Talking to some of the nicer/honest strippers in Montreal, they had told me that songs in the lap dance area are always longer than the stage songs. So when a guy sets a timer with three minutes per song, they are actually shorting you by a minute or two per song. The guys who set a timer (unfortunately, the hotter ones) only get one song from me. I find it better to have a guy tell me every time a new song begins.

This is kind of ridiculous. The event is called a NUDE PARTY. There has to be some kind of quality control and the guys who doesn't want to be nude simply shouldn't be at the party. The hosts are making money and not fulfilling their part here. Party name should change to: SOME ARE NUDE PARTY or NUDE/THONG OPTIONAL PARTY lol.

Out of town now. Noticed though that he has the exact same travel schedule as chancebrokeboy,

Variety of GP is also better though (note I didn't say quality of GP ~ this depends a lot on luck.) I also feel like the GPs in Sao Paolo are a little less "hustlery" than a lot of the guys in Rio who are just GP hustler profissional who I would keep the contact down to programa only. About Rio, I will agree to disagree with you on this one. Even though Rio is just a big bummer of a chore, I do not think there is truly CONSTANT danger. Avoiding the danger is really tedious though. And just It's a LOT of ubering. So You mean you don't feel safe even taking a walk after breakfast at 8 in the morning? The robeiros are still asleep I think lol. I mean it's just me, but I found some periods of time when relaxing a little is okay. I think the beach is generally fine once you get there. It helps that I tan to mulato color really fast though. My hotel choices are also strategic. So everything I need is a safe walking distance away (2 blocks or less, mostly less). If you want, I can recommend some hotels that won't break the bank. None are as good though as Sao Paolo price to quality.

Back on topic, Pro-tip that was recently taught to me as well. If introduce yourself to the hosts of the clubs, you will be surprised how well you are taken care of. The couple who owns HotHouse are the nicest guys. They will show you the ropes. You will always have a stripper or two sitting next to you (who wants your money of course). The strippers can put you on guest lists if you befriend them (just be careful) and you won't pay for entry. Same goes for Lagoa, there are certain people to befriend and your experience will be even better than it already is. Pay for someones drink once and it will pay off.

The big question here is WHO was being murdered? All from inference, so I may be wrong: They locked up the narcos who couldn't murder each other anymore. Lower criminal-on-criminal murder that in turn lowered national homicide rates. So what's the lesson: don't join a gang? I never intended to. I don't think the majority of your statistic affects tourists or innocent bystanders. I don't do drugs and have no intention of going anywhere near drug crimes are known to be. I think drug related gun crime has ZERO% to do with this particular thread.

Sao Paolo for the win. The hotels are great. A lot of the condo's that are airbnb'd are modern and extremely convenient. My favorite airbnb, has facial recognition or a programmable entry lock (your choice), 24 hour security, a big ass tub, a Brazilian toilet that is better than my toto, shared laundry that you can reserve by app and a pool for $45 night. The 98 Michelin Starred restaurants they have won't leave you broke. The GPs are happy to go eat out with you (choose wisely or just go by yourself) You don't need to tip (please tip) to get amazing service. Best of all, The city is sex-positive and won't judge you for being a sex tourist. You don't need to duck into Lagoa or the clubs all-incognito because sexuality is not shamed. Rio would be entirely optional for me if I didn't crave the beach so much when I am vacationing. Rio can be very limiting. Thankfully, all I really need in Rio is the beach and the sauna. There's a lot of Ubering involved. I am not comfortable enough to go so Sao Jose, the beach city south of Sao Paolo, or I would skip Rio entirely. I don't need to go to the Sauna everyday.

United States tops 400 mass shootings in 2023 | CNN Politics WWW.CNN.COM The United States has surpassed 400 mass shootings in 2023, setting the stage for a record-breaking year... 400 mass shootings in 2023. You don't need a reason to be shot at in this country, You just need to be at the wrong place and the wrong time.

I am sorry to hear about this by the way. I have read about your experience in other posts. I would actually stay away from Copacabana palace though . Unless you literally plan to Uber from the front door of the palace to anywhere you are going. I also would not step out of the palace unless my Uber is ready to go right in front. The Uber would have to drop me off right in front of the palace going home as well. The good motoristas know this and will warn you about danger. For The way I like to travel the palace is a no-go. There are times I would spring for say Emiliano, but this would be for one night, when I don't plan to leave the hotel. I feel way more relaxed in a hotel that is Brazilian brand i.e. Atlantico or Windsor. I feel like the chances of being a Gringo Victim is way less.

Some people just don't know how to travel safely I guess. I've been to Brazil 15x now and I still don't get the draw of Favela tours. First why go to asking for trouble and secondly, as I mentioned before If you have time to go to a favela tour with the sauna and nightlife taking up a significant portion of your time, you're just doing it wrong. Brazil has been the most amazing place that's brought me the most joy compared to all the places I have travelled. You can get mugged anywhere careful or not. Take precautions and plan ahead. The way I dress I dress in Brasil is 90% different than at home. I do not flaunt anything. I carry a decoy wallet, with small bills and expired credit cards. My passport stays in the hotel safe and I have a spare phone. I have a $1,000,000 travel insurance policy with repatriation, I pay yearly and can use all-over the world. It's already paid for itself when I got COVID in Brazil. Top notch hospital , concierge service for international patients, 450$ fully reimbursed. Choice of hospital should also be known prior to traveling. There are many many many places in the US now that it is more dangerous than Sao Paolo or Zona Sul in Rio. I am in the medical field and just today I treated someone that got randomly shot, in their car, driving on the freeway in a safe suburb. I feel are a lot safer now in the good parts of Sao Paolo than a lot of places in California now. Nowadays I can't even go to any kind of minority focused event (e.g. gay pride) without the thought of a random mass gun violence in the back of my head. Do a simple google of "mass shootings" for different countries and you will be surprised how much safer Brazil is than a lot of places. Big cities are all the same when you think of it. Hotels, drug stores, groceries stores, places of work, malls etc etc; the surroundings and people just look different. If you think the safety of big cities in US vs Brasil is different, you might want to do some research. Europe is the same if you turn the wrong corner. Athens: you will see as much drugs as Skid row in LA or that bad part of Vancouver. Montreal has a little homeless problem now too but that doesn't mean I am not going. I never come home from Italy without my backpack having a few slash marks. My Travel bag specifically for Europe is slash-proof. If you haven't things like this in the majority of the places you travel to, then you are probably a "resort" person who stays in their hotel or the places you travel to are totally sterile. ANYWHERE THERE ARE TOURISTS, THERE IS DANGER. If you can't accept this, don't travel. If you are afraid, stay home.

I guess what I was trying to say is you shouldn't need these maps if: 1. You have prepared and listed down some destinations. 2. You have EYES and COMMON SENSE. 3. You have downloaded UBER into your phone.

For me it's pretty simple, if you're a tourist then be a tourist. Do the touristy things on your first trip. Feel things out. 2nd trip: more touristy things but maybe farther out. and So on and so forth. There's plenty to do and very little time. The saunas will take up a lot of your time. If you feel like you have to go adventuring beyond the touristy areas on your first few trips, you probably haven't read up enough. I don't quite understand why/how anyone would just happen to "wander" into a favela. Favelas look completely different than the rest of the city. If you cannot distinguish between a favela and their rest of Copacabana or Ipanema, you have no business going to Brazil. If you don't know what a favela looks like Google photos of favelas.... I really don't understand, how anyone would make this mistake. A dangerous place should feel and look completely different if you're observant. Sé doesn't have as many people walking around because it's a place you shouldn't be walking around. It's pretty obvious if you have went beyond boundaries because the streets will have significantly less people. Paulista, Augusta, Oscar Freire, Freire Caneca, Villa Madalena etc etc. has young and old, locals and tourists walking around, in a relaxed manner because there's little reason to be so guarded (stay a little bit guarded though) Follow the rules. Keep to your Ubers; don't walk if you don't feel 100% safe about a place. Listen to the safety reports here (with a grain of salt, they tend to be overblown). Moreso, Listen to locals, they know what's unsafe and what's not. For Example, I would never have known that Copacabana beach is not super safe during sunset, because this is when tourists are on the move back to their hotels and robbers take advantage. Learned this from an Uber driver. I like to stay in moderately priced hotels and draw in Brazilians more than tourists because robbers are probably going to target the expensive, tourist heavy hotels. Copacabana Palace is a huge no-no unless you just plan to stay in the hotel and take Ubers. Keep the over-confidence in check.

can't wait to hear about this one.

Average at best. OF content average at best. Lots of Risky sex, hope he gets tested frequently.

any report?
