Keep your hands in your pockets and firmly say no obrigado, and keep a brisk walk, or just cross over to the beach side of the road, along the kiosks.

Posts: 2290Vagabundo too is sorry to hear about that, but concurs with Sperto. Further. That just doesn't happen in Barra. Barra is the real rich, mostly white (unfortunately, it is de facto whites only) area where a broken windows theory of policing results in zero tolerance for property theft like that.
Just search Posto 2, Barra, for places.
Also, just make a little wrist leash out of some parachute cord for your phone.
Phone theft has claimed victims who are air force officers as well as dozens that I alone hear about from ISG-ers every year.
Think prevention. As a rule, in high risk areas, like centro, when I have my cell phone with a wrist leash out, I also have my taser flashlight out. The locals know it is a choque flashlight, and no one wants to get tasered.

I went to Casablanca for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Agreed on the drinks, total rip off. 77 reias for a mixed drink like Red Bull vodka. In terms of the girls, I don't know if there was miscommunication but that $1,000 is ridiculous. I made a huge mistake of getting a room there as I thought it might be like a terma LOL, it was tiny and more like had a couch rather than a bed. Also I'm certain that there's no facility for the girls there to wash themselves, just tiny bathroom as I went in the back. Anyways lesson learnt, never get a room there. The fee to get a room there is $150 reias or you pay $200 reias to the club to take the girl outside, the lady told me whatever you decide with the girl is between you two but these prices were fixed. I'm not sure where this $1,000 reias came from, that's crazy. I wonder if they were trying to rip you off or there was miscommunication. In terms of the girls, the range was like $300 reias to $600 or so I believe depending on which girl was asking, this does not include the $150/200 you pay to the club.

In over 30 years of mongering, the only time I felt wandering hands was one night in BKK when I was walking back to my hotel at 2 am drunk on 9 or more shots of Tequila. I stopped to flirt with 2 SW's a block from my hotel. Even though I was out of it, fortunately I was aware enough to feel a hand attempting to lift my wallet from my back pocket. I stopped her just in time and she apologized. I laughed and told the 2 of them to beat it which they did. I was lucky. The moral of my story is always pay attention to your surroundings and who you allow to enter your personal space.
Anyway, I am looking forward to reading your RJ report. And again, it is too bad about your loss. I do feel your pain. I would not enjoy losing my Samsung S21 Ultra to a pretty pickpocket.

Had a rippin time at one of the termas yesterday (report coming) but word to the wise. Don't walk late night even with a group of guys. No problem with thugs but we were accosted by several pros on our way down Atlantic Avenue. Sounds like no problem right?
Well Two out of the three of us found our phones missing on arrival at hotel! The hands on had been hands IN pockets. Both of us spent half the night changing passwords etc. Mega buzz killer. Just don't walk at night period IMO.

Posts: 10SOLARIUM:
Unlike Whiskeria Cuatro por Cuatro (4 x 4) Solarium would not let me take a photo of the price card. I asked, "What if I want to tell my friends. Do you want me to rely on memory?" to which the guy, there were two women also, somewhat cheekily replied that they could come here and the staff would be happy to tell them all about it. Sigh. So I memorized the one hour pricing and headed out the door to put the details in a note:
Prices in Reales.
(At posting time 100 equals about $27 CAD, $19 USD, 16 Pounds, 18 Euros.).
150 entrada, 180 cabina, 470 the girl = 800.
If you pay everything in cash its 730.
If you pay the entrance in cash when entering you "win," a free drink.
If you pay for the girl with a card it's, I think, 50 more? Sorry. Some info leaked out of my brain as I exited. It's definitely more though.
WHISKERIA cuatro por cuatro (4 x 4):
60 entrance, 310 30 minutes, 430 60 minutes.
As you reported the entrance is waived if you take a girl before 6.
No extra charge for using a card; No discount for using cash.
It's worth noting that 4 x4 (smartly) uses two card processing networks. So if one doesn't work, as was the case with me, the other likely will.
PEROLA NEGRA:
I'd not heard of this place but might check it out. So thanks for mentioning it.
