Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=TheCane;2991729]Lots of girls took it online and never came back. Working from home! Well, I'm not about to fly all the way to Rio just to sit in my hotel trying to find tutes via the Internet! I don't know. Have to find a way to bring back some of the magic of hooring and wenching in Rio. Balboa says it's done! [/QUOTE]You either change with the times or go without. I am sure there were people refusing to leave behind their horse and buggy after cars were invented too.

Can't be mad at someone wanting to work on-call from home instead of sitting bored in a loud dark club being plied with alcohol all day, hoping to get a customer. That shit must be worse than working on a cruise ship. Having to constantly be a party for some guys who in the end my not even want to pay them for sex. Stay home until someone calls to cut to the chase appears to be in their best interest.

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2991856]Cane, I think I asked before but it might've not passed the mods: it what establishment did you have bad experiences? Can you share?[/QUOTE]I think performance is not the problem. This is what he said.

[QUOTE=TheCane;2991729] The reason is that I simply did not find enough hot girls (especially brancas) working in the termas as on previous trips. [/QUOTE]If you count all the girls in all termas listed, it probably will be less than the number of girls in Scandallo or Casaroa in Sao Paulo. Even if you go to Scandallo everyday, it will feel stale over a few weeks because the limit imposed by his criteria.

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2991850]Wow! I've always known that price and quality don't always correlate in our hobby, but I'm pleasantly surprised about this being a case for a free clinic in Brazil. I probably wouldn't risk it on my own. Thanks Sperto![/QUOTE]I have been to the public hospital and it is also good for what I need. I sprained my ankle. I went to a nearby hospital and found the proper department. I provided my passport card and waited for my turn. The doctor had me take an x-ray, and told me there was no real physical damage and sent me home. The doctor spoke English too.I made an appointment with my doctor in US and got the same diagnosis. My doctor made an exception to see me for free because he was only licensed in the state I reside and I was in Sao Paulo.

I also saw a doctor in private clinic and it was not cheap. I think I spent more than are $1000 including test.

If you get a good private insurance, the hospital usually are more modern and rooms sometimes are luxurious. I have stayed in a room that is a one bed room suite like a hotel for free from my private insurance. Healthcare, private or public usually is better in large city like Sao Paulo from my experience.

One should put less weight on the bad reviews on google in Brazil or other countries, because it does not reflect the real situation.

I'm just saying there are hardly any working in the termas these days along with just a lot of plain fat and / or ugly women of all shades. Long ago when I started going to Brazil brancas were always in the vast minority, but there were enough pretty ones on duty, plus very attractive morenas. My favorite termas girl of all times is a morena.

Have to find a way to bring back some of the magic of hooring and wenching in Rio. Balboa says it's done! Even in Sampa I found the action not as busy. But I'm going to attribute that to me being there during Carnaval (I won't do that again)...[/QUOTE]I can't remember saying that "it's done" (Brazil). Though maybe I did while in a bad mood one day, LOL.

I'm back in Brazil tomorrow as a matter of fact, flying a favorite in from SP for a couple days in Rio, then back to the hunt.

I'm a diamond hunter in the lower end venues. I almost always find one.

In SP, Casarao has been great lately for me as well as other scattered places around town.

I'm not a Scandallo guy, though I go at times when a buddy really wants to go.

I normally just chit chat and get numbers.

In Rio, all over Centro and VM, etc. I enjoy it.

Plus I've got a good group of GF's I made over time and just a phone call away.

I do agree about Carnaval time. I usually avoid Brazil at that time.

The parades, the dance, etc are beautiful, I'm just not into crowds and slowness of normal venues at that time.

Enjoy!

[QUOTE=TheCane;2991941]All of them except for Quatro por Quatro, Solarium, Monte Carlo, and Perola Negra. Hit a lot of places. Full report later.[/QUOTE]Thanks. That's all I need. As long as Tier 1 termas are still good, I'm a happy camper. If I manage to find someone doable at Eden, Bel Prazer / Dark Room or other prives like this, that's a cherry on top.

I always buy a travel insurance that covers medical expenses up to a certain degree. Of course, it's not ideal, because you're supposed to pay first, then cross your fingers hoping they reimburse you without a hitch.

[QUOTE=Degenerate24;2990047]The visa cost is $80, expensive.[/QUOTE]The new Visa year is 2025.

Does this mean the visa requirement is pushed back another year to April 2025?

[QUOTE=LoverBoy#2;2992137]The new Visa year is 2025.[/QUOTE]

See this map from economist dot com for.

1. where the brancas ('brancos") are.

2. where it is safest.

The short answer for both, is barra.

Barra the tijuca.

This would mean.

If you want brancas, not just in the termas, but also on the beaches, stay in barra the tijuca.

If you want to be safest, same.

[QUOTE=Vagabundo1;2991945]There are a lot of brancas in Perola Negra and the beaches of barra.[/QUOTE]

My research is telling me that the best prive for quality of girls and rooms is Belprazer, Av. Rio Branco, 185 - sala 2114 - Centro. This trip to Rio is my first ever totally cashless visit. Anyone knows whether this prive accepts credit cards?

I always pay cash so I can't say if the price paying with cards is the same as when paying with cash (some privées have different prices).

[QUOTE=Sperto;2992241]Yes, Belprazer accept cards.

Not so 4X4. I'm wary of using card at Centaurus, too many reports of scamming by that terma.
