Good question. Not 100% sure but I understood the amounts to include everything including cabina and girl.

[QUOTE=Azn Safado;1394609]I can confirm that the ATM limits have definitely changed. In December 2012, Banco do Brasil allowed me to withdraw R$800 a day. Now they only allow R$500 a day.[/QUOTE]As late as yesterday Banco do Brasil allowed a withdrawal of R$1000.
[QUOTE=Sperto;1394820]As late as yesterday Banco do Brasil allowed a withdrawal of R$1000.[/QUOTE]Am still only getting $R500 with my US issued ATM card at Banco do Brasil. Called my bank in the US, I have a $2000USD daily limit. An expat here told me HSBC now has a $R300 daily limit for foreign ATM cards. It looks like Citibank may be the only one to still give $R1000 / day to foreign ATM cards.
Should e rename this forum the Rio ATM Board?
[QUOTE=Bravo;1394706]Is that 80 + 390 for 40 minutes? Or is it 390 total (including the entrance) for 40 minutes?[/QUOTE]Was there is January. It's 360BRL for 40 min (including entrance). I believe it's 390BRL if you pay by card.
[QUOTE=Ipanema Carioca;1394941]Should e rename this forum the Rio ATM Board?[/QUOTE]In our defense, withdrawing money is the first step in the mongering process. Ha. So these new limits are an annoyance that us non brick (stacks of cash) carrying travelers have to now deal with.

We don't get "Reports of Distinction" any more, and I guess we're all on survivor mode.
When was the last time we had a "Reports of Distinction" on this board?

[url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?2008-Links-to-Reports-of-Distinction[/url][/QUOTE]Thanks a lot for pointing this out Eric, but since I was on the Rio de Janiero Reports forum I was referring to it and not Salvador and Fortaleza. Especially appreciated since I made my first trip last Sept and plan out returning June and July this year.
I took the metro to 4x4 today. I had been there before in taxi and the metro is the way to go. R7 roundtrip and much faster. I followed the directions in Bubba Boys guide and it worked fine. Maybe a 5 to 10 min walk from the Uruguiana metro station. I even walked back at around 9:30 pm and felt completely safe.
R50 entrance waived if you take a girl before 6 (I confirmed it was 6 and not 5.)
240 40 mins.
260 60 mins.
Docile around 3, then got full quick. The guide is correct that most all of the girls that will be there arrive by 5.
I had a not so great session with a girl named Marcela. No anal but CIM was okay. She just seemed pretty stuck up. She also pressed me for tips for the ladies assigning the rooms. Is this standard? I understand the jizzmop ladies may deserve a tip, but I don't know about the people assigning rooms.

I understand the jizzmop ladies may deserve a tip, but I don't know about the people assigning rooms.[/QUOTE]Many of the younger girls at like the "popular high school campus girl" in 4 x 4. As for tips, the ask gringos for tips. Like restaurants, the tip is included in the bill. I always give the locker room lady a tip in all the termas but not the girls. They don't ask Brazilians that.
I have been asked for tips by the girls in order to give to the cleaning women. It was so the cleaning woman would wait 15-20 minutes before she called the desk to let them know you had entered the room with the girl. For 5R, you could get 20 extra minutes of fucking! I thought it was a great deal! (When we would stand in line upstairs where the girls get their hair done, it is the cleaning women who called downstairs to let them know what room you went into.)
The people I do not tip in 4x4:
The girl who rings up your selection : The black girl who you present your key to when you go upstairs with the girl you choose, she asks for tips now too. My last 2 times in 4x4, she asked me for a 5-10R tip when she was entering in my info. I don't think I got anything out of it, no extra time, nada.
The guy who collects the exit card. For a while he was very aggresive in asking for tips when you handed him your exit card. Once he even stood in front of me and blocked my way! I was pissed as hell and damn near had to shove him out of my way so I could leave!
The girls who ring up the bill : I don't know why some stupid ass Americans started tipping them but now they expect that all Americans will give them tips. In fact, if you don't give them tips, they will help themselves. On a number of occasions, they have robbed me of 1-2 reais in change that I was supposed to get back from them. When you call them out on it, they get all pissy like you did something wrong!
Security Guards : I never found out why, but I was very surprised to seee that 4x4 has security guards now. I don't know what sparked that. A couple of times, after Ihave paid my bill and am exiting the lobby to go downstairs, I have been asked by the security guards for a tip. I just ignore them and keep it moving.
