A room at Mercure Arpoador or Mercure Ipanema costs some 330 BRL (low season), which is 150€, so three times that you paid for the Mercure Rekso.
To compare two Ibis, you can get a room at Ibis Tamarin in Jakarta for 300 000 Rp (27€).

For mongering purposes, I consider JKT superior for quality and service and freebie ops, but Rio wins easily for the overall experience when non-sexual activity options are taken into account.
Jakarta April 2010:
Mercure Rekso Hayam Wuruk - 59 USD/night
Girls at Hotel Travel and similar: 33 USD/hr
Rio June 2010:
Ibis Centro: 91 USD night
Girls at BA85 and similar: 32 USD/hr

Posts: 11I get it
It is good that it is more expensive in Rio and the big cities. I am not interested in that. About girl prices: Not that important to me either. Of course, you can't live. Or get laid on your good looks. But I have seen enough to understand that a month or so in the Southern cities (or San Pao for that matter) would be a good learning experience.

Brasil has priced itself out of the market. That is why you bump more and more into brasilian vacationers in Thailand or Bali now.
They inevitably make a stop in Paris by the way (brasilian tourists literally swarm here), thanks to the looong lasted and firmly embedded francophilie (admiration and love of french culture) of -educated- brasilian people.

Used to be 20-30 US$ 20 years ago. Now over 200 dollars.
So Brazil ain't cheap. But it depends totally on where you live, and how. And how much you spend for girls.
Fortaleza, Natal are much cheaper then Rio. So are Porto Alegre and southern towns. Small towns are even cheaper
I recommend: do NOT buy property, to avoid lawsuits, frauds, etc. Rent and move whenever you want.
I am trying to track down a small town with the following properties
70 000 inhabitants
7 wh.re houses with 30 girls each
2 bedroom house rents for R$ 300
unfortunately the guy did not tell me the exact location, but i will find it. Yes it is 200 miles away from maior cities.
How do your friends live? if you want to pay 3 girls a day, 90 per month, then the girl price is of essence ..........

Posts: 546Sperto - Cachaça
Hi Sperto -
discussing Cachaça is like discussing wine - you are right, there are hundreds of different Cachaças in Brasil and you get from "poison" to fist-rate aged Cachaça everything in the local shops.
May I recommend the Academia de Cachaça in Leblon/Rio for a Cachaça tasting venue? They have approx. 100 different types of Cachaça and they offer to try very very tiny sips of the different Cachaças. - The problem is that after approx. 10 - 15 different Cachaças you do not taste anymore any difference.
