Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Poucolouco]

Koolkid:...
Today went back to L'Uomo and sessioned with Nathalia and Natasha. Both good. Then I went to the locker area and noticed my wallet was missing 3x R$100 notes. Argued with the management but got nowhere. NOT GOING BACK EVER. And if I do I am bringing my cash into the boite and cabinas. F-ing Putas!

Thong, could you please clarify this. Since you state you were missing 3 x R$100, does this mean there were more notes in your wallet? Were there any notes of smaller denimination than R$100? Was the locker still locked when you returned from your session? Did you have your key with you at all times? Sessioning with two garotas, you would have incurred a tab of more than R$300,00. Did you pay your tab with notes or credit card?

[Mangera]

Of the larger termas such as 4 x 4, Luomos, Solarium, Cent., MC etc., I have never experienced or heard of anything regarding stealing from a locker. Specifically, a locker. I have been visiting termas for over 6 years.

If word got out that such things were taking place, that would hurt business in a bad way. So for there own sake, it is best to keep that kind of scenario from occuring.

Anything is possible, but I highly doubt that the money was stolen from the locker itself. As someone suggested earlier, maybe you miscounted, dropped or misplaced the $.

P.S. Hope you find it, and partake in another session with those 300 R. If not, I hope I find them when I get there in a couple of weeks : )

Are there any 1-2 real a min places in copa? Can't be assed to go to centro today and was wondering if there was anything here.

Thanks

JUST STOP! The only other access to the locks is via master key from the manager. Only time I ever heard of theft are those that placed valuables in their robes. They will fire and or beat the shit out of an employee caught stealing. Your valuables are safer there than in your hotel and sometimes the hotel safe in your room.

really? How can you be so sure do you work there. Things happen so for you to jump up and no makes no sense. Thats what this board is for to give intel. Are you calling this guy a liar?

I saw Ingrid about 4 weeks ago and she looked fanatastic!! If she really wanted to, she could get out of the life in a heartbeat, she must have about a dozen guys who want to marry her!

I must say, I thought she looked pretty tired that night, not alot of make up. But she has a natural beauty about her. So if she got some sleep, and maybe left the lifestyle she would be smokin, and with her sexual skills, yeah she would be snapped up like that!

In Rio myself. Did Ingrid last night around 5ish. OUTSTANDING. Also was in Melt, but went through kitchen door to the VIP. Wasn't waiting in the line.

Yes we also went through the kitchen door, a big black bouncer pulled us out the line and we went in that way.

[Gfechaser]

I was talking to a young friend of mine the other day and he informed me that he has always wanted to go to Brazil. I told him that you only live once so he should head down there.

Then I started to think about it and on the one hand the prices are going up and given the flight time it may be better to go to a place like like Columbia.

Then again now that the prices have gone up one would assume that there are fewer people traveling to Rio which could also be a positive.

I am just not sure what to tell the guy. Should he at least travel to Brazil once and then explore other more cost friendly areas later? I myself really enjoy luomo and the terma experience.

[Bravo]

I can't swear that this is true -- I got this from one of the other girls. But I know her pretty well so I tend to believe it. No reason to lie.

Also, it seemed to fit. When she first came back, she didn't look so good (I know that is hard to believe, but true in my opinion). Sort of like she hadn't been taking care of herself, kind of puffy in the face, hair not done so well. I don't know, but I remember wondering what was going on. Then, I saw her a few weeks (or a month) later and she looked great, back to her old self. So, one night I asked a friend there and that is what se told me, in kind of a sad way. Sort of like, she had escaped the life, but not really, she had come back.

I think I speak for about 1000 guys who have been to L'uomo 100s of times. I have never heard of anyone missing anything. Ever. Unless they have had some recent personnel changes, the women working the locker room are not people I would accuse of thievery.

Here's the thing. I've found this board so useful for information, that when it happened I felt I needed to post something. I find it hard to even believe it happened to me because I've had so many good experiences at L'Uomo myself.

It definitely happened at L'Uomo and I'll tell you why. Went to Citibank on Visconde de Piraja around 4:30pm on Sunday afternoon and took out R$500. I already had R$450 in my wallet and figured I would have some insurance cash. What struck me was that I received 3 x R$100 notes. This was the first time I had ever gotten R$100 notes and thought to myself, oh these are going to be a pain to get rid of. So I thought I would use them at L'Uomo. Hopped into a taxi and got to L'Uomo about 8 minutes later. Paid taxi R$14 and saw the R$100 notes in my wallet when I had taken money out.

Into L'Uomo. Locker room attendant was a girl with curly hair. She was there the day before (Saturday) and I had given her a R$5 tip, which I thought was a decent one. I normally don't pay much attention to these girls, obviously because my focus is on what's through the door.

I had sessioned with Ingrid the day before. Ingrid's reputation precedes herself and it is well-deserved. Unfortunately, by the time I arrived she was already busy with someone else, although she did come over and say hello. Patricia then sat down next to me and started to do the usual kiss in the ear routine. I let that go on for about a minute or two but told her politely that I did not intend on sessioning with her and that I didn't want to waste her time (and mine too). She just didn't do it for me. Didn't seem to be any hard feelings either.

Natalie (or Nathalie, however they spell it down here) came over. Had a drink and then went to the room. Handed over my key ring to her and she was back 5 minutes later. A great performance but not Ingrid or Jamile (who Ingrid told me is no longer there).

Back in the boite. Still had time before I needed to meet a friend. Natasha was looking lonely. She clearly had not been with anyone all night long and I was wondering why. She looked good. So I called her over and it was almost as if she switched on another personality because I couldn't believe how outgoing she was. Two drinks later, we're heading for the room. Again, hand over the locker key and she goes and does whatever it is they do in that room for 5 or 10 minutes. Natasha was awesome.

It was like 8. 30 and I went into the locker room to make a call to my friend to see what time we were going to meet up. 9. 45 (or so, you know how Brazilians are with time). Just used my phone, didn't check my wallet at that time. Headed back into the boite and thought about a third session. Was thinking to myself that I had the cash so why not. Sat and had 2 beers and decided enough was enough so got cleaned up around 915.

Back in the locker room and went to look in my wallet and that's when I noticed the 3x R$100 notes were missing. Now, I'm not going to point the finger at the attendant in the locker room. The only people who had that locker room key were Natalie and Natasha. I've been trying to figure out how they could have done it. As far as I know, that little room they go into doesn't connect to the locker room. I can't see how it could have been done, but it was. I don't know how and will never know how.

It's never happened to me before (I know I have a low posting rate, call me one of those people who only post things when the bad happens). I've had so many good experiences in L'Uomo that I can't believe this happened. Been there five times in the past year, done the same thing each time, and this is the first time something has happened.

Now, when I told them at the front, they told me this was impossible. Kept saying impossible. I told them that I wanted to see the girls. No. I asked for a R$100 discount off my bill. No. I thought that was reasonable. Kept refusing. Kept saying it was my fault that I should have taken my money into the bar with me. Yet, I remember the first time I was in L'Uomo (about a year ago), the very same woman who just told me that, saw me in the locker room about to go into the boite with my wallet tucked into the robe pocket to leave money in the locker because it is safer there. Whatever. I knew I was getting nowhere with them.

I paid. I walked out. And will not be returning. It pains me to say it. Will I ever leave money in a termas locker room ever again? No. Lesson learned. Thankfully it was only R$300. I can't figure out why the thief didn't take the rest of the cash or the credit cards but whatever. Maybe thief didn't think I'd notice.

No doubt. I want to know where the wallet was. You keep the key, so how were they supposed to steal money from it? Have a duplicate key, just for that locker, wait till nobody is there and then steal money from it and then put it back? Come on ... most likely he miscounted, left the money in his hotel, got drunk and spent it or whatever. I'd believe just about anything other than the ladies in the locker room stole it. Ridiculous.

No offense Thong, I am sure we have all looked in our pockets and found less than we were expecting, but in this case, I would think long and hard about that before accusing one of the upper tier termas of having it stolen.

[SlimHoleDrill]

You never know with these girls but don't know if that's true. I also saw and talked to her in Dec\Jan.

I can't swear that this is true -- I got this from one of the other girls. But I know her pretty well so I tend to believe it. No reason to lie.
