[QUOTE=Albert Punter;1534614]Could be "I swear" or could be they refer to something religious?[/QUOTE]I was in MC with two girls in the room. One a big booty mulatta and the other, Porn star Kelly. The mulatta was sucking my dick while Kelly was kissing my neck. I stopped Kelly and pointed at my dick to let her know it was her turn to start sucking. That is when she did the X symbol with her fingers, kissed them and shook her head no.

Does anybody have any problems with GPS signals reception in Rio?
I have a Garmin nuvi 200w with Brazil map loaded, but the problem is the satellite signals is nonexistent.
A taxi driver has another brand of GPS and he does not have problems.
Anybody experiences this?

It has Garmin's Rio CityXplorer and South America 2013 map. If you're downtown, the tall buildings will obscure the signal. Some of those Brazilian GPS units also receive TV signals. They cost around $150USD+ Good site for free Garmin maps of the world is

[QUOTE=Mr Enternational;1543618]I always use google maps on my cell phone. No maps to load and no extra devices to carry around.[/QUOTE]Google is OK if you have wifi or a cheap download plan. But I still find it slow compared with a good offline GPS app. You can get one for the whole of Brasil for pennies and it is more accurate than Googlemaps. Googlemaps is helpful for streetview, but it has taken me to the wrong location several times in Brasil. Things like street numbers in a long street or just not recognising a place name. But whatever works for you. [url]http://www.skobbler.co.uk/apps/navigation[/url]
If a brazilian applies and gets a Tourist Visa to America, how long do they have before they have to travel? I think as Americans we must travel to brasil within two weeks of us receiving a Brasilian visa, so I wonder if it is the same for them.

Almost all applications are being approved.
Where or from who can I get these food stuff:
Premium quality beef franks for hotdogs or beef franks of acceptable quality, similar or comparable to American counterparts.
Quality beef patties for hamburgers, or beef patties of acceptable quality, similar or comparable to American counterparts.
Mustard, spicy mustard, relish of good quality.
Hot dog and hamburger buns of good quality.
Maybe suggestion on Brazilian brands of good quality.
All information greatly appreciated.
Hope this is an appropriate place to post this question.
I will be in Rio next week and would like to see if I can buy World Cup tickets while I am there. I want to buy tickets for the Portugal vs USA match in Manaus. I missed the third and final FIFA ticket sale a week ago, but I have a feeling that my unfamiliarity would have left me empty handed anyway.
Anyone know a good reliable source of tickets in Rio? If I can get tickets, I'll buy an air ticket to come back to Brazil during the game.
Thanks in advance!
Only a few more days till I am in Rio! Tee hee! (My best Al Bundy!)
Just a couple of quick general questions:
1. Do I really have to carry my passport everywhere? I read in a general travel book, I forgot which one, that you can get away with a photocopy of the face page if it is "certified." I assume that that is some kind of notarization and stamp. Is this true? And if so, where do I get it done? At a cambio? I would really prefer not to let some cop innocently ask for my passport and refuse to give it back.
2. I read somewhere that May 1 is a brazilian Labor Day. Do the termas and massage parlors / prives close? What are my options if so?
3. Also wanted to get an idea of how many people actually swim in the water. I like to surf (strictly small time) , but don't want to get sick in the water. I remember reading some really nasty posts in the recent past about sewage. Just how bad is it?
Thanks in advance!

1. You are obliged to always carry some ID. Get a copy of your passport certified at a cartório.
2. Yes. VM.
3. I always swim in the water and never got sick, so does millions of other people as well. Some days the water is cleaner and other days it's not as clean.

You will probably get traveler's diarrhea since you aren't used to the bacteria. So bring some lactobacilin or some probiotc.

Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]Just to add a couple more points to sperto's response. Aside from a copy of your passport, I would also make a copy of your visa showing the dates to carry along with your passport copy. As for going for a swim, I have heard from my brazilian friends that the water on the Copa side is actually a bit cleaner than the Ipanema side. The Ipanema side has the sewer outlet closer. However, Ipanema has nice eye candy :)
