Rio de Janeiro Reports

[OldAsiaHand]

I am newbie to Rio but not a newbie to ISG or mongering. I have read a big chunk of the Rio thread and Bubba's Guide (excellent report BTW; Thanks Bubba).

I have read and been told that the 5-star hotels on Copacabana are not girl friendly at all. My question: Is this policy absoulutely set in stone? I want to use my points at the Marriott for free nights. Is there any way I can bring girls in? Or, as a second option, are there safe ST motels in the area to use at a reasonable price? Is it safe to go to the girls' places or another place that she recommends? I will try the thermas but I do not want to limit myself to just this experience.

Thanks.

OAH

I can understand why the gov. Would be interested in changing the image of locations that are heavily visted by tourists, such as copa and zona sul in general. However, if they are going to be raiding other areas that are mainly visited by locals. Now one has to be really cautious. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the comming months and year. One has to look for a patterns and see what the story is. Could you imagine if they start raiding Centro? Now that would really grab my attention and leave me shocked. Hopefully that will never be the case.

Raids in centro casas and VM also occurs occasionally. The reasons may be drugs, minors, unpayed bribes, complaints from neighbours or political showoffs.
Casas getting closed down or moving to a new address happens every now and then.

The background to the Niteroi raid was that the police was investigating the murder of a football player who had sex with two GPs working at the 'Prédio the CEF'.
The police propably knew that there were minors working at the puteiro. They should know as their collegaues were working as security in the casa.

This is just ridiculous. If a man cannot enjoy himself with a programa in Rio without being harrased, what is this world coming to. So they want to turn Rio into New York City post Guliani. Good luck to them.

It's not ridiculous at all. They found 2 minors.

I can't help but think about the dude in sala 110 when they knocked on his door."Hey, I paid for an hour and it's only been 20 minutes. What the fuh." •.

It was the almost 3 weeks ago.

BTW, funny pricing. They don't like customers going for 40 min?

That is NJC. It's the 3rd raid this year. LOL!

Looks like it was a man who gave her the initial pimp slap. I will say the big blond girl must have studied some of Anderson Silva's tapes, she had some nice knee techniques. Hoes fighting is nothing new. It used to happen weekly at Meia Pataca and I can't tell you how many times I have seen it inside of Help. When tourists are scarce and money is low, the girls start to rumble over customers.

Actually, a lot of the fights are over girl shit, (eg she said that you said that I said, etc.) The low life putas are just more prone to get physical about small stuff.

XL-sized GP's fighting outside Balcony.

No wonder the locals want to get rid of Balcony.

It's also that time of year when the tip boxes come out for Christmas."Caixinha de Natal" as it's called. There's the payola angle. Like having to "tip" your porteiros at your apartment building (probably at least R$100 each, maybe more, so they don't bone you the rest of the year. So x5, that's R$500-R$1000). Then there's the straight up extortion, from say COMLURB guys who live on your street or in your building and basically just hit you up for cash with an implied threat. And then there's the people you may actually want to tip, like the guys at the corner suco stand you eat at at least 2x-3x per week, know your order, and give you relatively good service. Or the cleaning woman who comes 2x / week and deals with your filth, LOL.

Anyway, between now and New Year's, it's on.

Funny that you mentioned the COMLURB guys. Two fake garis, (garbage men) were arrested yesterday in Tijuca, asking for donations to their Christmas fund:

BTW, I don't log into this site much anymore, hence the unanswered PM's. Elvis has left the building so to speak!

Sorry to hear, but can be totally understandable. All your hard work is often taken for granted. Your contribution to this community can NEVER be OVERSTATED. Thanks so much for all the knowledge that you have passed onto us. I am pretty sure there are many guys out here who feels the same.
