Posts: 1Pornstars?
Hey guys,
I'm not a 100% on the etiquette on the site yet so since this is the general forum I'll just have to beg your indulgence. I just wanted to know if there any/many Brazilian pornstars offering their services in the Rio area?
Do you guys ever try them? Is there a particular place where I might find some?
Such as Natasha here.

I would not recommend exchanging large sums of money at the airport. Most of these guys are honest but there is also the risk of someone passing counterfeit notas.

is often cited here, Oanda actually will give you a rate closer to what is offered at the cambios. If you don’t speak Portuguese, write down the rate you hope to get on a piece of paper. Have the money you want to exchange ready and when you are approached show the guy the paper. He will pull you over to the side and count out the money in front of you all the while trying not to be too obvious.
For laughs, you can stop at the bank counter after you exit customs. The AMEX exchange (located in the terminal) is not too bad if you do not feel comfortable exchanging with the jumpsuit guys. I just exchanged money with them on my recent trip and got a rate comparable to the Copa cambios. I do not recommend exchanging a lot of money, just enough to tide you over until you can make a more secure cambio or ATM run.

- Mercure Vila Olimpia: 150 RS/day ; Mercure Pinheiros: 160 RS/day ; Mercure Moema: 155 RS/day (there is no low or high season in SP)
You talk out of your ass, as usual.

The fact that you dress like a slob and that your favelada GFs accepts it (which says a lot) means nothing. Eveywhere in the world, from Antinanarivo to Jakarta, through Curitiba and Vladivostok, well-groomed girls require the company of correspondingly well-groomed guys. No "emerging country" girl with a bit of taste and of self-respect wants to be seen making out or holding hands with a shittily-dressed foreigner. But this doesn't concern your target group obviously, so I don't know why I even bother to explain you those things.

Nowadays, a good cambio has the tourist exchange rate. The private guys should have an even worse rate. Now the best cambios downtown or in Copacabana give a little better rate
Often the bank gives the best rate. Depends.

And while you have to go around flashing shining accessories, expensive clothes and cash to try to get some pussy (you are that douche right?), I have a beautiful young mulata lady that takes care of all my needs (and she brings around her friends for me too). She is making me "aware" of all I need to know about Latin culture.
Good luck in world travels big spender, I am loving my great "boring" life here. And, why yes, I think I did see a little "quibbler in the DNA" I left on my lady's belly early this morning. Ride 'em Yankee!

One may ask whether it's not cheaper for them to go to Europe than vacationing in their own country (which I believe).Last edited by Admin; 06-12-10 at 02:48.

Anyway hope you demonstrate more craftiness and awareness in latin culture to get girls in Brasil. But you remain a boring quibbler in your DNA, don't you ?
BTW just grimly negotiated with Korston Hotel in Moscow and got a very good rate (long stay) at 4000 rub taxes and bkft included. From a rack rate of 8000 rub + taxes.

Room was so basic ($30-40 in Thailand), wouldn't have stayed there if price was 200 reales. Granted its Corpus Christo weekend, but another illustrative example. Off to Pantanal next and prepared for similar.
