Rio bus fare increasing to $R3 Feb 8, (a Friday,) per Oglobo. This is a 25 cent increase. All the nation wide protests in June were for a 10 cent increase.

Paid R$3 last week in Sao Paulo.

Rio bus fare increasing to $R3 Feb 8, (a Friday,) per Oglobo. This is a 25 cent increase. All the nation wide protests in June were for a 10 cent increase. I expect to see a new round of protests and street clashes in Rio soon. Why a Friday? Maybe to let everyone protest over the weekend?

Well this was timely. I saw this article today. It gives a wholly positive spin on Brazil. I actually find the comments from the readers that follow the article to be far more interesting (and telling) as many of them give a fuller picture:

I guess if you can have a good income in Brazil and a solid middle-class lifestyle, then life can be pretty good. And if not, then it can suck. But, how does that make Brazil any different than any other place on earth?

I also predict a property crash of gigantic proportions as the economy starts to struglle in the wake of both these events as right now parts of Rio have the priciest real estate in South America (Leblon).

I agree 100% Once the games are over, property value will fall like panties on prom night!

I was in Rio during June, July, and part of August last year during the soccer torunament, and there were many demonstrations and so forth. Streets were closed off, buss. were closed, and ofcourse some idiots began to rob and destroy properties while others were peacefully protesting for a valid cause. There has been very little talk about how more of these actions can take place again during the World Cup games. That being said, I have a hunch more planned, and detailed protests are being planned in the upcomming months. It even has me thinking and hesitant on buying a ticket for a visit during the games. Might just play it safe, and go after the games.

My friends who are students said thats its going to kick off big time in every city where games are staged-and so it should!

Fuck the Brazilian government, Rousseff, Dilma and every other thief and criminal. Especially as the media of the world will be there so its perfect time to expose Brazil's dictatorship-like rulers. It is also election year so its all going to backfire spectacularly on Brazil. I want to see changes so hopefully this helps somehow.

Also with internet technology readily available to everyone, the media can't censor street activities or blow smoke-screens and invalidate protestors as violent thugs-these are everyday people from all walks of life tired of the corruption and missappropriation of public funds.

Only problem is that Liberdade is in Sao Paulo and they are talking about Rio.

Yes Mr Enternational.

I not sure he mean RIO both city have a Centro area and Zone centro in Sao Paulo, trying to get a decent hotel in RIO for under 100 USD during world cup is tough most hotel is book solid already or they are just holding the room and rise the price.

I don't know that you want to stay near Centro this is a bad area I stay at Libertdade area near Japan town you can find some clean Hostel there for around 70 USD a night in July, many massage place and good looking Japanese mix girl around the area.

Hotel prices are high just now anyway, and they will not be shy about raising them for the World Cup. But if you are not too concerned about quality, places in Centro are still being offered in June at around $130 a night. Some of these are 'motels' which is Brasilian-speak for an adults-only hotel for sexual encounters (not all of these are with hookers, the women you see there may mostly be having discreet affairs). But these places are in very cheap areas. As long as you are careful, they are safe enough, but the streets may be dirty and not so well lit. Good luck.

Renting vacation apartments will be your best bet. I have been to Rio twice and both times have used vacation apartments. Both were girl friendly.

Hello,

I just booked my trip to Rio and Sao Paulo during the world cup. But I can't find an hotel Under 200USD anymore on the websites. Where can I find an small place? Off course I would have to be able to bring girls in my room.

I saw a preview for this program recently and thought some might be interested. The upcoming season will include women from Brazil, Colombia, Russia, Ukraine, and the Philippines:

I have many fond Vanity memories. One time I was walking the beach in Copa around 7:00 AM when I came upon a girl who obviously had been up all night. We started talking and told her that I would love to spend time with her but had no money on me and no way of getting any. I told her if the manager at Vanity would agree, we could go there and I would bring her some money later. Off we went. I told the manager I had absolutely nothing on me. No ID, no credit cards and no cash but would be back before noon to pay the room and the girl. Without hesitation he handed me a room key. Had a great time with the girl and made it back before noon to make good on my promises. The fact that it reminded me of the seedy motel in the movie Big never bothered me. What got to me was how many gay couples I saw scampering about (not that there is anything wrong with being gay or even scampering. GLAAD members).
