I was a newbie in São Paulo
[QUOTE=Hobbying;1758044]I see this board as a place for info, not a place to make money off people that don't know the city and can't speak the language.[/QUOTE]I visited Sampa first in 2005 on my way to another South American country. I stayed 2 nights in Novotel Center Norte. After arriving to the hotel I checked the Yellow pages and decided to call an escort agency. After awhile the girl arrived and she looked OK. The problem was that she was really tired and wanted to sleep and not to play my erotic games. I called the escort agency and told them the situation. They promised to send me another girl. I sent the first girl away and waited for the second one. She came soon, but when I opened the door I noticed that she was quite small, some 130 cm (4' 4" When she took her clothes off I noticed that there was something wrong with her. Well, her body proportions were not quite the same as we fully grown people have. She was a midget (sorry for not being politically correct). I had never fucked a girl like that, so I decided to give it a try. Everything was OK until when she was riding on top of me. I noticed some blood on my pubic hair. The girl was menstruating. I didn't want to fuck my midget anymore and sent her away. I called the escort agency and complaint, but they just washed their hands saying that they didn't know anything about that.
Next evening I took couple of caipirinhas too much and got horny. I had read somewhere about Rua Augusta (I didn't know anything about ISG at that time). I took a taxi there and walked up and down the street. I entered one sleazy bar and it was full of girls. I took a drink and talked to one of the girls. She looked really safada, just as I like them. The bar had kind of rooms in the basement and there we went. The sex was quite good and I didn't get ripped off by the bar. Afterwards I have laughed many times to my first experience in Sampa, but I was very lucky that I didn't get ripped off more than I was and mugged and robbed in Rua Augusta area.
Nowadays I know enough to move around a bit in Sampa but thinking about my experience in the past, I think it's great that there is somebody, who is willing to take the newbie mongers and new to So Paulo safely around the city and the places he knows best and shares his information with us. It can save many a lot of money, time and unpleasant situations.
I also like the boate scene, but it can be really expensive, even if very satisfying and pleasurable experience. For you who live in Sampa or in Brazil it may be easy to move around, but for somebody who is coming from outside, it may be overwhelming by it's size and also quite dangerous if you put your feet in a wrong area. And for people who don't speak Porto, the situation is twice as difficult.
