Yes, GpGuia put up a new site a couple of months ago and the block to non-Brasilian users was not reinstated. Let's hope it stays this way.

[quote=koolkid]anyone have any recomendations? thought i might try a bottle or 2 while
i'm here.

thanks[/quote]


from what i have read and seen brazil is trying to do what argentina and chile have done with producing wine.

i had a brazilian merlot once in the mariott hotel that was very good.

i had a brazilian sparkling wine once at a friend’s house that was very good.

these wines are being produced in the south of brazil where the climate is cooler and good for growing grapes not only that but the traditional know how is there with the italian and german descent people who are known for making wine in europe.

The site was down a good part of March while they were changing the server or something like that. Even with my special access code (belonging to moderators) I was unable to access it from abroad (for two or three weeks).Now it's working almost properly.

As it was mentioned in this site you can access it now from eveywhere around the world. The only problem is that some functions are not working properly (like the search function for instance)

Thanks. They must have been repaired it recently because two weeks ago I was unable to read posts from my favorites posters (AltoBomGosto or my mentor Gringo Aposentado) with the aid of the search function. Now everything is fine.

I am look for these DVD. Women Of The World, Vol. 2: Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

If anyone know where I can buy it or rent it.

Please advice

finally! at last:)

Well, I'm with GPGuia since 2004. It was for a long time one of my favorite forum. I have over 500 posts there. But since a couple of month, I consult also another site that I consider reliable.

I don't know if I can post the link here (if not the moderator will erase it):
[url]http://www.forumsd.com.br/phpBB/[/url]

The advantage with this other forum is that they organize big GT (get together). It seems that this practice that was once habitual with GpGuia doesn't exist anymore. There were first of all a big event in September (they didn't organized one last year), they had an Halloween party (they didn't organized one last year), they had a B-day party for GP the man behind the GpGuia in November (and they didn't have one last year). The only big parties that I am aware of now are organized by the ForumSD (habitually at Miruna: a swing club in Moema).

On the other hand a lot of the most active members of the GpGuia are now with ForumSd.

True mongers paradises are beyond the frontiers of mass-prostitution areas that are on the "sex-tourism map" since loooooong.

There's still many of them, but it's certainly not Rio (or Nordeste), TJ, Thailand, Phnom Penh, D.R, ect, ect.

I have voice messages on my phone that I can not access
as I do not know the mailbox number. Is there a standard one
for TIM to use?

Thanks

try to go on TIM Brazil website and maybe they list the service numbers to access various services incl voice mail
Antoher alternatie is going on the SIM icon or set up it might list the services.
Last chance is to scroll the phone book of the SIM and look for the voicemail
