Sao Paulo Reports

[Nounce]

This article from February 2022 states that only 1 quarter of all payments in Brazil are contactless (might be higher in a big city like Sao Paulo or Rio). ...

It's 100% everywhere that accept credit card in Sao Paulo because it is built into the device. The only place that I encountered an issue is All Sabor Gastronmico across from Uruguaiana metro station in Rio. They have the machines but the wireless reception is bad for some reason so they have to move around to get reception.

Hi EverythingBlue,

Sure, if they are just random pictures of the place and not a portrait, I just say "can I take a picture?" (posso tirar uma foto? If you're going to make a shoot you'll need a talent's release or at least a simple receipt bill with the persons signature and 18+ ID (already verfied by hotel when check in). If you're going to make an entire week of productions, you'll need a contract for sure. Like we do.

It took almost 20 years to speak fluent portuguese. But my personal advice is to hear brazilian news all time, brazilian music in the background and read newspapers (it applies for the languages you're learning). I buy paper newspapers when I'm in Brazil so I can be up with the local news and have conversations with people.

By the way, brazilian polititians and local stars go very often to the clubs mentioned on ISG.

Awesome report and time stamps. I enjoyed reading the play by play of your action, sometimes you can't wait for them to get wet, I spit if I have to but when it needs to go in it needs to go in LOL.

How do you approach the girls to get all the action on camera? You negotiate each time using google translate? Sometimes I wonder if it's only a North America thing where girls are so camera shy, I haven't faced this in Colombia or Brazil yet.

I can't wait to go back to SP and check if my credit cards work LOL. Just kidding, cash is king dammit!

Went to Cafe Photo around 9 pm on Wednesday. Definitely more girls than on Saturday, including a few options which looked good. Upon closer inspection, one of the options had a huge butt / thighs which I don't like, the other option was taken by an older guy before I walked in, and the third option didn't quite have the right look in her eyes. Specifically, she didn't know how to make eye contact and generally seemed new to this. That and the crappy live music (much worse than the recorded stuff), and I decided not to risk it and leave.

Which leads me to my conclusions about Cafe Photo. It's a great place with a lot of potential, but a lot of the girls are new and they don't know how to behave properly yet. They don't know how to dress without looking uncomfortable in evening wear, or how to wear colors that don't emphasize the large, unbalanced posteriors common in Brazil. Only a few of the girls, older mostly, know how to make eye contact properly (and likely by extension how to talk with a man). This might be a good place if you're looking to find someone new, a diamond in the rough, but for me I think this place is a visit in a few months to see if it improves.

I went to Scandallo afterwards and was immediately overwhelmed by a different kind of problem, namely too many good options. This is the right kind of problem a place should have. I ended up seeing someone I met last week, having both excellent conversation in my broken Portuguese and a great time in the rooms. We agreed to see each other for lunch on the weekend. If she wasn't there that evening, there were at least 3-5 other decent looking options, a few of which probably wouldn't work out due to irreconcilable differences in personality. Scandallo remains a mostly sure bet (during Tuesday-Thursday).

For T-Mobile, you can get better download speed by adding on MAXup data to your Magenta Unlimited Plan for an additional $15 a month. Then of course they have several one-time international passes you can get at various price tiers. I've found that just maxing up on the data is good enough for me.

Thanks for the tip. I will try T-Mobil MaxUp first when I return to SP in October. I can always upgrade to T-Mobil's International Pass if MaxUp is not fast enough for my needs. I just hate waiting and waiting for internet pages to load with the T-Mobi's basic service in foreign countries. In the USA Magenta Unlimited's speed is excellent.

I don't get too hung up on trying to learn perfect Portuguese. It isn't like I am ever going to be a considered a Brazilian anyway. No matter what kind of shirt I wear 😜.

Are you sure? Have you tried the Vasco shirt and bombeiro khaki pants/shorts combo?

I speak close to fluent Spanish so I mix it with Portuguese and speak "portunol" which works great for me at bars, restaurants and everywhere else. Usually, I tell the speaker if they are speaking English to speak Portuguese so I can get better at understanding it.

But seriously, w/r to Portuñol, here's a decent channel recommend by a another BM, to avoid those Portuguese/Spanish homonyms and other faux pas.

When I was planning a business trip in South America, I did what we all do: Search for the flight.

Among the long list of options shown by Latam Airlines, I found one that let me do an 10 hour stop in Guarulhos. The perfect time-lapse for a very audacious pit stop. Oh yeah, adrenaline rushed into my vains, also because it was one of the cheapest options (happy face).

My scale arrived at 7 pm in Guarulhos, my luggage was already checked until final destination so nothing to worry about. I went straight to the taxi booth and called a taxi to. Caf Photo.

Almost 1 Hour taxi crossing entire Sao Paulo, checked in Caf Photo and saved my briefcase in the "guarda volumens" and straight to the bar upstairs. And yes, I found a brunette that caught my eye (later she told me she was in Dubai few weeks before). I told her to help us find a friend and she called another brunette that looked lovely with long long hair, and she was a true beginner. It was her last year of university. After having spent around 3 hours in the club, we all three headed to Asturias motel.

First round with the Dubai brunette, the rookie did not make part of the action, she was sitting staring at us smoking a cigarette, a bit reluctant to see us fucking. I finished with the Dubai brunette and we all talked for few minutes until my dick was hard again.

Then it came the time for the student brunette. She was dressing a black blouse that had a lovely cleavage, and a pair of loose silk pants that showed the curves of her ass. She was white and smooth, really classy.

I called her to me and she stood next to the bed, I slowly took those pants off and then her underwear. I laid her down on the bed and rose her legs up pointing to the ceiling. I did not give her much time to get wet and I simply penetrated her. She made a sound of pain, her legs were on my shoulders, I approached my trunk to her, posing all my weight on her, I kissed her I stuck my dick until the very end. Deep inside her, and fucked her in that position until I came. When I pulled my condom there was a bit of blood on it. It was a great feeling.

The brunette student was the first to leave the motel when her uber arrived. The Dubai brunette told me to give her a lift (carona) to her house that was on the way to Guarulhos.

Everything costed around Reals 2500 plus the tax for reentering the airport. I continued my flight with no delay. In peace ready for work.

My next flight may have two pit stops. One in Buenos Aires and the second in Rio / SP. Those cheap flights are fantastic for pit stops.

Time on pics:

15:51 leaving Buenos Aires Ezeiza.

19:01 Arriving Sao Paulo.

19:54 Taxi from airport to club.

20:43 Club.

00:13 Arriving to the motel.

01:45 last round.

02:39 Calling our taxi.

02:48 Taxi arrives when talking on the bed.

03:30 near to Guarulhos.

End of pit stop.

Hi Sperto,

Pain is so close to pleasure. Like the song of the late Freddy Mercury jajajaja Sometimes o "papai mamae" is kind of boring.

Attached original pics of two of a kind from Brazil.

You really know how to treat women. You must be their favourite customer.

You can just pay with your phone or contactless. The issues you think you have are not really there.

This article from February 2022 states that only 1 quarter of all payments in Brazil are contactless (might be higher in a big city like Sao Paulo or Rio). But, I would like to see that overall percentage go much, much higher (like to 3 quarters) before I'm ready to get out of cash in Brazil: https://labsnews.com/en/news/busines...-transactions/. Here in the States (and especially once the pandemic started), payment by contactless credit cards has become ubiquitous, and I rely on far less cash in the States than I used to. Brazil is moving in the right direction.

I can easily match you in number of days that you can't even see how far ahead I am. LOL.

I'll give you that in terms of overall number of days. All I can say is. Wait until I retire. Hehehe.

I have the T-Mobil Magenta Unlimited 55 plan which costs $50/ month for 1 phone or $30/ month per phone for 2 or more phones. The plan works automatically upon arrival in Brazil, however, download internet speeds are incredibly slow. Of course, WiFi in most 4* & 5* hotels is fast and reliable, but in a bar or restaurant speeds are low and asking for WiFi pw's gets to be a pain in the ass. T-Mobil has a solution for this problem. They call it their International Pass. It costs an additional $50/ month, but you will never complain about slow download speeds in Brazil again.

I have found a significant amount of Paulistanos (SP Brasilians) understand and speak English. ....

The casher in Takkø Café speaks English. The clerk in cellular accessory store near Paulista station speaks Englsih. I thought that was it. But then one clerk asked "Would you like something to drink?" at Sabores de Maria.

[Nounce]

I didn't. Hey, have some ambition! LOL!

I am just having fun with The Cane. I don't think The Cane would mind. I can easily match The Cane in number of days that The Cane can't even see how far ahead I am. LOL.

The use of credit cards (debit cards too) in Brazil is a push button issue for me, as you can see. I don't believe it's a good idea to rely upon them heavily there for the reasons I've already stated. ..

You can just pay with your phone or contactless. The issues you think you have are not really there.

Good point Anaggie.

Remember Brazil received hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of immigrants during the 20st century. There is a culture of immigration and welcoming immigrants.

Gringo, the word to call the new extranger, has no bad meaning at all. As a matter of fact, Brazilians call gringo no matter your nationality. I'm Latino and they call me gringo because I look like an extranger.
