[QUOTE=Bubba Boy; 1146560]I never thought I would hear the day that London was a better place to hobby than Brazil! I know London very well and when you do the sums I guess there isn't that much difference if you are comparing mid to high level Sampa club versus an Escort or Private in London.
It is not that the prices in Brazil in the local currency are so high, it is just that the exchange is very overvalued compared to just about every other country. If I lived back in Europe back I probably would not go to Brazil. There are excellent places in Europe at about the same price or even cheaper than Brazil. Add in the cost of travel and it is getting very hard to justify a trip to Brazil. [/QUOTE]Bubba, I just cancelled a trip to Rio for may. I saw the Real is now 1. 5:1! Yikes!
I've been a Brazil holdout while my buddies fled to Colombia, but I had become fluent in portugese, and love the culture, and even have a couple friends there.
But, there's no more Help, Balcony is no replacement, and other than the Termas, I didn't find I had much access to the girls last fall.
I'm in SanFrancisco, and with Toronto within 4 hrs, I can no longer justify the trip to Brazil.
There are countless agencies and freelancers in Toronto, it is now LEGAL, easy to hook up awesome bud, and yoga studios and pools are all around.
I suspect after all the World Cup / Olympics stuff is over, and markets have had a chance to "correct" it may, once again, be a practical trip.
And I don't HAVE to go business class to Canada.
Maybe London / Berlin for the Fall. Or maybe Barcelona.
