Rio de Janeiro Reports

[WyattEarp]

Do many of the restaurants in the tourist spots have staff who speak English. I'd love to learn Portuguese but I'm hopeless at picking up languages.

The question of language is a little over-analyzed here. Smartphones make life easier abroad. As I recently posted in the SP thread, global travelers should pick up a language book or visit some language websites for an hour or two. In the Brazil category here, there is thread devoted to sexual and other words and phrases.

As far as food, Copacabana and Ipanema are world class tourist destinations. You can literally find any food you desire. Menus are usually in both Portuguese and English near the beach. If you are one of those eaters that has to have everything prepared a certain way, you're probably fucked. But hey, that's why you're in Rio.

Hi everyone, Just wondered if any of you regulars speak very little Portuguese or none at all? If so do you still enjoy Rio? I'm a very picky eater. Do many of the restaurants in the tourist spots have staff who speak English.

When I first came to Rio in 2001, I didn't speak any Portuguese, (but I do now,) and I had no issues in communicating. The restaurants will have someone who can speak enough English, some even have menus in English. You'll get a rough idea even if it's lost in translation. At smaller places, may not. There are Rio regulars, who have been coming here for years and Still do Not speak Portuguese. BTW, Any chica you run into, that speaks English, will be a Hardened Pro unfortunately. I think, Being a Picky eater may be More of a problem for you. But there are McD's, BK, Outback and other US based food joints to keep your belly full. Safe travels.

Hi everyone,

Really want to try Rio in September but worried about the language barrier.

Been to Colombia and whilst I did enjoy it, I found language barrier frustrating. I didn't find it too much of a problem with the girls, because I only like ST and used Google translate but had trouble everywhere else. For example I found it difficult trying to communicate with the cleaner and getting my laundry done etc but mainly whilst ordering food in restaurants as unfortunately I'm a very picky eater.

Thanks for any advice, really appreciated.

One my few visits to Brazil, I spoke very little Portuguese. I hired a driver and translator and made my way around that way. Next, I hired a Brazilian driver who spoke only Portuguese since by this time I knew the basics. I enjoy Brazil more now that I am fluent and don't have those sad moments when you at dinner with a beautiful woman and you can't even talk with her. But, I still enjoyed Brazil when I did not speak Portuguese, so go for it.

My advice about the restaurants is to use Google and Bing to translate your preferences and print them out for the waiters and staff. The translators have gotten very good, especially with simple terms. A long time ago, I met a beautiful French Canadian on a beach in Florida and told her to stay put while I ran to the bookstore and bought a French-English dictionary. She thought it was sweet. Hotels have English speakers, sometimes the restaurants also. Do not expect anyone else to speak English other than receptionists at the terma.

All girls dress in white, mostly colorful thongs underneath. All are shaved and very pretty.
The place is easy to find, and the reception is sympathetic.

Recommend!

I think I have finally been to most of the casas in Centro and now am making my way down to zona sul and barra. I visited COPA 583 for the first time 2 days ago. Not a bad place. They actually have a nice room where all clients go to to wait for the presentation (like the clinicas in sao paulo). The selection of girls are decent, mostly 6-7, and they all seem very professional. COPA 583 reminds me of Bel Prazer for some reason. I have a hunch that they are owned by the same owner. The white tops and leggings are nice and give the casa a more professional look. But I personally prefer no dress code. I love seeing girls in their individual underwear and lingerie. I even got surprised by a couple girls who decided to go topless. LOL.

I also recommend this place. The overall experience didn't feel rushed and the receptionist wasn't pushy at all.

[Nordico]

I go to VM practically every week.
VM, however, definitely not for everyone!

VM is my spot.

Who could resist a good deal.

[FadeDead]

Visited about 6 months ago, about 6 times in total.

They had about 6 girls available and about 10 girls total.

All girls dress in white, mostly colorful thongs underneath. All are shaved and very pretty.

Tried Bia, Bianca, Dana, Violet, etc.

The place is easy to find, and the reception is sympathetic.

Recommend!

I guess that means you live in Rio?

If I am not wrong, he lives in Brazil and Colombia.

[Bravo]

I think I remember her from the Help days when she was in her early 20's. She used to dress slutty and hung around with her crew of few other girls. It sad how these ex-Help ladies passed their prime. I bet all the Help / TA ladies are in their late 30's or 40 by now. Their shelf life is only about 15 years and there is no retirement benefit package. Only really smart girls are able to understand this phenomena and try to save as much money as they can during their prime youthful years so it can support them financially once the looks and youth fades out. I bet she got teenage kids by now. I saw a documentary where pornstars made a lot of money during their prime but end up broke at the age of 40 and started working on a minimum wage.

Its incredible how many mongers married these women after their 10-15 year careers in the Hoe triangle. A few years ago, it seemed like every other month, another help girl was getting married to a Chicago police officer and moving to the states. I can't tell you how many former girls I have in my whatsapp that are married and living in the states. (About 90% of the ones I know were still living the same copa lifestyle. Either they danced in a strip club, became escorts or would make side money by calling up former clients and fucking them for money while their husbands are at work).

Only once in a blue moon do I see former Hoe Triangle girls still working in Copa, very rare. Hell, at the end if the day, they can always go back to the favela and marry a brazilian.

Great reports dude. VM is my spot. I always thought the chicks on Av Atlantica was a bad idea, but since I now know a couple of chicks that work there should I feel different? Maybe it is because I am used to seeing chicks I have no desire to fuck along with some transvestites that turn me off from the idea. This is a picture of a chick that I posted about a couple of months back. I used to fuck her 15 years ago from Meia Pataca/Help, and recently ran into her working Av At. She looks much better on this picture from her whatsapp than she did the night I ran into her. She is like 37 now.

[Balboa]

VM itself is actually very safe. I have been there as late as 11 pm by myself. The dangerous part is getting to and from VM. If you go right before or a little after dark, its still pretty safe to take the public bus. But if you go there, say at 9 pm or later, its better to take uber. That's just my opinion from my limited experiences of VM.

I go to VM practically every week.

I've been out there at times till 4 am, LOL.

I know many of the girls there, the Tias, and taxi guys.

I Uber in and Taxi out, no problem.

The taxi guys there are cool.

One of them's wife runs a little bar at VM that has nice, air conditioned rooms, with clean sheets.

I almost always take the girls there.

Fun!

VM, however, definitely not for everyone!

[Mr Enternational]

I won't go to Vila Mimosa and especially alone. I have been there before but I just feel safer in Centro.

I've been so tempted to pick up one of the Avenue Atlantic street walkers who are flagging down cars but I know it's a very bad idea. Saw one that was really interesting the other night but never talked to her because I don't trust myself sometimes.

2 a 2 are. Visconde de Caravelas, 176 - Botafogo.

Club 114 is Rua the Conceio 114 in Centro. There's also Rua the Conceio 116 right next door.

Last time I was in 4 x 4 was I think in 2004? I've always had a great time in there but the price keeps me from being a regular since I know I can have just as much fun for far cheaper. But I like to treat myself every once an awhile and the facilities are a little better than Uragiuana 24. So I do plan to make an appearance. I used to go to Luomo in Copa all the time. Miss that place.

Never been to a swing club and I don't know how I feel about it but I do want to experience it at least once. Shoutout to Exec Talent for providing the website link.

I'll be adding Club 114 and 116 onto my list of places to visit. I went to Uruguiana 210, Rua Alfandega 119, and Praca Olavo Bilac, 13 last night but being a Saturday night they were all pretty much dead. The few ones that were present were old hardcore pros.

The last time I banged a girl in Copacabana was back when HELP was still open. I still remember one night a 40 some year old lady approached me as I was walking along Avenida Atlantica. She had on a long coat which she opened up and I saw she had lingerie underneath. It was quite funny. But yes, you are right to be cautious. You can never be too cautious in Brazil.

I used to do the same like you, mostly go to the cheaper 2nd tier and trash boates and only once in a while go to 4 x 4 to treat myself. But now I have completely changed my mindset. I no longer care about money as much as I used to. I am still frugal with everything else in life but when it comes to women and sex, I don't really care how much I spend now as long as I feel satisfied at the end of each day. I only get to live once.

I've been to southeast Asia quite a few times and each time I go I'd hope I would find a girl that would change my mind. I love visiting southeast Asia. I was in Cambodia recently staying mostly in hostels and I met some really cool people from all over the world. France, Belgium, Canada, UK, and of course the US. But the Asian girls just don't do it for me. I'm not nearly as attracted to them as Latina girls. And don't even get me started on how much more better the Brasileiras are in bed compared to Asian girls.

[RioHeart]

That swing club experience sounds amazing. What were the ages of the girls in that swing club? Do you still have the address?

2 a 2 are. Visconde de Caravelas, 176 - Botafogo.

There were about 50 to 60 couples with the majority 25 to 40 yrs old. There were only a few younger and a few older. My girl said the best nights are Wednesday and Friday and if they have a live band on Saturdays. She told me that Mistura Certa Clube (R. Vinte de Abril, 9 - Centro) swing club is better. It was because of my girl I had the experience I did. She was really into dancing and showing off those amazing tits on the club dance floor downstairs. Once we got upstairs me and her were getting groped by all kinds of chicks. After awhile we locked ourselves in a 'private' room and she told me were not leaving until I give her an orgasm with my tongue. What I didn't notice was all the glory holes in our room and then all the people watching us until we were dressing to leave. There was one lady with her hand through the hole beckoning us but I was too tired by then.

I'm not familiar with with Club 114 and 116. Can you give me the address to them?

I was in Club 119 and I think I saw your Rafaella but she was really busy with a group of guys.

Club 114 is Rua the Conceio 114 in Centro. There's also Rua the Conceio 116 right next door.

Not all of those trash places are advisable.

I'd stay away from Club 115 next to 113 and also Club 3 and 04 on are. Leandro Martins. Wuhh pretty scary chicks.

I won't go to Vila Mimosa and especially alone. I have been there before but I just feel safer in Centro.

Also have you been to 4 x 4 yet.

But I like to treat myself every once an awhile and the facilities are a little better than Uragiuana 24. So I do plan to make an appearance. I used to go to Luomo in Copa all the time. Miss that place.

I have planned my retirement for awhile now. I am down to a 5 x 20 storage unit and a mail service to assist me. For some reason Latina girls really like me and I really like them. I'm always appreciative and never disrespectful. Love all of the different body types in South America. I do know I won't be going back to the USA pussy prison any time soon. Getting laid about once every 3 days is just right for me. I may make a pilgrimage to South East Asia but it will be much later in my travels and just as much about Asian food as it is the girls.

Rioheart.
