Manaus

Yes, the room prices are high, but if you research Trip Advisor, the prices are higher and for dumps. Even more, there are no rooms left for Italy-England and USA-Portugal. For the other games the prices are the same or higher than ours and the quality frightening.

In reality, this listing is a test. This house was meant to be the residence of my friend, he doesn't even live in the house, he lives in Centro. While in construction, it was used as a weekend getaway for family and for parties, events for friends and associates. We also have had quite a few surubas when his wife is not around.

He has never been in the hospitality business. The idea came along the way to rent it for short and long term and what better test than the World Cup. Now that the house was finally finished, the house has been equipped with everything new: the furniture, the beds, the linens, the 2 home theaters, the 6 LED TVs, appliances, large screen projector, etc, etc.

As I said, I have been checking on the status of the hotels in Manaus and they are booked solid for England-Italy and USA-Portugal and the few available are going fast and asking for ridiculous prices for, excuse the expression, garbage dumps.

But thanks for your opinion because I also think it is somehow overpriced and I'll let him know.

I saw you've changed from renting the whole place to renting rooms. First I almost spit out my breakfast when I saw your price, R$1000/night. Just for fun I checked out airbnb and your prices ain't bad considering the high standard on your place. On airbnb they are trying to rent out really shitty apartments at extreme prices. Good luck and have fun!

You wouldn't believe the pieces of crap being rented for R$1, 000-3, 000. Take a look:

Now, it'd be an ideal location for a festinha with a bunch of garotas from forros and Remulos...

I saw Sperto's recent helpful update on Manaus.

Wondering if I could get some other advice from people actually on the ground in Manaus. I have always wanted to go there to see the jungle, as well as have fun on the side. I found some tickets for the June 22 USA Portugal game, and wondering whether to pull the trigger.

Going during the World Cup could make the trip better (added experience of seeing a WC game) or worse in terms of hassle. I know that obviously hotel prices will be up. But how ready is Manaus in terms of infrastructure for the games? Is it going to be a big hassle (can't get anywhere, water and electricity shortages, etc) such that I should wait until after the games?

I could go now. OR I could wait until Feb and link it to a Mardi Gras trip to Salvador.

Thanks in advance.

Sperto,

Thanks for the info. I plan on booking a hotel before my wingman and I arrive in Manaus. I'm live in NYC, I'm use to and like taking cabs.

Very nice house, PMR. A house with good potential for parties. Imagine visiting a bunch of the best forró clubs in Manaus and hand out invitations to all the most beautiful girls. I guess the rent will be a small fortune during the World Cup.

Hi everyone / moderator:

My best friend has a huge 6500 sq ft luxury house which he wants to lease / rent for the WORLD CUP with 5 rooms near the FIFA FAN FEST in Manaus. I would like to know if I can publish here in the ISG the characteristic of the house and the terms.

If not, can I publish in another thread here in the ISG?

Can anybody help me where else I can look for potencial customers? I am looking to target Italians, English, Portuguese and Americans fans.

Thanks in advance.

Planning on spending 3 days in Manaus. Can someone tell of a good girlfriendly hotel thats located by all the action? Thanks

The majority of the hotels are in centro. I doubt you'll have problems bringing girls if you pay a extra fee.

Action? If you mean the forró clubs they are spread out over the city, almost none in centro. Prepare yourself for taxi-rides.

If you mean action as P4P, the main attraction, Remulos, is located close to Teatro Amazonas. It's a 5 min quick walk from downtown centro.

There are lots of hotels in centro. Take a quick walk and choose one you like.

Hello people, I just wanted to share a question sent by a punter and my reply to him. I hope it helps.

Question: "Hello, I saw your post about brazil. I have a settlement coming and I was thinking of living in brazil for awhile. I want to go somewhere besides Rio. I was wondering if you think parts of brazil are good for finding a girlfriend instead mongering? Maybe, Salvador, Recife, Fortaleza or brasilia. Do you know if these places are too violent or too expensive? Thanks.

Answer:

In first place, let me tell you that I have been everywhere in Brasil but only have a good knowledge of Manaus because my beast friend lives there and I've spent a lot of time there. I've been to Fortaleza, Recife, Rio, Salvador and Sao Paulo"

Brazil is good for both, you can monger and you can also get a good, sexy GF. Brazilian girls are very warm, horny, loving, but also can be very, very jealous. In my experience, the easiest city to get non GDP girls is Manaus, you can go to the Malls, street parties, to the dance venues and hook up really quick with a sexy, young local. But you can get normal girls anywhere in Brasil. It requires you doing your part, which is learning some Portuguese before you go and PRACTICING IT.

For living in Brazil, the safest city is Manaus in the Amazon, it has the best indicators in terms of crime and that's a fact. Now, safety is a relative term because most of the time depends on behavior, on people not doing stupid things. Read the section about safety and look for the guidelines at the beginning.

Brazil got very expensive with the rise of their currency. When it was R3 for US$1, was pretty cheap, but now it is quite expensive, however, the currency tends to devaluate which is good news for tourists.

In general, manual service or labor is pretty cheap like mechanics or maids, imports are very expensive like designer clothing or apple stuff, rent is cheaper than the US provided you don't live in Leblon and the best Rio / SP areas. In Manaus rent is very, very low, an apartment in Centro, where my friend lives, maybe around US$200 for a 3/2 townhouse. Food is about the same as the US but with a maid preparing your food ends up being cheap.

Now, I would choose a city where you know people or have friends. If you don't know anybody, then start with a city with a large ex-pat community, make some friends, learn from them and after a while you can go on your own and explore the rest of Brasil.

I hope this helps.

By the way, where are you from? I am from Miami, FL

The club across the street is Dama the Noite. It seems closed at the moment.

ABG, Nicole is a morena with just enough of indian blood to give her a exotic look. Very beautiful girl with a face like a model. The only negative was that she gives CBJ.

I'll have no time to check out the privés in Manaus. Right now I'm very busy having fun with non-pro's. It's getting crazy as they present their amigas who also wants to have sex with a blueeyed gringo as well. All this and dates with forró-girls and horny neighbour girls is almost getting to much.

I leave for Ceará tonight.

Sperto, have a nice trip to Fortaleza and be a happy monger there! Lots of girls at Praia de Iracema and Praia do Futuro.

Memo to self: Get thee to Manaus. Recommendation on where to stay Sperto? Thanks in advance.

Hotel, pousada, motel or apartment. There are many options.
