Sao Paulo Reports

The original location is closed and a apt complex to be built. New address pending.

That is disappointing news, as I was planning on visiting Bomboa during my next trip to Brazil. Bomboa was the first Boatel I have been to, and I was looking forward to a return visit in order to reminisce.

Will be closed for about 2 months for a major expansion project.

That is a surprise to me, considering Scandallo is already pretty big and modern. I wonder what they are going to add to Scandallo, as they already have a restaurant, outdoors area, and onsite rooms. The only thing I could think of is an Airbnb-like rooms, where guests can rent them out for a few nights. That way, you are literally right next to the club and can easily bring a girl back if you click well.

Correct me if you think I'm wrong but I believe that Brazil will be the first country to have its sex industry up and running post covid; even before Thailand, Colombia or Mexico.

Mexico is still open. The hard part is getting a hotel room, but you can cross into Mexico freely. I have done it twice in the last 3 weeks.

I may be coming to SP.

Cartman says SP is better than RJ.

My situation is I can pretty much stay in Brazil and play the spread of shorting my property in the US and renting here in Brazil.

I believe it that the talent is better in SP, but I like the beach.

How hard and far is it to get to Santos?

Rovnak, it would be good to see you. Things seem to be opening up.

Oh, yeah, I want to make the best porn in the world.

Ah. Was not aware of the no visa change ypunrptil now. Thanks.

Not a problem, but people with US passports no longer need a visitor visa to enter BR.

I thought I would share my smooth experience for those that read how difficult it was for other people that entered with BR documents.

Signup for important emails for the countries you fly to. There were only international 2 flights out of GRU last night, United and Latam.

It's the flight in situation that we need the latest updates for. Here's a website to bookmark:

This whole mess can't end soon enough.

Sorry that was not clear in your first post that is why I asked for clarification. Any type of visa, even a tourist visa can be considered a "BR document", so "BR document was ambiguous and I was confused, as there have been conflicting reports on this site re travel.

Cheers.

Sounds like American is a bit more generous to their customers than United which had cancelled two flights of mine (thus far) offering only to reschedule without 'penalty' fee, with customer paying the fare differential (that is certainly to be higher). For roundtrips, though, the fares are so front-loaded on the departure leg, it's hardly worth opting for a refund for the return (at least with United) if you can reasonably reschedule.

For traveler information: the Embassies have been pretty good about posting updates.

Airfare on United are getting expensive as they block off seats for social distancing. Gate agent said they are resuming flights from Newark and Chicago sometime in June.

The link I provided is the same one American airlines is providing on their website travelers, as well as the one you provided. As for considering buying a flight, customers are in a good situation considering American Airlines current flexible policy. There is less risk, and more flexibility considering the circumstances.

That site might be useful if was updated, and it doesn't contain the information you need while considering buying a flight. Only way is to check the embassies and consulates direct. Or start by checking the USA State Dept. Site:

On a related topic, even Airbnb is being more flexible with their policies for both hosts and potential guests.

clear perspective on those details. Plus it basically includes information from the majority of countries within the world, not just Brazil. Just scroll down to whatever country you are interested in. https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/int...1580226297.htm.s.

haha, TD is a term the locals use.

Have you test driven your favorite librarian?

I too absolutely love the Brazilian colloquial term 'test drive' and decided long ago to co-opt it as my own...haha.

But speaking of 'librarians', reminds me (back in the day 2004?) of a short thin morena cutie in Fortaleza with average looks and a very nice rack (I won't soon forget), that I lived with for about a month, who was studying to become a history teacher and just loved the library. Well not exactly 'test driving' my favorite librarian as you put it, but close enough...kkk

Thanks for the memories!! I hadn't thought about her in a while...Ahhh, yes that rack of hers!!!...kkk

Liberian girl
You came and you changed my world
A love so brand new
Liberian girl
You came and you changed my world
A feeling so true

"Do you love me"
And he says so endlessly
"I love you, Liberian girl"

Hopefully, in addition to your helpful post, the following link will help others have a clear perspective on those details.

BTW, Brazil has extended there ban on allowing regular tourists from entering Brazil for an additional 30 days from the original closure, which now goes to the 28th of May. That being said, who is to say they may have another extension after that depending on the statistics and the flattening of the curve. Hope this helps.

In my original post I said I gave them my BR document so yes I am in one of those categories.

According to the US consulate in BR, it is extended to May 28 but it does not say May 28 on the BR Consulate website. Need to confirm the date.
