Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=PatmarBeleza1;1294419]I suspect that MC and L, along with the Copa, Ipanema, Leblon Termas will be closed until the end of Rio+20. Rio+20 has as high a international profile as the upcoming games according to my conversations with the Class A, laughing A's, and their circle. We'll see.[/QUOTE]There could be something to that. I have noticed that as I walk around the city, whether in Centro or Copa, Ipanema, etc, there is an increased number of parked police cars with the siren lights flashing, and 3 or 4 officers standing around. Interested to see if that will still be the case after this Rio+20 deal is over.

When 4x4 was shut down last year. 4x4 girls showed up at other termas, like MC. Will be interesting to see where the talent goes during the shutdown, especially if it does last through end of Rio+20. Cartman should be doing two duplas with MC girls a day for 100R!

I was with my nephews yesterday and one of them is getting married next year. They told me they are thinking about going to Rio for the Bachelor party early next year. I know what I think of this but it's good to get ideas form knowledgeable people.

None of them have been to Rio before or traveled much outside the US.

They are in their early to mid 30's.

They party to the fullest with everything.

Should be a crowd of about 8 or 9 of them.

My feeling is that if this was 2005 with a little coaching should be no problem but in today's climate what do you think?

Thank you, I'll never go to Lapa again.
I have a friend that got robbed in Copacabana, should I avoid Copa as well? ;)

How the hell do all these idiots get robbed in brazil. I went to brazil about 10 times, Costa rica, tijuana, and haven't been robbed once. You people that get robbed are attracting attention or arent using street smarts. I just don't understand. Take cabs are subway everywhere. Don't walk where there are no people and look to see if you are being followed.

If you follow common since anywhere, the likely of such incidents happening percentage wise is small. But if you do what your friend probably did, then he will get mugged in a kindergarten with 3 year olds.

And for you to come on this board with Rio vets and leave such a post is pathetic. Tell your friend to go some where safe like Washington DC near the White House! LOL! No maybe a safer war zone like near the Buckingham Palace, where the just found a body of a dead girl! There is nothing sinister about Lapa!

If so, he's lucky he still has his family jewels.

At the entrada, there are soldiers posted. Also, there is an unusually high number of ships patrolling the waters.

Even before the MP went on strike, I saw the MP monitoring the MF. That's what a former military junta do. They patrol to keep the poor from rioting in criminal activity. You go to DR, Jamaica and any 3rd world country you will see mobilization or patrols. In Ipanema and Leblon you see civil police 3-4 deep. It's nothing to be alarmed about. As an American I'd go to the US State departments website for Brasil. You's see Colombia having advisory alerts and not Brasil. You guys worry about the wrong things on a sex board.

In all the years I have been visiting Rio, I have not seen the same activity as frequently. I never said I was worried, it was just an observation. BTW, these are observations I notice on the way to having sex, and on the way back from having sex.

Hi,

I was many many years ago in Rio when working on ship, and I would like to see the bars with the girls, are they still existing or closed?

It was possible to take the girl and go to nearby room.

Anybody know names etc? Is it safe anymore to go there?

On the other hand, are there similar clubs like in Germnay FKK clubs in Rio?

Cheers

Remember, the "Rio+20" international tree-hugging convention is going on right now. There are TONS of foreign heads of state and other high-ranking government officials in town for the convention. I'm betting A LOT of the added visible security is for them. Especially the patrol boats off the beaches as the convention is taking place at Ft. Copacabana.

Copacabana is a photograph exposition.

Are L, MC, T, and other Zona Sul Termas open?
