Gentlemen:

Quick question about Brazilian visas. I have one. It's good for another few years. However my passport is now within 6 months of expiration.

Can I keep using the existing visa? Or does Brazilian consulates require a new one?

Many thanks in advance for any information.

No problem, travel with both passports and you will be fine.

i think he may have potential.

2 things.1. sarkozy looks amused in the pic. is he looking at the girl or at yobama looking at the girl.

2. woohooo. obama gives speeches and apoligizes (yet again), the stock market goes down (yet again). but the exchange with the real is moving in our favor. at least he's having one good affect.

Don't know if this is random or a pattern. I recently found a lot of errors on the bills at the Termas. Seems like this problem is common at all the Termas. For this month alone, I found at least for bills coming out to my favor (I got five drinks - a few for the girls and one for myself but none of that showed up on my bill), then two bills came against me (drinks charged to me but not of me which I called the manager and he corrected that).

Definitely read your bills at Termas.

Does anyone know the current price for Cialis in Copa farmicias?

Currently at any drogaria Pacheco's in Rio Janeiro; two 50 mg package: $49.00 R$ The package of four 50 mg is 86 R$, reais.

I posted this in the SP thread:

You have to change your web browser connection settings and manually set them. If you don't know how, Google search for detailed instructions on how to do that.

I got it to work on Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox using Mexican proxy: 201.147.20.245
port setting: 80 (so i don't have to configure the firewalls.)

It's possible that this proxy may stop working. If so, Google search for a proxy that is anonymous.

FYI: gpguia was hacked into a few months back from outside Brazil. They've blocked access from outside Brazil since then.

I just tried this from UK and worked fine (though slow):

201.92.253.33 port 3128 anonymous

Although I had one from before and it no longer works, so they change them a lot. If one proxy server doesn't work try another one from this list:

(Look for ones that say Brazil).

[Koolkid]

Anybody have a reliable site to access GPguia.net from outside of Brazil please?

Thanks

Truly Christopherd, I'd get more out of a list of proxy IP addresses.

Hey - I know what you mean but please leave me out of it - never said a word, and I'm not the person to ask about proxies. Apart from Bubba's guide and Sperto's maps any other stuff is personal choice. Who's never wasted a few bucks on overhyped stuff when excited about travelling somewhere for the first time? Big deal eh? But given the size and comparative complexity of Rio I'm surprised no-one gets (an also overpiced) Lonely Planet Rio (dirt cheap pirate copies of Lonely Planets in Cambodia btw) so they know in advance subway coverage, distances and so on. But Quackup has just given an exemplary account of doing high end Rio from scratch in a few days. When someone's thinking pussy, getting them to stay on-thread is like saying 'hold on' on a bucking bronco. I've tried it. Doesn't work. Why should I care?

Talk about posts lacking substance!

That book may very well be trash, but we learn nothing about the book from these three blowhards.

Unbelievable

And your not going to learn anything about it from me, since I don't intend to buy it. Why don't you buy it and enlighten us wiseguy.

[Sunset Strip]

Hi everyone,


I'm planning my first trip to Rio N guess what well maybe some of you know it but the book is all about Rio. (don't blame it on Rio) 2009 by Jewel Woods N Karen Hunter very interesting book about men that go to Rio, Well the book was made for the black men but I guess white male too could read the book.

I just buy the book today.

Enjoy

This must be a new edition. The book is ok. A quick read. You will probably enjoy the book since you have yet to experience Rio firsthand. Are you going to read it on the flight? That might be fun!

If you have been to Rio once you will know more than can be derived from this book. The attempt to draw a conncection between a very small percentage of black men (would be same for white) who can afford to travel to Rio, have the time to travel to Rio, and then are so inclined, with black male-female relationships in the US is a stretch!

The parts about pornography/hip hop and black male images of Rio BEFORE they arrive is somewhat informative. But again I say this because this section informs of what some people think of Rio before coming. Once on the ground things change.

A more informative book would be one that focuses on longterm "repeat offenders" who have become disabused of their prior images but continue to "offend", so to speak.

There is actually a much better book about Sosua, DR out there. In fact, I am suspicious that Woods and Hunter looked at that book before penning this one.
Here is the DR book: http://www.amazon.com/What-rsquo-Lov...7072801&sr=1-1

Man I wouldn't pay a squirt of [CodeWord140] for that book. If that book is anything like the Essence article he wrote a couple of years ago than it's nonesense. You are better off reading the trip reports on this site for a better feel of what Rio is all about. He makes it appear as if mongering in Rio is unique to just the blackman, when in fact we are a very small minority there. Certain weeks you might see more blacks guys than usual but not that often. Other races/ nationalities outnumber blacks by far and have been doing this for decades. This tool even caused some problems for some of the fellas with their significant other when the article came out in 2006 or so.

Since you bought it already enjoy it like any other book of fiction, but don't take too much from it as far as good info/intel on what's going on in Rio. Please keep it away from the sistas at home, we have it hard enough here in the states LOL. Unless I found that book in the library or it was given to me, I would be damn to support this dude with book sales after trying to throw the brothas under the bus with that biased hit piece.

Let me know if I'm wrong about the contents of the book since I have not read it, but I have read the article and heard this guy on the radio promoting the book. Also back when this first broke a lot of guys on this and the other monger site wrote into the Essence forum disputing what this guy wrote in the article.

Good luck planning your trip.

I have that bullshit excuse of a book, and trust me you are 100% correct.

It's nothing but sensationalized yellow journalism at it's best(or worst).

Jewel Woods tries to put the brothers out there. The black men that have the means to travel and enjoy what the world offers. The truth of the matter is that the percentage of black men that are able to make such trips are quite small.

Whatever man.....fuck that author and his lame ass book.

[Pelongera]

Before you leave, take that book back and get your money back. That is unless you like reading propaganda.

You would be better off to buy this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Calvin-Hobbes...47016152&sr=8-3

See the example attached. Losers like Jewel Woods are all hype, not substance.

Any day now I expect to see a reality show about making reality shows.
