Hey guys, new to sao paulo but not new to the forum (or rio, check my reports). Can't wait to get back out here and start contributing again. Want to know two things.
1) how bad is the noise from congonhas airport in the indianapolis area of sao paulo?
2) is the indianapolis / brooklin area about as safe as pinheiros (the safest, fwiu)?
I'm close to booking my apartment for the week (July 17 - 26), and I want to stay where the action is, but I want to know if I am setting up for disappointment (or is everything groovy). Thanks in advance for all replies!

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2566052]I thought it was safe, at least never felt threatened. Would stay there again.[/QUOTE]Right on. What about the airport noise, does the constant noise from airplanes become overbearing or is it really not that bad? I grew up in the deep south where people can't get enough of chainsaws, leafblowers, and lawnmowers, HELLA fkng annoying back when I worked night-shift and needed to sleep-in. Really just wanted to know if its going to be like that 24/7 or what.

Airplanes were not a nuisance. I don't remember noticing them.

Various members discussed the quietness of various hotels just northwest of Congonhas airport. It starts with Sao Paulo post #11093 and the discussion runs for a few days.
I have never stayed in that exact area. It seems flights stop running around 11 pm and resume around 6 am. The morning rush of flights is more intense. If you plan on working from the hotel or sleeping in, it sounds like choosing your hotel wisely is important.
I saw someone here draw a map showing a runway path veering over the Indianapolis / Moema area. I could not locate it. If you are out walking, there will be planes flying over.

Looked at google earth too, seems a lot of people live there and its the nice area of SP so it can't be too bad. Also found and read this study which details the situation [URL]https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-021-00746-7[/URL].
Also, according to google, anything between 60 and 65 db is about the equivalent of conversation, anything between 65 and 70 db is the about equivalent of laughter, and anything between 70 and 75 db is about the equivalent of a vacuum cleaner.
Hey guys,
Great info appreciate it all! I will be going to Rio and staying in cococobana in June. Besides the mongering scene I wanted to check out the night life. From what I know there's lapa and maybe some street bars. I want to meet locals, dance, and and have fun in the night time. Where do you guys recommend I check out? Thanks!

There are a lot dance bars that spill into a street party Fridays and Saturdays. COVID might alter the scene somewhat.
Lots of talk about chips for your phone on SP thread.
In RJ go to central you can buy a registered (cadastrado) chip for 17 r.
I have not found this in SP which goes to the SP / RJ contrast.
Then just add credits to your number.
For chips bot In rich world I have found google fi best, tho mr e likes Tmobile which worked well for me too.
I have att which works fine on my work phone.
A Samsung a01 can be had from stores like Americanas for 600 r.
[QUOTE=OneEyedMan;2546871]You can always get another girl to bang, but a good maid is priceless.
Does anyone remember the Seinfeld episode, where he starts sleeping with her maid, who stops cleaning but still expects to be paid. Then the question arises, exactly what is her paying he for? He fires her and she breaks up with him at the same time.[/QUOTE]This! There's a reason you never bang the help. You can always find a girl to bang; but, it's hardtop get a good, loyal and honest maid to clean your place / cook your food / run your errands properly making your life easier while not stealing you blind. 'Nuff said.
[QUOTE=Vagabundo1;2563336]Xpartan is right.
Moreover, two of the girls on that page live in barra, and one in my building; both of whom I have been banging for 6 years now, the difference being price.
One was a freelancer, who was 18 then, and was 150 r at motel Malaga, or in a apartment in Botafogo.
Now she asks 600, but will throw a bang to a old contact, haha.
The other I met in 4 x4, got her number, quickly, which is the key in a terma. They are working, so get the number of the girl you want, and let her work. Do not start sucking face, or equally importantly, suck face with her fellow barmaids in front of her. So I got that girl to a hotel, in this case shalimar. From there to my apartment, which was near 4 x4 on purpose. From there to viagems -- Buzios, arrail, ihla Grande, Petropolis.
Time marches on and in 2019 I had her pernoite, but she had become jaded. These are dog years.
Now, she asks 400.
She gets angry like a meter on a taxi with delays. And so I have moved on to this years model of 19 year olds.[/QUOTE][QUOTE]She gets angry like a meter on a taxi with delays.
