Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=Tomjackin;2124610]That Damn Visa:
I tried to arrange getting the Visa locally, but it was too difficult. So I used Passport and [URL]Visas.com[/URL]. I was told they had expedite services; that was bullshit all the way. I sent out all the required documents on September 5th, and finally got the Visa on October 25th.

Here were the fees:
Consulate: $160.
Service: $94.
Shipping both ways: $60 ($30 each way).
Total: $314.

Conclusion:

I was in Rio in 2004 and 2006, and yes, the mongering scene is now a lot different and more expensive. Having said that, there is still plenty of women to play with. Plus, the great food and drinks, Rio is still a great place to visit.

Would I return? I think so. Hell, the visa is good for 10 years and I already miss the freak!

As always, just my two pinche reals![/QUOTE]Thanks Tomjackin!

Posted a link over on the Reports of Distinction thread because your report certainly stands out from those of late.

As for your Visa. You got major league ripped-off.

Have used [URL]https://www.itseasy.com/[/URL].

Many times for myself and others. Quick turn around out of NYC even for those in other jurisdictions. They process so many that they have people walk it through and get top priority. I always felt their prices were fair and if you have any issues they have experienced people to help you. Know it won't help you but as a heads up for others.

[QUOTE=JimmyBoy99;2125011]On December 20,2017 someone posted on a Brazilian forum that VM was dead, with empty streets and closed houses. Instead, the girls appear to have moved to Rua Francisco Eugenio, around the Military Police station, as he said he saw immense packs of girls there, attributing the move to their being able to charge lower prices to get business as the fixed pricing at VM was too high for the customers given the current economic conditions. Anybody on the ground there can corroborate his report?[/QUOTE]I was there on December 29th, all normal at VM.

[QUOTE=Balboa;2125109]I was there on December 29th, all normal at VM.[/QUOTE]Good to know. Thanks.

You've gone and done it again! You're just one of the best damn worldwide, rambling mongering reporters on this site! And dude this time you had me literally laughing out loud with your description of Vila Mimosa and the "sexual abuse" case. Tute wanted to be "hurt" hahaha! If it was me I would have beat the samba out on that ass LOL! And you know what? With all of my trips to Brazil, I've never actually gone to Vila Mimosa. Everything I read and hear about it convince me it's not my cup of tea. But the next time in Rio, I think I'll go "just for the experience". I'll be keeping my socks (and shoes) on! Ahem! Thanks for another great report man. I like how you roll!

[QUOTE=FuckAfMedDig;2124158]That's good news.

When I stayed at best Western Ipanema by beach on my 2nd trip to rio nothing was a problem! Shit reception would call up like " mr fuckafmeddig so and so is in reception should we send her up?" Like yes please. Had 5 girls in 8 days there.[/QUOTE]Business must be slow in Rio. The BW Ipanema prohibited late night female guests / visitors years ago. Even hotels that allowed guests if you paid for a double room were problematic. A greedy Night Manager could try to charge an additional guest fee.

[QUOTE=Gertsch700;2123218]Termas in Copa, Leblon and Ipanema. How do recognize which is a good Terma and which is bad? Do you get what you pay for in terms of service? you pay cheap you get crap.

Are you more likely to get better service from a girl that isn't as good looking as all of the others?

Please send me a PM (if you don't want to post it here) with high quality, medium quality and low end termas.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Gertsch do some reading. It's all here.

[QUOTE=Jubby007;2120188]I appreciate Bwana dik guide of 2005 or 6 but I am sorry to say that It is no longer related to 2017 because the author never came up with an update edition of his book. Therefore, it is zero % relevant be because it is a guide from 2006 or 7.[/QUOTE]It's too bad. Bwana was an early internet legend. He made my initial trips smooth sailing. He not only reported in great detail on RJ, but several other cities. He opened up the world of Brazilian mongering to a whole lot of young guys.

Years ago, I ran into some guys in Rio who hung out with the legend. I believe he was an academian from a Bay Area university who used his off time to party and travel in Brazil. From what I gathered, he wasn't too young back then and was slowing down. I like to think he's retired and still banging American programa girls. Maybe he's a sugar daddy to some college girl.

They provide more freedom. You always have to register guests in advance when booking your room in a hotel. Airbnb is the best option if you need more freedom. Maybe some people have no problem bringing late night guests because they have been there many times and already know all the staff. Unfortunately, it would impossible for me and many other people to bring guests to the hotel without being charged or refused. Many hotels are not friendly.

Its not that stressful but nothing compared to freedom of apartment except I hate to have to clean up daily after the broads and they leave hair everywhere etc.Allthough in April I will rent apartment again and get cleaners in 3 Times a week and buy more sheets lol

With the economy on its knees the Rio hotels better relax themselves as long as the hoes dress and act reasonably- like DR. In general no problem even at upscale SD hotels like Jaragua no probs. Duplas too. Aint found that in Rio. Motels are closest.

OT: Crime is spinning out of control in Rio. !!

[QUOTE=Tomjackin;2125900]I was just there for 10 nights; didn't have any safety issues.[/QUOTE]If you pay attention to what the news is saying, you would never leave the house.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2125921]If you pay attention to what the news is saying, you would never leave the house.[/QUOTE]It is of course perfectly possible to go to Rio with no problems at all but you have to know where not to go.The reality is i dont think Tomjackin would go into those areas-or know them so if you just go mongering in Rio its fine.VM is safe too if youre low key.In VM they just wanna make money .People go to Rio for some excitement..flirt with a bit of danger at times.The article of course can inflame situation to sell a few copies or get some views but its a fact that Rochina is problematic.. On the flip side don't for a second believe Rio isn't crime ridden. It is by and large confined to the communidades. I have many friends who live in the hood-both in centro and in zona norte and further out and if they are girls they don't hang out at night where they live. Its tense.Catumbi,Jacare,Rochina,PPG,Guadelupe,Bangu,Nilopolis,Japeri,Nova Iguacu.......
Rochina is definetely problematic now due to conflicts between Bope and trafficantes and even my own favela Santa Marta is heatin up.
At the top of Santa Teresa -an artistic community with great views many houses get robbed alot because its very isolated and takes police time to get up there.This isnt publicized but I know because i have friends who live there.People are hungry.
My friend lives on edge of centro and Santa Teresa and there has been quite a few shoot outs lately and robberies are way up.This is just a residential neighbourhood so im sorry but Rio definetely is more violent.Just because you dont see it doesnt mean its not poppin off.The favela next to my flat -PPG in posto 5 is not somewhere a non resident needs to go when the sun goes down.at all.Thats in the centre of zona sul.Unless you know people in there with some juice.
Week before i came drug dealers threw a hand grenade in to the cafe where bope were eating to retaliate.Rio has a civil war but it is confined to areas.
Like Medellin..in Centro you can definetely get robbed 100% at night-you can also not...depends on alot of factors and the individual.This partially pertains to Rio as well.
Im gonna give a little example.
I went to a funke in a problem favela.
The bad move is to try to move to the hot girls as many have bfs who are drug dealers so I would get my man to find out who ran the favela and like approaching Don Corleone,I asked dude if this girl got a bf-a known dude..show him the respect..as the buck stops with him...if it was all clear then maybe i would chat to her..or might just leave it alone and fall back..have a drink and check music and vibe...those hood chicks ..they flirt alot..when their dude is out of sight..Gotta know the g codes if youre gonna go where its quente quente..(hot hot).
A friend we brought along got his chain snatched.He was an idiot.We had to go back next day and speak to my man who knew Don..magically he got the chain back as he is friends with my man....Different world.
Rio is super scizofrenic like that.I mean I can go to tira dentes-the blocco in centro with middle class girls and trendies and at the same time in Catumbi-favela nearby-there will be shots fired most nights.
I didnt write this to stop anyone going.Just understand Rio.I wouldnt hang on Ipanema beach at night......for example...only if I was with some of the favela dudes who swim 3/4am by apoador...
You can get robbed after dark....my man did at 9pm...gun point..hes from zona norte..just chillin with his girl at posto 8..forgot the time..caught up in the moment..grew up in the hood.Use common sense.
