3 questions actually. (Triple Yes)
[QUOTE=Tiradentes;2818171]I haven't been in Rio for ages. Would appreciate if someone can answer my two queries below:
1) Can we pay CC at the Termas? Is it wise and safe? I remember the maximum daily 'saque' from the Bancos was R1000 , or the equivalent of $200 dollars, which is nothing. I just don't want to do multiple runs to banks in order to withdraw money or even exchange it due to safety issues.
2) I read the ladies at the Termas expect gorgetas now. Is that for good service, or something little be extra as raw? I remember the Brazucas are brainwashed about condom use. Is that still the norm?
I only intend to visit the big four Termas. I haven't read anything about 65 in Centro. Is it gone?[/QUOTE]1) Yes, you can pay with your credit card. Just make sure you check your bank account to verify that you weren't ripped off.
2) Yes! All the GDPS would love to have a tip. However, the brasilians don't tip the checkout girl, the cleaning crew, the doorman or the girls! So why on earth would you think of handing out a tip?!
3) Yes 65 is still open.
THANKS Steve 9696 and Rio Bob: reports of distinction!
Steve 9696 is the real deal: he sent me a 242 page extravaganza of his adventures, punchy, funny and a bit like "Round the world in 80 days" by Jules Verne in 1873 in his erotic fun with practical tips and insights. It is about freedom as a male to travel and enjoy life, not being held down by degenerate harpies withholding pussy and using us waking ATM machines (known as marriage). It is about greed for life and joy the system tries to suppress, just as it does for drugs and high spirited young me. P4 P is like sampling 100's of cool little boutique restaurants with varied cuisine. Screw the brain washing and being robbed by corrupt politicians / lawyers (known as tax) with nothing in return except rude and often malevolent systems designed to remove personal agency. Our joy of travel and life is a cause of celebration, as it should be.
Rio Bob. He needs to be given a report of distinction for vintage terma flyers, literally an archeology of Rio's sybaritic treasures. Thanks Rio Bob!
This sort of reminds me of Gordon Gecko's creed about zombie companies run by people with no skin the game (majority of modern companies) and many modern, sex and love free marriages (prison):
"I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them! The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much".
Blow jobs are the same: a moment of cut-through: overwhelming pleasure and blowing your load in the soft mouth of a pretty young woman and joy of being a man, and a free one at that.
The Rudy Giuliani's are hypocrites, as were the Jeffry Epstein supporters (heads of governments, royalty and the uber rich) : they only want freedom for themselves and fuck everyone else. But they bumped off Epstein. He knew too much about those in power. They are not even real business people, just influence peddlers or outright blackmailers. And not very discerning either. Making P4P is illegal in the USA is a terrible and stupid policy, turning men of brains means into rational ex pats. In a way it's a blessing: I'd never have invested in BR without being forced to fly internationally just to live as a human being.
Foreign tourists drugged, robbed, beaten and thrown from a lookout point in Rio.
Two Chilenan tourists went to Lapa on Saturday evening, somebody put Boa Noite Cinderela in their drinks, they passed out, got robbed, beaten and propably thrown from Mirante do Rato Molhado (a lookout point, 3 m fall). One guy died.
