Considering a trip to Brazil this year since it doesn't look like Thailand will be open anytime soon. Have been doing research and am looking for some advice.

Hotels: This will be my first time in Brazil (SA in fact). I know zero Portuguese, will be learning some basics but I figured a hotel would save me some headache compared to a rental. Based on recent reports I've got Porto Bay, Hilton, and Marriott on the list while Windsor group is out. Pestana seems to be another commonly recommended choice but I'm not a huge fan of the reviews and would prefer a better maintained place. I would also get some perks with the bigger chains. Wanted to see if any members have additional suggestions to widen the pool a bit.

Accessibility: I'm Asian and will probably stick out like a sore thumb in Brazil. I assume big cities and Rio and SA should be easily accessible but wondering if hobbying will be difficult, like in other places such as Japan and Korea, where either being a native, or being fluent in the language is a prereq to getting into some establishments.

Timing: Currently planning on around New Years, or just after New Years. I'm assuming Christmas will be a bad time given the country's religion, but would New Years or after New Years be a bad time as well?

Looking forward to the replies and hope everyone stays safe.I stayed at Hilton and visited buddy at JW. Both are upscale places, so bringing talent will be difficult. Some folks on this board have managed, but my friend and his girl got kicked out at Hilton, although, to be fair, he was drunk like fuck. If you're not planning on bringing girls, then both hotels are perfectly fine, although Marriott's location is better IMHO. Also all Hilton rooms are oceanfront, and if you're gold or diamond, you'll enjoy free breakfast and happy hour.

And no, hobbying will not be difficult for you. Rio is a cosmopolitan city, and girls will be happy to take your money. It's nothing like Japan.

I think you're talking about 2 different Sheraton hotels, there's one in Barra de Tijuca which I believe you are referring to and there's one in Leblon where there is no tunnel around.I was probably thinking about my trip to Barra Shopping where it took us forever to get through the tunnel. Loved the hotel, BTW. Did NOT like the commute.

Might end up splitting time between those two and a rental for future reference.

All the hotels I've read about are in Copacabana so I'm assuming that's where the majority of action is. Would staying in Ipanema be a major downgrade?

Also happy to share info, my experience is mostly in east Asia, SEA, and west coast US.

Girls galore everywhere. Hop a train, get off at a stop and there they are. BTW, women, especially the non-pros, like men who can perform without artificial stimulants. Drunks can't. They just behave like jerks.

1. when I did the appresentao at Annes massagen I did wear a mask and the six girls came in and kissed and all. It was fine, I think they even appreciated it a little.

2. I agree paying 400 r and tipping 200 r is overpaying. I can see it being enthusiasm on a short term trip. The ironic rule is paying too much usually equates to bad sex, and paying less and in line with locals yields better sex or good sex. I am paying 200 r pernoite / diaria for Monique who stays over for 3 pernoites in a row (also 400 r for lunch and drinks at a barra p7 bar daily, as well as ubers, and 400 r grocery bills from which she makes good meals like fish salad and 100 r at pharmacia for overpriced flip flops and medicine to ease her stomach ache since she was on her period).

That said, I don't judge, I report what I am doing. I appreciate all the reports from old and new.I agree Vagabundo. You can't tip half of what the service costs! If she blow ya socks off and you want to give her a $10 spot sure but $40 outrages! It will be my first trip to Rio so I'm not talking bad but I learned a lot about mongering from the old head here and 2 rules to mongering to live by are pay after and keep prices reasonable / low LOL. BTW Vagabundo I tried to DM you.

Further to the thoughts below.

1. Wearing a mask in a prive also defeats their facial recognition; you are being filmed; you are the customer, like a fb member logging into fb (watching the excellent social dilemma on netflix).

2. Nota bene: (If you want to find down to fuck brazilian women, or women anywhere in the world, join a fb group with your favorite GDP (garota do programa, not gross domestic product) under the heading, "Smoke Buddies" -- there must be dozens. That is a great correlation with girls who will bang. It helps too to provide ganga, which you can pick up at VM (just ask your girl) or any boate probably. Just don't have any more than a small amount (100-200 r) so you are not a trafficker. As one ISG buddy who shall remain anon said to me, "I'm addicted to the pussy, and I don't smoke, but I don't mind if they smoke".

Have no idea what you are talking about with reference to Japan. Girls galore everywhere. Hop a train, get off at a stop and there they are.A lot of joints in Japan will turn you away if you're a foreigner even if you speak Japanese, and those who don't usually charge a massive foreigner tax. This isn't limited to just hobbying either. Same with Korea and China. I've been turned away even when with native friends.

Timing: Currently planning on around New Years, or just after New Years. I'm assuming Christmas will be a bad time given the country's religion, but would New Years or after New Years be a bad time as well?I don't know if you know, but there was some sizable Japanese migration to Brazil before WW2. You won't stick out as much as you think. Lima, Peru, while not as crazy of mongering destination as Brazil, also has much Japanese influence. (Lima has great Japanese and fusion restaurants.).

Hotel and AirBnB rates generally spike over New Years (called areéveillon in Rio). Not all the girls will be back and working after Christmas, but there should be enough talent in the city. Unless you were intrigued by being in Rio for the NYE celebration, your best bet is after the NYE holiday. While Rio is going to try to have a celebration, it appears it will be dampened down some from previous years.

All the hotels I've read about are in Copacabana so I'm assuming that's where the majority of action is. Would staying in Ipanema be a major downgrade?I would plan on checking out the major termas Solarium, 65, Monte Carlo and perhaps Centaurus. Poke your head into prives as well. You get to check out the girls first and if the girl is working in a termas or a prive you can be reasonably assured she will deliver.

Ipanema is fine. The Eastern half of Ipanema is a very short walk to the heart of Copa. As always, the trick is to find a hotel or rental where bringing back guests is not an issue. There's the rub. Ipanema doesn't have as many hotels and probably less rentals available. It is more affluent and more residential than Copacabana. It does have its share of nice bars and restaurants though.

First-time mongers to Rio should probably focus on Copacabana. You can always go to Ipanema Beach and have a drink in Ipanema.

I for one wouldn't want to stress every time I walk in my hotel door whether they're kicking us out or not. So if bringing girls was important to me (it isn't) I would want to know for sure that my hotel or apartment rental wouldn't give me a hard time. But that's just me. Other folks might enjoy the "adrenalin rush" not knowing, yet others enjoy that no hotel clerk would dare say no to them.

As to Japan, I know exactly what he meant. I once found an ad for a place in Tokyo and wanted to check it out, but my local buddy said he couldn't take me since it was for Japanese only. When I researched further I found that yes, it is a thing for many clubs all over Japan, not just in Tokyo.

Since it was a very short stay and I generally don't have "guest" anyways, it didn't affect me much.

Yeah I was about to say. You won't be the only one wearing a mask. I'll be taking precautions as well.During my recent trip down there, I noticed that in general the mask compliance rate was 50/50. It was a lot better in Copa than say Centro, where you wouldn't even know there was such thing as a pandemic. You can forget seeing any one with a mask at the termas, bars, prives etc. The few places I visited, I was the only one wearing a mask and if the place was crowded like those trash termas and such, I just immediately left. When it came to the garotas at any of the places I visited, like Duda's, Eden, MC, 502 etc, it was business as usual (No fist or elbow bumps, LOL).

I kept this trip very short and tried to limit my activities, but still could not resist. But definitely stayed away from any place that was crowded with a bunch of people without masks. Places like MC and 502 had very low volume of people inside, which was why I ended up staying at those spots. I wanted to peep out 65 and Cancun to see how they looked since 4 x4 was still closed, but I didn't want to get changed into a robe and all that, just to discover that the place was packed with the non mask wearing crowd that was typical in Centro and pay the entrada just to leave after arriving.

If you're still wary about being exposed to possible COVID-19, Rio may not be a good option right now. The exchange rate is the best I've ever seen and might consider another trip in a few months if the price of the flights are still low. In the meantime, I need to get another test done soon to make sure I'm good.

Hey fellow degenerates!

It's been awhile since I've been here on ISG's Brazil Forum. I went to Manaus a couple of years ago and Rio that same year. Since relocating to Medellin, let's say I've been. A bit occupied.

Anyway, I would like to know if anyone has a current list of the Prives / CLínicas that are in the office buildings in Centro. I know the suites would change time to time pre-Covid, so I can't imagine how it is now. Any info is greatly appreciated!

Nearing 3 months in Rio.

All has been well (more or less) with one BAD story. I will write report it later. It happened several weeks ago and involved my stupidity and was scammed for some money, but I needed the lesson as I was probably to Euphoric.

Had 6 girls in the last two days. The first 3 I rotated at prive on Djalma, I find it hit or miss but good value.

The second night I set something up with a girl from Photoacomphantes. (who also advertises on Hotside). There has been some discussion as to the quality of photoacomphantes. My thoughts, it is usually a waste of time. But, there are some gems you can find. I've found a few girls, just randomly scrolling, rarely are they ever the photos in the picture. An hour before writing this met a legit spinnner /19, for 150 and we fucked for the full hour.

Anyhow, the hotside chica paid 250 r for the hour. It was strange, because I was waiting at the lobby and for to her arrive. I wasn't aware of this set up, as some girls rent a room for the hour. I actually had left, but returned because I was in a fucky mood. Anyhow, upon entering the room, I wasn't sure, she was a bit chubby, but really nothing by Brazilian standards. I was upset that I had to wait and I wasn't talking to her, but rather her handler. I ended up staying and we had great sex. Spit everywhere, I was controlling the session, which I enjoy to do now. She liked it when I spit on her face actually. It is great when they are really into it. Actually she let me film it, which surprising. She smoothly set up 69. We ended up fucking without a condom. There was a rush to get out cause we used up all the time and another women / guy were walking in. Anyhow.

Later that night, I found this chic on photoacomphatnes again. Cute body, ended up facetiming her and it was 2 am. She was in bed, said she had no local, and I really wasn't attracted to her. She messages me 20 min later, saying she's out with her friend. Of course it was bullshit, they are always bullshiting. Sent her a photo of her friend, really wasn't into it. The only reason I ended up going is because we negotiated 400 r for 2 hours for the duo. From a service Perspective, it was great. I'm getting more comfortable as I've had probably 5-6 threesomes since being here. Half of them semipros. I ended up leaving immediately afteri busting, since I wasn't into them from a physical perspective, too old, and stingy for my taste, although they were nice gals. I've realized, I can only stay 1 hour + with girls I'm very attracted to.

Anyhow, there has been a lot of fucking for me. I can't count how many girls I've been with in the first 7 weeks of being here. I actually was really burnt out, drinking 3 x a week going out, some drugs. I needed a few weeks off, although I was intermittently fucking.

Will write on a few stories later.

I also tried Yuko from RioVIP as RioBob recommended. She was fucking smoking. Although for some reason she didn't seem to be so into me! Oral with condom, she claimed syphilis was going around: She rushed the session and was mumbling some things, I was really surprised since I paid 400 r for the session. And expected a lot more. I did soon realize it was her last night when I booked and she had a few more hours of appts left, so maybe that was it.

I'd also like to say, you can consistently get high quality women for 200-250 r for the hour. 300-400 r you generally have a pick of all choices.

After seeing most of what barra had to offer I decided I wanted to spend my last night in copa. So, I cut my airbnb short a day early and moved back to pestana. Did some shopping. It was raining so I relaxed and finished my bottle of Bombay in the room before heading out. First stop was Casablanca. Ended up being my only stop of the night. There was a gorgeous negra spinner there that a young man named Johnathan introduced me to. Angel was her name. I was buzzed and feeling good and way under budget I decided to offer to buy a bottle. They were having a Halloween party and the vibe was good. The costumes were amazing, the DJ was playing great tracks. Ended up buying 6 or 7 bottles and Angel kept saying it was almost show time. I wasn't sure what she meant until the show started. She was the star of the show. A cute spinner started with a pole dance then it transitioned to her. She did her dance which was seductive, elegant and beautiful. She then called her friend up whom I was sitting with to join her and she stripped her friend naked and they made out and 69 the on stage and then once the show was over both came back to join me. After finishing the last bottle. We were both ready to go. Paid tab which was around 4000 reais. Neve spoke of money for girl just headed back to pestana. Had a great experience. She was gargling the whole member within 30 seconds of being in the room. I wanted a cigarette but didn't even make it out of the balcony doorway to smoke it so that is where the session started. Once I finished my cigarette, while getting BBBJ we moved to the bed. Tried a few positions and once we transitioned to doggy she was so into she pulled the condom off. Before I could react or say anything I was raw dogging it. Not usually my thing because I would feel bad If I took something home to my SO. Went 3 or 4 more rounds between some sleep and listening to music. Great night. Had trouble getting her to leave around 8 or 9 in the morning because I had more shopping to do before checking out. I gave her 80 for the session. We had talked about some things throughout the night and a discussion that was brought up by her friend and was between myself her friend and another gentleman while outside smoking was dead beat dads. She complained she received no support for her baby and we all agreed there was no place for that in this world. So upon her departure I gave her a benny I had set aside for emergencies. I emphasized it was for her baby and nothing else. She was shocked but I felt she had earned it. My money my choice.

Regarding tips. I did not tip every girl, just those that actually took time and I built a rapport with, had hopes of meeting again or went above and beyond what they are expected to do. I have a rule that I never tip a girl that is mechanical, rude, or asks for a tip. My thoughts on tipping is not everyone is going to do it. I feel I am pretty good at reading people and situations. I can tell when a person is struggling and in need and when a person is comfortable and is getting by. I went to Brazil under abnormal circumstances in an extraordinary time. People all over the world are struggling financially and psychologically. Whether one tips or not and how much is ultimately up to them. I never tipped them until they were walking out the door and had already showed my appreciation vocally. In normal times I would have tipped much less or not at all, but these are hardly normal times. Also, I feel that given the low number of ladies I took this trip I will single handedly drive market prices.

Thanks I will write another post with my thoughts and summary of the trip.

LoveLongTime

11-03-20, 08:27

I spent many weeks reading different forums trying to decide what to do. I was psychologically very much in need of a vacation. I had a trip planned for March of 2020. I booked the trip in Dec 2019. Everything was booked and paid for. I was to do 4 days in Bangkok, a week in Pattaya, 3 days in Siem reap, a week in Phnom Pehn, a week in Saigon, and a final 3 days in Bangkok. Needless to say I was devastated Thailand shutdown the day I was supposed to land. I only cancelled two days before I was supposed to leave as I had every intention of going until it became painfully obvious it was not going to happen. I had saved $9000 for this trip and used all of my 120 hours of vacation time and 4 days of unpaid time off work. I had planned on waiting it out but once it became obvious it would be middle of 2021 before this was a possibility I decided to look at other options. Tijuana was my first pick but after research and having to travel through California, I decided this was not the best choice for me. I actually looked really hard at Aruba and even participated in some surveys they conducted before they had even reopened but my state was not one that require no testing, vacation is not something I was willing to gamble on an untrustworthy test. The only options left at this point were Brazil and Turkey. I had no desire to go to Turkey and had interest in Brazil. It has to be top 5 countries for any monger.

Having decided on Brazil I knew Rio was the only option for me. Bangkok is the only large city I have ever enjoyed spending time in. I am a country boy. So, a week before the trip I booked and paid for my flight and rooms. Flight from Miami to Rio was around $600 round trip. Rooms were around $600 for 8 or so nights. That left me with around $7000 to play with. Usually I go for quantity over quality on my mongering trips. But once I saw the quality on offer in Rio my plans changed. I decided to only go for the best and not settle. I pulled 3 9's and 1 solid 10. A few 8's and the only time I settled was at Paris cafe. I went with the cool chick over a better looking one and she did not disappoint. Rio was full of great choices. Although it is a bit more work than SEA to seek out the ladies it is worth the effort. One of the biggest questions I have been asked by friends is how it ranks compared to other places I have gone exclusively for mongering. Here is my ranking. Pattaya Rio Bangkok Cebu Miami. There are many factors that come into play quality, quantity, value, performance etc. This is just my opinion. All is subjective and ymmv.

I would visit Rio again if I could get a direct flight from Miami. I think a week would be enough time for someone like myself who has limited time off work and obligations at home. More time would be great but just is not an option at this time. I met a lot of really cool people and got along great. My last day a lady was actually shocked when I told her I had only been in Brasil for 8 days. She thought I had been there much longer by the way I acted and got along. Her words. She said, I think you are becoming Brasilian. Well anyway next stop Cebu (March 2021) to do some retirement planning and take care of business interests. If at all possible I will spend a week in Phnom Penh or Pattaya if either are open for Farang / Barang.

If you are on the fence or not sure about Rio. I highly recommend giving it a try. A friend was supposed to go with me but cancelled due to fear of danger. It is a city treat it like any other city and you will be fine. Shit happens, all you can do is be smart and careful. Something I have not mentioned thus far is insurance. I RTFF and went with seven wonders it was $38 for $500,000 in medical. I was not asked for any proof along the way and luckily did not need it. My top advice would be RTFF. This tool has been invaluable and I plan on becoming a paid member once I figure out how. Take care everyone. Until next time.

Ended up booking 3 hours for 400 with girl from last night after my first hour earlier in the day.

I arrived at her place, and at the door, I heard a guy talking / laughing with her. I ended up leaving as I told her I didn't want to sped 3 hours with a guy literally in the closet beside the bedroom.

This seems to be pretty common, there is usually guy in these rooms / close by. Anyways, we end up taking uber to my place, and literally fucked / sucked for 245 minutes straight.

She is from Minas Gerais, and the girls there seem fucking amazing. Booty twerking, Brazilian baddies. I want to take a trip there, and supposedly the rates are pretty fair, 150 r can get you some good ass. The girl showed me a photo of her friend, and she's my type. Brazilian baddie.

I have a feeling there is a lot of quality and unique mongering experiences outside of the state of Rio.

As it is, I like to be sure I'm paying for the time these days and use it all. I'm also over SA / semipros as finding pros has a lot more options and once you get the in's and outs, there are endless women in Brazil it seems. I was a bit unsure, but I can see how easy it is to get addicted to Brazilian ass, once you've had something real / or a flavor you connect with.

Just in case some aren't aware, the insurance requirement was lifted maybe sometime within the last month. It's not even listed in the Brazilian embassy website any longer. So, unless you want it for a piece of mind or something, no need to purchase it before your trip to Rio.

My Latin American friends in Miami always fix me up, sometimes with relatives. Restaurants and clubs are incredible. There also used to be one of the best escort agencies in the world located in South Florida.

The owner was awesome and was kind enough to let me audition new girls. Keep telling everyone being a nice guy has its privileges.There were many factors that went into my ranking. Value, selection, typical performance were most important. The value in Miami is not there unless you are local or your budget is limitless. I found the prices to be higher than even Chicago which I did not even mention because of my utter disdain for that city.

Your ranking surprises me. Miami in the mix? Rio nestled between Pattaya and Bangkok?I decided to place Rio above Bangkok simply for the factors of value and quality combined. While the same quality of women can be had in either city. A dime is a dime. The dimes in Rio are far less expensive and much more friendly. My experience of Bangkok consisted of everything but soapies. Beer bars, massage parlors, street walkers, gogos, escorts. I had a full week in Bangkok. Shagged 3 to 5 times a day. While Bangkok has a better layout more options and is more convenient, the people of Rio won me over and the amount of quality girls is unreal. For me Thailand will always be a once a year visit for me once things are back to normal. I would like to venture to other places. My top 4 others as of today are Colombia, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. I had the opportunity to hook up with a Laotian in Bangkok who had a smoking hot friend from Myanmar that kept calling her so between sessions I told her my room number and she was there within 5 minutes. I asked her for a BJ upon entering. She told me she just ate spicy food. Not thinking I said I don't care. Big mistake my dick started burning from all the chili in her saliva. We all had a good laugh at that one as I was screaming in the shower rinsing off the fire spit. I have decided however since I can get a direct flight from Miami I am going to try and go back to Rio for new years just for a short 5 day trip. Thanks take care.

Thank you for taking the time to post. Rio has a strange effect on people, they either love it or hate it, and there are plenty of reasons for both emotions. And sure, "the trade" in Rio is not nearly in your face like in Pattaya, but the quality can be amazing, and they really like to fuck. Imagine that!

Re: tipping. Look, you're right, it's your money, so who gives a fuck how you spend it, right? But here is the thing. Folks who criticize you for spending "too much" couldn't care less about your budget. We care about ours. Today a GDP got a huge tip from a gold-hearted gringo -- tomorrow, not only will she expect these kinds of tips from other gringos, but she also broadcasts that to her GDP network. Now every girl thinks that goldhearted gringos dispensing generous tips is the new normal. That idea you might've put in her head doesn't do any good to anyone, including you if you intend to frequent this destination.

When I feel grateful for a great service, I normally do what allows me to connect with them better and also have some fun myself. Treating a girl to a good meal or a show they like, buying a few drinks for her and her friends, or even buying some toys for their kids (within reason) can be more satisfying to her and more fun to you than shoving some money down her purse.

Just a thought. That's your money after all.

Oh, and one more thing!

If you are on the fence or not sure about Rio. I highly recommend giving it a try. A friend was supposed to go with me but cancelled due to fear of danger. It is a city treat it like any other city and you will be fine. Shit happens, all you can do is be smart and careful.One thing you shouldn't do is treat Rio like any other big city. Rio is more dangerous than Bangkok or American cities, and that's no joke. I've never been a victim of a crime during my many visits (other than from shitbird mafia), but you must be extremely careful in Rio streets. One seriously shouldn't go into deserted small streets after dark and should take cabs / Uber anywhere, even for very short trips. Talk to the locals and they'll tell you plenty of horror stories. Not that I've never violated these very rules myself, but better safe than sorry.

Pattaya is the ultimate monger destination but I rank a city according to destination more than just for mongering. Pattaya ranks highly for ease of mongering but low on other factors such as the quality of the girls and things to do in the city. Rio ranks higher for quality of girls (I'm mindful of beauty being in the eye of the beholder) and things to do so I will rank Rio higher. I also rank Bangkok above Pattaya for similar reasons, but lower than Rio although I will accept that this is debatable. I will add here that my number one destination by far is Frankfurt.

Rented a Motel in Realengelo to meet up with a SemiPro from Bangu. I did not want to have her over at my place, just because I've been having many girls over and living in this AirBnb for 3 months already it gets more uncomfortable or more so I feel restricted in how Liberal I can be. With that said, renting a motel for around 80 r is a great choice and option. The motels are gated and safe, and they cater to mongers. Girls can come and go with out trouble and the rooms are set up for sex with mirrors / pornTV.

I had set up two Semi Pros that were from Bangu and 18-19. The first invitee I had over was great. Super fresh and tight. We drank and spent 3 ish hours together just fucking, she had to go home before midnight and I had arrive later, it was 1 h45 drive from copa.

My 2nd appointment had ended up going silent. So I called over Babi Ferrari an hour later around 1 am after a quick video chat confirmation. We booked 2 h for 300. And she was great. Cool, big booty Brazilian girl. She called herself a Putero. A Donnna, maybe the more experienced mongers know these terms, kkkk.

As it is, the session with her was enjoyable, god damn, Brazilian women and hookers know how to please. I kept repeating to myself last night, hookers are the way to go. I've been dabbling with semi pros initially. Babi kept licking / fingering in dark places. I've upped my endurance and the girls (most) have kept up. Blowing for 20 minutes without problem, being able to take it hard / soft for 45 minutes straight. My Hips hurts.

Babi had 3 kids and is 22, I was shocked. Anyhow, I don't enjoy the women with so many kids, but very friendly and busty for sure. She also wanted to go to a swing club, I've never been nor had the motivation, although I'd be more open to it here inn Brazil.

I came in new here, and generally like to live a somewhat 'normal' life in terms of living situation. But, if I were mongering for a short time, a month or a few weeks. I would be renting hotels / motels with liberal policies in different areas of Riio. Jacarapagua / Recrio / Barra. I also now have adjusted my opinion on prive / houses, if you find some of the good ones, they can be great.

A few days ago I had a girl from PA and there was a guy in the closest next door. Just curious, does anyone think these situations can ever turn dangerous? It just feels weird to me and you can sort of sense it generally.

The girl who I session for 4 hours three days ago, her name is Manu on photoacomphanntes with Minas Gerias calling code (31). The photos are real and the price is 150 r for the full hour. She also is staying with Hubneeer on IG. The handler (who for some reason from my research I think is one of her gay black friends) quoted me 300 r / h with her, and ended up blocking my number the next day, maybe I was too pushy or trying to negotiate as Manu told me her price was 200 r.

Anyhow tired and a little hungover.

Whose "thesis" is that? Really the decline of the BRL vs USD is 100% about oil prices. BRL, RUB, CAD, MXP all declined vs USD with fall in oil prices. Currencies from countries with few oil reserves JPY, EUR remain stable.The proof is in the pudding. Now you can see the chart, here https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=BRL&view=1W.

BRL has strengthened against USD following the elections.

Headed for my first trip to Brasil this Friday for a much needed break. * Like many I am a refugee from Asia and missing my normal treatment for my yellow fever so here is hoping that maybe the Brazilian ass may cure my affliction. *.

My plan is to do 5 nights in Rio then 4 nights in SP since I am flying in and out of SP. * For Rio staying at the JW Marriott due to my credits and status so will get a suite and lounge access for the base room price. From the forum it seemed that guests weren't a problem there, but I wonder if covid has had any change in that, anyone with recent info?

For Rio given I am a first timer and my portuguese is mostly from time in macau I was planning on mostly termas (monte carlo, centarurus,solarium) and dip my toes in some escorts and maybe a prive. * Having RTFF I was going to stay away from PA and had these sites tagged for higher success rates: riovips, barravipescort, hotside, barravipsrio, and acompanhantesipanema. * Definitely need to fill my asian void with a few of the japanese girls while in town as well but not much on the better sites so may have to wait until SP.

If any of this should be eliminated please let me know. * Also if anyone is visiting and wants to do some joint hunting send me a PM. * I can certainly share information on Asia and Thailand though I don't know when it's going to be useful again.

Thanks to all the great information and reports on the thread, it's much appreciated. * Reports to follow.Great plan Micheal and I will be arriving this weekend as well and need to figure out this bitcoin membership stuff to contact wingman like yourself and King V.

I will be staying a few nights Hilton then planning to go in person to JW, Pestana and Transamerica to chose something for the remaining 3 weeks.

My MO is diverse like Thai daily agenda as I want to try everything, especially Centro privesor massagens during day while hitting the termas in evenings and ultimately arranging DSD's (Dark Skin Doubles) for back at hotel.

Really want to check King V's Transamerica out as a place to chill poolside and point and click poonannie as there seems to be a robust talent pool in Barra.

Got to bring King V some hooch for all his contributions!

Will post once on the ground soon and have a cell plan established.

P.S. Has that Pestana been refurbished or still cheap but worth a stop to look at balcony rooms if any gents have stayed recently.

Cheers.

Not that I've never violated these very rules myself, but better safe than sorry.I can appreciate others worrying about tipping high as a trend. I even felt the jealousy of other girls at the terma which I am sure they found out about my generosity. I do intend to return this year, part of my intention was to set myself up for success next visit. I was laying the groundwork for more good experiences. I do not care what the ladies expect, they will get what I feel they deserve. A good example, a friend I told the story to and he felt I should share here is my experience at club 583. The lady I took became frustrated I would not "suck her pussy". She proceeded to hold my head on her nipple while she masturbated. Her pussy was breathing and sounded like darth vader. And when she came she screamed like an Amazon warrior dispatching their last enemy. I was not into her enough for a second round and did not care to "suck her pussy". I left before my time was up and no tip. Not a bad experience just not a highlight.

As a young man in Miami in the late 80's through early 2000's, I am well aware of dangerous cities. It was the murder capital of the world for a while when I lived there. If I remember correctly. My best friend lived less than a mile from the dadeland mall. Where many were massacred to kill one person. I have been mugged, shot at, attacked with a knife. While I understand Rio is dangerous I was implying the same. Not many cities in the world is it safe to walk down a dark alley alone. I walked the main thorough fares at night but not too late. I also received a message from a whatsapp contact saying she had been mugged and asking to meet with me. I declined not sure of her intentions. I would recommend uber as it is incredibly inexpensive and convenient. I went from one end of copa to the other for less than 6 reais when it was not busy. Walking around at night is one of my favorite things to do in new places. I am willing to accept the risk associated with such activities as anyone that does this should also. In Cebu I walked from Ayala to Mango at 11 at night. And ventured around the back streets of Colon at a fairly late hour. I took a motorcycle taxi to the Fairtex stadium in Pattaya, the mototaxi driver was nervous but I guess I don't care enough to worry. Adventure has its risks but I have been rewarded more times than I have been punished for venturing off the beaten path. Anyway take care.

Same plan as at home, was connected to vivo most of the time.

Pestana was ok. I stayed in side balcony room first few nights. Everything was clean and worked but the balcony was tiny. Not enough room for even a chair. Amazing view from the 12th floor though. My last night I stayed in the top tier room with full balcony. It was very nice and the balcony was huge. This room was on the 3rd floor. View not as amazing but the extra room was worth it. Got BBBJ on balcony then moved to coffee table. LOL her choice. The safety box in my second room did not work but I usually hide things of importance around the room in different places when I stay at a place with no safety box so it was not an issue. They only took girls ID once out of the 3 or 4 so nights I took one back. It was rather late and security guy looked bored.

Never had a single bar. That's a Vivo country, and no way to get a SIM card from resellers without a CPF number.

Unless you specifically need a Brazilian phone number (for some reason) I would search the internet, there are options to get a SIM card that works internationally (voice/text/data) and never need a local SIM. In most cases you really only need data or access to Wi-Fi because you can communicate in country via WhatsApp or other internet / Wi-Fi enabled app. Unless you know Portuguese fluently or who your speaking to speaks your respective language you will Never have a Phone-Voice conversation.

T-Mobile, best carrier for international travel, travel without roaming fees. The plans gives you unlimited 2 G data at no extra cost. Calls to local calls are 25 cents / min. Unlimited texting too. You can get faster data speeds but its $5/ day. I'll get local sim for Data / internet when I need faster Data speed, as its cheaper. Works in over 210 countries. They've added a new change to their TOS: "Not for extended international use; you must reside in the US and primary usage must occur on our US network. Device must register on our US network before international use. Service may be terminated or restricted for excessive roaming. " I'm currently stuck outside the US due to the Corona. I'm mostly connected to a local wifi, so I should be ok.

Nope.

From my experience tourist can only buy a sim card from the Rio Sul Shopping Mall. Phone shops and even the street sellers refuse to sell tourists sim cards.
Nope.

No need for buying your SIM card at Rio Sul or a e.g a TIM/Vivo shop. You can buy your SIM card at a reseller, Lojas Americanas, many pharmacies or from a street seller (btw the TIM/Vivo shops often are out of stock of their SIM cards and recommend you to get them somewhere else).
As said before, no need for a CPF.

If I feel lazy I buy my SIM card at Lojas Americanas and let the TIM guy/girl activate it in the store. Otherwise I just buy the SIM card and activate it when I get home by calling TIM/Vivo. If you happens to have a CPF it's very quick to activate your SIM card by calling TIM/Vivo. If you don't have a CPF (or doesn't want to give your CPF number) you'll have to speak with one of the staff, explaining that you're a tourist and have no CPF. This can be solved very smoothly by phone, or it can be time and patience wasting if you doesn't speak portuguese or are onlucky to speak with one of dumb ones (both TIM and Vivo have quite a few really dumb ones attending).

I never tried a tourist SIM card. I've just bought regular SIM card and they works just fine. Personally I prefer to use TIM in Rio. However, in some parts of Brazil TIM works very badly and you might want a VIVO.

If you have a dual sim phone, you can download an app called "Airalo" where you can buy country specific eSims for high speed data coverage.

I used it in Brazil last time I was there and it cost $9 USD 7 days with a 1 GB limit. You can top up once you run out and it is very easy to use.

They now have a global sim feature so you don't have to buy country specific ones.

In most cases you really only need data or access to Wi-Fi because you can communicate in country via WhatsApp or other internet / Wi-Fi enabled app. Unless you know Portuguese fluently or who your speaking to speaks your respective language you will Never have a Phone-Voice conversation...Thanks, I went to the vivo store in the center of copa. Lady told me she could not help me. I will just go to Rio Sul next time. It was nice having my new phone that isn't unlocked yet but was concerning carrying around a $1200 phone.

They gave you a ocean front balcony room on the 3rd floor? WTF? I would have marched right back downstairs and let them know I want to be on 10 or higher! That's the only reason why we would pay for a ocean front room is to have the amazing view!As I was only staying for one night and wanted the balcony to smoke relax and fuck on it was not a concern. It might also not help I left a negative review regarding the Sky bar staff. I have already booked an airbnb for my new years weekend trip. Rio is calling again already, given the impending lockdown in USA sometime after Jan 20.

I have been in Rio for about a week but had yet to venture out as bogged down with work.

I took a trip to Club 163. This place is pretty cramped with the rooms being in partitions in a larger room. You hear every noise from neighboring partitions. I forget her name but was presented with a tiny mulato with such lovely curves. Damage was 170 for an hour. She was very enthusiastic.

Later in the day took a trip to Copa 583. This place it quite large with several big rooms with shower, massage table and double bed. I selected Miuke as she reminded me of an American actress. The bonus was she spoke good English as my Porto is not there. She gave a good massage and was pretty passionate. For 1 hour it is 130. The lineup was rather nice.

You sure about that?

I arrived on Thursday, bought a VIVO SIM card from a reseller. When I arrived at the Vivo store in Copa, there was a note in the sign in saying all foreigners need to go to the Vivo shop in Rio Sul with their passports. At the Rio Sul store, I gave the Vivo representative my sim card I bought from the reseller, he said I couldn't use that one unless I had a CPF. He sold me one in the store I didn't need a CPF for and activated my phone.

CheersYeah, I always believe a merchant with an incentive to sell me something over someone who spends months at a time in Brazil, has been doing so for years and speaks Portuguese fluently.

My friends all have me buy their cars for them. Over and over again when they go themselves they are encouraged to spend thousands more, pay all the extra fees, buy add-ONS they don't need and get taken on financing. Then they ask me to see what I can do. I happen to have a special set of skills. Sperto does also. If you don't, then overpay. Regardless, we really are not talking about a lot of money, especially considering the exchange rate.

Can anyone recommend something in these areas. I want to hit up Transamerica, what is the nightly rate there? They seem to be juicing the price on the booking sites.Google the location of Transamerica. Then on Airbnb do a zoom in on that location and a search for apartments. You will get many options in Transamerica that are much cheaper than booking sites. They won't name the building as Transamerica but you will recognize it from the pictures of the Pool, the building itself if included in the pics, and by the style of room.

You can find very cheap options, like 30-40 bucks a night.

Sperto

11-07-20, 09:13

You sure about that?
100% sure. I've done it on every visit to Brazil.

Note: Some TIM/Vivo staff doesn't know you don't need a CPF to activate the SIM card. If that's the case, speak with their supervisor or someone else more experienced.

Any recommendations on a sports bar that has a good array of Tv's to watch USA football and the master's etc.When you ask for recommendations it would be helpful to indicate the area your located at or interested in going to.

You may get more information from Mongers currently on the ground about other venues.

I recall in Ipanema close to General Osrio Metro (Subway)/ Park is Shenanigan's Irish Pub Sports Bar.

If in Barra da Tijuca try the New York City Center (part of the BarraShopping Complex).

Beyond that I got no clue, when I go to Brazil there is only one sport I am interested in. And it doesn't involve watching TV.

I forgot....use your phone or tablet and stream from any location (hotel, restaurant, beach) with Wi-fi access or data plan. Just make sure your stream can be accessed in Rio/Brazil.

Shenanigan's is closed (since the beginning of 2019 ?). There were a new owner and a new bar. When we went to the new bar there were almost no guests, terrible service and awful food. I can't recall if they showed any sport, but I think not.

Nope.

Nope.

No need for buying your SIM card at Rio Sul or a e.g a TIM/Vivo shop. You can buy your SIM card at a reseller, Lojas Americanas, many pharmacies or from a street seller (btw the TIM/Vivo shops often are out of stock of their SIM cards and recommend you to get them somewhere else).
As said before, no need for a CPF.

If I feel lazy I buy my SIM card at Lojas Americanas and let the TIM guy/girl activate it in the store. Otherwise I just buy the SIM card and activate it when I get home by calling TIM/Vivo. If you happens to have a CPF it's very quick to activate your SIM card by calling TIM/Vivo. If you don't have a CPF (or doesn't want to give your CPF number) you'll have to speak with one of the staff, explaining that you're a tourist and have no CPF. This can be solved very smoothly by phone, or it can be time and patience wasting if you doesn't speak portuguese or are onlucky to speak with one of dumb ones (both TIM and Vivo have quite a few really dumb ones attending).

I never tried a tourist SIM card. I've just bought regular SIM card and they works just fine. Personally I prefer to use TIM in Rio. However, in some parts of Brazil TIM works very badly and you might want a VIVO.I'm just relating my own experience.

Tried a Lojas Americanos once, and they sent me to a TIM store because they couldn't activate it without CPF. Was it because they didn't know their shit? Maybe, I don't know.

When I go to a phone store, they always ask for my passport. If I'm not mistaken, they also make a copy of it. Maybe if you're convincing enough it'll work over the phone, but it's hard to be convincing with my limited Portuguese. For most tourists using the phone shop is just easier, IMHO. I got my SIM card at Rio Sul a couple of times and one time at a standalone TIM store when I stayed in Centro. Worked without a hitch every time.

Just my $0. 02.

This is good advice.

Further, while you are on the map, you can sneak into the pool from the Southwest side. Just walk on the street, and hop the 3 foot fence at its lowest point. You can thus check out the talent at the pool without a bracelet. I've become adept at crashing pool parties in Barra to scan bunda.

I am paying 20 USD a night at Transamerica. As related before, my landlord, who is a decent enough guy put me through some gringo tax drama, but after I protested about wanting a bigger bed and a safe, he gave me a suite grande with a big bed and two sofas. True to form, the safe won't work, but that's Brazil.

Not only is Transamerica the best place IMHO but the 'hood is worth knowing. One would if he settled in Brazil pick a apto at the Riviera del Fiori condos (the 7 25 story buildings just East of Transamerica), where I looked at a place asking 4400 r per month (I am paying 3000 r).

Lets put it this way, the towel boy at Terma 65, who used to be the towel boy at 4 x 4 lives in Transamerica. Need I say more?

So it was yesterday, Friday I guess.

Monique was over for two pernoites going into a third.

She fucked up cooking -- distracted by facebook, and taking her own picture and posting it etc, etc (see the social dilemma).

The bigger problem of course is that having a working girl over means you have a really low education, relatively stupid or at least uneducated person in your stuff.

I do have a job, and it involves downloading at least 8 hours of audio a week, digesting it, and taking action. The internet here sucks -- at all areas in Transamerica, and even at the 5 g spot down the road.

So, throw in a dumb chick who fucks up cooking fish balls because she is more interested in her likes on facebook -- on my fucking laptop and -- boom, time to leave. She also basically fucked up some cooking gear, a electric churrasco and a rice cooker, which I had to replace.

It's nice to have a few days just to myself, which I've done last night and tonight / this morning.

It's a occupational hazard of whoring -- that is spending time with dumb working girls.

She's actually a decent girl.

I am going for a new chick tomorrow, a hot Kira noir spinner from a centro terma.

I have old flames calling me for programa. So I will do those girls too. They offer up their prima's on facebook for duplas.

Whoring their relatives and friends is kind of like a handshake in Brazil.

That's why it is a great place to be a man, regardless of the friction.

So, yeah, the story ends with Monique. After the grease fire which I had to put out, I ordered the wench an uber. I gave her part of her money, like 150 r, when I was going to give her 400 if I went to the bank. But after the grease fire, I just wanted to get the wench out of my place.

She was pissed of course.

The beauty of Rio is there is another porn star quality candidate for wefuckblackgirls.com right around the corner. I need to branch out into some of the morena claras again.

My buddies from my unit gave me the callsign mudshark for a reason.

I am looking forward to meeting up with some mongers from ISG, like TrueBlue, tomorrow and in the weeks to come.

Had the same thing happen on a few occasions but was able to get a local to allow me to use their cpf. The sim card purchasing process in RJ changes everytime I visit. I also start with reseller or if there is a TIM store in copa or centro then I'll use them.How often over a lifetime have we encountered someone who said you can't do that. Most of the time they should have said, I didn't know you could do that.

We need to separate this forum into those who speak Portuguese and know how things really work and those who don't and have years of the same one week Rio visiting experience.

If you are only going to be in Rio a week, what matters most is getting as quickly and effortlessly to why you are there in the first place. (Hint, it is not spending a day getting a SIM card).

Sperto is correct. It is just his advice does not apply to 99% of the forum members because you will encounter an employee who says you cannot do that. You don't speak Portuguese and can't argue so follow the path of least resistance.

For ocean views, there are quite a few listings on Airbnb, but make sure to check the photos. Just because the listing says oceanfront, it doesn't mean oceanview. If you're looking for Copacabana, your options are limited to Avenida Atlantica or some buildings in Apraodor. Also make sure it's a front, and not side oceanview.

Thought I would chime in with an on the ground update from a first timer. I flew into SP and had way too long a layover, detail report will follow, but for reference DO NOT try to buy a same day ticket from SP to Rio unless you really like pain. I walked every inch of GRU and no SIM cards to be found in any of the terminals. I was only in domestic terminal of SDU so didn't see anything there either. For the first day I used the $10 verizon roaming service which works ok, but not great. Best I can tell the issue is that anytime there is a pause in data it has to go through the re-authorization process again and can be slow.

Went to the Rio Sul today (doesn't oepn until 3 on Sunday for reference). My protuguese isn't good but generally I can understand enough to get by so I can't say for sure if I misunderstood something. Started at Vivo store on 1st floor told to go to store on 4th floor. 4th floor store couldn't help, but not sure why and he directed me to another store outside the mall I believe. Tried Claro on 4, told to go to 3. At store on 3, store on 3 from what I understood could do it but they had no sim cards (I think this was maybe the problem at vivo on 4). She pointed me to Tim and I finally succeeded. It took the guy a long time but he worked really hard and was apologetic for it taking so long. I think I got 4 gb and 50 min for be $45.

My first night I ordered in Photoacompantes poonannie as it was easy. I know its hit or miss but just needed an all access PSE. She was not like her pics but I didn't care. She did it all for a buck fifty hour.

Newbies. Maybe I'm wrong but it was Sunday here and y'all should plan your company for a Sunday as not much available. I learned the hard way and finally found a PA taker as even the online Hoes prices inflate on Sundays it was appearing.

Just got back from Mabs. Had to check it out. One hit wonder for sure. Lots mileage up in there. Kinda like the beer garden in Bangkok.

First timer on the ground reporting. Got into Rio yesterday and staying at the Marriott in copa, no problem bringing girls, least not the first one I had today they even called up to tell me she was here. I was exhausted from travel so didn't venture far and started at Monte Carlo. Reminds me a lot of a Macau sauna but not as luxurious. Got up to the lounge level and was seriously concerned about the selection, only 3 girls and none of which were interesting. 3 other guys (around 6 pm) and they didn't seem interested either. I got a beer and watched some football in the smoking room and I saw a couple other girls start to show up so went back to check it out. As I am partial to Asians chose a tall skinny mulatto. Took the hour, which was foolish as I just don't do 2 rounds in an hour anymore. A few notes: 1. I was unimpressed with the condoms she had, definitely bring your own if you have a preference or are on the large side. 2. Charge for using card was $B70 so that was about 10% on a 700 tab so bring cash. Hit the wall after dinner so didn't get to sample more.

Slept long time and worked out Sim card today which took a while. Set up with Missi from RioVips website and had wonderful hour session at the hotel this afternoon. She delivered as promised and was very timely and will see her again.

Plan for later was Centarus but turns out all the termas are closed on Sundays so went back to my escort list. Unfortunately, whether it's because it's Sunday or raining, or just bad luck tonight couldn't get anything setup. Lots of girls didn't respond, or weren't willing to come to Copa and I am not at the level yet to out late at night solo around Rio.

I did have interesting conversation with someone from acompanhantesipanema.com, which has about 4 hour related sites. You will notice they are all the same and use same whatsapp so must be a booker unlike the other sites were you talk to girl directly. Conversation was a bit abrupt at times and just didn't give me a comfortable feeling. Asked for un-editing pics got told to go to site (there are no unedited ones) got one additional but still edited. Would have still taken a flyer even though my spidy sense was already tingling, but then came the 2 hours $220 USD! That was a non-starter. Asked why website has 200-250 be and got that was for at her location only for 30 min. Still considering maybe going to her place later to see in person as I really want to sample some of the Japanese Brazilian girls while here. Would definitely owe anyone a few drinks if you have any girls or recommendations in that department. This was my target.

In most cases they expect it. The only thing they want to know is if (or when) you are in Rio. Anyone worth their salt will start initiating contact (two weeks) before departure to get questions answered and schedule meet up day/time.

WhatsApp calls are free and can be done via Wi-Fi and with a cellular data / internet plan. So, when you get any SIM card ensure you have Voice / text / data plan included so you can use WhatsApp or any social media app when out of range of Wi-Fi.

SUCCESS AT RIO SUL MALL

Went to the Rio Sul today (doesn't open until 3 on Sunday for reference). My Portuguese isn't good but generally I can understand enough to get by so I can't say for sure if I misunderstood something. Started at Vivo store on 1st floor told to go to store on 4th floor. 4th floor store couldn't help, but not sure why and he directed me to another store outside the mall I believe.

I think I got 4 gb and 50 min for be $45.Sundays in general are slow retail days. Acquiring a Sim Card at Rio Sul Mall one can (as reported) be successful. I do not try to speak Portuguese; I just ask who speaks English (always at least one rep will) and someone helps me. Like I said before they engage tourist all the time.

I am not 100% sure but I do think there is a difference in SIM cards for Brazilians since they must produce CPF# versus SIM cards for Tourist who need to just show Passports.

This may be why you experienced.

Tried Claro on 4, told to go to 3. At store on 3, store on 3 from what I understood could do it but they had no sim cards (I think this was maybe the problem at vivo on 4). The problem probably was they did not have Tourist SIM cards available. The services operate the same its just a classification / registration thing.

I'm new to the forum and have been reading it for the past few weeks. I'm planning a trip next year to Rio but can't decide whether or not I should stay in Copa or Barra. This would be my second trip to Rio. It's been about 10 years since I've gone so a lot has changed I'm sure.

What is the attraction of staying at the Transamerica hotel? Are there girls lined up at the pool and in the elevator willing to give out their numbers and hookup with hotel guests? Vagabundo1 makes it sound like some kind of Shangri-La, yet he's busing girls from some place 3 hours away back to Barra? And to all the other recent new travelers to Rio, how has your experience been at Transamerica? You're staying there but taking an Uber all the way to Copa and back all the time? Is there no fresh local talent in Barra?You should read all of vagabundos posts to understand his situation and reasoning behind living in Transamerica but importing from elsewhere. First of all I want to thank vagabundo for the wealth of information shared, it has been extremely helpful.

I am not disagreeing with him but want to provide a contrast to his approach, as it is not for everyone and for example wouldn't be 100% my cup of tea.

The reason Transamerica is good is you have zero issue taking girls to your room. Reason number two is that there is an insane amount of working girls living in that building. So you can just run into them and ask for numbers. The reason Vagabundo decides to bus in girls from other locations I believe is because he is staying in Brazil for months and is able to agree super cheap rates for 2-3 days at a time with a girl. Don't want to put words in his mouth but I am doubtful some of the more high end girls that charge 400-500 per hour and post on barravips would be open to such an agreement. Still the option is there.

Now for the reason to actually stay at barra de Tijuca vs Rio / Copa. From my experience being here for a week and having been here once before in the last 12 months is that all the hottest girls live in barra so you are actually closer to them (either for them coming to you or you coming to them).

I am in Rio for 1-2 months and prefer seeing a high end girl for 2-3 hours every other day over marathon 3 day sessions. That also leads me to be picky. I am currently staying in copa and using photo acompañantes has been a complete fail. It's basically just catfish / bait and switch even if you search for more expensive options. If you go on the more trustworthy sites like riovips, barravips, private55 - all of the girls located in copa / centro hide their face and there aren't a lot of options. All the hotties that also provide face pics and videos live in barra. I will be splitting my time living in both copa and barra and I thought it wouldn't be worth it picking up girls from barra while in copa as I will be in Rio eventually anyway. However the fails with photoacomponhantes I decided to go to solarium (have read that centaurus has recently changed to worse but can not confirm). When I was at solarium, price for one hour was 795, there were about 7-9 girls. No stunners, some cuties. Considering how high the price is this is a disappointment, but having been empty handed for several days I decided to take the plunge anyway and chose a girl of my preference. The rooms there are tiny, so not all positions are comfortable to do. Girl was very hard working and did a good job so at least there it's top notch service. Got her number but didn't follow up.

To also comment on Michaels comment about him not being able to source on Sunday, I do believe that the girls are lazy and they are more reluctant to travel from barra to copa for a one hour session. I was able to get a girl for 2 hours yesterday from barra however, 400 per hour and absolute stunner that also performed excellently, didn't negotiate it but she also let me film everything, with her face included in the vid.

So there is your reason for staying in barra, you're closer to the best girls in the region. Reason for Transamerica is you're surrounded by them and you have no issue taking girls back.

Now for me personally there are negatives to Transamerica that make me reluctant to stay there. First of all, again, you're surrounded by working girls and not all of them high end. I don't think it's a safety concern but I'm just not a fan of sharing walls with 100's or working girls as I sleep. During my previous trip I visited a girl there and they rent two adjacent apartments, one for living, another for banging. As I knocked on the door she came from the other apartment and her roommate was crying. My girl and I go to the room to do the session and at the end she tells me her friend gets beaten by her BF and asked me if I can help. No fucking way am I getting into some family drama in Rio even if it is a tragic set of events. Reason I mention this story is again in this building you have the boyfriends and pimps of these chicks. I would prefer to be in and out of such a building and not stay there for a long time, but I'm not knocking anyone who thinks otherwise. The rooms are also not the best quality but to offset this they are super cheap. It all depends if you want cheap and convenient or more high end with a bit more risk of locating a building that will allow you to let in girls. I didn't have issues with this in copa so far.

I hope this is helpful, trying to give back for all the useful info I read on here. My plan now is to only focus on chicks living in barra as they are the hottest and also independent and more free with their schedule (my experience is if you click they don't keep track of time and just overall provide GFE).

Anyone know where to buy the huge condom packs? I went to a normal pharmacy and they sell 4 packs, and pretty expensive too. Would like to buy a bulk pack. Thanks.

Wrong they do not freak out when they see a foreign number. In most cases they expect it. The only thing they want to know is if (or when) you are in Rio. Anyone worth their salt will start initiating contact (two weeks) before departure to get questions answered and schedule meet up day/time.I must not be worth a damn. I do not have a reason to be talking to hookers 2 weeks before anything. I do not even know if I am going to be horny 2 Sundays from now at 11am. Hell, you don't go to the termas to check out chicks then tell them you will be back 2 weeks later. Either me or her might even have something better to do once that date and time rolls around. I am a spur of the moment fucker, not an appointment fucker.

My method is 1. Get horny. 2. Send out messages: are you available for a programa? 3. I go to her or she comes to me.

The only questions I usually have besides if she is available are how much and in how many minutes will she arrive.

Just hit me up. Somehow. You can come to the Transamerica hahaha.

Thanks very much for your earlier response. I'm unable to setup a Bitcoin account, and won't have the time to post a lot before I leave, so I'm reaching out in the only way I can. Will be arriving in Rio the morning of November 16th. Staying at the Radisson Rio de Janeiro Barra, Evandro Lins e Silva for two days. I'm interested in getting your landlord's contact information and the benefit of your expansive mongering guidance. If you're free on Monday and feel like having a late lunch and some drinks on me. Much appreciated.

Makes sense. And I should have noted it was an adventure not a chore. I got there little before 3 walked around. Had a nice sit down lunch. Went through the process and by 5:30 was entertaining Missi in my room. Used the line scooters to and from since it was more interesting than a car along the beach and half the road is closed on Sunday for walking, biking, and such. Sure 5 min at the airport is better but it's about the journey and experience. And in this care persistence.

WhatsApp calls are free and can be done via Wi-Fi and with a cellular data / internet plan. So, when you get any SIM card ensure you have Voice / text / data plan included so you can use WhatsApp or any social media app when out of range of Wi-Fi.

TrueBlue666

11-09-20, 20:23

I'll keep this one short as I still have more to my trip, and may post more later.

Had Sarah from Hotside yesterday night. Blonde pale-ish Brazilian gal, if you get an age in your mind looking at those pictures, add like 3-4 years. I'm not even going to mention what she said her age was, as age seems to be so nebulous with these gals. She speaks enough English for communications about basics. If you're American, avoid the subject, unless you're a Trump fan for some reason (I won't judge), in which case you'll have something to talk about, she seems to think about it a lot. Site says she's "full service" which seems to be the site's way of indicating that she's backdoor friendly. She's not. She's a nice enough gal, even yelled at my hotel front desk for me (no hot water). I do and don't recommend her. She just wasn't really my type, but there was nothing wrong with the service. I can't remember what I paid. Probably more than I should have.

Had Laura from Onix Terapias today at noonish. It's the gal in the picture, but add a few years and two kids. She's not unattractive, still has the same hair and a cute face, she just has that extra belly fat you'd expect. Doesn't speak a lick of English, but I didn't expect her to, we communicated with google translate exclusively. She was rather friendly. Didn't actually see any of the other gals there on my way in, they were either working or hidden in the maze of doors. Are $160/170 per hour (can't remember which). Took it in the backdoor like a champ (no upsell), but we actually ended up switching back to the traditional entry, as it ended up being tighter / just felt better. No complaints, and would recommend, but just adjust your expectations after you see her picture.

The search for the elusive 20 y / o spinner continues. Happy hobbying.

Garotas have curves, which is good, but they are on the fleshy side for sure. The websites are a fair reflection of what you find on the ground as far as body-built is concerned.

Should have noted I will be out every night until Thursday if anyone wants to get together and go hunting. Always nice to make new friends with a shared hobby. Hitting centarus later tonight after this girl comes by shortly.

First timer on the ground reporting. Got into Rio yesterday and staying at the Marriott in copa, no problem bringing girls, least not the first one I had today they even called up to tell me she was here. I was exhausted from travel so didn't venture far and started at Monte Carlo. Reminds me a lot of a Macau sauna but not as luxurious. Got up to the lounge level and was seriously concerned about the selection, only 3 girls and none of which were interesting. 3 other guys (around 6 pm) and they didn't seem interested either. I got a beer and watched some football in the smoking room and I saw a couple other girls start to show up so went back to check it out. As I am partial to Asians chose a tall skinny mulatto. Took the hour, which was foolish as I just don't do 2 rounds in an hour anymore. A few notes: 1. I was unimpressed with the condoms she had, definitely bring your own if you have a preference or are on the large side. 2. Charge for using card was $B70 so that was about 10% on a 700 tab so bring cash. Hit the wall after dinner so didn't get to sample more.

Slept long time and worked out Sim card today which took a while. Set up with Missi from RioVips website and had wonderful hour session at the hotel this afternoon. She delivered as promised and was very timely and will see her again.

Plan for later was Centarus but turns out all the termas are closed on Sundays so went back to my escort list. Unfortunately, whether it's because it's Sunday or raining, or just bad luck tonight couldn't get anything setup. Lots of girls didn't respond, or weren't willing to come to Copa and I am not at the level yet to out late at night solo around Rio.

I did have interesting conversation with someone from acompanhantesipanema.com, which has about 4 hour related sites. You will notice they are all the same and use same whatsapp so must be a booker unlike the other sites were you talk to girl directly. Conversation was a bit abrupt at times and just didn't give me a comfortable feeling. Asked for un-editing pics got told to go to site (there are no unedited ones) got one additional but still edited. Would have still taken a flyer even though my spidy sense was already tingling, but then came the 2 hours $220 USD! That was a non-starter. Asked why website has 200-250 be and got that was for at her location only for 30 min. Still considering maybe going to her place later to see in person as I really want to sample some of the Japanese Brazilian girls while here. Would definitely owe anyone a few drinks if you have any girls or recommendations in that department. This was my target.

Is going to be a problem?In Brazilian hooker venues, there are always short girls but perhaps not classic "spinners". You might come across truly skinny Brasileiras, but as was mentioned Brasileiras tend to be on the "fleshy side". A slim (not skinny) Brazilian girl tends to have some pop in her ass. Most men seem to like that. Even the guys in my traveling crew that like slim girls seem to like that bunda pop.

Now, in my opinion, chatting girls up for two weeks prior to arrival is a huge overkill, unless you're trying to cultivate relationship on dating sites. GDPs won't know you from Adam when you actually arrive, or even if they do, it won't make any difference. They wouldn't take your chatting seriously until you're there and ready to do the programma. But hey, I won't say it's wrong. If it works for you, it can't be wrong.

For me, though, it would be.

Don't take things so seriously or personally. I thought this was a sharing and learning forum specially to educate new mongers. However, some of you most senior members and well-traveled mongers seem to be ready to jump on every little statement. Senior members I thought are here to try to provide information to help new and infrequent visitors traveling to Brazil to help them along. I do not really feel senior members need to jump on opinions of other senior members unless the information is tangible factually incorrect (I. E. , 4 x4 open tomorrow when in fact is a closed burnt out shell). General opinions are that opinions of the author not to be taken personally (I. E. , You paid x too much I would not {you should not} do that I get supper low rates because I do x, y, and z). I would not give that a thought let alone respond. I must assume exception is with the language of "Anyone worth their salt will start initiating contact (two weeks)". Really this is not a hard and true statement for anyone to get all concerned about. It could be anytime prior to departure if you feel the desire to do.

Remember a lot of new travelers indicate on forum its inconvenient to do work / research while amidst the fun once arrived. So, if you do some pre-planning it might help with the stress of arranging meetings. Just an opinion / guide. Not to be taken literally. I just give advice (opinion) to make ones travels easier not to fend off attacks. Lets not over think this stuff.

I must not be worth a damn. I do not have a reason to be talking to hookers 2 weeks before anything. I do not even know if I am going to be horny 2 Sundays from now at 11am. Hell, you don't go to the termas to check out chicks then tell them you will be back 2 weeks later. Either me or her might even have something better to do once that date and time rolls around.

The only questions I usually have besides if she is available are how much and in how many minutes will she arrive.Taking statements too seriously. You started off with" I must not be worth a damn. " A very senior member. Why? I can not conceivably see where my statement would be taken so seriously. You probably know all the ins an outs and what works for you when you travel. I never suggested you do anything. If you don't. Don't. Someone may just find it useful to develop their own timeline based on experiences.

The only time I will try to work it well in advance is if I just have to see somebody when I get there, and I know that she is in super high demand, and that I might miss her if I don't give advance notice. But that kind of situation is rare, rare, rare!Thank you Cane, exactly my sentiments appreciate your comment.

IFF you see someone you really want to get with, you make arrangements. Keep it Simple. No more no less. Timeline to initiate conversation prior to departure is up to the individual. You don't want it too far in advance nor two short (these GP's travel and may not be in the area when you are so again sufficient time to make arrangements (or go to selection A, B, C, etc. In case your selection is not in town.).

If you want to freelance totally or work spare of the moment, then that's what you do. Also, I do not mean converse every day with any GP to make arrangements that's not necessary.

Today I was strolling down Buenos Aires on my way to check out a couple privs in the building in Praa Olavo Bilac 28 and as I approach 44, I see a door opened and the light on with two gentlemen sitting outside. As get to the front of the building, I peek inside and see a clean new floor, shiny seats, bar tops etc as if they've been opened for drinks. I recognized one of the guys as the owner's son. He told me they're reopening next week. Knowing Cariocas, that could mean next week, next month or next year as far as I'm concerned. Either way, its opposite from the doom and gloom statements the lady from 65 was telling me earlier this week that she believes they're closed for good.

A few years back I met a bro in Rio. He said he worked for the Feds, had relatives in Rio.

We went to the Hippodromo to see the Carnaval. He was telling me ways to stay safe in Rio, including only getting on a taxis with drivers I know personally, to avoid being kidnapped.

I am waiting for CoVid restrictions to lift and do a little travel. Would like to find this bro again for contacts in Rio.

Thanks.

I ran into the owners (Father and Son) twice. On both occasions they had the doors open, people working inside, the doormen were there, etc. They told me they were going to open on both occasions, once on Wednesday (I saw them on a Monday); the next, the following Monday (I saw them on a Friday). As of today, they haven't been open yet. At least you've got the right perspective as far as the Carioca timeline (Look at the Museum of Image and Sound that replaced, RIP, Help). I hope, you are right; if it does, that would definitely accelerate my next visit.

ISG TrueBlue or TrueGent and I did a centro patrol.

The highlight was the Club 31, which had the best quality. Of course, I got a number. We did hit 5 spots, including T65, and the secret boates.

It was a Tuesday, so nothing great was expected.

We did chill at the top of the Hotel Atlantico pool area, rua the inhuama 95.

Below is a TD format which is copied and translated (badly) from Portuguese. The Brazilians are the duty experts in mongering. Which means they are the most advanced human civilization. When the aliens and / or god reveals themselves, it will be found to be Brazilians.

Peace out.

01) what was the Web site that you found this girl;.

02) what was the date of the TD;.

03) Which was the period (morning, Afternoon, Evening or Morning) in q the Attendance occurred;.

04) as the ' Pre-.

05) If the model was punctual;.

06) If the model have picture, she correspode the same;.

07) If you found her beautiful body / face;.

08) case report occurred in the program:

A couple years ago I was in Rio for the Carnaval, met a bro from the Washington DC area, said he worked for the Federal government, had relatives in Rio and had been there many times regularly.

We went to the Hippodromo for the Carnaval. On the way back, there was a sea of people walking and driving out of the stadium; traffic was crazy packed. He said he would not trust any taxi driver and we waited until a driver sent by his relatives arrived.

This guy was a real gentleman, a noble character of a bro to meet on the road. I figured he must have retired from his work and may have moved down to Brazil, well unless he worked for the Agency and is in it for life hehe. I am thinking of doing a trip down South to get away from CoVid boredom. If anyone knows who this bro is, please send me his contact info.

I also met a bro in front of Help Disco who produced porn and photo sessions for Victoria Secrets. He said he can arrange all these hot models. If any bro knows who he is, please send me his info.

This is what's known as a "warhing order" in the military, or a heads up in the band. Tomorrow meet at Cinelandia metro. The situation is a new friend from ISG, TrueBlue is in town, and Vagabundo1 is going to orient him with a patrol to fuck girls. We are going to go to: 1. The "secret terma" on the darkside (North of Av Presidente Vargas), 2) Terma 31,3) Terma MV30, Terma 65 (maybe). The cost of 1 h at the "secret" terma is 140 r. You need to come on the patrol to come to the "secret" terma, as ISG Fukamefdig has requested anonymity for the "secret" terma. The cost at the terma 65 is like 500 ish, all in. We may also do some prives near ururuguiana, or at carioca metro. Admin. Bring 500 reais. Contact. PM me on internationalsexguide.info.Hope y'all had a bunda blast!

Wish I knew how to pm Rio guys on the ground.

Anyhow, Just finished a 2 HR PH session and I have been actually pleasantly surprised. The girl never matches the pics it seems and they have handlers and strict time adherence but all that have attended have actually been quite good in service and attitude, although I heavily scrutinize and vet them and meet each outside lobby with the premise that I will walk away if they are way off as advertised.

Have only done massage places in Copa (Give the Ipanema Fun Therapy a miss as the girl there today and the environment were nasty).

Tried that Clube613 for a foursome but they only let me take 2 of the 3 ladies in the presentation and their pics on PHA are legit and match. Avoided the shower and departed immediately for hotel shower after. Small room but a good time had. Favorite is the new digs at Copaterapis which is Av. Nossa Senhora de Copacabana, 583. I believe Sala 505. Clean showers and good lingam programs. Eden in Sala 401 had some beauties and good service and avoided shower there. Pillows smelled like ass though but good threesome. Found a little bar for some beers and recharge called Club Sex Copacabana and they had some younger firm poonannie up in there where you can session in 1 of the 2 rooms. Will try Gatas and Lindas next.

Was at Transamerica a few days ago and was shown a room which wasn't that bad at all and I'm debating on making the move there next week. Lots of poonannie coming in and out as I sat at a tiny bar after 1st session while arranging next one. They have WiFi there but I had arranged a pick up back to Copa with my hotel contact. Pool was huge on the tour and I believe he stated their restaurant is still closed as there is not much around the immediate area. Come fed and hydrated. It's difficult to get exact time commitments or ad lib while you are there. I don't think the girls I had were R300 quality but there are some definitely in that price range and more to be had.

Barra is the place for quality and quantity I am thinking but will stay in Copa a bit longer before moving to start in on Centro jaunts.

More online work here than in Thailand but the price and quality are starting to trump Asia I think (and boy do I love Pattaya).

The search begins tomorrow for the elusive young DSD for the Panda presidential suite. They all have friends it seems they can attend with but got to get a few epic hot tub parties in before departing next month.

Very cheap here as well. These $18-54 $ sessions are absurd. Haven't really seen Gringo upcharging.

What the latest from the guts here on the Termas. Do every one of require a change into a bath robe BTW? That's one thing about Thailand is you can get a quick look and depart if it isn't happening.

Cheers.

ISG TrueGent / TrueBlue and I had dinner at Aconchega Carioca, in Praca Bandeira, about 16 h.

This is the best restaurant in Rio IMHO. ISG MichaelSamuel joined us.

It is great to hang out with solid rich world new friends. Whoring in Brazil takes its toll through dealing with the poor chicks who go into the profession.

We then went by Motel Malaga, and all got biz cards.

The purpose for this was to have a good hotel to bring the girls from VM, where we were headed next.

We walked over to VM.

On the bridge we identified the choperia as a good steak house option.

We walked in, got oriented, I recharged the credits on one cell phone, bought water, at a little store.

We walked down past the hells angels bar to Mosaico. I pointed out the bar across from mosaico as a good spot as a rally point, and as a observation post. The reason it is a good OP is that it is the North entrance into the VM triangle of streets. The majority of working girls come in from the North -- Zona Norte.

We then did a walk through of VM.

I got some numbers, including a priority target from 2019.

ISG MichaelSamuel scoped out some nice tits on a negra who could be a skin diamond. I got her contact. The usual obstacles to doing a session at VM deterred my wingman, understandably.

We went down to the OP, and observed for a hour. As Sperto has pointed out, watching the girls coming in is a good tactic.

After the hour, we walked down to VM again, and again, got some contact.

We stopped at Queen 46 bar, and waited for an uber to Solarium.

At Solarium, where we arrived about 20 h, I got two numbers. The first was a hard bodied carioca. The second was a mineira, who quoted me like 1500 for pernoite. Fuk that. My two wingmen sessioned. 120 r is the entrada, which gets 1 beer if you pay in advance. The session is on the order of 430 r. My tactic is to offer the girl 400 pernoite, 3 times a week plus Uber to and from. Of course, I tell them I am here long term.

And thus, ISG TrueGent / True Blue now has seen in two days bottom shelf (VM) to top shelf (Solarium), and 3 or more boates in between, T31, T65,502.

After Solarium, ISG MichaelSamuel and I went around the corner to bar Joia Carioca on Rua Jardim Botanico around from Solarium.

My girl from Solarium was playing games with scheduling, so I went back to Transamerica, and we said we'd do our pernoites another night. All well and good, as one wingman said, "Take that as fate giving you a pass.

My wingman and I had gone to this cool bar after Solarium. He's partial to Asians, having been a long time Thailand monger. The girl standing next to me was Chinese or some Asian Brazilian, and my wingman was smitten. There was at least another girl in their group who really did it for me. These non pros kind of made the point that wasting our time with professional 'tutes really is missing out on quality women / life partners. Getting such girls as girlfriends really would be worth the effort, as is becoming apparent by all the bullshit of dealing with bitching. On this note, the good old fashioned prive may be best for it's simplicity and direct bang for the buck. On that note, ISG TrueGent and I made a plan to do some of the big prives later this week.

Switching back to the drama that is my mongering love life, a few days ago, Nina Deponca came over and as soon as she got in my place she was like, "I just want to be a Garota the programa, treat me like your other girls".

Well, I did.

I fucked her twice to good evil angel IR / BDSM porn (we like Voracious Vampire porn), took her out to dinner at Hula Hula (Barra P7) (200 r), we fucked in the next morning, and then when it came time to pay, I gave her the same 200 r a night that I now pay my pernoites.

She whined a little, so I tossed her another 100 r. But since she wanted to be treated like the rest of my stable, I did pay her the same. Fuck it. Later that night, she was texting me about how much she loves me.

Top shelf talent like the best girl at Solarium I will pay 400 r pernoite, and offer 3 times a week.

ISG TrueBlue or TrueGent and I did a centro patrol.

The highlight was the Club 31, which had the best quality. Of course, I got a number. We did hit 5 spots, including T65, and the secret boates.

It was a Tuesday, so nothing great was expected.

We did chill at the top of the Hotel Atlantico pool area, rua the inhuama 95.

Below is a TD format which is copied and translated (badly) from Portuguese. The Brazilians are the duty experts in mongering. Which means they are the most advanced human civilization. When the aliens and / or god reveals themselves, it will be found to be Brazilians...

What were the deets on your Transamerica transactions?

I generally "import" carioca negras to Transamerica, which is fun for several reasons.

First, I pay them carioca local prices (200 r / night).

Second, there is racism in Brazil, and this area (Barra Posto 6) is a racist area, and I like seeing the shocked, shocked look that a real negra gets. Fuckamefdig who likes the Rihanna types like me shares this particular social view.

This is hooker hotel heaven, but the trick is just socializing normally, and getting the sex as a part of the overall Brazilian festinha vibe.

Hi all,

Long time lurker here. Want to say many thanks to all the regular posters, especially Vagabundo1. I have been to Rio twice before but both times with my colleagues who are not in the hobby. I'm planning to go back in Feb and have booked my ticket. I also today sent off my membership form with the €25. Small price to pay for PM privileges. At Vagabundo1 this would take up to 4 weeks but I hope you are receptive to hearing from me to get the details of the Transamerica manager Ney, and also to join one of your patrols if possible. I initial plan is to spend 6 days in Rio before moving on to Bogota but if the Santa Fe clubs are not open I may stay in Rio longer.

Last trip in 2015 I could only sneak away to Eden Spa (Bruna) and Massagem Tijuca (Michelle). Eden Spa was a little pricier at are $220 vs are $140 with overall quality of both very satisfactory. Little did I know that our favoured late night drinking spot was across the street from Dolce Vita. Used to see some stunners walking past but was too cheap to pay for a hotel / motel when the opportunity for a 3 some with some hotties presented itself for are $600. You live and you learn.

Have been taking notes of names of the Centro Privès to try for this time but my main advice to anyone considering a 1st trip or new to Brazil is read the forum and check out local forums like GPArena for girl / house reviews. Also, one or two trips to a prive daily can be quite a sexually fulfilling and a value for money way to do Rio but with some of the hotties about, I understand the desire to take some back to the hotel. Can't wait to see Transamerica.

I've booked my first 3 nights in Copa at Pestana Atlantica based on previous posts from last year but then I figured that it's likely that girls I find on the rooftop will be girls from Transamerica, so might as well check it out. Besides, having been Rio twice I though I'the check out the Barra area as I've done the Zona Sul tourist stuff. Still, the centro Privès are the best value for money and I don't want to be paying the 400-600 the girls on Barra VIP's are charging.

I'd value any additional insight cause after a being shut down this year this trip has to be epic.

While Transamerica is a gold mine for talent, in my opinion it's not as easy as one thinks especially for newbies or experienced mongers for that matter. The place is a residential building and somewhat discreet, yet everyone knows what is going on. Don't mistake this place for some sort of resort.

I highly recommend linking up with Vagabunda if you can since he knows all the hacks or using PhotoAcompanhantes (search on Barra the Tijuca for location and filter on "transamerica" Read up on some profiles to get an idea. Contact the girl using WhatsApp and try to meet in the building to avoid bait and switch or any issues.

There is a free bus that leaves hourly from av gastao senges 185 direct to av presidente wilson 147 (the consulate), and returns at 16 h10 and 17 h20, that comes with your transamerica room. The bus goes via beaches in Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana.

This address is also where the laundry, cafes, pizzas (borda e lenha 5 g pw bordaelenhabarra) r. Av gastao senges 185.

Sperto's criticisms are well taken and valid, that said, the reason I and my guests love it here is the peace, quiet, more spread out geography, clean water for ocean swimming, better security, better pictures at the beach.

It's the girls -- including the local girls -- who tell me consistently, this place av gastao senges 395 is better than previous places I have had at botafogo.

I've lived in Centro, including on this trip. It is true it is closer to some spots like T65, etc, and as such one can get the girls up to the room faster. But your view from the pool at Hotel Sao Francisco is the rooftops of other high rises, or 20 m across the alley to another building.

Transamerica is landscaped, spread out, safe well patrolled by police even at beach.

With the free bus (and with a little verbal jiu jitsu, girls get on the bus too), it is no cost to get to the locations for mongering described.

I honestly find Copacabana too packed, jaded, touristed, tacky and boring, not to mention dangerous (its where the local criminals go to look for gringo victims).

There are not many gringos if any in Transamerica, which is a plus.

Vagabundo I have a question regarding something mundane but necessary. I have decided to book at Transamerica for part of my stay and was wondering if there are laundry facilities available there.

Curious, is it like one of those places in Germany, called Stasi, I believe, where the girls run around naked and they serve food? There used to be a guy named Bubba here. He seemed to know a lot about the nightlife in Rio. Bet he knows all about that Trans-Atlantic place. Anyone seen him around? He would make a great wingman to accompany you to Help and maybe the Balcony Bar. Think he even knew a little Spanish.

I was not the first to recommend Transamerica, rather I was just following the suggestion from this earlier thread.

I don't see posting here as some kind of competition. There are no right answers, and I suggest a positive tone. I indeed changed my nickname, as suggested by some ISG friends and clients one night 5 years ago in 2015 in the smoking lounge at 502 because the name, from a felipe ret song, or from a common carioca term seemed more appropriate to my mongering nature. Ironically, it appears that some readers have been following my posts despite their saying that they ignore my posts. It reminds me of Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald in A Moveable Feast -- one writer so insanely jealous of his imagined fame takes to attacking his peer, who hardly notices. Take Rio for what it is, a Moveable Feast -- for if you've been lucky enough to live in Rio as a man, then it stays with you, for Rio is a moveable feast, better than the original Paris.

Regarding Porta dos Fundos, yeah, sobre mesa is a great episode too, one I have joked about.

Last month I had a 3-day weekend in Rio. Decided to get an Airbnb in Barra and unlike most times I rented something that wasn't in front of the beach. The exact address was Avenida Gasto Sengs 395 apartment 1507-1, Barra the Tijuca, RJ 22631-280, Brasil AKA Transamerica.

Without even trying I unsuspectedly booked an apartment in a highrise building (part hotel and part apartment residence) that is ground zero to a bunch of independent working girls. All three of my "GDP" acquaintances that came through during the weekend confirmed it and were wondering how I knew about it. Apparently, the rent is quite cheap and many of the girls share apartments. The setup is either you're a guest of the hotel, or a client that they see in their building. The pool is where the magic happens to check out the scene. I was impressed, went downstairs with a "girlfriend" and saw a lot of bunda by the pool which is where they advertise. It was a sight to see considering this place is also a residential building with kids and families. In order to get to the pool though you have to check-in at reception and get a wristband so that you can use the facilities. The security guards and some taxi drivers also confirmed that it was known as "Transamerica" and a spot for the hobby. I didn't ask any girls the price but my friends told me 200-300 is normal there. Of course the place is also girl-friendly;0.

I don't recall any mention of this place in the Rio thread. May be it is a hidden gem. Proof that Rio keeps on giving.

I never met Bubba Boy, but from another ISG member who has gone silent and who did know him, I understand he was an Aussie.

I am attempting to upload his Bubba Boy reports, the long form guides to Rio mongering, which bear updating.

Someone (not it) should make a gdoc file out of them and make them a group project.

I understand he went back to Oz.

As I suggest in other posts, this is not a competition. Neither number of posts or minor points like tit for tat in a tennis match are worth "winning".

Just take it or leave it.

My suggestion is that the most authoritative writer on Brazil, more widely published than anyone on this list, is the guy who wrote "The subtle art of not giving a fuck" which I now see the guests at the pool at this hotel-apt reading.

If you give enough of a F to care about whether someone else is "right" about mongering in Brazil, then it's time to just get on a plane and do it, because you definitely give to many F's -- more than I do. All I give a F' about is what works for me.

Transamerica sounds amazing. Definitely have to give it a try on my next visit. The girls are really girls, right? Curious, is it like one of those places in Germany, called Stasi, I believe, where the girls run around naked and they serve food? There used to be a guy named Bubba here. He seemed to know a lot about the nightlife in Rio. Bet he knows all about that Trans-Atlantic place. Anyone seen him around? He would make a great wingman to accompany you to Help and maybe the Balcony Bar. Think he even knew a little Spanish.

What have you guys done to me!

I clicked on these two and got pulled into a 2-hour binge watching. I watched the Sobremesa 3 times, just couldn't get enough of it! This is some seriously LMAO comedy. And thank god for subs, which are superb, by the way. Highly recommended regardless of your Portuguese!

Porta do fundos is one of my favourites, but I prefer this one:

I won't look up your references, but will offer you a gem of a porta dos fundos, which I recommend watching with the local girls who love good comedy as foreplay.

This is all accurate about why I have chosen Transamerica.

The girls prefer it.

Local Hi test Negra's give me best long term performance here — is they stay because they like being here like getting their pics taken here (this hotel, this pool, this beach). And they charge me less for 3 day / 66 hour all I can fuck sessions.

Look if you want to come to Rio and live in a favela and never meet your fellow mongers and take pride in the number of posts go ahead.

I'm just sharing what works for me. Take it or skip it. But if you post "I don't read your posts but here's what you wrote 7 years ago" get ready to be laughed at.

I have been so knee deep in Bunda that I'm not trying to be comprehensive or answer all the posts here.

You should read all of vagabundos posts to understand his situation and reasoning behind living in Transamerica but importing from elsewhere. First of all I want to thank vagabundo for the wealth of information shared, it has been extremely helpful.

I am not disagreeing with him but want to provide a contrast to his approach, as it is not for everyone and for example wouldn't be 100% my cup of tea.

The reason Transamerica is good is you have zero issue taking girls to your room. Reason number two is that there is an insane amount of working girls living in that building. So you can just run into them and ask for numbers. The reason Vagabundo decides to bus in girls from other locations I believe is because he is staying in Brazil for months and is able to agree super cheap rates for 2-3 days at a time with a girl. Don't want to put words in his mouth but I am doubtful some of the more high end girls that charge 400-500 per hour and post on barravips would be open to such an agreement. Still the option is there.

Now for the reason to actually stay at barra de Tijuca vs Rio / Copa. From my experience being here for a week and having been here once before in the last 12 months is that all the hottest girls live in barra so you are actually closer to them (either for them coming to you or you coming to them).

Have made the trip to TA a couple times from Copacabana and have arranged transportation to and from each time just for peace of mind and also because I have yet to get a SIM card cause I've been too busy fuking to make the mall trip. If the Bunda doesn't meet you in lobby to escort you up you will have to show ID to head up to room (I did not bring ID the one occasion). Here is my biggest takeaway from TA. If your Hoe isn't punctual or decides to attend another sausage and blows off your scheduled time, you are scrambling to arrange another on lobby Wi-Fi but be aware, alot of bait and switch there from what I've experienced. I do think there would be an advantage to staying there to avoid a lot of wasted time as I agree with King V that there are nicer amenities and overall safety and cleanliness in the area. I have not seen ladybugs and the quality runs the gamut as does the prices. I do like the views while the How is attending to the sausage on the balcony. R1200 versus my R3300 weekly Copacabana. I'm still up in there air on making the move as I like my current hotel and have had zero issue bringing a boatload of different quality up to room.

Tidbits.

In need of perfect English speaking masseuse. Try Ju at Eden (nice big naturals).

Monte Carlo additional info for us newbies.

Walk in and get a number on your wrist.

Locker for things just inside from reception.

Shower on second floor and depart in robe to next level which has a small smoking room and then a small bar area. Where the ladies either dance or sit and try to entice for either a 40 minute or 1 hour session next level up.

Prices are approximate here. R120 minimum and if you session, I believe the standard cabin was around R480 and 1 hour is R590 (I have a picture but these are approximate) I bought some lady drinks and sessioned and my tab came to R775. This lady lets you review the receipt and I did not see any extra Gringo taxes or whatever. Lady quality is average up in there but only sessioned to experience the entire process.

Photoacompantes. I think some are independent and some have handlers and it's been 50/50 what presents and after a year in the Western world, didn't care. But. Now I'm seriously on the hunt for DSD (younger) top tier Hoes. I am not here for continued average poonannie and will now light up BarraVIP and begin the search your younger chocolate.

Have some established contacts now for my Dark Skin Doubles and these ladies readily give out their WhatsApp and have friends.

P.S.- Tried that Paris Cafe after a Transamerica session. Way the Fuk out their toward Argentina and not worth the drive as the ladies were nothing to write home about.

It's finally a Sunny Sunday!

Would make sense for an Aussie monger. As far as who has written with authority, when it comes to mongering in Brazil, I tip my hat to Bwana Dik whose writings were the actual foundation for Bubba Boy's guides (now badly outdated). Bwana Dik (out of San Francisco I think) did it first, and he did it well!

Having read the posts of the last 2 days with interest I have to say I'm looking forward to the best of both worlds between Zona Sul / Centro and Transamerica / Barra.

There's Privè's I want to go to like VIP & Shanti on one side and Eros & Euro Spa on Barra. And once I've done the fancy restaurants and touristy stuff, a few days lazing by the beach / pool in relative silence has its appeal.

I'm wondering, for those on the ground;.

Is Dolce Vita open / rumoured to open soon? More to the point, with Barbarella's closed is there much action roaming copacabana at night or is it Mabs / Luxo / Mosaico mainly?

Thanks in advance.

Photoacomphantes: For me. Initially it was a miss. I was getting baited and switched, but through experience found some gems. There is one apartment in copa that always has young hotties working there (at least 2 for 2)(r150-200) from the subsequent photos and address I get. Charge around 150-200, and anything for 100-150 I get cautious about. But I've found gems. I find 31 calling code (Minas Gerais) are usually hotties.

Yes, I've found the handlers awkward and not such an enjoyable process, but I still fuck. It's partly the reason I've not been so enthused lately. Also, I spent a few days / trips to jacarapegau. There are some good houses / programs that way. I assume it rotates, like it does everywhere. My input is PH is fun, and you can find good ass once you get more selective. Usually they have locals, which can be a nice adventure if you want to see some diff parts of rio.

In my current phase I have found myself wanting to pick up girls on the street. Like girls that sort of look 'normal' and see if I can get them. Today I walked 6 km from ipanema to flamengo in sandals. No success. I saw a lot of sugar babies / semi pros, although 1 x each was usually enough. I passed through a lot of hot young ass that way, but maybe I've spoiled my taste, because it doesn't seem as appealing to me as the professional bundas. Although I love the innocent and coming over to just fuck aspect of semi pros.

I've been planning to plot down at Transamerica and just chat up girls I see are hot. Bara def seems to be the place from all the woman I've met, or interest I've researched. It's good to know some of the photos are bait and switches, why I think it's good to go in person. I've heard and been to Olegario Street with one of my curvacious hot brancas who visits from SP, and it seems to be a place you can pick up a few working girls for the night, who are younger.

I've found the prives / programs in central good. You can quickly fuck 3 diff girls in a small radius, and they usually have a few in each building I've found. I think there all over the place, and you can get some hot / fresh ass out there. Although it can be 'miss' as well. I like it for what I feel as authentic Brazil, at least in some way.

Have not tried the Thermas (monte / centaur), nor do I have such an inclination to go after reading your experience; also I believe I can similar talent through sites etc. I hope I am not missing anything.

1 week in and if I can chime in on Transamerica a bit for us newbie's as this additional info probably would have helped me a out of the gate.

I second what Exec Talent said. If you're already in Brazil, stay in Rio for the New Year. When you're on the ground it's not going to be hard to find a place that hasn't rented and pay the normal price at a local agency or make a deal on Airbnb. My buddy and I did that during the Carnaval once and found a great 3-bedroom for the normal rate. And we had enough apartments to choose from to be picky.

You can even book a love motel for a day to be safe while you do the leg work. Seriously, it's a hell of an experience and you will regret missing out on it.

Headed out to Botafago for a PAcomphantes chica. Drove past Mabs on the way and said I would bail if I didn't like the PA chicas vibe. I walked into the apartment, and 3 youngish people were leaving the room, 2 girls and 1 guy (looked gay / neon hair). 1 girl looked really busted. I walked into the room to check the chick out, made up some BS and left. We were talking about all nighter, but I said it's uncomfortable to do it here, and she should understood.

Got a quick Uber to corner before Mabs. Walked for 1 minute and saw 2 chicas, one branca-ish and one negra. I'm not a big fan of black girls, although I've been more attracted recently and really wish I had duo'd. Anyhow, these girls were getting looks from the garbage men, and getting chased by a few guys, luckily I interacted with the branca in my broken Portuguese and quickly she offered 400 to come back to my place, with some loose terms. I wanted to take both of them back but ATMs were closed and I did not want to worry about 2 chicas with the doorman and unsure of how three would vibe. Anyhow, we had sex, she had a baby (who apparently died a few years back). The blowjob was amazing, her body was surprisingly fit. I was attracted to her. We finished twice and I asked if she wanted she could leave early and I could pay her 300. She was very happy and so was I.

I do have to say. One great thing about meeting face to face to before bringing girls back, you can gauge the women's personality. It's such a pleasure to be with a Brazilian sweetheart who is kind, services well and has a good vibe. I do not feel bad parting from my money in this situation.

I imagine not all girls are this quick and easy to negotiate with. It might be a golden rule for me. If the girls haggle too much, don't even bother.

So, I had been a bit busy with all the touring.

Last Sunday, I got Nina over for a pernoite.

I paid her 300.

Yesterday, I hooked up with callsign NIA NACCI, who has the same all natural rack, which is nice.

I popped 3 times at the Transamerica love shack.

I picked her up at Central, and uber'ed her big natural tits back.

We did all she wanted on the Uber Eats.

I popped 3 times that night, as mentioned, and am still in the afterglow.

I woke up with her this morning at 5, banged out a quick load (she is still asking for condoms but that shall pass me thinks).

Although I rarely do this, I met her ask, of 600 pernoite.

I ubered her over to Niteroi, where we bought fish, and had a nice breakfast of deep fried shrimp and maracuja.

I think I may consider a pad in Niteroi. Fresh fish. Fresh girls.

Oh, by the way, don't ask me for tips on buying mary jane or anything else. You can ask your girl, she will hook you up.

Greetings, lurker here!

I am currently planning my 2 month trip to Brazil in January and this forum has been invaluable. I'm thoroughly enjoying the stories and photos.

This will be my first ever trip to Brazil and indeed S. America. Usually, I go to Asia and Ukraine however they're out of the question. So.

I plan to land in Rio and stay in an Airbnb for 2 weeks, do the whole tourist thing, and then move onto another city where I'll base myself for 6 weeks with a few internal flights to other cities for tourism and mongering.

I've been looking at a site. Photoacompanhantes and looking at the prices. It seems to good to be true, and in my experience it usually is. There are girls available for the equivalent of £9. What is the catch?

The last time I took a punt at something like that was in St Petersburg, Russia. Some crackhead looking blonde turned up to my room with a huge pimp bloke which I had to pay.

I had been seeing a girl I met in Help and one night she suggested we get into a particular waiting cab. I declined and flagged one down. The other cab followed us and tried to run us off the road. Fortunately (not usually the case) we came upon a roadblock and I was searched by the police (who are known to plant drugs on tourist and extort payments). The other cab then left us alone. The girl told me that the cabbie was her boyfriend and he planned on robbing me. She decided to stay with me and ditch the boyfriend. Other than that one case, I have never had any problems in Rio. Cannot say the same about other countries, including the US. There have been reports of tourists in Rio getting robbed by escorts and even killed but I think that is rare. It would be good to hear from other forum members about their experiences.

You bring up an interesting point. I had been seeing a girl I met in Help and one night she suggested we get into a particular waiting cab. I declined and flagged one down. The other cab followed us and tried to run us off the road. Fortunately (not usually the case) we came upon a roadblock and I was searched by the police (who are known to plant drugs on tourist and extort payments). The other cab then left us alone. The girl told me that the cabbie was her boyfriend and he planned on robbing me. She decided to stay with me and ditch the boyfriend. Other than that one case, I have never had any problems in Rio. Cannot say the same about other countries, including the US. There have been reports of tourists in Rio getting robbed by escorts and even killed but I think that is rare. It would be good to hear from other forum members about their experiences.Damn. Why not catch an Uber? I've been in Rio for 3 weeks now. Not even close to having any issues. But I am staying in the tourist / safe areas.

Around 2008/2009, I had a "Husband" come knocking on my door because I paid his wife 100 R for an afternoon date. At the time, the dollar was like 1 to 1. 5 Real. I was getting 150 for all night from Help so I figured 100 R was reasonable for an afternoon romp. I got her number off the beach and sent her a message stating how much I would pay and my address. We had a good session, but when I went to pay her, she said she normally gets a minimum of 150 R for her dates. We didn't have an argument per say, but I could tell she was really annoyed that she was only getting 100 R. About 30 minutes after she left, her husband showed up asking me why I didn't pay his wife the 150 R (No door man in my apartment building after 5 PM) . I explained what happened and even showed him our text messages, I told him "If she didn't want the 100 R, she shouldn't have come to my apartment". Nothing ended up happening and they both left my door without any further money changing hands but it could have been a bad situation.

Damn. If you had bothered to RTFF you would have known that Help closed 2010, and back then it didn't exist Uber. :)
Btw, tourist area isn't the safe area. Lange nase. (I almost would write LOL if I didn't thought it seemed so weird). Take care!

However, like Sperto said, if you're staying in Copacabana, it's not safe. Quite the opposite, the farther you go from Copa, the safer and less touristy it becomes. Ipanema, Leblon and Barra are safer than Copacabana, but they are more upscale local neighborhoods and not "tourist areas. " And people must understand already that their personal experiences tell exactly bupkis about safety. Just because I haven't personally experienced any violence during my many trips to Rio doesn't make it safe.

Just talk to locals. Many Zona Sol residents are even scared to go on the bus or venture to Centro. To me that's overkill, but they have their reasons.

The locals are always afraid of downtown. I was in Bogota a few weeks ago and I always stay downtown. This chick was hungry but she was scared shitless to walk outside at night with me. At some points she held me tight and others she refused to walk another step. But when she saw me leaving her ass she would run and catch up. Sure you see some vagrants around but they don't fuck with anybody.

We military veterans have a term of art, "defense in depth".

In the military, that would mean you defend a piece of terrain by using all your weapons in mutually supporting (combined arms) plans.

Some, but not all, elements of my defense in depth are:

1. Some fitness training. Best to always run away. If someone throws punches, it is good to know how to block them with your hands. Generally, I always try to just use the least force possible to defend.

2. Buddy system. My best wingmen from ISG have martial arts training to some degree. We talk through security, IE, if we get attacked, we run to the closest police, and get an uber.

3. Your cell phone. Get a local sim chip. Number for local police is 190, for bombeiros (firemen) is 193. I've called police and they did show, 10-20 minutes later. I had been jumped by 10+, and the local cops got me out. I lost a cell phone (I always carry multiple), and have "concealed carry pockets" on my bags, which saved a lap top (which was in the water reservoir pocket of a 5. 11 tactical MOAB16).

4. I do carry knives, but again, play defense in how I use them, if ever. That said, read "shantaram".

5. I wear Vasco the gama shirts or masks. The goal in defense is to make the criminal pick the next victim. Vasco is the team of the poor criminals generally, and it is not the team that the average tourist picks (flamengo). I don't really care about futbol, but the best girls are vasco, because they are in the jungle, fight or die. The tenets of Brazilian culture are fighting fucking and fubtol.

6. I have also started wearing local fireman cloths (Rua the Republica 13, near Metro Vargas) -- long underwear, boxer briefs, shorts, shirts, even a mask, and ball caps. When I met my girl at Central (in the area between the tren and the metro, the chokepoint through which 90% of Rio GDPs pass, I wore: black tennis shoes, khaki pants (fireman wear khaki's), a grey fireman polo shirt, a grey vasco mask). No one is going to assault a Rio military fireman (bombeiro militar). My girl, Nina Deponca, who bartends at a bar in a favela in Zona Norte tells me Bombeiro Civil is even better (grey service pants, grey service blouse), as sometimes a bombeiro militar will be shot by a drug gang in her 'hood. They will ask for ID when you buy it, but then if your a tourist, and a estrangeiro, they will just sell it to you. The checkout clerks at the market call me bombeiro estrangeiro, with a laugh.

7. Have the right friends, best yet that you can call on a what's app video call to tell the cops or security that vagabundo is OK, a boa gente, back the fuck off and leave the man alone.

8. The hotel gets her ID. Best security ever.

Oh, by the way, say you have a new 19 year old Rihanna quality guest over. The first impression of you is: a bombeiro shirt and a vasco mask at the train station; and in the bedroom, you wear bombeiro underwear between fucking her 4-5 times at night, and the same the next day, all while cooking and uber eats ordering everything she wants. People hate cops but generally, they like firemen who don't care if you're smoking weed or doing other vagabundo type things, as long as you don't set the place on fire. That's a good look for our profession.

That is in almost any city that you go to. The locals are always afraid of downtown. I was in Bogota a few weeks ago and I always stay downtown. This chick was hungry but she was scared shitless to walk outside at night with me. At some points she held me tight and others she refused to walk another step.

.Once on a dark night in an alley I realized I had to pass a couple of guys "lookin'-up-to to-good". But as I considered it as a sign of weakness to cross the road just in front of them, decided to continue.

As I approached them saw one wearing Fla shorts (as lots do) and as they won the night before, on their victourious season, I'd throw up a "Bom Jogo Ontem" and a Shaka, just as I went through them. This rodwy-looking confused bunch went quiet for half a sec but then smiled at the wierd gringo, answering the sign.

Did it save me or not? Who knows, but better safe than sorry.

Flamengo is better than a nascar or other shirt that screams, "I am a gringo".

10. Wear a gopro on a neck lanyard (downside of the neck lanyard is it can be used as a weapon against you). If it looks like a fight coming, turn on the go pro, and record the incident. If there is some assault, make sure you are the victim -- she bit me, here is the blood, etc. Become an actor, watch porta dos fundos. My favorite response to crying working girl is something like "meu esposa e putaria," while feigning mock tears, tossing up water out of water bottle, onto her hair, another sure way to make a hooker run. Or the always funny, "melancia" as we recite the sobre mesa porta dos fundos.

Hey Group,

This has been my first trip to Brazil and I want to thank the group for the wealth of knowledge that has been shared on this forum. My home base is Rio, but I'll be traveling other cities while I'm down here. Got out of the USA before the covid lockdowns and curfews began.

My experience so far have been great. I used barrasVIPS for the P4P. A majority of the girls told me they were staying at Transamerica. All experiences were great. Photoshop was used for one girl to cover up her breast lift scar. It was bad and would not have reached out if I saw the scar on the listing, but she turned out to perform really well. Most were visiting from Sao Paulo. One had a sister with her that was listed on the site as well. All P4 P were at my hotel. I'll be going to their place next time to see Transamerica.

The ability to speak the language is key here and will help your chances with the semi pros and non pros. Can't stress that enough.

One side note I wanted to ask. While down in Floripa a few of the girls that I've been with that spoke English said they learned from tourist from Australia that they stayed with for 6 months. Is this common for Aussies to rent Brazilians for that amount of time? If anyone has any info on this and how they arranged this it would be much appreciated.

Keep the change.

Hi guys,

I've been reading this forum for over 10 years, and I gathered so much information, but unfortunately never went around to contribute until now.

I am in my late 20's, but have over the last 4 years done over a dozen trips to SE Asia, pretty much everywhere but my main go to place is of course Thailand followed by the Philippines. So yes, I am probably part of a vague of hobbyist used to Asia turning to see what Brazil has to offer (so my reviews will be a little bit comparing Asia to Brazil). With the lockdown in Europe, Asia closed, Brazil fully open, and incredible EUR-BRL exchange rate it seems to be a perfect opportunity to explore Brazil. I RTFF the forum as well as a couple of Brazilian forums to gather a lot of information and made my own list of interest points.

I am going to spend 3 weeks in RJ followed by a couple of weeks in SP, for a mix of mongering / tourism / chill.

Hotel:

I normally stay in 5 stars hotels, for those familiar with Asia my go to place are The Landmark / Sofitel in BKK, Hilton in Pattaya and ABC in AC. However it seems there is lack of 5 star girl friendly hotels at good price in RJ and SP. Even the likes of JW Marriott Copa seems a bit dated, fairly expensive for long stays and not guaranteed GF. So I decided to start with a couple of weeks hotel in Copa followed by Airbnb's in Ipanema, Barra the Tijuca and SP.

I choose Pestana hotel in Copa as it seems the best when it comes to being girl friendly and good value for money, despite the negative reviews on Tripadvisor, I find it not too bad, it does the job quite nicely. I recommend it, I choose the junior suite with a jet bathtub. First time I called a girl to my room I had to go down sign a form, the next time the girl was allowed to go up directly. Unlike Asia, they don't seem to keep their ID or call you when she enter / leaves.

ATM:

Bradesco ATM's near Pestana, 2500 real withdrawal limit. I recommend N26 Mastercard debit if you can get it, free card, official exchange rate, and just 1. 7 % withdrawal fee.

Sim card:

That's one of first thing I normally do, get a sim. I read this forum and other websites about getting a SIM card in Brazil, so I thought it would be easy, but it was not! I had read that foreigner can get and activate sim at Shopping Leblon for Claro and Vivo, and Rio Sul mall at Claro floor 3 and Vivo floor 3. And not a single of them was able to give me sim unless Brazil ID, expect Vivo floor 3 at Rio Sul, who told me first to come back in 1 hour because they have a problem with their prepaid machine, and then told to come back next day because it still doesn't work. So as I was giving up, I tried my last luck at Tim Floor 3 Rio Sul, and it worked. I took me over 5 hours made of ubers, 2 shopping malls, 8 different stores, waiting lines to get a sim. While I don't really minded it, as I have time and was able to just stroll the malls and see some Rio scenery, for those of you on tighter schedule, just go to Vivo floor 3 Rio Sul or Tim floor 3 Rio Sul with your passport. Alternatively if you speak Portuguese, you can just get a prepaid sim from any newsstand near you and then activate it by calling them. But I don't speak the language.

Girls:

Day 1.

First night, tired of my flight, I still wanted to enjoy some bunda as I have been kept frustrated by the never ending lockdowns back home. Since it's late night and didn't have a sim yet, I decided to get a girl from photoacompanhantes to my room, texted a few of them on whatsapp and finally got a girl called Agata. Quoted 150 real + 20 real for uber for 1 hour. I know that photoacompanhantes is risky business and high prob of bait and switches, but for that low price point it's not really a big deal, so I didn't have too high expectation anyway. The girl showed up in 25 min (at 2.30 AM), ofcourse not the girl on the picture but very similar, a nice looking dark blond hair, light brown skin morena with a delicious body, about 25 years old. Doesn't speak English, she started with a nice BBBJ, deepthroat, LFK, rimming, blowjob / facefuck on the small balcony, followed by oral on her, various position sex, and finished with a CIM, she swallowed and smiled! All of that to my room for 27 for PSE! That's insane, when I think of the mediocre performing Romanians asking 4 x that back home. Equivalent to about 1000 THB, that could be possible in TH, but I am seeing more girl asking min 1500 THB the last couple of years, and it's cheaper than Phil based on my encounters. Slept well that night thinking of the incredible value for money (I dare to say best VFM in the world? Good start to the trip.

Day 2.

Spend most of day strolling through shopping malls, decided to check out Copa 583 before going back to hotel. The address is written as 583 SL, I thought SL would mean ground floor. Once I got there, I didn't find it on ground floor, no sign either on the wall. Whatsapped them, but they didn't respond. Eden spa in same building was already closed (Saturday). Since I didn't want to go empty (or full), I decided to check out Copaterapias in same building sala 505. I had read good review on them. Told 170 real for "Relax Massage", presented girls on the computer, choose Emili. Was then told better to take the mix massage (relax, tantric) for 250 reals. I thought it would a hint that this one is full service. So I took it. Good facilities, good looking girl, smaller body, kept her face mask through the session, removed her bra but kept pants on. Light back massage, followed by B2 be with her boobs, turned, same sequence, then she started HJ, asked "sex? She answered no, so she finished with a standard he. While the massage was somewhat erotic, it wasn't really a good massage if you are used to the Asian places, so 250 reals for just he is too much. I don't recommend and will not repeat. On the way down, I saw SL written in the elevator! So now I know how to go to Copa 583 next time.

Past midnight, on the basis of my previous night success, decided to again try my luck on photoacompanhantes. Hooked up with Sabrina, same price 150 reals + 20 reals for uber for 1 hour. She showed up within 30 min, nice looking white brunette girl with nice bunda, and big fake tits recently made. About 28 years old. No speak English, she started with body kiss and enthusiastic wet BBBJ with PSE feel. Asked her for rimming, she said that's extra, I told her we agreed to that on whatsapp, she said no that's extra. Anyway proceeded to the balcony blowjob, some light deepthroating, then fucked, she didn't want to do doggystyle, DFK, she cummed twice and seemed to enjoy it, finished by cumming on her sealed lips. We had agreed to rimming and CIM, that was not delivered, although she did provide a good enthusiastic fuck overall, but somewhat felt a little bit rushed. Good vfm again but will not repeat her.

That's it for now, will see how the rest goes. First impressions are really good, Rio seems a nice city, nice people, the girls are hot, the weather is good, good vfm. Downside would be a lack of basic English for many people, whereas in Asia most people seems to have the basics. It's refreshing to walk by Copacabana beach and see people dancing on music and enjoying life, restaurants open, life going on. (I am not saying whether it's right or wrong in the middle of a pandemic, I am not judging just observing) in contrast to the cold dark sad winter lockdown at home.

I do miss one thing though, what I mostly do in Asia at night is to go to gogo bar / bikini bar, barfine 1 or 2 girls, then party at nightclubs at VIP quarters with them (and maybe their friends too), before going back to the hotel for long time overnight stay (or sometime days if good GFE and chemistry). I do enjoy more than just sex, I like to take the girl to eat, stroll around, go to beach, visit touristy spots, even have traveled to other city / country (in which case, she becomes a GF), since I don't personally feel I need to fuck many girls or many times to be satisfied. While I have read people doing that in Brazil, I need to figure out how to find these girls who are up for it, tinder doesn't real work for me, badoo is full of uglys, no gogo here. Perhaps I will try boates places like Kalabria, Dolce Vita, Mabs but not sure about the vfm there and lack of English (and covid risk in nightclubs?) If someone can point me where to look, I would appreciate.

Wow that reads almost like the Art of War. Contrary to your methods, though, my "defense" lacks any depth whatsoever. It is much, much simpler, but then I'm not a military veteran.

So since no one would mistake my whitey-white untanned mug for a face of a local, I don't bother with soccer or fireman memorabilia.

Instead, I just dress like a bum. Simple shorts, which never met an iron, a t-shirt and cheap but comfortable sandals. I try not to walk into deserted side streets in Copa after dark, although I've broken this rule on multiple occasions.

I don't walk anywhere in Rio visibly drunk (again, that rule has been broken too).

I also avoid NS Copacabana after dark because despite being a major thoroughfare, it's not safe. Av. Atlantica is safer and more interesting anyway, if you must be outside.

Of course, all the above might not work. People do get mugged on Av. Atlantica even in broad daylight, so shit happens.

However, should I get mugged in the future, I carry a cheap phone and no more than $30-50 in local currency, and I'm willing to cheerfully part with these possessions.

These are simple and, more importantly, easy precautions for a regular tourist that, I believe, will dramatically reduce the risks of bodily harm. Of course, when you stay in Rio for months at a time, you must strategize your defense more vigorously. But that's not me.

Some of the Brazilian attire simply doesn't fit well. My casual clothes from home just look different even when I try to blend in. Most Brazilians seem to have narrower frames. They generally don't have broad shoulders and V shape frames.

So I have decided to return for Rio for new years since I had so much fun at Halloween. My game plan is 3 to 4 a day. I will stick to it this time. I have been searching the Brazil forums hard and escort sites. I have had friends pick 8 ladies off Barravips. That is a done deal as long as they are available. I also plan on hitting a prive each day early. I will also contact two of my favorites from last trip. I will hit termas in the evening and clubs each night. Has anyone made a reservation at Pestana bm skybar, how difficult is it with limited Portuguese? I plan on going to Casablanca for new years eve if anyone is interested. Although I will not be buying more than 4 bottles this time. Thanks party on.

Why did you answer the door for someone you did not know?When I looked thru the peephole, she was standing in front of the door, her husband was standing off to the side, so I didn't know he was with her. It wasn't until I opened the door that I saw him, I thought she returned because she had forgotten something. It could have been a big issue, I am glad it didn't turn ugly.

This is because only ATM's associated with the Allpoint ATM network (Capital One's network) provide surcharge-free access and I as far as I am aware, there are no Allpoint ATM's in Brazil. I would check your statement if I were you.

A few years back I took my Capital One 360 debit card with me to Thailand. You better believe there was a hefty surcharge on my ATM withdrawal. That is why I use the Schwab debit card. It is the only debit card available to American citizens that will reimburse the user for any and all ATM withdrawal transaction fees anywhere in the world. I believe there is or was a similar debit card available for Europeans.

As I approached them saw one wearing Fla shorts (as lots do) and as they won the night before, on their victourious season, I'd throw up a "Bom Jogo Ontem" and a Shaka, just as I went through them. This rodwy-looking confused bunch went quiet for half a sec but then smiled at the wierd gringo, answering the sign.

Did it save me or not? Who knows, but better safe than sorry.I got a little taste of how rowdy those vasco fans are. I'm staying at Hilton Morumbi and Vasco stayed here. I hear drums banging and fireworks for a long time. I finally go down to smoke and there are police everywhere and a group of like 30-40 vasco fans. I'm not sure what they were upset about they looked upset bcuz from what I gather the game vs SP was today LOL.

You gave us elements #1-8 and #10. What was #9?

OEM.

10. Wear a gopro on a neck lanyard (downside of the neck lanyard is it can be used as a weapon against you). If it looks like a fight coming, turn on the go pro, and record the incident. If there is some assault, make sure you are the victim -- she bit me, here is the blood, etc. Become an actor, watch porta dos fundos. My favorite response to crying working girl is something like "meu esposa e putaria," while feigning mock tears, tossing up water out of water bottle, onto her hair, another sure way to make a hooker run. Or the always funny, "melancia" as we recite the sobre mesa porta dos fundos.

I do miss one thing though, what I mostly do in Asia at night is to go to gogo bar / bikini bar, barfine 1 or 2 girls, then party at nightclubs at VIP quarters with them (and maybe their friends too), before going back to the hotel for long time overnight stay (or sometime days if good GFE and chemistry). I do enjoy more than just sex, I like to take the girl to eat, stroll around, go to beach, visit touristy spots, even have traveled to other city / country (in which case, she becomes a GF), since I don't personally feel I need to fuck many girls or many times to be satisfied. While I have read people doing that in Brazil, I need to figure out how to find these girls who are up for it, tinder doesn't real work for me, badoo is full of uglys, no gogo here. Perhaps I will try boates places like Kalabria, Dolce Vita, Mabs but not sure about the vfm there and lack of English (and covid risk in nightclubs?) If someone can point me where to look, I would appreciate.I found and enjoyed 3 great gfs, one thru Brazilcupid, 1 beautiful Colombian chick visiting I met on the tourbus to see the Christo, and the last off a dating / foreign wife finder website I googled. (can't remember the name) Only one spoke english the rest we google translated happily outside of sex. You can try Latinamericancupid also without joining and see if they have many in the area chicas active in the last week before deciding to try it out.

General report on the last two weeks in Rio:

I no longer recommend the Pestana hotel. The staff is great, the location is great, and it is girl friendly. However, the damn place is in urgent need of renovation. I had to move rooms twice due to things just being broken in some way. Two rooms had damaged / jammed balcony doors. None of the three rooms started with a safe. Two rooms had toilets that did not properly flush. The elevator takes foooorrreeevvverrr (always sounds like it's going to fall down the damned shaft), and only two of three are in operation (perhaps because the hotel is operating at reduced capacity? The hot water often did not work. Two rooms had inoperable phones. The first time they moved me, they actually moved me to a room with an inferior view on the wrong side of the building. So, again, I don't recommend it.

For escorts, I would lean heavily on Barra VIPs or Rio VIPs. Pictures were generally more accurate than using say photoacompanhantes. Still, a lot an extra two hours for your appointment as your girl will almost definitely be late. They suck at time management. Also, you will often be talking / whatsapping / whatever with an agent, rather than the girl herself, and the agent will claim to be said girl. This can often account for a girl being confused / unaware when you request a particular service that she's not comfortable with despite you "confirming" that she was. Photoacompanhantes does have some real postings, so it's still worth checking now and then. Just keep in mind that things that seem too good to be true often are. I had 4 successful if severely late appointments through Barra / Rio VIPs and a couple with PA. Just keep in mind you will be paying more for Barra VIPs / Rio VIPs. A lot of them stay over in Barra, but a good chunk of them stay in around Copacabana, and you can narrow down your search with the filter options. I recommend picking closer ones when possible to help mitigate how insanely late they often are.

For clubs like Monte Carlo, Centaurus, Solarium, and. Some other one somewhere in Centro. I much preferred Centaurus for selection (I tend to go for younger paler sorts). It's definitely not the cheapest option, however. Keep in mind it's closed on Sundays and several holidays, for you folks used to places like that being open every day. If you arrive prior to 8 pm, you may be swarmed by the girls as you may very well be the only dude there. Some are fine with this, I found it annoying, plan accordingly. I had a session with two gals from Centaurus and continued to see one outside of the place.

For prives, do not trust the pictures they share in various pictures about their staff. Almost without exception, they are heavily touched up. This is not to say they're necessarily ugly, just that the too good to be true rule applies here as well. These tend to be open M. F and not late at night, plan accordingly. Having been to six of them, I can't say I preferred one over the others.

This will probably be my first and last trip to Rio as I want to hit Europe next, but I don't regret coming.

They probably say the same thing this dude came here and can't speak basic Portuguese LOL. That's that colonist attitude I can't get with I'm sorry. Before I started traveling I learned Spanish, I been trying Portuguese but it's tough BUT I'm trying they getting the jist and they tell me I speak well which is encouraging to learn more and speak better. This ain't the Philippines, these are strong minded, proud people and if you can't communicate how they see it is that's your problem.Did not come across a single person who had an issue with my inability to communicate in portuguese. Everyone I "needed" to talk to seemed down with passing a phone back and forth (or using their own, etc). For short trips in the modern age, you really don't have to worry about speaking the language of the country you're visiting. No country wants to turn away tourism dollars because the foreigner can't speak their language if they don't have to. Just don't go demanding people speak your language in their own country and you're generally fine. Even a few of the girls I was with were wanting to learn English not because they wanted to go to England or America, but because it's an internationally recognized language of commerce and travel, and it would serve them with not just their customers but wherever they wanted to travel to. In general, just be kind / polite and level-headed people are willing to overlook communication hurdles.

I stand corrected , Ill have to get that swab card then . Still better than Wellsfargo where they charged me the using another atm fee , that bank charged a fee and the foreign transaction fee . Looks to be less for far . Im still learning and thanks to guys like you my guy learning every time . Happy huntingSchwab no longer does hard credit pulls when you open an account. They changed that policy late last year. Just open a brokerage account and bank account and make a deposit and you are good to go. It was a very easy process and the card worked at all the ATMs in Rio.

I take it you have no interest in meeting a non-pro even by accident.One has to be honest with himself to still enjoy life without slipping into a fantasyland. My days of conquering non-pros in the age group I'm interested in (and even more so on a short travel time) are behind me.

Secondly I haven't been to Rio( touchdown Wednesday from SP)but when you get to SP you wont hear many speaking English I don't know if most here do or don't but doesn't appear to have hindered their ability to make money. I see cars and fly clothes and hoes like I'm back in San Fransisco.The only people I have heard speaking English is the front desk people and couple Americans I spoke too and a young Asian dude from Belgium .It just sits kinda weird with me when people make those statements. Ask any long time member they will say learn some Portuguese. I believe you said will be here a month so you have time. I don't speak good Portuguese but I have gotten pats on the back for what I do know and I know they appreciate the effort. Yes I will whip out the phone when necessary but 1) I don't like pulling out my phone a lot (streets are watching) Secondly it's a more organic experience speaking the local language. I understand not all of us dig culture most are here just to use the people up and go home but not me, I like to connect with the people on some level not carry the attitude bend to my will because I have a pocket full of dollars.

Colonist attitude? Locals never expect tourists to speak their language, although they appreciate if you do, even a little. But seriously, do you learn the language of every land you're traveling to? Or you're limiting your travels only to Spanish and English-speaking countries? If so, that's your loss.I wouldn't say that, Spanish after all is spoken in 21 nations around the world some of them the biggest with the most beautiful women so that def a good one to be armed with. And to be honest don't have much interest in Europe or Asia. I like what I like. But like I said I would never land anywhere in the world and say gosh I was surprised most people don't speak English. Why the fuck would they if they don't work in business or hospitality. But maybe I'm crazy.

Especially when announcements and everyone around you is speaking that different tongue LOL. Like this trip I had a connect in Houston when I boarded I sat wrong seat so I tell the guy my bad do you want to switch, didn't understand a word. Portuguese only and we was just leaving the states LOL. Good thing dude in the middle was Brazilian-American and bridged that gap. I just try to get in where I fit in when I'm in another place, follow the laws, follow the customs and talk like they do. When I'm in the DR I say Klk manito, in Mexico I say a la verga guey. In Colombia I say que chimba hijueputa and here in Brazil tudo ótimo. No offense to nobody but I'm not with that elitist what I consider elitist attitude you should speak what I speak bcuz of however you feel.

I agree with the comment of BMo814.

TrueBlue's attitude is arrogant, and not my taste in how to enjoy Brazil.

I sat across the table from ISG TrueBlue at Mabs on Friday and watched him converse with a GDP by this method of passing a cell phone back and forth, agreeing to a program, and ISG TrueBlue didn't even realize that his GDP choice was a Transvestite -- albeit a very passable Trans. There is a lot more to communication that comes from just a computer in your hand.

In the event, ISG TrueBlue was saved by my girl, ex-4 x4 Fanny, pointing out that his "girl" was a boy with a tit job and a wig. For her vigilance, I tipped her 100 reais, as did ISG TrueBlue. To be fair, it's not his fault, rather the fault of Mab's for not screening the "girls" well enough.

On Sunday, I did a pussy patrol with ISG Chris H and his friend to VM.

We went to the OP across from Mosaico.

We walked through VM.

We went back to the OP and planned.

We did not want to pay up for Mosaico's higher prices, since there was not much selection due to the rain.

So we had a few burgers and beers.

Then we went back into VM and marked targets, and blew our loads.

I picked a negra who said she would do BBFS for $100. I tipped her $20 (so she could get credits on her phone, so she could contact me on Facebook and pass me her whatsapp number for sessions at my apartment). She was a 5, but had a nice BBFS pussy, and I blew a load on her shoulder like a gentleman, smoked a little, and then had a beer and linked up with my wingmen Chris H and his buddy. We got the number of "bruna" a hot 21 YO morena falsa magra, for the cost of a beer (8 reais for a Brahma).

Then a high priority target of mine -- a Mulata 19 year old with no kids -- came bouncing across the road to give me a hug, and say when we going to do pernoite. I scheduled with her for Monday at 17 h (double booking since Skin Kira Noir Diamond is supposed to meet me at 16 h for another pernoite) . So life is good.

Monger on fellas.

9. Is a taser / electroshock device.

11. Rehearse common self defense scenarios preferably with a local Brazilian martial arts academy, maybe with your best girlfriend.

A) Here's a scenario: she goes into the kitchen after you have a fight about money. She is going for what reason?

B) You start to fight with a girl. Maybe you want to fuck, and she refuses, and you want her to leave. Things start to get heated. The best thing to do is: A) start filming on your smart phone, including maybe putting the phone in a tripod as you say, I want you to leave ("Quiero vc emborra. " B) empty your pockets of all your money including the $5000 reais at her demand; C) call the cops. Why?

12. As suggested by another monger, only carry money and items that you could lose, eg, I went to VM tonight with 200 reais at most, distributed in 3 wallets. I also agree carrying a burner phone is best, but I need to follow this good advice too. (thanks for those good tips).

I checked out a Brazilian language CDS from my library before I made my first trip, and just listened to them and practiced.

If you sit at your house and social isolate and play video games all day, you can do that much.

Now I've been here in Brazil 27 times as much as 10 months at a time.

I still want to learn better Portuguese! I will probably take a class. The bubba boy guide mentions some choices, like at PUC-Rio. BR.

I think I will start reading some books, like FIM by Torres, or the Porto language version of the subtle art of not giving a fuck.

I've been out at least one of the mongers here who thinks that learning Porto is not required for their travel to Brazil, and it sucks being out with such lame people, whom I've dropped.

They probably say the same thing this dude came here and can't speak basic Portuguese LOL. That's that colonist attitude I can't get with I'm sorry.

I suspect that's one of the reasons many guys here don't like calling and scheduling girls. They prefer termas and prives in Rio. Boates and clinicas in SP. The girls are right on front of you.

As far as internet photos, it's really hit or miss. Sometimes a wide miss. Most of us read reviews / recommendations here and in the local language board to try to differentiate.

Thanks for the report.

Did you not liked Rio? If not, what are the general things that you did not liked?Oh, it's definitely just a personal taste thing. I just didn't feel the attachment I did to say Bangkok. Communication barriers are a little more pronounced in Rio, even in touristy areas, than say Bangkok as well, where really any venue that wants to do business with foreigners can speak at least the very basics. Rio, while being gorgeous, is also not as safe as I'd like, which prevented me from being willing to really explore on my own. I shouldn't have to feel like I have to "blend" to feel safer. Brazilian girls are often gorgeous, but apparently they did not cure my yellow fever. It also doesn't help that they all seem to be on their own understanding of time and it can be hell trying to land one that matches pictures, even after having them confirm with video over whatsapp (they are some godsdamned photoshop/video alteration wizards). Lastly, I just missed Bangkok's restaurants; Rio's food isn't bad, and the steak is pretty good, but it can't compare to the selection of a larger city that has damn near everything. Yeah, it was cheap, but that's not really unique when you take other popular mongering locales into consideration.

Like I said, none of this is an outright condemnation of Rio, I just wasn't thrilled enough to come back anytime soon. I didn't dislike this trip. I will be trying Europe next due to some recommendations from others, but I fully expect to return to Bangkok at some point, having had many many successful trips there. Still, it's a matter of personal taste, so don't let my words dissuade you from visiting, unless for some odd reason you're just like me.

And again, pay no mind to people saying learn the language blah blah, if you're only coming for a short trip and perhaps never again. No one really cares if you don't speak the language. It presents obvious barriers, but translators have come a long way, especially now that you can just talk into the things without ever typing a word. Generally if you're polite and understanding, people will reciprocate, translator or no.

There is a Brazilian Portuguese textbook, Portugûes Básico Para Estrangeiros, that you can buy or find online if you're more academically minded. I used it in a class I took at the local college. It also has CDs. I'm also using Duolingo, which is free, to brush up on my vocabulary and grammar.

Say, can anyone recommend a fun Brazilian TV show to watch, something like Friends?

I wish that the Porta Dos Fundos videos came with Portuguese subtitles, so that I could catch the slang.

Day 3.

Sunday, slow day. Most of the massage / prive places being closed. Just enjoyed the Copacabana beach and did some strolling around. At night, based on my positive experience of photoacompanhantes, I wanted to see how far I could go down on price but keeping quality. So I messaged a few girls, and found one asking 120 reals for 1 hour for BBBJ / CIM / Rimming. Took uber down to her place, on 583 Av Nossa de Sra. , late night around 11 PM. The girls I met was thick, both body and brain wise. Not like her photo at all, but that was expected. Also probably a new comer. She straight away ask if I wanted a threesome for 200, I declined. The session was very poor, poor inexperienced blowjob, lame sex, no rimming, no CIM. Finished on her boobs. I guess going from 150 reals to 120 reals made a big drop in quality. I was out in 30 min. Experience comparable to what a Rom will give you for 50 £ in UK. Bad.

Day 4.

After some touristy stuff, decided to check out Eden Spa at 583 Av Nossa Sra. , receptionist using translator says it's 200 reals for 1 hour sex + massage. Led to a small room where girls come one by one for presentation. 5 girls shown. Mostly average. I choose Laeticia, because she was acting really slutty when she introduced herself to me, I thought it was funny. Took shower, then she started with a blowjob, unfortunately she was a "Deep cleaner" : one of those girls who will try to clean the dick in every corner, I just find that annoying so I told her ok do a CBJ. The CBJ was good, although I hate CBJ. Sex in various positions, she took it well, acting slutty and all. Finished on her "sealed" lips again. She then tell me using translator that she had a "pigmentation" of her mouth done last week so her mouth is sensitive. Ok whatever. Then she gave a good 30 min massage to finish off. Took shower and left. Not bad overall, kind a comparable to my favorite place Snow White in BKK.

Evening, decided it was time to try something more expensive rather than budget. So I hooked up with a girl from hotside, she asked 400 reals per hour or 1400 reals pernoite. Was expecting to see a white girl based on her pictures, it turns out to be a very light brown girl, that's even better for me. Very cute and innocent looking. No English, communication was difficult. Anyway proposed her a shot of Double black label, then went to bed. Very good BBBJ, sucking balls, gave her a DATY, good kissing, then when it comes to sex she asks me if I have condom, I said no, she try to find in her bag and can't find. She comes back and suck me again, then asks me if it's ok to fuck without. I said ok. BBFS. Very delicious girl, tried to do a creampie but couldn't, prob due to alcohol / tiredness. Asked her to suck me and finished on her face. She then just lays on bed for a few minutes, asking if I wanted to keep her for the night. I explain her since I am on a 1 month trip, I need to manage my budget, and her pernoite rate will drain my money fast. I did hesitate whether to offer her a lower rate or even accept the 1400. However I find that quite expensive, especially compared to the local average salary, and also compared to Asian rates (I am used to 5000 THB LT at gogo's = about 900 reals). However, based on her offering BBFS (I suspect it was a way for her to make me take the pernoite), I might take the bite and take her for pernoite later in the week.

One note: for the first time in all my trips, I feel speaking Portuguese is a big advantage here in Brazil. Not speaking the language does indeed make things difficult here, both with girls and the daily life. Too bad, however I do already speak 5 languages on a daily basis, and just don't have time / motivation to learn a 6th.

Oh, it's definitely just a personal taste thing. I just didn't feel the attachment I did to say Bangkok. Communication barriers are a little more pronounced in Rio, even in touristy areas, than say Bangkok as well, where really any venue that wants to do business with foreigners can speak at least the very basics. Rio, while being gorgeous, is also not as safe as I'd like, which prevented me from being willing to really explore on my own. I shouldn't have to feel like I have to "blend" to feel safer. Brazilian girls are often gorgeous, but apparently they did not cure my yellow fever. It also doesn't help that they all seem to be on their own understanding of time and it can be hell trying to land one that matches pictures, even after having them confirm with video over whatsapp (they are some godsdamned photoshop/video alteration wizards). Lastly, I just missed Bangkok's restaurants; Rio's food isn't bad, and the steak is pretty good, but it can't compare to the selection of a larger city that has damn near everything. Yeah, it was cheap, but that's not really unique when you take other popular mongering locales into consideration.

Like I said, none of this is an outright condemnation of Rio, I just wasn't thrilled enough to come back anytime soon. I didn't dislike this trip. I will be trying Europe next due to some recommendations from others, but I fully expect to return to Bangkok at some point, having had many many successful trips there. Still, it's a matter of personal taste, so don't let my words dissuade you from visiting, unless for some odd reason you're just like me.

And again, pay no mind to people saying learn the language blah blah, if you're only coming for a short trip and perhaps never again. No one really cares if you don't speak the language. It presents obvious barriers, but translators have come a long way, especially now that you can just talk into the things without ever typing a word. Generally if you're polite and understanding, people will reciprocate, translator or no.Very true, despite only being 5 days of my 3 weeks trips here, I feel exactly the same way as you. Rio will not replace a place like BKK, but it does the job somewhat until this pandemic clears out.
