General Info

[QUOTE=Sperto;1849554]When Brazil entered in crisis my hope was that the crisis would lead to more women wanting to sell their bundas and that would lead to a upturn in the priv-situation. Actually it's the opposite. The crisis results in a decline in the priv-situation.

Many brazilians can no longer afford to spend money on GPs. I've spoken to many of the bosses at the prives in Centro and Tijuca. They all said they only have about 40% of the customers they had one year ago. Not only the small prives suffers but also the large ones like Dudas, Belprazer, Emporio do Banho and Massagem Tijuca. The girls get less customers, earn less, less girls seek work at prives and many GPs choose other work. I also noted that many prives in Centro have closed.

More gringo mongers heading to Rio will not help the situation. Outside of Copacabanas gringotraps the gringomongers only represent a tiny fraction of the customers in the Centro prives.

Conclusion: It's very enjoyable that the real is cheap right now, but the playground is definitely smaller than it used to be.[/QUOTE]Word from my friend who works in a Centro privee supports your statements. Big fall-off reported in Brazilian customers. Big uptick in Gringo customers.

She said 5 people from "LOS Angeles" visited her privee in the last few days. The BRL has been strengthening -- from 4. 01 to 3. 68 in like 10 days -- so something is going on, besides the market thinking impeachment is more likely.

However the economy is definitely in the worst recession for 20+ years, from what I can tell.

Could someone tell me where this mountain top is located? I pulled these pics from the internet but they didn't mention where you could go to see this incredible view.

That is the Jockey Club in Gávea on the left with Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas next to it.

Now go to Google Earth -- where would you have that view?

Free lap dance at LE Boy to the first guy who gets it right.

The first picture I can for sure tell it's taken from Pedra da Gávea as I've taken a picture just like that one. I highly recommend this trekking. It only have one tricky part, the carrasqueira.
The second picture is from Morro Dois Irmãos. Some caution if you do this trekking. There can be some bandits from both Vidigal and Rocinha on the trail.

I would like to work out most mornings when I am in Copa.

Bodytech used to have daily rates, 10 years ago, R$40.
Just about every second block in Copacabana has a gym. Another option would be to use the outside mini-gyms along the orla. They are good for some basic exercises.

Brazil, just like Argentina had 1991-2001, a overvalued currency; it can bring growth since it brings stability; importing high-tech becomes 50% discount, which stimulates growth.

Argentinas convertibility fell when exports and the constant expectation of a fall of the system had led to a yearly higher and hinger capital flight.

When the Peso fell, from 1:1 to 1:4, the Argentines with wealth, came back and bought, what they sold a few years ago for 3 times more.

This has repeated itself since BNP / capita growth stagnated permanently in the 1960th. In various forms of currency manipulation.

Brazil exports are not high-tech and are sensible to fall of demand of raw material or products with low added value.

Like China and Russia.

With 14% interest rate and 10% inflation; Brazil have had it's period of growth, by a certain system.

Now the country has to become cheap again, to attract FDI, tourism, mongering, create work by a desperation about, long-term 50%.

The problem is to find a strategy for this change, the risk of hyperinflation is very high, but a change is a must.

Foreign debt is also a catch 22. It's very high, so a depreciation (devaluation) will of 50% will double it. Brazil is stuck.

IMF programs can buy Brazil time; but the country needs a new strategy.

Letting the interest rate down from 14% to 5% in combination with IMF program. That would be an organized retreat.

Remember Argentinas default 2002!

1998 Argentia was called "Economic Tiger", before a first crisis came, sweeping down the currencies of Russia and hitting the South East Asian "Economic Tigers".

Brazil have build strong institutions, but that doesn't mean constant high growth. Crisis and for us mongers a healthy 50% discount and 200% supply of Hotties, like Help, but 5 one's in every metropol or million city; that is good news for us.

Just like Argentina had to swallow it's pride and restart, Brazil are getting closer and closer to that inevitable depreciation.

I had not read anything, just drew my own conclusions, but other members, visiting or living partly or permanently in Brazil, have seen this process started. The over-rated REAL down to "normal", is still requerir the Central Bank told hold a 14% rate, even so, inflation is 10%.

[QUOTE=Ibiza007;1823247]The economy sucks, crime is getting worse, the real sucks (great for foreign investors), interest rates are going through the roof. What is holding property values up? Foreign buyers and the Olympics? Oil $33. Commodities stink, no exports hardly. Offshore rigs are cancelled for lack of money. 10 billion for the Olympics. The list goes on.

50 million Brasilians have been lifted out of poverty, yep, they now make over $R760 reals per month so they are no longer poor, ye haww. Try feeding a family of four on that.

I want to buy some land but I will wait for the 50% correction to come.

Any thoughts. Post Olympics?

Real inflation is over 10%. Not Govt inflation numbers.

What is holding the values up?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Bravo;1848769]I've known Marcia "Darlene" for a number of years and she has to be one of the absolute sweetest person you could ever meet. Just a super nice person, I can't say enough good things about her. She got started in the life kinda late, not until her 30's and the started doing pornos in her late 30's, so she isn't a spring chicken. She has really gone thru hell after making her movies because she has two children. She told me how the teenage boys in her neighborhood would walk back and forth in front of her house calling out her name and saying they want their dick sucked and other shit like that. Her teenage daughter was ridiculed because of what he mom did and he son caught hell too. She has tried to leave the business a few times, but at her age, what else is she going to do that will allow her to make enough money to take care of her kids? Its not like she makes a lot of money shooting pornos. I think the girls only get like 5-600 bucks for the orgy scenes and 3-400 for one on one scenes.

She is definitely one of those women that if you could save some one, she would be the person that I would save and help start a new life.[/QUOTE]Marcia must move to another barrio, or to another city. Brazil is 40% of both area and population of South America, and then we have Portugal.

MILF might don't pay much, but she is still in good shape, look at Lisa Ann, she has been on-off as a MILF for +15 years, and with some botox etc. She can manage. Why not move to another city, hang on to an European or US man.

Radical situations requerir radical action, I have done it myself several times and life returns. First comes the euphoria of leaving the stigma, then hard time getting to know the new place and new friends, then a normal life is back again. Adopting to new situations are on of humans best skills. Look at the Eskimos at North Pole, -50 C, only eating fat and meat. Their fellow humans in the deepest parts of Amazonaz live in +50 C, and life of honey, fruits. It's a 100 C difference, and a 100% difference type of calories they eat. Still they have survived for 10.000 years!

Help Marcia mentally; she is depressed and it can kind of freeze your mind, create apathy, that hardly let go. I've been there. Benzo helped me that time. I got new job at new places and people liked me a lot! It was kind of a revolution! I remeber World Cup 2010; I had such an anxiety I could not enjoy it at all. 2012 at the Euro Cup, just 2 years later, my income had rosen by 75%, I enjoyed relaxing with some new friends and the Euro Cup as the marker of overall mental feeling.

When I was at my lowest, I formed an alliance with a girl from Colombia, we helped each other. Today, not has much has changed on the outside; but on the inside Marcia can get get life back! But she needs help! I would also marry her, or help her out, but I need to focus on my own economical balance. It's going straight back to Medellin-compability aiming at living there every second month, possible due to my work scheme, but I have also started to look at north Eastern Brazil; according to Ricker, who have seen it all, says those girls are the sweetest in the world.

Maybe, just maybe she can be my teacher in Brazil-Portuguese! Brazil REAL fall means that 40% of the continent opens up. If Maduro's regime falls, the sister country of Colombia also becomes available.

Marcia is a woman that love sex! If she let's go of the excuses and say it openly; she attract porno-producers around the globe! We have examples of where former female pornstars right after their careers have got new ones. The crying-story does not work anymore!

Change of identity or openly be a role-model for girls that want to do porn but don't dear, she can be a good agent, scout.

Marcia's first move, change her mind, endorfine comes. Hard work-outs looking even hotter, focusing on her ass, give her the self-confidence, to take action to move, which seems to be a must.

Roman-Catholic countries have their typical double double moral. Hookering a little, going to hookers, "everybody does it", as long as you don't mention it. Therefore porn give such stigma. That double moral is what keep many alive, those Extra Reis.

Help her do someting! Moving or saving for moving ASAP is a must!

[QUOTE=FuckAfMedDig;1823366]Correct! Whats holding prices up is fake hype-the property prices were inflated by 130-150% in Rio that even a drop would still keep prices way inflated.

Once olympics have passed and the population once again are paying the bill and with the world fear of investing in Brazil and China's problems-Brazil could return to the dark ages economically.

Great for me! As all the ex-pats are heading back to Europe, Ill be there buying my apartment by the beach in Rio.

A duplex penthouse with 2 bedrooms I saw at 600.000 euros in 2014 is now 375.000 euros and falling- One block from Copa.[/QUOTE]We are in Euros here, having fallen 37% even before the Olympics.

I don't by, I rent. It would be in Fortazela, Natal, Joao Pessoa, or one of many "undiscovered cities with wtie beaches along the coast from.
