Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Hughdad]

1 block from help a cab, I am suprised that any cab driver would take you. I have just returned from my 4th trip this year, spent just over 3 weeks in Rio, walked around all hours off the day and night in zone zul and didn't feel one bit threatened. I would be more worried about getting robbed by police stoping a taxi late at night, I always have around 2 or 3 thousand reals on me too. Some guys on this board are just way too paronoid. Being paranoid will get you robbed. If you fear the streets off Rio that much it is best that you monger else where, so you feel comfortable at all times.

I am a big guy by Brazilian standards - 6´5" , 240 lbs. And I dress way down and never walk the streets around Help late night. I have been approached by some unruly homeless guys near my apartment in nice areas. They took their begging to a new level where they kept following and started yelling - in English phrases. I keep walking and ignore them and they stop. Once I had to quickly stop and shout fuck off in Porto and the guy threathened to pull something from his pocket. I took a quick step at him and he took off.

But carrying around large sums of $- IMO - is stupid. If the kids and homeless are getting that agressive with me in nicer areas, I can envision a situation where you can get a snatch and grab and better to lose R$20 than R$2000.

Isn't life grand! Next thing you know some guy is going to pretend that his kid went off in a weather balloon in hopes of getting his own reality TV show. A Macunaima by any other name, is just as boring.

That's a mac-u-maniac move.

Quincas has his own thread? A guy who has been a member for less than one month?!! LOL

I'm curious as to who this guy is. i've been on here for 4 years now and i've never seen a post by him.

Just Jackson's way of putting a pendejo on the sidelines without having to outright ban him.

Very clever.

Greetings everyone,

In recognition of his many great contributions to the Forum, I have given Quincas his own thread titled "Quincas in Brazil".

http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...ead.php?t=3095

Those of you who wish to join him in the discussions in his new thread are welcome to do so.

I've also moved all of his previous "contributions" to this new thread, creating a sort of "The Collected Works of Quincasl"" for those of you who are interested.

Thanks,

Jackson

Some people here seem to think that 2 or 3 thousand reals is alot off money here. Well if you hit a terma it can easily set you back over 1000r. If you hit vips motel with drinks and food for 8 to 10 hours it always runs around 1000r without the cost off girls. And I like to do duplas in termas and have 2 or 3 women when I hit vips. What I can't understand is why people here are afraid to walk around zone zul. If you can't be yourself in a place. Don't go there. Most days I hit termas. Around once per week I hit vips. And I do stuff on the spare off the moment. I don't see the point in heading back to the apartment everytime I decide to do something to get money. And I don't use debit or credit cards in Rio except for citi bank atm machines.

I am curious about a few things: (a) why do you carry so much money with you?; (b) how do you carry it (e.g. do you keep your money in a money belt or in separate pockets or all in one pocket?); and (c) have you ever been robbed by the police or anyone else while carrying so much money?

Nice catch phrase, "Robbed by the police," I've seen a Centro street churrascaria vendor beat down by the Rio cops for no apparent reason. I can't imagine that a gringo would fare any better when encountering cops who want money.

JohnnyB wears Armani and Boss clothes around Rio. He's safe because nobody wants to put a knife or bullet hole or blood stain in the clothes. If they did mug him, they'd forget the money and take the clothes.

Iraq or even Afghanistan is safer than Rio.

I would think twice before venturing to that jungle....

JohnnyBraz is genuinely an extremely hard nut, judging by his past posts. His style is not one to be copied by others even if it works for him.

Walking around at all times of day and night, all over Rio with 2-3 thousand reis in cash doesn't show confidence, but foolhardy!!!!! Not being paranoid, but common sense has to play a roll at some point. Just my opinion.

Thanks for getting the truth out there!

Wait and see what happens to Copa once Help closes! All of copa will be a "target rich enviorment" for the banditos, not just that 4 block radius! Drunken gringos walking up and down the strip, looking for pussy? It will be like ringing a dinner bell for the lions!

when help closes it will be the best thing that happened to copa. It just gets worse and worse in there as time goes on. Took one girl from there, she quoted 400r we settled on 300r tln multiple pops. Got back to the apartment and she demanded money upfront. I showed her the money and explained in the morning when she leaves it is there for her. She said no upfront or no sex. I said fine fuck off then. She then threatened and wanted cab money and re entry money for help. I told her to fuck off and removed her from the apartment. She was the only garota who I hadn't seen in there for the past 3 years. Help is a shithole that has become infested with hoes that can't make money elsewhere. Termas are the only option in Rio.
