5. 50 are per. I bought some about 2 weeks ago. If it were only that easy in the states

I tried to access the website for Termas.

I got Groupon's website in Portuguese! I tried this 3 times and got the same result each time, even when I typed in the web address instead of clicking on the link. Anybody else have this problem? Any ideas as to why this is happening?

In response to your questions:

a. Yes.

b. Their website has been down since c. 2008, apparently.

What is the entrada and pricing at T65 these days?

I would consider that the best place to hook up. I am leery about putas who don't smoke. In my experience the pool of non-smoking and especially non-drinking putas is full of better educated and health conscious girls, the kind who want to do covered blowjobs. YMMV. I like a girl that is out of control and doesn't care about that stuff. My best sessions have been with girls who smoke and drink too much. In Rio, my best sessions have been at 22 with a pretty young garota last year who chain smoked Lucky Strikes, drank too much, and took the goal shot BB every time I came there. Fun times, and clean too.

*Termas 65* (aka Meio cinco) Tier 1 terma.

Address:- Rua do Rosario. 65, Centro. (can get there easily from Uruguiana station)

Website:- http://www.termas65.com.br/

Hours:- 2pm-12am M-F (up to 40 girls, Girls are more or less all there by 5pm.).

Break down of Prices:-

R$ 80, Entrance.

R$ 240, Room hire 40 minutes + girl.

R$ 320 in total plus drinks. (1 hour is R$ 385+ drinks)

I can't agree on the chain smoking semi alcoholic GDP's being best. I don't smoke and only drink like 1 beer a week, go to the gym every other day etc and try to stick to like minded superfit gym girls. They are just as crazy as your girls. I have had some really crazy ass shit from these types of girls!

[Bubba Boy]

Bubba: What should be the etiquette for such an off-time visit? 150R-200R for a couple of hours. Basically just eliminating the terma entrance fee and room charge?

I would think this is spot on. I would be telling them this is what you always pay and sticking to it. Don't let them quote a price. Just tell them what the price is! If they come back with R$300 just tell them "come on, this is what green ass tourists pay" If they stick by R$300 I wouldn't go with them because these type of girls tend to give the worst performance.

The Cartman is more of a comfy terma guy. For me lately that's 65 and MC. Then honestly its probably a toss up between Luomo and 502. At least 502 has the smoking room where you can chillax with your chick for a while. I am not some sort of high-end T snob.

Of course the bonus for 65 or 502 is that there's always a street-churro vendor (at Centro prices, half of Copa) nearby when I rock up at 6-7pm. Makes it worthwhile!

Thanks for the kind words Euro. On the upstairs lounge, every time I've been there recently it has been full of smokers. It's become the "smoking room" like the quieter room at 502 is the smoking room. I can't abide it. Makes me want to hurl. If you can find it without the smokers, it would have a lot of promise. Totally agree.

And if you really want to chill in a more quiet atmosphere, there is always the upstairs lounge (which is too quiet for me, though).

Eric Cartman:

Great job reporting! But I disagree on the merits of 4*4. I love this place, exactly because it is such a zoo. Yes, a lot of the dudes feel the need to have their bathrobes hang down from their waist. But this is actually working in your favor: the girls know that them dudes aren't their paying customers and concentrate on the guys that don't do that. And if you really want to chill in a more quiet atmosphere, there is always the upstairs lounge (which is too quiet for me, though). Plus, the occasional strip show in the main boite prevents boredom.

Cervantes. YES! Love that place. Never took a seat in their restaurant, though, but always have walked up to the lunch counter and ate my sandwich standing up. Great place.

Keep up the good work!

Euro.

P. S. : Will hit Rio again in a month or so. Good times.
