Let us know how you make out, you'll need to purchase health insurance valid in Brazil for the duration of your trip to treat COVID-19 if needed.

Interesting that they make this decision considering the current Covid-19 situation in Brazil. I'm happy I'm not in Brazil right now. Imagine if I would pass by 20 prives in one day and kiss over 100 girls on the cheeks, riding on crowded buses and metros (of course, Uber is an option). Social distance must be impossible for Rio-mongers.
I wonder if the prives have changed their hygienic routines? In Belprazer or Dudas, does 20 girls present themselves wearing face masks? What about blowjobs and face masks? Maybe somebody can tell? It seems the only monger who reports from Rio is Vagabundo1.

I think it's impossible to monger and practice social distancing at the same time. I guess maybe if you watch them strip and play with themselves from six feet away. But I don't think that's what any of us are planning.
It seems that for most, all virtuous thoughts of observing social distancing are forgotten when pussy comes into play.

I agree. As long as someone is not lying or stealing or getting violent, I'm not going to judge their "wallet" decisions. I have no idea what their situation may be. You seem like you're very upfront when dealing with girls and IMO that's a good thing.

As we navigate through COVID-19, I have tried to patronize businesses and individuals who are struggling, not taking advantage of their special deals and paying cash.
Maybe it just struck me that with all the personal tragedies and suffering, that once again, someone only thought about themselves and their wallet.

Cases and deaths will drop to low numbers, just like what happened in places which also has been seriously affected. That's what happed in Wuhan, North of Italy and New York City for example. If the spread of Corona goes on like it does now, Brazil might even reach herd immunity, or at least a degree of immunity within the population, that will slow down the pandemic very much. And especially in the regions that are most affected, like Sao Paulo and Rio for example. I think the situation will be very different, and better, as we will be getting closer to the summer in Brazil. If it will be good enough for tourists to want to come back remains to be seen. If a vaccine will be available like next year or so, I hope it will help the situation not only in Brazil but also in the rest of the world. Let's hope a vaccine will be available sometimes next year.
I want to plan my next trip to Brazil but I don't know when next because Brazil has became a no 2 hotspot of diseases right now. No. 2 in the world for covid-19. It is a changed world. I used to monger around in Brazil now I am a lawyer in UK and own few transport companies. But I am going back to USA. I'm USA citizen became transfer to UK for study purpose but now. I did LLb and now I'm 2 exams left LLM. I was best student of M A finance was trying to my Ph. The BUT decided to change venue. I got properties in4 counties I'm successful. But the point is what is the futre of TERMA. I'm very scared. I loved HELP gone now TERMA gone? What are we going to do?

In Rio, I was known as the guy who walked into the kitchen and handed out money to the cooks at my favorite churrascaria. When an owner of an apartment in Rio tried to go around Bobby and rent the apartment to me directly, I turned her down. Been known to tell suppliers their prices were too low and that I would be paying more because I wanted them around for the long term. Same goes for contractors to whom I paid bonuses that were not part of the contracts.

I live in a 45 meter square studio flat (with lots of big windows) in Sao Paulo. Needed a cleaning lady, my real estate guy recommended one. She came by took a look at the place, gave me a quote for real $100 / per once a week visit for the estimated 3 hours work to clean the place. Told her no, I'll pay you real $300/ per visit! We closed the deal at that! My real estate guy told me she has two kids and works evenings as a hairdresser.

If you hang out with rich Brazilians you will realize that not all Brazilians are cheap.

Yep, that part stopped me in my tracks too, even if his other observations make perfect sense.

A few of my friends who are in Rio now made a few points a few months back.
First, this covid thing is probably leading to a depression, or at least a recession.
Second, Brazilians are used to living in poverty.
So, it is safer, ironically, to be in Brazil than rich world countries like America.
I wholly agree with this.
Being frugal is not a bad thing, actually it is good.
In the Transamerica hotel I live in all the girls quote 450 but will accept 300. But, I bring in my regulars, and destroy those economics. I pay 300 or 400 pernoite. One or two orgasms at night, one in the morning.
Brazilians are great people. They are super fit, happy, work out alot, are fun to be around.

Monday mongering on, and
I got up with the Rio wife and fucked to evilangel.com fashionistas.
We did go check out the Riviera condominium. The 2 bedroom apartment with a balcony had no refrigerator, no oven and no bed for couples. It also was quoted at 4400 r, and would not be ready by 29 July. So I am in transamerica for another month, hoping the pool will be open.
Praca olavo bilac 28 sala 507 and sala 409 had 2 garotas each, a 4 or 5. These are standard prives, with some quickie pricing going down to 40 r.
Boate 13 at the same street was decent midday when I visited.
A few weeks ago I visited prives in RB156, each had 2 girls each, a 5 or 6.
The hottest girls I am seeing are in transamerica (av gastao senges 395), just go to the reception and they are constantly walking in and out. The hottest say they have boyfriends or husbands. Some real 9 or 10.

That's a good point, and the original post by Exec Talent, who is a solid contributor to the board was smart too.
Some parts of the article I found true.
That said, being cheap is a characteristic I see in almost all Brazilians. I don't see that as a bad thing, just a reflection of the realities of being in Brazil which is a very primal place, back to the jungle.

Of course the woman may not find the bickering attractive and may find the term cheap bastard acceptable, until she is the one that is expected to pay. That is when you find out who the real cheap bastard is. It is easy to freely spend money that belongs to others as most women have the pleasure of doing. It is great not having the pressure to impress anyone.

Not Cancelled per the Mayor. It'll be different, but not in Copacabana Beach. There will be fireworks. They're still deciding How, what and where. Wait and See.

There is one sentence that sums this up, pretty much the whole Brazilian society is about living for today and worry about tomorrow later. They want to live now and be happy now and that is the beauty of their culture but also makes future plans unstable / unreliable.
I've told many Brazilians about the concept of 401 k and they just don't buy in to it, they rather spend the money now and worry about future later.
Plenty of GDPs want to save money and buy a nice car and house / apt. However, they have no thought about how much they need to maintain a nice car or house. I've seen the same girls in the same boite working there for over 10+ years.

Above is a link to a very, very insightful and on target essay about the differences between Brazil and America. Without agreeing or disagreeing with the Exec Talent or the other fellow ISG members, I will just say that I think the author in his piece, which I quote below, absolutely nails it. While I agree with Exec Talent's sarcastic point that women hate a cheap bastard, I also absolutely hate that all or most Brazilians are super cheap with Americans, or all foreigners, yet, especially now are so damn desperate for our dinheiro. Mark Manson nails it in that the normal Brazilian justifies this selfishness for her community, while absolutely despising and looking down on all outside her little circle.
Dear Brazil,
Carnaval is over. The "real" new year is finally beginning. And tomorrow, I will be leaving, returning to my country.
Like most gringos, I originally came to Brazil for the parties, the beaches, and the girls. Little did I know that I would spend the majority of the next four years within your borders. I would learn a lot about your culture, your language, your customs, and by the end of this year, I will marry one of your girls.
It's no secret that there are big problems in Brazil. There's a political crisis, an economic crisis, constant safety concerns, huge income inequality, and now with the outbreak of Zika, apparently a health crisis..
