[QUOTE=Nounce;2671260]Then why is USD index seems to be going up? And it seems mostly depreciating against those countries with oil export? I am not an expert so I am wondering.[/QUOTE]I'm guessing the war in the Ukraine is scaring people into the safety of the dollar. However, the war pushed oil prices higher and that's pushing up the currencies of oil producing countries.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2670969]It was 1 real per minute at privees and VM. 100 reais at Help (although many guys reported paying up to 300) and Meia Pataca. 4x4 was US$37 (because I used to take 2 at a time and it was US$75).[/QUOTE]I'm going to guess this was late 2002/ early 2003 with the run-up to Lula's election and after. The global market was scared by him.
These prices were likely when the Real initially depreciated in the summer and internal prices had not adjusted to the currency shock. As far as Help that seems a bit low, but Help prices were all over the board. It depended on how hot the girl was and what time in the night. You could pick-up some hotties before closing time at a discount, but many times they were returning for a second go of it.
From memory, in the spring of 2003 I remember a couple Mineira bombshells asking for 250 reais each in the cafe outside Help. My buddy and I took them back to our shared apartment because they were fine and seemed determined not to leave separately. It worked out great. Making the girls comfortable led to a party atmosphere.
3 Tonelada$: Assalto ao Banco Central (aka.The Great Robbery of Brazil's Central Bank)
[QUOTE]August 2005. A burglary in the Central Bank, located in Fortaleza, Ceará, takes out approximately 165 million reais from the bank's safe, or around 3 tons and a half of used and untraceable 50-real bills. A spectacular crime that was performed with the help of an underground tunnel of almost 80 meters in length, at first leaving no witnesses and no evidence.

New Brazilian documentary series, just dropped on Netflix. Look interesting, if you love a good heist and this one was epic by all accounts. And in Fortaleza of all places.
Hi team,
I've been going to Medellin every few months for the past 8 years.
I speak Spanish pretty fluently.
Kind of tempted to go to Brazil.
I speak no Portuguese. And not nothing about Brazil other than what I can read here.
I can get decent prices on flights to Sao Paulo. Not sure what's better for mongering there or Rio or?
I want some Brazilian hotties but haven't gone there mainly for fears about language- especially since I speak Spanish so Colombia is easy for me.
Thoughts on ease of mongering compared to Colombia for a not Portuguese speaker. Thoughts on prices for girls compared to Medellin. Thoughts on safety and lodging prices also appreciated.
Anyone want to over advice?
Stick with what I know--or go for it to Brazil?
[QUOTE=JustIncognito;2675170]Hi team, Stick with what I know--or go for it to Brazil?[/QUOTE]You know you want to go. Just go to Brazil at least once!

Probably really depends on whether the girl you are speaking with has been exposed to a lot of Spanish. I do several weeks of Portuguese audio lessons to get grounded on the basics. It helps a lot. I feel like it's rude not to try. My friends who are bad with languages do fine in Brazil.
Sao Paulo is better for mongering than Rio, but Rio has plenty of girls and venues. Sao Paulo is a landlocked, megapolis. Rio is a beautiful, coastal city and a world-class tourist destination without mongering. Since you enjoy landlocked Medellin for mongering, I would expect that you will enjoy Sao Paulo. Most of us recommend doing both SP and Rio.
As far as prices, safety and lodging, with your over 300 posts you should know that you shouldn't just show up on a country forum here with a newbie "Hey, what's the deal? You need to read the Sao Paulo and Rio forums to figure out what works for you as far as the city, the neighborhood and the venues.

I doubt I'll ever return to Colombia again as Brazil is better in almost every way.
Comparing Rio to Medellin for example. Rio has way better food, better women (looks and definitely performance IMO), has more options for mongering, more diversity, has loads of beaches compared to none in Medellin, way more tourist activities and Rio is such a beautiful place.
The only thing I think Medellin has better off the top of my head is the malls.
Anyone have any thoughts on the European war impacting Brazil? For example, if it spreads to a Middle Eastern, Pacific conflict.

I guess the issue had to do with Bolsonaro allegedly spreading fake news, but this is something that Russia just did. The $10,000 question is when does the internet and the ability to do global banking get impacted.

Brasilia— The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes revoked the decision that suspended the operation of Telegram in Brazil. He stated in an order, signed this Sunday, that the determinations imposed on the platform were fully complied with, which allows for the return of its operation.
Elections: Wikipedia becomes 'war camp' for editions of biographies of politicians.
Moraes ordered the subpoena of the president of the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL), Wilson Diniz Wellisch, to adopt "immediately" all the necessary measures for the revocation of the measure. The suspension of Telegram was determined by Moraes on the 17th, given that the platform had failed to comply with the minister's determinations.
The suspension was lifted after Telegram deleted a message sent by President Jair Bolsonaro on his in-app channel containing links to a Federal Police (PF) investigation into a hacker's invasion of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) systems. The withdrawal of the post was one of the pending orders to be fulfilled by the application.
In place of the post, the information now appears that the post cannot be submitted because it violated local laws. President Jair Bolsonaro published the PF inquiry in full on his social media on August 4, which led to the opening of an investigation in the Supreme Court.
Throughout his tenure, even without evidence of fraud, the president attacked electronic voting machines, putting their safety in doubt. In the investigation in question, the Federal Police investigated the invasion of a criminal into the Court's systems. There is no evidence, however, that the hack has in any way compromised the electronic voting machines.
Blocking target: Know who are the Russian owners of Telegram.
At 2:45 pm this Sunday, Moraes' office received a message in which Telegram reported full compliance with the pending measures. In addition, the platform appointed a representative in Brazil, Alan Campos Elias Thomaz, as determined.
Telegram informed the STF that it has implemented several measures to minimize the publication of false messages and also a tool to restrict the ability of users involved in the dissemination of disinformation to create new profiles or post on existing channels, citing, by name, Bolsonarista blogger Allan dos Santos. .
"This measure allows us to reduce the risk of repeated violations, and we have already applied it to the authors of channels that were previously identified by the Justice as illegal in Brazil (such as Allan dos Santos)," Telegram said in the message, reproduced in Alexandre's decision. Moraes.
Publicity.
The platform also stated that, as it does not have an algorithmic feed that recommends posts to its users, since they only see the content they have subscribed to, a list of the 100 most popular Brazilian channels was compiled to be tracked daily by the app's team. In Brazil.
Divergence: Jurists discuss the Telegram block determined by Moraes.
"As these top 100 channels account for over 95% of all views of public Telegram messages in Brazil, we believe this measure will be impactful as it allows us to identify dangerous and deliberately false information on Telegram more efficiently," the platform said. To the Supreme.
Telegram also highlighted that it is establishing partnerships with fact-checking organizations in Brazil, such as Agência Lupa, Aos Fatos and Boatos. Org. The idea is to flag posts with inaccurate information, through a technical solution developed in the "last 24 hours", and also include links to full explanations of relevant facts compiled by fact-checking agencies.
Alexandre de Moraes also determined that companies such as Apple and Google in Brazil, telephone companies and internet servers, which were ordered to make the use of Telegram unfeasible, be summoned to remove the technological obstacles previously determined.

A retirada the postagem era uma das ordens pendentes de cumprimento por parte do aplicativo.
No lugar the postagem, agora aparece a informação de que a publicação andão pode ser apresentada porque violou leis locais. O presidente Jair Bolsonaro publicou them suas redes sociais o inquérito the PF na íntegra no DIA 4 de agosto, o que levou à abertura de uma investigação no Supremo.
Durante todo o seu mandato, mesmo sem evidências de fraude, o presidente atacou as urnas eletrônicas, colocando them theúvida sua segurança.

A plataforma afirmou ainda que, como andão tem um feed algorítmico que recomenda postagens para seus usuários, uma vez que eles veem apenas o conteúdo them que se inscreveram, foi compilada uma lista dos 100 canais brasileiros mais populares para serem rastreados diariamente pela equipe do aplicativo no Brasil.
Divergência: Juristas discutem sobre bloqueio do Telegram determinado por Moraes.
"Como esses 100 principais canais respondem por mais de 95% de todas as visualizações de mensagens públicas do Telegram no Brasil, acreditamos que essa medida será impactante, pois nos permite identificar informações perigosas e deliberadamente falsas no Telegram com mais eficiência", informou a plataforma ao Supremo.
O Telegram destacou ainda que está estabelecendo parcerias com organizações de checagem de fatos no Brasil, como Agência Lupa, Aos Fatos e Boatos. Org. A ideia é marcar postagens com informações imprecisas, por meio de uma solução técnica desenvolvida nas "últimas 24 horas", e também incluir links com as explicações completas dos fatos relevantes compilados pelas agências de verificação de fatos.
Alexandre de Moraes determinou ainda que empresas como Apple e Google no Brasil, telefônicas e servidores de internet, que receberam ordem para inviabilizar a utilização do Telegram, sejam intimadas para retirar os obstáculos tecnológicos determinados anteriormente.

[QUOTE=Vagabundo1;2680224]I think usd brl exchange was driven by COVID. Tourists are back. Raw materials including cheap sex is going back up in price.[/QUOTE]Senhor Vagabundo, You might just be right about reasons concerning the BRL's recent gains vs the usd in the today's current economic climate. It seems Covid's rise and fall has surely played a critical role in the exchange rate. The one thing that continues to baffle me is that other neighboring SA countries and their currencies have hardly been effected in the same sense. Colombia's COP has largely been unfazed by the performance of the usd as covid winds down and tourism continues to explode in cities like Medellin. The COP has hovered around the same exchange rate and has only fluctuated a tiny bit in recent times. Argentina's peso continues to lose ground against the dollar, almost daily. The Peruvian sol has been holding steady. All these countries were deeply effected by COVID too but I'm not seeing the dollar lose ground the same way it has in Brazil as tourist in all these countries has begun to flourish again. I can't help but think that there are other determining factors in play that better explain the BRL's I'm not an world economist and I'm hardly qualified to speak on this subject but I can't help noticing the currency trends of other SA countries in comparison to the BRL. Will the BRL continue to gain against the dollar? Only time will tell.
