General Info

[QUOTE=Christopherd;1605618]The thing I liked about BA85 was the sense almost of a party atmosphere, as well as excellent value that could be had. Andrade 69, for anyone who likes exploring the trashy venues and goes thru to SP for biz, is much bigger. (I've just mentioned it on the SP thread.) Quality can vary a lot. I've seen stunners walk in, but you can also climb 11 floors on another day and not find anything remotely attractive. Very "grabby", like the Rio Uriguiana trash walk-up. If you are carrying a bag, you have to check it in at security on ground floor before you go up. Much louder is S. P. 's Alameida Barao de Limeira 134, music blaring into the street, but a longer walk from the Metro. Same deal, with a very large number of floors (great if you don't mind a lot of steps). At least in Rio's downtown you can get of the Metro, walk 50 yards, go up an elevator and find a decent prive that's as clean as a dentist's waiting room with girls to match, go down and have a good lunch, then head to the beach. It would be nice to have a few more well-populated trashy walk-ups (there's still some in North Centro, the area north of Vargas on the way to Maua, but sparse) but then they have maybe had their heyday. With a beautiful city such as Rio, good p4 p at a reasonable price and obtained with reasonable ease, is just the reasonably available icing on the cake.[/QUOTE]The whole description you just gave in the last post about getting off metro, walking 50 yds, and the whole bit. That's what I just did today. Where you following me, LOL!

I miss BA85. It used to be a good option when needing a quick and cheap session. I had many really beautiful GPs there. The only disadvantage were the lack of showers and the narrow spiral staircase.

Among the really trashy ones the options are becoming less. Several have closed: BA85, BA113 (no loss), R Carioca 44 (?)(the one on the second floor which I think you liked Chris) and R d Acre 120. The two casas on R Leandro Martins are still working but I havn't seen any nice GPs there the last years. R d Carioca 59 is still worth visiting but the gems are very rare. U24 is a good option when wanting to go sleazy and trashy. Several cute girls. Just a shame about the loud music, filthy cabins and the dark stairs.

The great with mongering in centro in Rio are the wide options. Expensive "robe-termas", topclass prives with nice suites, simple prives with cabins and showers in the hall and finally the Trashy ones. All gathered within 5-10 minutes walk from each other. That's quite unique. It's very convenient that you can take a bus/metro at 9AM, arrive in centro 15 minutes later, 15 minutes more and you are starting a 30 minutes-session. By 10AM you have released your load and 30 minutes later you can sit down at the beach drinking an ice-cold Matte Leão and enjoying the sun.

This year's line up.

A few of them have faces like a horse but focus on the lower half of the body. I like the look of Miss Rondonia.

This would appear to be a good site if you want to access Brazil-only sites such as [URL]GPGuia.net[/URL] from outside Brazil.

What is it about the germs in Brazil? Holy shit!!

I rarely get sick in America. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have been sick in the past 10 years. Normally, it takes 2-3 days for the cold or flu to work its way out of my system. (I don't even bother to take medicine when I am sick because I know it will pass soon).

However, the past 4 trips to brasil, I have caught horrendous colds. They last 3-4 weeks long! Painful chests coughs, rib cracking sneezing and we won't even talk about the runny noses. I bombard my system with Advil, Dristan and cough medicine, none of it does any good. No matter what I do, I can't shake this cold. 4th trip in a row that this has happened.

Have been twice and both times got sick. Once from a girl, once form the plane. This time I am going to LOAD UP on Emergency-see and any other preventative measure I can think of. My only thoughts are that when I have been in Rio I have typically attacked the city like a mad man and have just worn my immunity system down to the point that I am susceptible.

On another note, thinking of hang gliding while there. Has anyone done this?

[QUOTE=AdsuchWow;1609628]On another note, thinking of hang gliding while there. Has anyone done this?[/QUOTE]Unlicensed and unregulated. Local Authorities have allowed them to police themselves. I remember a post, a few years back, did not end well, with broken bones, long hospital stay and recovery period. Last year, I think, a relative to a Brazilian singer was killed. There was talk of imposing regulations and licensing. Not sure what became of that. It being Brazil, proceed at your own risk. The GDP's should give you enough of a thrill.

That being said, if I do get sick, its usually a stomach thing for just a couple of days. I do not know to what extent it helps, but I know that it helps to always have and use antibacterial gel or wipes. I usually take the individual "Wet Ones" wipes. They work like a charm. Especially after riding on the metro and grabbing the handles or pole for stability. Those things are nasty.

Another sugestion is to always have one of the smaller listerine size bottle with you. So after you finish a session at your favorite spot, wash and rinse right away. Just a couple of habitual things that I practice that contributes to avoiding getting run down by whatever is out there. Boa Sorte!

Check out there website for FAQ. Has all the info. You need if you want to give it a shot. I used them a while back. Good Luck!!

On another note, thinking of hang gliding while there. Has anyone done this?[/QUOTE]It is a lot of fun and a great experience. Contrary to what most people who have never been to Rio think, it is rare to see a girl sunbathing topless on the beach. Even mulatas like tan lines. When I went there was girl sunbathing topless on the beach below. I asked the instructor how close he could get to her. He laughed and said very close. He did.

The only scary part of the experience was the number of times we ran to the edge of the cliff and stopped because there was not enough wind. Once you are in the air, it is amazing. I know a guide who used to take people. He is not an instructor but speaks English and could advise you on the best ones. I will check to see if he is still doing it and if so, PM you with his contact info.

It is after all a tropical climate and the food-hygiene is a lot lower than in Europe.

Water shd be bottled and ice is usually dirty + churrascos can be bad. I got really sick for 5 days in Minas Gerais after eating at a BBQ right before it closed!

Won't be doing that again!

Hey its an involuntary diet so all the drinks I consume and junk -I actually come back thinner-well the gap work out at night and Formula Gym in morning also helps!

Gents, WAPO just did a big expo on sex in Brazil. The following is the URL:
