Stupid Shit in Brazil

[Xpartan]

It seems that I'm total opposite of you. I spent 2840 euros on my business class ticket to So Paulo in October-November. I think if I were 15 cm shorter or 20 years younger, I would travel in the economy class, but I'm quite tall and over 50 and therefore I prefer spending the 16 hours of travel each way comfortably. Another thing to consider is the jet lag, which you guys traveling from the US, don't have to suffer. It helps when you can sleep properly during the flight.

I usually stay in Novotel or Mercure hotels which I think are very good, but not luxurious like Renaissance or other 5 star hotels. I found a really good Black Friday deal and I paid only 417 euros plus 160 euros worth of points for 16 nights in a Mercure hotel in Jardins in their best room, which is very spacious, breakfast included. That means I paid 26 euros cash per night. The lowest I have paid was 18 euros per night in Mercure Times Square in Moema last year. I have also booked Novotel in Belo Horizonte for three nights. That was more expensive.

I will probably visit Scandallo few times during my trip, but I prefer going to Bomboa and Casarao. I have always found what I have been looking for for BRL 400-500 and then I have the Twitter girls and couple of girls I know from my previous trips whom I pay something similar.

I'm not rich, but I like small luxuries like flying in the business class and I can afford it. Flying business class is like Brazilian garotas. You get addicted very easily.

There isn't any right or wrong way to travel and monger, even if some people here tell otherwise.

That's true, there aren't right or wrong way, at least for occasional travelers like me. If I was traveling every month (like I did at one point in my life), I would feel differently.

But now that I only travel 2-3 times a year, I just refuse to stay in shitty hotels or apartments, or save on good food. Hell, I've saved tons of travel money during Covid, LOL.

As to Business Class, I agree it's addictive, but I only book them on miles when I can. I just don't feel comfortable to blow a few K to feel comfortable (pun intended) for 10 hours.

Spending on pussy is another story. If I can have the time of my life in Rio for 150-200 Reals, my greedy self really hates me spending 500, unless there is an added value, like a terma environment.

This is why I don't like mongering in Europe. I love Europe, but I sparingly engage while there. Every time I see a 200-euro price tag, my brain involuntarily starts calculating how much Brazilian pussy I could have for that kind of dough, LOL.

So, we are alike when it comes to airfare and hotel preferences. Oh, also same for the garotas too LOL!

[Nordico]

So, that is how I prioritize my travel expenses based on my preferences and constrained only by my finances. I never spend more than I can afford to pay off on the due date. Nobody has exactly the same preferences or the same constraints. So, we all plan differently, but we all want to have the best time that we can afford.

. .Regardless if I agree with him or not, I'm sure he can defend himself, but like I said, cute.

Thanks. Well, in hindsight I did exactly what I was complaining about: Wasting bandwidth, attacking another poster, while adding nothing.

Rather than defending anyone, I meant it more as a thank you to members (such as yourself) who frequently post good shit, regardless if I agree with it or not, as you say.

[Nordico]

This thread should be called Stupid Shit in the Brazil Forum. Most of Vagabundo's posts, which he kindly takes the time to write, are funny. And every one of them contain useful information. As opposed to Gordo's, which are neitherOnly fixation on Vagabundos posts..Haha. Who's jealous?

This is cute. Vagabundo has his own "defensor del pobre". I think there is no need for the fanboys to come to his defense. Regardless if I agree with him or not, I'm sure he can defend himself, but like I said, cute.

There are many ways to monger in Brazil. I always appreciate all the different perspectives. I also enjoy the levity.

Sometimes the zeal has become aggressive and intimidating. So of course, there's going to be some push back. The Board should be open to differing point of views.

Here we go again with the jealousy.

You've contributed the technique of showing your tests to get BBFS.

I would add showing your tests in Porto is even better.

Further, if you go to 4 x 4, then you can walk 200 meters to emporio de banho.

The girls are the same!

Top Vila girls go to 4 x 4 or on photoa in a week.

The tier 1 prive girls and 4 x4 girls are the same. It's just which hours they work.

The 4 x4 girls and perola negra girls are the same. Penelope has been at both, on any given night.

It's all just 50% deductible on corporate taxes meals and entertainment anyway. Right?

Here we go again with the jealousy. You're so jealous of Anaggie and always calling him out on what he spends, especially that one night at 4 x4. You were obviously floored and jealous that you could never do that. He can pay for R1K overnights, meanwhile you're digging through prives or R50 favela rats!.

I bet you're some military reject living off a modest pension (definitely not a retired Swiss Naval Commander from Lugano, Switzerland LOL). I've met many of your types while in Colombia. Trying to stretch that mongering budget as far as you can on that modest income. The difference is that the other retired military mongers I've met aren't delusional into thinking they're some slick market makers in mongering. This isn't a stock market. This isn't war. It's just a hobby where we can pay for what we want, if we can afford it.

If you say so.

It's not just me.

There were 4 ISGers out at Barra, Posto 2, on Saturday at Classico Beach Club. It's a free market. That's where Perola Negra is. The girls there on the beach were super hot and worth it just to enjoy for itself.

Moreover, it was Safado69 who recommended Transamerica in Barra.

And it was Rio that built the metro line out here.

I am just reporting what is happening.

Yeah too bad that certain monger can't just stay on the Rio board instead of invading this board with irrelevant info. He just can't help but try to be the Pied Piper of Rio with his constant pushing of Perola Negra as a top tier terma and Barra as the place to be even though everybody knows it's a logistical nightmare for tourists.

I fucked a Brazilian girl 19 years old today to wake up as I have for the last 800 straight days.

I don't give a fuck about you or anything that you do! Hahaha! Bags with condoms packed? Check! Boarding passes on phone? Check! Because I got a million trillion things I'd rather do than be fucking with you! LMBAO! LOLOLOL!

The difference is I am in Brazil posting about Brazil daily, and you're in El Paso posting about Brazil daily, looking forward to your next 3 day trip every 3 months or so.

As for the other comments, the monger who comes in and goes to 4 x 4 is fucking the same girls at Vila Mimosa. Some of the girls from VM are better than the 4 girls you paid 3200 for at 4 x 4, you just don't know the market well enough to realize it.

If you say so.

And how is this any different from you stroking your keyboard daily putting down other posters who don't do it "your" way?

Those who don't visit VM or Perola Negra.

Those who don't wear vasco or bombeiro shirts or carry bombeiro wallets.

Those who don't fish for the best trash in VM.

Those who choose to stay in Copa / Impanema / Leblon rather than Barra.

I could go on. But you get the point. There are other posters with as much or even more knowledge than you about how they do it in Rio or SP and they contribute without putting others down about their ways.

I am sure you heard this when you were a kid. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Still applies today!!

[GreenBud]

Mentally, I had associated the word Gringo with the people who "Who murdered indigenous people, raped their women, enslaved their men and pillaged their resources!" I would say "My people didn't do those things to you, don't ever call me a gringo, that's offensive!" and the brasilians would look at me like I had 3 heads and try to explain what the word meant to them.

No matter how many times they tried to explain to me that Gringo didn't mean the same thing to them as the historical reference that it meant in the US, I wasn't trying to hear it.

Huh? What you described are the Spaniards.

Gringo from the Mexican perspective are the ones that stole all or parts of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas.

[Anaggie]

I did move it here.

You keep stroking your keyboard about Brazil despite not having been here for 1000+ days.

Give us another dozen posts about hotels that don't exist!
