Posts: 2350FWIW, I have not lived at the grand hyatt barra but I live close by:
- Pesquira (spelling is wrong) is a top fish spot nearby on praia the reserva. Very white, very whites only, very expenlsive, girls from top termas love to go there to get their pics there as it is a status thing, and of course you are paying.
- I don't like this area (posto 7 - 9) as it is even more whites only than posto 6.
- it is safe.
- the uber residence in the area is novo leblon where the lawyer at conservative church groups live.
- you can find some social commentary on this on porto dos fundos channel on youtube, google barra.

Posts: 3118SIM without CPF
I found out I ran out of data but I decided to just get a new chip with data when I saw a TIM shopping stand. I have been to this stand before and they told me CPF is required. Today I told them I have passport (I was going to an airline to purchase flight) and they told me they only accept CPF. Then asked if I have friend here. I said no. The girl said you are all alone here? I said yes and I know no one. Hehe. I told them I got chip in Rio and Sao Paulo without CPF and passport. Then they talked to each other and asked me do I want to put credit on my chip or a new chip. I said I want a new chip with data on it. Then I saw she opened a file on her phone with a list of numbers that looked like CPF number. They proceeded to register a SIM chip for me. LOL. So I guess some would help you when they know what you already know that one can get a chip without CPF.
I think it's about their closing time, I would try to invite both to dinner to thank them as excuse if I wasn't going to the airline.

For some reason I am used to say casa anywhere I go in south America. The same was mentioned when I was in Cuba but realized Cubans use that word different and got offended.
Casa particular is regular tourist accommodation in Cuba.
Have to remember these lingos.
I am trying to find a reports of distinction on Brazil TR. I remember book marked but cannot find. Can anyone share or point to the post so that I want to fresh my memory and note down the places to visit and prices.

We are landing on Saturday into Rio and leaving Thursday. So probably have to plan our hobby vs sightseeing.
BTW. Can any one suggest how to look for chica friendly Airbnb. I have booked 2 bedroom apartment near Copacabana ($800 CAD) though they did not specifically mentioned about guest policy but no party, no smoking policy. Not sure if this means. No entry for chicas?
I always stays in hotels wingman and never had problem. Including Medellin Sheraton. But this time we 4 people, hence ended up taking 2 bedroom apartment and not sure if run into any issues.
We have until 3 pm to cancel our Airbnb but so far we did not find any chica friend. Appreciate any intel via PM.

This post is just to introduce more context to express my original intention as DC is familiar with the term casa in Medellin so I skipped the detail.

The danger is there but it wasn't as bad as Medellin where it seems grigos are being hunted or watched.
BTW, Clinca is not a term used in Rio. It is only used in Sau Paulo for places similar to casa.

Also unlike my Mexico antics: RDJ starts early like 10-11 am and be back early too, out too late the pick pockets and worse start filling the street tourists urged be out of there ahead of time.

Posts: 582SP or Rio
Flying into GRU next week for 7 days.
Kind of a revenge second chance at my botched 4 days in Rio last December.
While I attempt to uncover reports of distinction:
Confirming does SP have similar or better setups to RDJ's Clubs like 4 x4 and Perola Negra etc, spas like Eden Spa, unmarked residential high rise like 13 de Maio or guided tours of VM?
If really wanting second chance would I just be better off when arrive at GRU just hop on sleeper bus to RDJ for the entire week skip SP completely?
Context: sometimes my schedule and life gets hectic it's very hard to sit down and scroll thru several swaths of pages on ISG but will try my damnest to speed read Brazil threads starting right nzzzz ZzZ zZz ZzZ
