Sorry to hear about your bad luck
Plain and simply I've had the opposite experiences you've had since traveling to Rio de Janeiro. Even when things don't go my way (2 bad encounters in 10 years more or less) or so, there is still much accomplished as far as getting what I wish for in my travels to the marvelous city. Every trip I've taken has been an improvement over the previous one. It is all a matter of philosophy. This philosophy has been discussed here on many occasions, but as a reminder, here are my rules, and I've had plenty of help (Copied) more experienced mongers:
1. Have a plan: Before you hit the ground, you must have at least some framework to guide your pursuits. What I do is make sure I overdo my plan, make sure it is impossible to do all the things I am wishing for on a particular trip.
2. Make sure you have a base of operations. Pick the most pleasant place you know and get really comfortable. Your hang out spot. For me it evolved from Lluomos (RIP) , Monte Carlo, now 4 x 4.
3. Cross things out one by one as you get them done. That's self explanatory.
4. Don't be afraid to alter the plan. That just goes with the territory.
Some things that help also are to get at least 2 familiar providers that you are really comfortable with to visit at your place from time to time. It is up to each person to build rapport with some of these beautiful women and see them in more intimate settings (I. E Safado69, I envy your recent inventory, good job!). These encounters ought to be rare but necessary to complete the picture and mood of the trip.
It boils down to doing your homework and building rapport so you can have viable opttions. It isn't easy, but it is sure a lot of fun to try.
[QUOTE=Jubby007; 1433534]All the super hot chicks from Brazil went to Europe, especially after help disco closing by late 2009. I just banged a hot P Rican chic in USA include completa, for less than what I paid in Brazil. I'm saving more money by banging chicks in US. However, I'm schedule to go to London in 2 weeks and I can guanrentee you one thing. The old Brazil is gone unless you got the intelligence to explore other areas. I swear I spent over US$ 5000 for nearly 15 days and I get to bang one of the worst looking girls on the planet. Brazil is a home of many ugly left over and I apologize for saying that. I paid Gold price for silver during this trip and these left over are chagrin you A+ ESCORT prices. Goodluck. I felt like throwing up when sex and Brazil comes in a single article.
I'm not into left over and I hated this trip. Not a single girl was fine except Poliana. I wish I went to Madrid instead. I promise you I won't repeat this mistake anymore. Those who live in the bubble and think super hot chicks work in Balcony or Termas, more power to you because I couldn't find any. Please feel free to dump your money there because it's just my money and I know I won't waste it at the wrong spot anymore anytime soon. I give Brazil and F grade for this trip. It's about about the money and my assessment is based on meeting hot girls while on vacation. Brazil sucks because anal is available on every corner of city in the world. Why fly 7000 miles for an ugly girl to show up at your door?
I learned my lesson already and I will hit Brazil in Nov but I will no longer treat it as a #1 destination for a sexual paradise. For those who are curious, go dump your money. The legend of Brazil is over. Prove me if my judgment is wrong.[/QUOTE]
Valentine's Day in Rio at 4x4
I went to 4x4 this past Wednesday for Dia dos Namorados (Valentine's Day). This might be the best day of the year to go to 4x4. On this day, you could have gotten your R$50 entrance fee waived if you sessioned with a girl anytime before midnight, so the promotion was pretty much good all day long. Also, there weren't many guys there but there was still about 85% of the same crew of girls, so the choices were very good and you could take your time all night to find the right girl. I went with a girl from Bahia named Juliana for a one hour session. This was only the 2nd Bahiana I've been with, but man it really seems like these girls really know what they are doing in the sack! It's a small sample, but so far my limited experiences with girls from Bahia have been mind blowing. Maybe I should go to Salvador to try more of these Bahianas!
As previously reported by another poster, the price has gone up R$20 recently so it's now R$260 for 40 minutes and R$280 for 60 minutes if you get the R$50 entrance waived, otherwise it's R$310 and R$330, respectively for 40 minutes and 60 minutes.
Dilma defends the protesters
[QUOTE=Kid Cisco; 1435817]Thanks for the link, it seem to me that when it was the have and the have not (the much lower class the street sweepers) there wasn't a major out cry BUT now with the cost of living in Brazil have hit ALL levels of classes (the college student etc.) now everyone is feeling the pain via the protest when they see the corruption taking and taking and not giving anything back.
Kid Cisco[/QUOTE]Dilma Roussef, who made her bones in protest against the Military Dictatorship of Brasil, wisely has expressed her sentiments on the side of the Manifestantes. Also taking a clue from the grass-roots protests of Arab Spring, and the protests in Turkey it is best for her government to take a non-confrontational stance with the protesters. The collective grievances of Brasil's diverse population make it more difficult to negotiate any settlement before damages are out of control.

Speaking of exchange rate.
[QUOTE=DJ FourMoney; 1436255]Sad place now? It wasn't sad when the exchange rate was more favorable?
Last I checked, it still has many problems, things have improved but still not up to 1st world standards.[/QUOTE]The dollar hit 2. 19r. This couldn't come at a better time for those that are in or heading to Brazil for fun.
