Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Exec Talent]

Heading to Paris Cafe and solarium tomorrow after I pick up my motorcycle rental and do some cruising up the coast and down the jungle roads.

Frequent visitor to Rio staying for months at a time, not days. Fluent in Portuguese and have many motorcycle owning friends including members of the local Harley club. I can count on 10 hands how many have been assaulted on their motorcycles. This does not include acquaintances with similar stories. Here is how it works and why you rarely see motorcycles stopping at lights or stop signs in Brazil.

I have rented cars around the world, but never once in Brazil. A motorcycle is completely out of the question for me. The more people around you with nothing to lose, the greater the chance you will lose.

Stopped in at solarium sessioned one of my top 3 hottest girls ever. Long black hair that went clear between her cheeks. Face was an 8 body 11 so I would give her a 9.5. LOL Then back to centaurus because spinner was bored. I was only customer in the bar when I arrived. Sessioned the spinner just so I could drink and smoke. Next day moved to airbb in barra. Had to get some things so spinner in tow we cruised the mall. When I saw an interesting sales clerk I would point out an article of clothing and have spinner keep others busy while I made determination on point of interest. Got the contact info of a cutie that seemed pretty interested. Spoke decent English and loves usa. Tried with two others but they spoke no English and didn't seem interested. Spinner needed a new phone and had the nerve to ask me to pay for an iPhone 11. LOL. I told her no. She then admitted she had money saved and I contributed $300. Which I am ok with for two full days of fun. So for two pairs of shorts a bathing suit and $300. I am getting 3 full days, a phone number of a pretty definite nonpro and a 3 way with spinner and her friend. Looking forward to Barra. The girls seem more eager and interested here. I got a lot of looks at the mall. Heading to Paris Cafe and solarium tomorrow after I pick up my motorcycle rental and do some cruising up the coast and down the jungle roads. Did the christ the redeemer thing too, it was impressive. It was cool having a local take me. Might also try a prive I found on gparenadotnet #travelbug that looks interesting. I just want to say thanks to vagabundo again and every one else that contributes. I read quite a ways back before taking the plunge to come here and do not regret it. I have gotten some decent pics I will try and post once home. Had a video from Marrakesh that would have been great but it didn't come out well. Thanks again everyone.

Sounds great, am coming to Rio in 2.5 weeks myself after reading through posts here (will be second time for me). Is your airbnb in Barra in Transamerica or a different location? If different. Any issue with having girls come up?

[Vagabundo1]

When you arrive at any city, buy fireman's and lifeguard's gear. In Rio, ave the república 13.

[TravelBug2020]

For the girls you got from barravips, were they based in Rio or in Barra and were willing to commute? I noticed that 90% of girls on that site are based in Barra.

Yes, all came to copa. I paid uber a few times. But never had an issue. Although think most girls lived in Copa or Ipanema.

What's up fellas. Arrived Sat afternoon around 11 am. Arrived to Pestana. Booked the ocean front room that at Riobob suggested. And the view is definitely worth it.

Saturday after exchanging money. Hitting the pharmacy for Xans and viagra hit some beach bars until 5 pm.

1st stop. Monte carlo. TD with sexy 27 yo Laura.

Amazing body and great sex. A+.

Got some grub and showered and then headed to Solarium. Nice layout good music. TD with beautiful slim Venezuelan lady. Again another +.

Back to hotel by 11. Jet lag set in.

Sunday. Beach day. And day drinking at different beach bars. Stopped at mabs around 9 pm and not 1 lady. Finished the day just getting a freelancer from barravip.

Monday. Went to christo redeemer. Amazing. Breath-taking worth the 15 bucks.

Then went to centro to look for prives and we struck out. Couldn't find 1 that was open. Used the Google map that someone posted on here.

So went back to copa area. Headed to copa 583 10 ladies some pretty. But I am picky. So went to eden in same building, was told they don't offer sex haha. Little embarrassing. Then headed to a 3rd room in that building forgot name. But about 6 girls. I passed, but buddy scored a hot lady. I used whatsapp and hooked up with another barravip lady.

5 pm took uber to centro. Went to terma 65 nothing in there we liked, went to terma New York. Again nothing. Then went to terma aquaris? But didn't exist.

So now it's 7 pm in uber heading to Centaurus.

Learning a lot. Still wish I knew more info on prives and office buildings.

But 2 full days in and having a blast!

This post will not be as informative, centaurus brought an interesting turn of events. Chose a spinner at the end of the session she asked for my whatsapp, ended up hooking up all day Sunday and Monday. Went to christ the redeemer. No lines no waits which was great. She didn't ask for money but I gave her $200 and bought her a nice dress which she loved and wore the whole time. Heading to termas solarium or whatever it's called tonight. Then back with spinner tomorrow unless a hotter chick at solarium does the same. Tomorrow is move to Barra. All the hottest girls at termas have said they live in Barra. Will hit Paris Cafe wed. Or tomorrow if I decide my spinner isn't worth being tied down for anymore. While almost free is nice, I am here to sample as much as possible in a short time.

Thank you two for your on the ground reporting. I will touchdown to the cidade maravilhosa next week.

Yale economist Stephen Roach has been predicting imminent collapse of the US dollar for at least 15 years. His latest is on offer at the FT. Apologies for paywall. He may be right this time, but right like a stopped clock and not due to any kind of theoretical validity or rigor to his analysis. Among other things, this piece lacks any kind of causal explanation for how a drop in the net savings rate in the US as a percentage of GDP (which is not that big a drop, actually, despite his alarm) somehow translates to a US dollar crash. He also conflates private sector savings with federal governmental savings without acknowledging how one offsets the other (governmental dissavings is, by definition, spent into the private economy). And to talk of dollar crashes without referencing the USD-based oil market and military control of the Straits of Malacca and Hormuz is to miss the point of where our "exorbitant privilege" comes from.

The strength of the USD comes from the US Navy (eichengreen, "exorbitant privilege".

[The Critic]

Stopped at mabs around 9 pm and not 1 lady.

Mab's usually does not get going until much later at least 11 PM+ at best. Sunday-Wednesday can be pretty weak just depends, Thursday-Saturday better. Generally it's a tossup I only go after midnight after all else has failed.

Good luck.

I brought Monique back today to Meier, and on the uber ride back to Metro Sans Pena, I dropped into Ann Massagen.

I paid Monique 400 r for two pernoites. I also pick up nice food and drinks (250 r) at the restaurant at p6 barra (the one at P7 is better).

Cost is 130 r for 1 h, 90 r for half hour, and 10 r discount for cash.

Those are good prices.

I did the appresentacao (go ahead correct my spelling), and there were 6 girls, ranging from 4 to 8.

The top one was a loira.

I asked if there were any negra negra negra ninfetas, and the answer was no.

I went and got a acerola juice at the corner restaurant where so many of us have dined after the walk down to Annes and the other prive which is not open (the one at 340 street address).

On the walk down to anne's I did go by the street market, and picked up a half KG of salmon at a good price.

I took the metro back to jardim oceanico, and caught an uber back to Transamerica.

Bad uber karma? Three times in a row a car with the same last two digits as the designated placa, and then two times again, on the third canceled uber of the very short trip.

I need to find a new room in Transamerica.

The spring is bringing longer days and the holidays soon, and supply and demand appear to be squeezing me. Wish me luck.

The thesis is there will be some volatility during the US elections, followed in the short term by weakening of the USD. When vaccines become widely available and normalcy comes back expect the real to weaken. As for inflation in the country it acts as a tax on middle class. Lower real is good for the exporting country to meet its budget demands as always. The only way forward is to support the rich and then convince them to share their wealth one way or another, and only in this particular order. The alternative is a socialist chaos, which by the way is not good for this p4 p hobby.

One way or another? Poor people are more generous than rich people. The issue is to get the rich to establish employment generating businesses to provide work for the poor. Regarding the alternative, the Nordic style socialism seems to have been more damaging to our hobby than the Cuban variety. No one goes to Scandinavia to monger.

Whose "thesis" is that? Really the decline of the BRL vs USD is 100% about oil prices. BRL, RUB, CAD, MXP all declined vs USD with fall in oil prices. Currencies from countries with few oil reserves JPY, EUR remain stable.

Your currency projections are seemingly precise. Brazil has been one of the hardest hit countries so I don't know why a widely available vaccine would weaken the Real. I have no idea why volatility during the US elections would be followed by a weakening of the USD. First, the certainty of having an newly elected leader is typically good for a currency. Second, it takes two currencies to tango. Does USD weaken versus Gold, Euro, Chinese Renmimbi and / or Brazilian Real? It's possible for USD to be weak and Brazilian Real to be weaker.

Monique and I are netflixing and chilling.

I came once today (she's on her period), twice last night, still haven't paid her since she came over Sunday.

We are watching some awesome flick on netflix about African hookers.

Speaking of which.

Great netflix watching is. Fill in the blanks.

My girls always like terror, so.

Hostel III.

I spit on your grave (always makes me a little nervous when my pernoite likes a movie about a rape victim who seeks revenge and castrates the rapists).

Diary of a brazilian hooker (or something like that).

I like spy flicks. But the chicks like horror, like explicit horror like saw. Tells you what kind of environment they come from.

I cue up some kink.com video -- boundgangbangs with kira noir or ana foxxx or lea lexis (the black chicks like seeing white girls gang banged by black guys, vice versa).

Oh, yeah, my last great insight is.

Watch porta dos fundos on youtube to.

Learn brazilian Portuguese.

The episode "sobre mesa" is great.

I was in caixis and was joking about sobre mesa out in the street with nina the other day.

I actually got not only nina but also the staff at the pharmacia to laugh out loud at me yelling theatrically, "meu esposa, por sobremesa, quiero melancia".

The exchange rate has gone from 2.16 in 2006 to 5.62 today.

Does it stay at this level until. A vaccine? After the election?
