General Info

I hope this information helps someone.

I am lucky in that I do not have to be anywhere at any certain time. As a result, I often pay airline change fees. Recently I made a change to my travel from Rio to the US. In addition to the outrageous $250 change fee three separate US phone agents wanted to charge me over $350 because of a fare increase.

Wrong answer. The right answer is if the same class of service is available there is no additional charge, just the change fee. Finally got through to a supervisor who apologized and made the change.

I know there are a lot of airline employees who frequent this site, but as a frequent flier I will tell you that lately more times than not, airline employees on the ground get it wrong. Those in the air usually are great.

Does anyone know how to set the Orkut scraps to private, so that your own friends can not see other people's messages? I have seen some girls pages where you can enter their scraps, but you cant read what anyone else has written. I need this function because i keep getting busted by my main girl when all these GDPS leave these sexy scraps. THX fellas

Damn.........you gotta be a little more smooth with Orkut. A quick suggestion, you might want to delete your actual account and start over. Have one for everyone, and then one for GDP's. Many a mongerer has got caught this same way, and I'm speaking from personal experience.

Once logged in, from your home screen, click on scrap under the profile link. Next, on the opposite side of the frame where it shows how many scraps you actually have, click on the change settings link. From there go to the bottom of the screen, and you are given 3 options for what you were asking.

only my friends
friends of friends
everyone

Only options available.....................good luck

Thank you for the help, but this wasnt what I was talking about. In orkut, you have the ability to set your scraps, so that even your own friends can not read anything in your scrap book that is over 12 hours old. I know two GDPS who have thier Orkut set up this way. (Unfortunately, I have not been able to reach them to ask how they set it up)

Here are two links from United and American for Double Elite Qualifying Miles (EQM) for those who plan to fly in the near future.

What American men think of American woman & foreign woman.

Here is a brief extrapolation of the article.


Statement #1

"Lots of American women b*tch about American men dating foreigners. You want to know why? Because YOU SUCK. You are a pain in the ass. Period. Foreign women are easy to deal with. Having dated Europeans and Latina's, they are infinitely easier to deal with than American women. They just accept you for being a man. I hear lots of women say foreign women are pushovers - its the furthest thing from the truth"

Statement #2

"After many many years of dealing with American women, I've hit an interesting point. I've lost ALL sexual interest in them, in fact I just about puke walking down the sidewalk on any day, seeing all those shitty, rude, mean, snotty American women."



I just want to know if you fellas feel the same about American woman.

See the complete article here

Here is another stat:
Not sure how true it is...

Why is this case? American men who marry American woman have a divorce rate of 60% to 80 %. American men who marry foreign woman have a divorce rate of 20%

[QUOTE=Madd Love]I just want to know if you fellas feel the same about American woman.[/QUOTE]
Ditto. But there are always exceptions.

But why are you posting this here? This thread is about Brazil. There is another thread that deals with American women.

Sorry Lorenzo,

Going to Brazil in may, after all the hype I have read, where should I start? JUST GOT DIVORCED AND NEED SOME THERAPY, if you know what I mean. I will be there for about 14 days and I know I will be returning sooner than later. First what should I download to get my instincts pointed in the wright direction and I do speak Portuguese fluently, after a year of learning, so language will not be a problem. So please help me out. Want to hit termas like 4x4. Guide me so that I can maximize my stay.

Thanx fellow monglers

First off just relax. You are now divorced and the worst is over! Now that you have made Rio your playground you have turned a 180 and now have it made! Trust me, if you just chill out and keep coming back your life will be much better. Praise God for what he has done for you!

Where are you staying? You should get an apartment. Check the apartment thread for good sites.

Go to Luomo.com.br to get directions to this therma.
Also, hang out at Meia Pataca and visit Help Disco, if it is still open, to meet girls. But trust me, meeting girls will be the least of your worries.
Like most of us you will actually have to fight them off in RIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since Porto is no problem you can actually hang out in the lower cost centro therma/casas and pull a sweetie.
But then again Copacabana is the place to stay and you always want one girl there to showcase!

Trust me, this is so much fun!!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna to try this. I actually had the info for using the employee discount from a friend, from a couple of years ago. He's always insisted that I use his discount, but never thought about saying at the Rio Marriott before.

I have this sweet piece who's a nurse, and wants to spend a week with me. Why not take here to the Marriott (registered), and do my other stuff on the side in Centro/VM/Termas.
