[QUOTE=DasBooty;2938990]I got suckered by a cashier at Shopping Eldorado mall in So Paulo. Something I learned is to always insert your credit card into the terminal so that you may press red twice, otherwise if you use contactless the cashier will hit green and screw you.[/QUOTE]In shopping malls I insisted "I want to pay in Real" ("quero pagar en reais") and never got screwed (to my knowledge).
Hey fellas, I'm not sure on which sub should I post this but her it is:

I never watched the videos that I was sent but I was told there were actually 2 guys and 2 girls. Heard they picked the girls up in Lapa. My girl (who is a nurse) said even Cariocas are scared to get chicks from Lapa.

What they should do is follow the instruction on the terminal to hand the terminal to the client to let client decide.

[QUOTE=Vagabundo1;2942476]Anyone using a VPN? Asking for a friend, haha, jk.[/QUOTE]My Nord seems to be working fine. Rather dumb to ban shit in Brazil since jeitinho is actually a thing. Guess it is only banned for all the people without a VPN. What a joke.
[QUOTE=Vagabundo1;2942476]Anyone using a VPN? Asking for a friend, haha, jk.[/QUOTE]Download Opera search engine. It has a VPN built in automatically. But you have to turn it on in Settings. Easy. Not as fast or as good as paid VPN but that is expected. If he wants to watch porn he will have to use a paid VPN.
I have used it during my recent SP strip. I bought 3 GB data plan for $10. They do have higher priced plans if you need more data. I activated it before leaving to Brazil. Once landed I restarted by phone and it was connected service provider VIVO. I got speeds ranging from 10 mbps to 50 mbps. The service was good for basic usage like using uber, maps, short youtube videos etc.

They've got a promo for a free 1 GB eSIM just use promo code Felix (not my code). I've cycled thru 3 gmails to get it three times already.
I also use [URL]esimdb.com[/URL] to find the best deals. 3 gb /$10 is pretty good but esimdb shows a 5 gb /$10 on GlobalYo.
I also saw a comment on TomTom esim blog that if you buy a Claro SIM and dial their activation number, select 3 for English and you'll get connected to an English speaking rep who can activate: [URL]https://www.traveltomtom.net/destinations/south-america/brazil/best-esim-cards-for-brazil.[/URL] Will try out tomorrow.
EDIT: Wow 100th post. Only took me 15 years!

Isn't this a potential problem with Uber? I remember Uber sending SMSs from time to time to check whether the ride was ok.
Likewise, I have the possibility of having a friend of mine in SP buy a SIM for me with her CPF ahead of my arrival but I fear doing doing so lest Uber might wonder why the credit card is in my name and the phone number in her name (assuming Uber has access to in whose name the SIM card is).
By the way, can I run my Galaxy phone with only an eSIM in it and no physical SIM? I'd rather my non-Brazilian SIM stayed at the hotel in case I am so unfortunate as to have my phone stolen.
Digital cameras and social media really changed the girls attitude towards showing off in front of cameras. I've just started to transfer camcorder videos to my PC. Several hundreds of tapes filmed during 1992-2007, before I started using digital cameras. Mainly homemade sexvideos, videos from Othon ho-beach and the carnival parties at Help, Scala and Monte Libano.
What strikes me the most how happy and eager the girls were to be filmed and have their photos taken. Many girls thought it was fun to be filmed during the sex act and watch afterwards. Today many girls are afraid up ending up on the internet.
I've almost not watched these videos since they were filmed. Specially the beach videos shows a big difference compared to today. The girls were much fitter, less fat people and silicon tits and asses were rare.
