Quick thing to note:. Airport money changers at most airports are big scams, but the one at SP airport is especially bad.[/QUOTE]Safra, what a joke these guys are. They have been given a monopoly at the airport and are charging 30-40% to sucker tourists. You read that right, 30-40%. So to get some local currency that leaves you with the option of putting your card into the GRU ATMs notorious for skimmer fraud. Awesome.
Bolsonaro's government said they want to encourage tourism. If they were serious the first thing they would do is clean up SP airport.
[QUOTE=WyattEarp;2278895]In the past, I have bought one at the TIM shop on Avenida Paulista. It was a bit more money than just buying it from a kiosk, but obviously a must have now days. There was also more process with registering your passport, etc.[/QUOTE]I remember I went to that TIM shop and the guy kept telling me I needed a CPF no matter how much I rolled my eyes at him. So I just went to their competitor next door and got a SIM there.

With government efforts to combat drug trafficking and other major crime, getting a SIM card in many countries has become more of a hassle. To make matters worse, the laws seem to be very fluid in many countries.[/QUOTE]There is so much more common sense in Portugal. No registration needed there.
None of this bureaucracy is ever going to stop determined criminals, it just hassles ordinary folk.
Went today, Saturday, holiday weekend, local one (city birthday) not a national one. 2 pm and pretty dead. This holiday weekend is affecting some of the action. So check those holidays guys before you book your trip.
Arrived and only 5 girls present. As I left 2 more showed up. More guys than girls, most of the fellas just hanging out. Bought beer across the street. The guy even delivered some himself.
Picked one for a 30 min session before they all got ravaged. Cost R100. The hostess is very friendly and speaks some English. Rooms all budget basic setup. Bed, shower and air. Clean enough, I'v done it in far worse places.
Stopped by Chanes 57 also but was closed.

I did this because supposedly colombian phone carriers block your phone if you get a sim and don't register your phone, which I did not when I got a tigo sim several months ago. The google fi sim worked great in medellin. Had fast data everywhere. Not sure if it will be as effective in sp, but posts on other sites seem to say it does.
Its much easier for me to do this rather than just hope for the best and get a sim in other countries as data is so important now with uber, google maps, and messaging working girls.

Visited Saturday night 1130 pm-stayed until 2 am, holiday weekend.

This place is king of chica clubs from all my travels so far. Feels more like a resort with the largest check-in counter I have seen, maybe on par with Las Vegas hotel / casinos. Ground floor is parking lot and entrance to check-in counter. They require ID for the card that keeps track of your purchases. R250 for entry and some for consumable, there were other options for entry. Go to elevator, up one floor to club. Main room has stage, bar and lots of seating, felt like strip club atmosphere. Upstairs has seating as well but no one up there.
Slow night I was told. Ratio 1:1 girls, guys and must of been the "B" team as I only saw one 9 in the whole lot. Maybe 70 or so girls. Many stated to me it was slow due to the holiday weekend. I would rate most girls 7's with only a few standouts and many below that. I was surprised to see any fuglies inside a club of this caliber but there were several. Cool and relaxing outside seating area, bar was closed there. Restaurant looks very upscale, hell the whole place is upscale. I can't fault them for the high entry fee as the quality of the place is superb.
Beers were R35, not sure about chica drinks as I did not purchase any. Girls were asking R600 to R800, for hour action in house. Rooms in house were R250, so right off the bat with entry, chica, room your over R1000 for hour service. Never went up so don't know about the rooms but I do not doubt they are quality ones.
My conclusion would be, if only here for a few nights to a week and have the money to splurge then enjoy a blowout, you should have a good time. I have to budget my fun money as it must last for trips of a month or more. Even with my budget travel, I felt it worth it to pay the entry and enjoy the place like you would a strip club back in the states. I had a connection with the only 9 for me called Luna, be warned, its very hard to walk away from some of these girls without partaking. I could have broke my bank for her and enjoyed every second of it. But the bigger head won the day, but just barely.

Hi,
I was curious if their will still be lots of girls at Scandallo lounge during carnival? I have had some of the best nights of my life in Scandallo just want to know if it's worth a visit during carnival or dead?

GF.[/QUOTE]Great report and captures the key ideas — it is very luxe and it's really about the club EXPERIENCE as much as the girls themselves. I was lucky to find my 9 quite quickly.
To complete the picture, the rooms are very nice but not as luxe say as Felina Barcelona or Penthouse Moscow. The best feature though is the little revolving bank door. You can call down and order drinks and they deliver them while you are suitably engaged. It adds to the King of the World feeling.

Are. Dos Chanés, 571 (a few blocks from Chanes 57).
Visited Saturday around 11 pm then went to Scandalous, returned Sunday at 4 pm. Holiday weekend.
Entrance fee only was R110, they had other options more expensive with consumable included. I did not plan to stay long either time so went with just the cover charge option. They give you a wrist thing with number on it to keep track of your purchases. Much like the FKKs.
Its more spacious and upscale than Chanes 57 but with about 15 girls Saturday night and maybe 8 Sunday afternoon. Two of the girls Sunday I also saw at Chanes 57 during the week. I had sessioned with one of them. The entry people said I could leave and return same day without charge. Good option if you wanted to see the day and night shift of girls. As far as I know this is the only 24 HR chica place in town which includes Sunday. The setup is part spa, part lounge, part chica bar and rooms. Its not loud and has good lighting so you can see all the ladies clearly. It is right up my alley, slower pace, decent surroundings, medium selection of girls (small for alot of you), I could see again about 5 doable ladies for me before I took 2 sips of my beer. A couple of Venezuelans, so Spanish speaking and a couple of decent English speaking ladies in the mix as well. They have food, cigars, well stocked bar and pool table. Downstairs they have a sauna, steam baths. Use to have pool but now a fish pond. Locker rooms to change in with towels and several poker tables. Not sure if they are in use anymore. The main room has lots of seating, sofas, tables and a pool table.
Everyone really friendly. Went with a ISG buddy to check out Saturday night. We wanted to also see Scandalous so we shot a game of pool and a few beers and then left for the other club. I was enamored with a natural redhead named Flavia. Funny because we both pegged her for a Russian / Ukrainian girl. She is full Brazilian and speaks the best English I have yet heard here. I have fantasized about a natural redhead my whole life so wanted to secure a date with her so arranged to be first her next work day. Which was Sunday and since it seems its slow already due to the Holiday weekend and a Sunday, I set a time of 4 pm which is when she starts. Just as she said she was there getting ready to come to the floor when I arrived. Got a gatorade, redbull and we went on to the rooms.
Great service, I was so ready to jump on her the minute we showered. But she sensed that and slowed me down by wanting to do a strip dance for me. Then she places me on the bed lying down and is nude dancing above me straddled. _itch, I was full on caveman now. She does light kissing and a great BBBJ. She has that freckled unblemished white skin like most natural reds. No tattoos and is just a living doll. Give her oral to orgasm but is to sensitive to take any more. I love the ladies who can take wave upon wave of oral. I finally had enough and just bring her to the edge of the bed and do standing missionary the whole time admiring this beauty before me. She has a sweet fun disposition and hope to finish with her again outside the club. Time will tell.
The rooms are small but with beds and air, charges are as follows. Hour service was R600 for girl, you give to the girl and each one you negotiate price with and any specifics. Room was R130, beer R35, gatorade R18, redbull R39 and they do a 10% tax on the drinks perhaps food too (not sure did not have any). Its pricey as well but not as much as Scandalous. I like that it is in Moema which was my barrio during my stay in SP.

She speaks some English but is very patient with gringo customers trying to answer all doubts.
Today is Susan's day off so we were received by Amanda. I and my ISG fellow went respectively with Bell, a nice baiana and he went with Hellen a big boobs mulata. Both DFK, BBBJ, and CIM.
Tangara has the best line up of the clinicas on Sundays, Amanda also is very helpful to the foreign customers.

GF.[/QUOTE]GF great report, I also never went to the bedrooms because every time I went there I was a wingman to a visitor. Your report is very accurate, I only wanted to add a little note informing Scandallo has a happy hour until 7 PM were the entrance costs 150 reais totally consumable. There is a fine restaurant on premises. I have had excellent meals there.
I usually use the time my gest is seasoning to chat with the girls.
