2008 General Reports

[Perkele]

When drinking beer they made sure to show off the big quantity of empty bottles on the table. A bottle with Johnnie Walker Red Label standing on the table like a trophy.

In many bars its normal that waiters/waitressess don't remove empty bottles. That is how they and customers count what has been consumed.

Normal practice. Not a show off.

Ummmm, that'd be like cricket, with only a few differences. Most important: it takes about 4 hours, not 4 days; in the end somebody actually always wins; nobody is forced to wear the preppy-geeky sweaters; somebody somewhere in the stadium occasionally plays the organ ("da da da Da da DAHHH"), and everybody jumps up and yells "charge"; people stretch after 7 innings and sing a silly song; nobody brings a picnic basket; beer is consumed from plastic cups ... but otherwise kinda the same idea.

Yes its a little like cricket but now they sell the beer in plastic bottles.

I've watched the NL championship series last year at the TV in the lounge of L'uomo, eating from their buffet, having a caipi in my hand, and a hottie sitting next to me, with her hands and lips all over me. Funny thing, though, I can't remember any plays from that game .

LOL....Thank's

[QUOTE=Christopherd]Any big hotel with lots of cable channels I guess.

ps. What's baseball?


A game played with a bat and ball by two opposing teams of nine players, each team playing alternately in the field and at bat, the players at bat having to run a course of four bases laid out in a diamond pattern in order to score.

thanks guys,

tj will be on the ground for four days in late november-early december. as bob says look for reports from centro thermas and miami peep show. those pictures by acenva were inspiring, indeed. and yes, the dollar is rebounding, which will help. but as sprite13, david68, lorenzo imply, rio is too fun of a place to worry about unnecessary bs in the real world.

ticket bought, seats assigned!

The only thing I can think of is to use a visa service like www.zvs.com . You would send your picture, application, passport to them in the mail or UPS or something that is reliable in the Philippines and they would process the paperwork for you in the appropriate Brazilian Consulate. They would then send everything back to you using the same type of reliable insured overnight provider. You might even try to email zvs.com and get their advice as I'm sure they have done this before or email a Brazilian consulate.

I have used www.g3visas.com with excellent results. I think ZVS went out of business about five years ago. Kidding, I'm kidding! Good advice SB/RB.

I have RTFF and I have read various sources on the internet. What is the easiest way for an American citizen to get a visa to Brazil while residing abroad I currently live in the Philippines?

Don't bother about friends: take that damned flight to RJ !
Maybe they are just envious for the opportunity you will enjoy.

Just to motivate you more, in recent days Real dropped comprared to US$ (currently US$ = BRL 2,1), and this will make your stay, and your mongering, even cheaper.
