Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=Pipe Layer99]Whats up Cho? You looking to go Termas Excentric or???
A search will yield some basic in about Niteroi. I believe Chirstopherd posted some info on it awhile back.
I was just there this month and it was not worth the trip. Getting there was fine by taking the train to Centro, then walking past 4x4 an extra 10 min, and taking the ferry across. The termas was very small (like 502), cost R25 to go in which included 4 beers. I tried to negotiate (for about 5 minutes) the price and the beer to no avail. I just wanted to pay as I go with the beer vs having 4 beers for R25. My wingman and I were allowed to go in have a look. Since we were there, we decided to pay the entrance and have a few cold ones. It was very loud and the music -- I would compare it to Brazilian country music. Very limited selection of about 10-12 girls. Low quality as far as looks. I only saw 1 that I really considered doing. When I went over to have a word with her (she was dancing alone), she spoke to me, but told me she would be back in about 30 min. Turns out she actually with the guy near by at the next table. Since she was dancing alone I did not know. They were just finishing up their drinks before going up.

We grabbed our last beers and left with the beers in hand. We already paid the R25 upfront. So basically we paid R6.25 per beer.
Then it was back to the ferry, metro to Copa, and on to TA then Help. Had it been earlier we would have simply stopped at 4x4 to drop off the swimmers.

Thanks for the info Pipelayer. I remember reading a couple of threads about it, and just wanted to check it out. I think that there's another terma there but I can't remember the name. Besides, I know a garota from there with a bunda just the way I like them! BIG!

Poucolouco,

I tried the search engine but it sucks! You still have to search through all the threads to find what you are looking for.

You didn't specify what you were looking for in Niteroi. The Search function will give you a first level retrieval of posts with "Niteroi." If you then use the EDIT and FIND functions of your brouser, you can do a second level search of all the Niteroi posts. The search function on WSG may not be up to your standards but if you seriously want to find something you need to take the initiative. Saying it sucks won't find your answers.

[QUOTE=Monger Man]Does anyone know how to find the R$6 bus once you arrive at Galeão? When I searched for this information, I found mention of one bus company that will take you to Copacabana for R$12 ([url]http://www.shuttlerio.com.br/en/[/url].) Lastly, is it possible to get on the Shuttle Rio bus once I arrive or must I make reservations in advance?[/QUOTE]
From International Arrivals:

For the R$7 bus you go straight out of the door to outside after you exit customs. The bus stop/podium will be immediately to your right.

Thanks to Lorenzo I did end up taking the shuttlerio last time from and to the airport. You must make reservations online at least a couple of days before. When you make the reservations you will choose which of several drop off/pick-up points you prefer. I chose the Othon Palace although the driver did end up dropping at Nossa Senhora and Miguel Lemos at my request. The airport pick up point is in front of the Riotur information booth. To get there you come out of the customs hall into the main airport area and turn right. You go all the way down just before the building dead ends you will see the booth on the left. Just stand around that way and the driver will come in to get you. I was outside getting my shoes shined and they actually called me on my Rio cell because I was not at the designated spot. So they are punctual.

You pay your money to the driver once you get in the van and I think you have to put your name on the paper that he has on his clipboard. I was really happy that I took the shuttle on the way back to the airport because as soon as we drove off it started pouring raining. Otherwise I would have been at the bus stop soaked. The last shuttle does leave Copa at 7:30pm. Coming and going there was only me and one other person. I think the van holds 10 people. I think there were 3 rows of 3 plus shotgun. The van was brand new with air conditioning. This will be my preferred method of airport transportation from now on.

Thanks for the tip but still couldn't find them.

[QUOTE=Hughdad]I was in a termas recently and they tried to charge me R$60 entrance fee, $230 per hour per girl x 2 (dupla), AND a separate room charge. I got the separate room fee waived. I always experienced that the room fees were built into the girls fees. And the final bill was always entrance fee (if not waived for a promotion or early entrance), girl/room fee and drinks.

In fact, with a dupla (2 x the girls fees) they are making more on the room. But the room was bigger and nicer. Has anyone else experienced this? Are they trying to raise rates to include this? Or were they trying to rip me off. Or making an "honest mistake"?

The manager also waived the entrance fee when I went down to settle because I think he knew I was not pleased.

First time I've been in a termas in about 8 months. I have not read any postings here about such a practice.[/QUOTE]

As reported elsewhere L'Uomo has done this for a long time. Newcomers to MC usually have the rules of the house spelt out to them on entry. I cannot recall them verbatim but I think it is R$40 for a standard room for 40 minutes. They used to insist that the girls fees were paid in cash, the room, entry and bar bill could be paid with a credit card. However they have changed this to allow the whole bill to be paid by card with an additional fee. I can't recall what the fee is, I always pay cash. They do not charge two room fees for two girls.

[QUOTE=TJ Fannatic]Sorry, I missed this post. I assume by now you have heard the Hells Angels are in town. The past week they have been very present throughout Copacabana, especially in the Meia Pataca area.


TJ[/QUOTE]

I know about angels, but that wasn't my question. Please do tell me about the biker convention. As I'm living in Rio and I'm a biker and I haven't heard about it.

I would be really happy to know where is that convention.

Hells Angels are having somekind of get together again, but.....

Mr Enternational and TJ Fannatic,

Thanks for your replies and your detailed information! I knew that these were the better options, but I didn’t know all the details of utilizing them.

Perkele, try the HAMC web page in rio. They should know if a visiting club is in town.

[QUOTE=Abzsafado]The Hells Angels seem to have taken over Rio for the time being, specifically the Othon Palace and MP. Very funny to see the "gangstas" sauntering up to MP then walking swiftly by when they see their favorite haunt taken over by middle aged men in fancy dress. It has left the girls in total confusion, they have no idea what to do with white men with more tattoos than them[/QUOTE]

And ever since they arrived, Copa has been absolutely dead!! So many of the girls have told me they wont return until the Hells Angels leave. I guess the fact that two girls got punched out on two separate nights in Help didnt do anything to change the gdp's opinions of them.

He said the angels also stabbed some guy up the other night at another club. Anyone know when they are leaving? I didn't ask.

I was sitting on a bench nearby overhearing and they seemed respectful of the putas. I observed some Canadian and German HA eating in Marius Crustaceous at Leme..they were quite well mannered. At least some of the guys have good taste in dining, despite their poor taste in clothing. Let's see those jackets paired with plain tees, cargos and Havaianas..haha.

On a garota note, I hit Bar 22 Friday (good), Ns Copa 583 Apt #204 last night (horrible), and today sessioned with Ane at L'uomo shortly after opening. Good session, but Ane lied in the boite about completa and CIM. Thank God for Vitamin C because I came to town tired and will never get rest here. I still laid pipe in Ane for the solid 40 minutes nonstop like a machine due to the C, amazing stuff..God's second gift to man.

I'll be hitting centro the next 2 days and will publish a trip report later in the week.
