Rio de Janeiro Reports

[LoveLongTime]

I have been given a lot of advice over the years and here are a few that stick with me.

If it Flys floats or fucks its cheaper to rent.

A flower is freshest after first being picked.

Never go for the best looking working girl anywhere because they are usually the lousiest fucks.

I have tried to follow this advice and in most cases it is spot on though there are always exceptions.

[LoveLongTime]

I checked in with a girl so I can not be positive. Also did that so that it wouldn't be an issue since there is not a likely chance the same person working at check in will be working when I session. They are privately owned apartments so I don't see why there would be a problem.

Thanks, for the video I actually watched that one before I came. I also met a hells angels member at the dealership and after bullshitting for 45 minutes he invited me to their Halloween party but I leave at 7 and the party starts at 9. Sucks but work becons. I have good life insurance, and a don't give a fuck attitude. I have had enough near death experiences not much frightens me anymore. Including being shot at multiple times. Nothing like the sound of bullets going past your head and being close enough you feel the wind off them.

Finally travelbug, I assumed based on your post that was you. I am not sure what time I have been anywhere this whole trip. I have only slept 12 hours in the last 96. It has been a blast. I was invited to party / concert by a cutie on Sunday. Wish I had more time. I usually don't get out until later because I have to talk on Skype with my SO to keep things kosher on that front. She sends me money when I run low on these trips ie. Under $1000. Like I said I tip and sometimes well and it has payed itself back 100 x over in my experience. Got 3 whatsapp contacts today. But I will mention what is appropriate in my report. Rio has been good to me. Apparently I fit in pretty well. I have even been getting compliments on my portuguese that I only had 3 weeks to learn before coming. Thanks guys hope I helped a little. And thanks for the advice and concern.

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.

Thanks for the info. I will try not to leave the hotel when I visit this interesting city.

Always worried about a fire in 4 x4, One narrow staircase escape, lucky no one got killed there.

Firefighters died battling fire.

Straight up Rio rookie and I asked taxi driver to take me to Monte Carlo and he takes me to Casablanca! Not a chick there looked over 21 albeit beautiful but not my type. Any advice on termas with mature and curvy women?

You need to be sure where your going, the taxi will always take you to who ever is going to pay them a commission.

[LatinaLover#1]

Closed due to substantial fire damage (10/2019). No indication it will return.

Not that it really matters, but there is no tunnel between Sheraton and Arpoador.

I stayed at Sheraton 6 years ago during the World Cup, but I could swear there was a short tunnel that would start near a bus stop that was (I think) almost in front of the hotel. No? Is there even a bus stop, LOL?

Well, maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, and it was on a ride to Barra Shopping, or something.

[The Critic]

Any reviews of 4 x 4? A supplier talks about it and says that he wants to take me there next time I am in Rio.

We are dressing for getting Brazilian booty at the beach.

1. chicks always like lifeguards.

2. people generally like and respect firemen.

It's just verbal judo, good defense, psychology.

Are we dressing up for Halloween?

If so; I'm ready!

In the spirit of O'Brien's "The Things They Carried," here is what I carried today, on my bus ride to Duque de Caixis and back to Barra.

Vagabundo's gearlist.

Crocs.

Half inch climbing strap.

SOG seal trident knife to cut replacement strap to repair crocs.

5-11 pants black.

5-11 belt.

And1 boxer briefs.

Local wallet in Brazilian camo.

Local currency less than 100 r.

3 used surf wallets decoys or real $ bank cards.

Carabiners (2).

Motor cycle gloves (ave Riachuelo at av mem de SA).

Lululemon metalvent polo.

Vasco mask.

Do you carry this all in one bag pack? Why? Does it not attract attention?

[TomJackin]

When you arrive at any city, buy fireman's and lifeguard's gear.

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.

This you and I talked on the elevator the other day. I held the door for you!! And we had a quick convo.

Agree the solarium girls some stunners. I went back to Centaurus last night after my TF at solarium they had Halloween night. Centaurus had about 20 girls. TD a super sexh girl. Got her # and hanging with her today back at the hotel.

What is this Cafe Paris you speak of. The one in barra? I also stopped at makkeshan strip club around 10 pm. Before centaurus. Was dead. That was yesterday. What time did you go?
