Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=Exec Talent;1857894]Has anyone reported on the cost of Coconuts recently?[/QUOTE]
No, nobody made a decent report on the coconut price recently. Propably because all the posters in this thread are sitting behind their desks back home, discussing topics not related to Rio.
Psst, I let you in the big secret. You can get the coconut cheaper if you buy one that's not chilled. It will be even cheaper if you buy one directly from the coconut-truck which pass the orla in the morning around 6 AM. You can even get the coconut for free if you climb the palm tree yourself.

The guy was up the tree knocking the coconuts down onto of his sack below. Unfortunately, one hit a coconut in the bag just right and was propel out into the street. He slid down the tree like it was a fireman's pole and scurried out into the street to retrieve the errant coconut impervious to oncoming traffic. Reminded me of that squirrel chasing the nut in the movie [I]Ice Age[/I]. Sometimes the best entertainment is free.

My amigo BjjDom got me her number while we were sitting at mabs one night.

I was there again but on my own and decided to leave after a coke hoar
was kicked out by security.

She was stood outside with her amiga. The 2 hour quote was now 250 reals
completa. Previously 500 via whatsapp message.

Got a cab back and it was relaxed listening to music and drinking. She took
along time to shower and eventually we are on the bed. She allowed photos but no face.
She backed down on anal and CIM and ass soon as we finished complained there was
no more beer and had the cheek to ask for taxi fare back to mabs.

Very sweet girl aged 25 always smiling but just lazy ass f*.

This is the problem with freelancers-there is no manager of a terma to complain to, no one to hold responsible.

If that was agreed and she then re-negged, that's a discount right there. 200!kkk.

[QUOTE=FuckAfMedDig;1859563]One-to-one lessons with fluent speaker and watching television as much as possible. Speed of talking is a shock when you land-this a teacher won't teach you so watching news, novellas etc will help.

Its still the hardest part for me to due the many accents, speeds there. Regional pronounciations vary alot. Minas, Nordeste, SP,Rio. All totally different. And in Rio you have many as well depending on social class, area etc.[/QUOTE]Thank you. I think studying is one thing, but like you said, immersion is the best. I think it's easier when you are bombarded with the language. It helps your brain pick up much faster because of the constant learning.

You will always catch some new words from the context, while reading, even not having a dictionary by your side. It also helps you to learn correct language.

As Fuckafmeddig said watching tv is the most important part. It's the best way to learn to understand spoken language if you don't have somebody speaking to you personally. You can also listen to music and using app like Musixmatch you get the lyrics for the songs.

Some girls I understand almost perfectly and the others not so well. I'm constantly trying to improve my Portuguese to get most out of my trips to Brazil. When you can make the girl laugh in Portuguese, you have come a long way to the right direction. As one can read between the lines in many posts, when relating with pros or non-pros the fun factor is never to be underestimated.

P.S. Here you can see some Brazilian tv channels http://aovivonatv.com/online/

If you CAN'T make a brazilian girl laugh you in trouble.

If you can and she's into you= sexo automatico- 1st date or 2nd date latest. I've had both.

I paid up 220 reals in total after the deed.

I called the VivaLocal escort late last night to arrange some Sunday afternoon delight. She arrived on time
and again everything very relaxed and was excited about the university exam she had just had. The sex was
long and sweaty. She got abit pissed as I did not want to take her out for dinner tonight. There is only so much.
I can use google translate before it gets annoying LOL.

I presented her with some swiss chocolates that were on offer in the UK. Her face lit up! +150 reals for 3 hours of her
company.

It's much faster and just about as fresh at the many Hortifrutis (fruit & veg grocery stores) around Copacabana.

Most make it themselves in the back, filling 500 ML and 1 L bottles directly from the green coconuts. At my local it's BRL 9. 99 for 1 L. Plus I don't have to stand and wait for the moronic vendor to fill the bottles, wait while he tries to find change, or wait while he attends a more impatient old lady who comes up while he's filling 3 bottles for me.

Now I just pop into the hortifruiti, grab one from the case, and then pray there is nobody in line. If there is a line, I end up waiting just like the vendor. Big hortifruti, 5 cashier's desks, 1 cashier working. Who has no change. People in the line are making change for each other so they attendant will actually take care of more than 1 person every 5 minutes. Ah, Brasil.

Anyway, to me, I see about 95% of the taste of a perfectly fresh coconut water for about 50% of the hassle.....in other words, worth it.

-Cartman.[/QUOTE]Way OT but sounds more like my experience in Zona Sul than Hortifruti. Hortifruti near me is well managed, Zona Sul is a zoo. But seriously what is the reason for the eternal shortage of change in BR cashiers?

Is it:

1. The management of the stores is at fault.

2. The banks are at fault.

I used to assume it had to be the management but then somebody told me that the banks are at fault be / see they will not provide the management with sufficient coinage. Anybody know?

BJJ[/QUOTE]I've been to Mabs now about a half a dozen times and still haven't seen a garota worth my time or money really.

Maybe I've just been unlucky, but the girls all look over-the-hill, and just at it way too long.

Mabs is obviously a place for pussy hungry gringos, willing to pay more for less.

Occasionally one can always find a newbie stunner from the suburbs who is testing the water!

The cousin. It is the cousin or the younger sister you are looking for. Not the old, worn-out model in front of you.

Sometimes I think we need a Rio paint by the numbers thread even for the "experts" and locals who have no game.

Hang out. Don't be a jerk and let it be known what you are looking for. Don't settle, let it be known when you will return and above all be nice.

Anyone remember the old woman who sold roses at Balcony? Can't tell you how many hotties she introduced me to. No doubt she got a little something, but then again, so does the termas owner.

Be nice to the doormen at your hotel or apartment. They know absolutely everyone and everything.

The key is to have a reputation as a nice guy. People talk about scoring freebies and non-pros. That is the way you get them and often they come from going out of your way to be nice to someone.

Some of you don't need to learn Portuguese, you need a Dale Carnegie course.

Got there around 1 pm and it was hot and busy! I was going to check out BA 85 for a laugh
but it was locked up. I checked later in the day and it was the same. A little road off the Buenos Aires
with casas 13 and 15 were open but not much was happening in them.

I hung out and drunk beer until around 4. 30 pm and headed to 502. Miserable lady on recepetion. Walked in and the place was
empty and there must have been 10-12 chicks scattered around on the seats. They seemed friendly enough but very average
and bodies not my taste. There was one thin mulata very pretty with some english. We chatted for a while and I must have blinked
once and some dude entered and snapped her up. I would have stayed and sessioned with her but no one else.

Anyone going there be careful on what beer you order. The local beers are stored in the deep freeze out of eye sight and these are the ones
that are free against the entrada. So if you don't ask you may be charged extra for more expensive brand.

I walked out and paid 40 reals for the entrada and x3 beers.

Headed over to 4 x4 it was jumping as usual met by friendly receptionist. Waisted no time and sessioned with a slim and nice
bubble but mulata named arianni. She is married and is quite reserved in the boite, some would say arrogant but very sexy
and is completa in the room. Her face reminded me of Rhianna when she was riding me!
