An ex GDP from a high-end Termas here, who is approaching the Wall (30), just took a job as a receptionist at a salon where she makes about are $850/ month for 8 hours of work 5. 5 days per week.
Do the math on that next time you think about overpaying girls here "because you can afford it. ".
Oh yeah, the money above is before tax but doesn't include Vale Tranporte. She doesn't get health insurance or Vale Refeicao.

Thanks Sperto and Mr Ent.
I heard from sources that Paulinho passed away recently. I will be back in Rio in ten days after a two year hiatus, AA had theses crazy fares ($443 round trip) that I couldn't pass up.
Bobby recently sent this mass email asking for $25,0000 from all his friends and clients, heard he was robbed at gunpoint last year and the thieves took at least 40,000 Reais from his store.

Apparently he got robbed twice. Question I had is what the hell did he have that much money laying around in his store for anyway? And you'd think he would learn a lesson after being hit the first time. According to his e-mail, if he didn't get the money he was asking for, then he would have to go out of business like after 15 years or something like that.

What a joke!
Here is the youtube video link for those who want to know about the situation. I think its quite sad. Never done any business with Bobby but I did find him conveniently resourceful a time or two.

A shame that Blame It On Rio got robbed. Most Casa de cambios seems to have quite good security with a closed secure area where they stack the money, at least one armed guard and probably alarm buttons. Maybe Bobby lacked in security? Then he should blame it on himself (and not on Rio).
Being a gringo in Rio, who does business involving large amounts of money, means that you easily becomes a target. Balcony David also got robbed and lost way more than Bobby lost.
[QUOTE=UpCountry;1804445]Nice Picture. Great Arse. Que culo mas grande. Temptating.[/QUOTE]During the middle ages some of the royal courts had court jesters. They were short guys in funny costumes and hats with small bells. Their job was to entertain, perform in comic styles and make funny jokes and songs. I.e, as soon as somebody post a photo the court jester shows up with a comment in misspelled Portuñol.
Keep up the good work, UpCountry.
Looks like for the Olympics they are going to waive the visa for some countries. Which is just as well because in order to get a Visa now in New York the next available date for an appointment is January 12 and it takes 1 week after that to process the paperwork. I recently got visas for some travel partners and first I sent everything to a VISA service called CIBT, they knew my travel dates but never informed me that they will have my visas 1 week after my trip is supposed to start. I found this out myself by checking the status online. Then they sent me all my paperwork back and I made my own appointment where I would have received the visas 3 days before departure which is not so bad but they say processing times can vary. Then I checked everyday to see if there were any cancellations and I got one I noticed on a Friday for the next week, I quickly re-did all the paperwork and made another appointment and got the visas in one week. Plan accordingly!

The whole paying $160 for a visa will deter anybody, I almost did not want to get my visa because the whole hassle of paying $160 for a stupid visa, Its only because I get the best pornstar experience Sex in Brazil, If these Brazilian women were like DR chicks in bed, I would never visit Brazil ever again if I had to pay a visa fee.

Hi.
I've just realised that I am arriving on Sat 26th March. Will the whole
of Rio be on shut down for this weekend holiday? And is it just the Friday.
and Sunday?
Thanks.

A buddy of mine is making his maiden trip tomorrow night. One of his friends hooked him up with some chick that was supposed to meet him at the airport. She also said she could get him an apartment, but told him he would have to Western Union the money, $300, beforehand. Good thing he is a seasoned traveler. He told her that he would just take his chances and wait until he got there. So he is going down with no Portuguese and no place to stay. My man. Here is a picture of the girl.[/QUOTE]We did WU to prepay our apartments in Rio. The broker was a Brazilian chick, a friend of a guy we knew from Sosua and Medellin. WU for apartment rental is a red flag, and WU warns against it on their website. I googled it and found that it wasn't uncommon for Rio. I wasn't the first person who was uneasy about sending my cash into a black box. We pulled the trigger and sent about $250 each as a prepay for two apartments on Avenida Atlantica and Miguel Lemos.
We arrived in Rio. Our apartments were ready and just as advertised. Feel free to PM me for the contact.

I wonder if the guy in Sosua is the same guy that hooked my buddy up with the girl. I originally met my boy in Sosua because we were both dealing with two girls who were sisters. Get back home and go to the barber shop and just so happen that he and I go to the same damn barber shop. Small world. He did end up meeting up with the girl and getting a 2 BR apartment from her on Av. Atlantica for $70.
Lets say 10 years ago, before Brazil became expensive and the forum turned into take-without-sharing forum with just sex-stories about mongers who smokes d*pe, get their ass licked and gave multiple orgasms to GPs. Before that the forum used to be really good.
One good discussion was what to give as gifts to the girls. Not just gifts to be kind, but also gifts for exchange for sex.
Chocolate still works. No Brazilian girl can resist some good European chocolate.
Perfumes, yes. At least in Europe they could be bought for much less than in Brazil.
Silver piercings used to be equal to a f*ck, but that's history.
Cellular phones, no. They want the latest models which are expensive.
Victoria Secrets underwear. Maybe.
Victoria Secrets lotions. Yes.
Digital cameras, a bit too expensive.
I usually bring chocolates. Sometimes they finish earlier than planned, after a wet night out partying. Then it's good to have a reserve, a bunch of small gifts that takes up no space, like necklaces with hearts made of cristals (can be bought for 50 centavos in Brazil).
Somebody else happy to sharing gifts ideas? Christmas is close.
