[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2680347]This is progress, but it is too late for me. I fly into SP in 2 weeks. What I would really appreciate is for Uncle Joe to waive the Covid-19 test requirement for my return flight back to MIA. What are the odds of that happening in the next couple of months?[/QUOTE]The Brazilian government is probably going to change the rule next Monday, the fourth of April.

You are a scholar and a Gentleman. Nice analysis. When are you back in Rio?
[QUOTE=OJeito;2680513]Senhor Vagabundo, You might just be right about reasons concerning the BRL's recent gains vs the usd in the today's current economic climate. It seems Covid's rise and fall has surely played a critical role in the exchange rate. The one thing that continues to baffle me is that other neighboring SA countries and their currencies have hardly been effected in the same sense. Colombia's COP has largely been unfazed by the performance of the usd as covid winds down and tourism continues to explode in cities like Medellin. The COP has hovered around the same exchange rate and has only fluctuated a tiny bit in recent times. Argentina's peso continues to lose ground against the dollar, almost daily. The Peruvian sol has been holding steady. All these countries were deeply effected by COVID too but I'm not seeing the dollar lose ground the same way it has in Brazil as tourist in all these countries has begun to flourish again. I can't help but think that there are other determining factors in play that better explain the BRL's I'm not an world economist and I'm hardly qualified to speak on this subject but I can't help noticing the currency trends of other SA countries in comparison to the BRL. Will the BRL continue to gain against the dollar? Only time will tell.[/QUOTE]

I don't give too much credence financial talking heads let alone social media prognosticators.
There are so many factors behind currency pairs that in the short-run a strong Dollar doesn't necessarily translate into a weak Real. Just eyeballing charts I would say the Real overshot on the downside during the COVID crisis as compared to some of its neighbors. The correction post-COVID has thus been more significant. This was likely from a fear that the crisis would impact Brazil harder and longer. The Argentine Peso has been on a linear decline as the country's fiscal and monetary policies are a mess.

It declined not directly because of Covid, but due to decrease in the price of petroleum.

I haven't checked on Brazil's trade performance in several years, but they have been a big exporter of commodities and raw materials.

I know someone mentioned tourists coming back. Tourists don't make a big enough impact on the currency of a large economy like Brazil. As been said by the locals here many a time, we foreigners also don't really impact the price of garotas.
Since yesterday there is no need for a covid-test for vaccinated travelers.

I live in a rural part of the my country and getting a PCR test is a bit of a hassle so the news of this fresh implemented policy is very welcoming indeed.[/QUOTE]FYI, from the USA to Brasil and Back to the USA I used EMED at home covid tests. I. e. Yesterday morning at the Marriott Executive Apartments, I woke up, patted my girl friend on the bum and told her to sleep a bit longer. That I had some paperwork to do. Put on a T shirt and briefs and used the phone on my camera to read the bar code on the emed package and initiate the test procedure. Approximately 20 minutes later I had my negative results which I uploaded to United and I am all set to go back to the USA.
It is approx $100 for 6 of the tests. Two of my coworkers also used them with the same results this month. Works any place you have cell service or WIFI.
The average price of air tickets in Brazil rose up to 62% from January to March this year, considering a round trip, according to a survey by Kayak, a company specializing in travel search. The surge is related to the increase in fuel prices and greater demand for travel after the relaxation of restrictions imposed during the pandemic.

With the strong Real this hurts even more.

If you're looking to hobby and/or sightsee in multiple Brazilian cites, then this dovetails nicely with the question that was just asked in the Manaus thread, w/r to paying a nominal fee for an "airpass", for flying in Brazil and is it worth it.
[QUOTE=UniversalX;2683767][B]AirPass Info[/b] Contact this one for specific information - [URL]https://www.brol.com/airpass [/URL]

For those traveling to multiple Brazilian cities (perhaps 2 or more), a Brazilian airpass, might be of interest w/r to a great cost effective way to see other parts of Brazil and hobby as well. Note, these "airpasses" typically work better if you have at least 2-3 weeks of travel time.
BTW, some South American (SA) airlines offer a SA Airpass. So great possibilities and opportunities to hobby/sightsee in [b]Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Uruguay or Venezuela.[/b]
So for those BM looking to compare Brazil vs. Colombia (for example), the SA Airpss presents an interesting option to consider.
Hello!
Planning my first trip out of the US this summer, so far I've looked at Colombia, DR, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Now I'm thinking about Brazil. Just a couple general questions.
1. Would you recommend Brazil for someone who has never traveled abroad and never paid to play before? If yes, São Paulo or Rio and why?
2. About how much is 30 m-1 HR and over night?
3. I've noticed a lot of posters don't seem to like the 1-10 scale but if you wouldn't mind entertaining me, how would you rate the women in Colombia, Brazil, DR, CR, and Mexico. Or you could even rank the countries in whichever order you'd place them.
4. I just want to say thanks and sorry. I plan for late July early August and considering this will be a legit first time for me I really just want to have the best experience I can. Good food, good drinks, safe atmosphere, and beautiful 20 year old busty babes all over me! Pretty much every forum has been very helpful so far, even if it does just make my decision harder to make LOL.

[/QUOTE]Check/search the Sampa (SP, Sao Paulo) thread, around the middle of March 2022, for recent (BRZ vs COL) comparisons reports.
As for a ratings, everyone's rating system is going to be very different and YMMV definitely based on your on preferences.
One option (if you haven't already), is to simply take a look at the myriad of P4P and Escort websites or YouTube videos of the women found in each of countries that you're interested in, which should give you some insight w/r to looks, that meet your "rating system".
Examples:

[/QUOTE]BTW, if you're interested in a comparison w/r to mongering using SA (Seeking Arrangements) and P4P women found in BRZ vs. COL vs ARG, then you may want to checkout a couple of recent reports in the Sampa (SP) thread, also around the end of March 2022, by Steve 9696.
Brasil and Colombia have better looking women than the other countries on your list. Brasil is my favorite because the women's performance is the best (think PSE combined with GFE). But both are great destinations.
Brasil would be fine for you if you do some reading on this website (the Rio and SP threads several pages back). Rio and SP both have places where you can walk in and choose a girl and have a great time. If you have, say, eight days or more, I would do both cities. Do an open jaw ticket where you can fly into one and fly out of the other. If you like the beach, you'll want to spend more time in Rio. If you like a mega city (think NY but even much bigger), spend more time in SP. IMO Sao Paulo has the most beautiful women of any city in the World. But I actually enjoy Rio more cause it's a vacation city and it's spectacular. It's a city everyone should visit once in their life.
FWIW the termas in Rio might be ideal for you. You walk in, get a locker where you store your belongings, put on a robe and slippers, and walk into a club-type area where girls are walking around in (generally) high heels and bikinis. You can generally make out with and fondle the women -- sort of "test-drive" them before you make a choice. Pick which one (or ones) you like, go to a room, and do her. And no real negotiating is necessary, which is nice for a first-timer. You just get charged for entry, drinks you purchase, and the girl and the room.
The only thing about going to Brasil as a newbie is you might be spoiled for lots of other destinations.
