fell asleep to emmanuel in rio last night on cinemax and woke up with my johnson in one hand and a ticket to rio in the other. looks like i will be there 8/22-9/9.

sweet -

As Jews say on Passover, why should this night be different than any other night (other than the ticket part)?

See you there.

Sweet... I can hear you singing "Emmanuel... Emmanuel.." right now.

Sweetmesquite,
Your trips to Rio aren't as newsworthy as your infrequent trips to the US . Have fun, you dog!

Gents,

Headed down to Rio to day staying until around the 27th...any body want to team up?

Drop me a line through the email system on this board.

Rio vet but until i joined this web site I only new about half of what went on.

Look forward to hooking up..

My normal email is markrobd@hotmail.com

Bigvern - See you in Rio buddy. Aug 22/Sep 1. See you at the "Office". - Hemp

I might be there in early September. Where is this office you guys are talking about? I'd like to meet some of you guys.

The "office" is Cafe Alcazar. It's the mid-day monger meeting venue, prior to heading off on various Terma runs or VIP's festas. At night, the terrace in front of Help becomes the place to meet.

Well I'll try to make it to the Cafe Alcazar during my visit. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys.

I'll be in Rio for the first time around the 25-26th. Unfortunately, I'm travelling a lot outside of the city so I'll only be there one or two nights. But I should be back for another night around the 30th-31st. I would love to meet up with another monger while there. It's best to reach me at tanikir@hotmail.com

Anyone considering a long Veteran's Day weekend in Rio for November (say 11/7-11/11)? Just curious -- been four months and the itch is getting to me....

Hey...Will be In BA on the 27th of Aug.

Sweetmesquite,

I am going with some buddies from aug 27 to sept 3. I guess you will be down there. We are from New York and I am looking to show my Rio virgin buddies are great time. Who should I hook up with to get us around to the hot spots.

Stayawayjoe,

Sweet - U too huh? I fell asleep to Emanuelle in RIO on Cinmax too...Cinemax rules now! Of course I will now be going to Brazil as well..Thanksgiving week!

Kidcisco- I'm a new kid on the block, just signed up today and have been reading for a couple hours now. I've seen your name come up a few times with input on the other posts and would like to get some recomendations. Can you email me at MMATL16@hotmail.com? Thanks any help would be appreciated.

I will in Rio for the 1st time from 9/28 to 10/8--anyone want to meet at the termas or somewhere else in Rio, let me know.

I'll be in Rio for the seventh time for three weeks beginning Thanksgiving. I stay in a private beachfront apartment (you can too), and know at least some of the ropes. It's fun to hang out with others and compare notes--contact me at demented12@hotmail.com if you want to get together there.

Hello All :

Experienced monger landing in Rio for the first time the morning of OCT 9th from NY. Question for the Rio vets : What's your favorite Por Kilo place to eat in the Copa area ? I'm sure food's the first thing I'll need after I land. I'd also like to see if there are a few guys that are up for a VM trip sometime over the next 8 days. If anyone wants to meet up for a beer, I'll be the guy standing in front of the Debret with no pants on, waiting for a taxi to 4x4.

Muito Obrigado. Will check back in a few days for por kilo suggestions...Food is important !!

Dano, if you like to eat at "all you can eat buffets", and are a big meat eater? The best bang for your Reais is at a rodizio restaurant called Monchique in Copa.

Why pay per kilo, when you can inhale all you want for less than 13 Reais a sitting, not including drinks and deserts!

Try it, you'll like it! sf4dfish

Fish :

Thanks. It's not so much I'm a big eater, but traveling alone makes it suck having to get a table and all when your alone. I know I may find a nice garota, but I like to be able to find a lunch counter or something more informal (a la "Foodland, Soi 5" in Bangkok. The lunch place there kept me fed real well, and I managed to meet some interesting people as well as some fellow mongers.) Anyways...that's sort of along the idea I had in mind. Oct 9th can't come fast enough....

good kilo place is siguera grill on siguera compos near atlantica .

SM :

Thanks for the suggestion with the address and everything. After checking into the Debret, I'll take a walk that way to strech my legs and feed my face after a long flight.

Thanks !

A few days of debauchery in Rio starting Oct 1. I dont intend to have a sober minute. I think a little of everything is in order: termas, massage, escort, help, terrazo, maybe even lido.

Okay you freaking Cherries, I've gone only seven, yes, SEVEN days and a "wake-up" until Rio. I'll be there from from Oct 7 to the 18. Yes, you read that right, TWELVE days there. And to think, Mom was a little disappointed when I started working for the Government. She didn't know about those long vacations I can spend in Rio Termas. And if you're not totally pissed at me already, did I mention ALL of December in Thailand?

dano- as of last trip in august -debret was not guest friendly

Dano,

I like the Kice Sucos at the corner of NS Copocabana and Miguel Lemus (I think). Great place for a quick bite, opens early, great fresh juices, inexpensive and probably the best chicken salad sandwich I have ever tasted. The scenery that walks by ain't bad either!

Of course, up the street towards Ipanema is the famour Por Cao (spelling?) Chruascarria. bring your appetite.

Dano, re-read the Debret posts!

I repeat, re-read the Debret posts

Guys :

Thanks for all the advice.
Sandman : I think I might have used a few of your thoughts to guide me through Bangkok, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, I have read about the state of the Debret as of late. That's OK though, I'm more of a Termas type myself. If I'm really achin', I can hit a love motel. Have to be flexable (and preferably, so does she.)

I will be in Rio from 27 october till ...

Well I guess it was time to see what the hell everyone was always referring to on this site. Just call me Scotch. Fluent portuguese speaker and 4 time monger (so far) to Rio. I was planning my next trip in January, but a friend taking some time off work insisted I take him down in November, so what was I to say. I will be there Nov. 12 to Dec. 10. Sweet Mesquite, hoping to see you there and others. Only handles I know are yours and Bwana's. Last trip was in May where a fine time was had by all. Tested out some of the "obscure termas", and was not dissapointed. Lot's more bang for the buck, but be choosy, and take your time before deciding which one you want. I will be at the "office" Nov. 13th. Looking forward to seeing many of you there. If anyone has a list of names and addresses of mid-range downtown termas, I am interested in getting it. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Scotch (like your handle); I'll be arriving on Dec. 10th and hope to see you at the office before you leave. I'll be checking out some of the more obscure Termas as well. Hope to compare notes and follow your trail.

I will be in Rio from November 3rd till December 1st. This will be my 2nd trip to Rio. I came with Scotch last May. Had a fantastic time. Besides the garotas I’ll always remember singing the theme song to Gilligans Island in front of Help at the top of our lungs in three part harmony (or disharmony ). I believe Bluestraveler may have a copy of the new and improved edition of that theme song. Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I’ll check in at the office Nov 3rd.

Oi Scotch. Otra Scotch aqui. I have planned my trips around hooking up with you in January and you won't be there. Looks like I will be departing a day or two before you get into town. At least I can count on Sweetmesquite being there.

Corto,

Damn, you are from CA, right? Sorry about the mix up but I promised this buddy I would show him
the ropes in Nov. He has a 2 month leave from his
job, I don't think he will come back as soon as he
thinks he will. When did I tell you I was going in Jan?

Yep, I am Scotch from CA and you are Scotch from UT. Verdade? We talked back last May at Terraco.
CG

Yes, since you were a veteran before I, you will be known as Scotch verdadeiro, and I will be Scotch falso. Ta' Bom?

Too many letters!!! How about I am Scotch velho and you would then be Scotch joven. Ta'Bom?
CG

Ya, except I think I am mais velho do que voce. Maybe I will be back in January, who the f*** knows. Got a screaming deal on an apt. since we are renting it for a month. Mums the word on it though I was sworn to secrecy. Why don't we all pitch in and buy a place? We could just name the Monger Palace...by the way never forget to ask...voce toma no cu?

Hi all :

Here I am typing a note on a horribly rainy Saturday afternoon in Rio. Have been to L'uomo, Monte Carlo, the Terrace, don't think I have run into a fellow monger yet. This must be the extra low season. Staying at the Debret, guest isn't an issue as long as it's late. Trying to minimize the walk of shame effect for them I suppose. Will check board tomorrow to see if anyone's up for a beer.

Ate logo.
Ciao.

I will be arriving in Copa on Thanksgiving (how appropriate), staying for a month. I'm looking for other mongers to hook up with, it sounds like you guys are having too much fun--more than I've had on previous trips, in some cases.

going to rio on feb. 17-25...is it a good idea to go at this time?...like i have a choice now....iam going with a friend should i consider a guide or wing it with my buddy? we are both newbies

Hello all! I will be arriving in Rio for the first time on Nov. 3, 2003. Is there a vet that can show me the ins and outs? I'm kind out on a limb, but I can adapt really fast. You can contact me one this email system or my normal email: ktemnor@hotmail.com

I'll be in Rio on 10/31 till the night of 11/4. I'll be more than happy to show you around.Inbox me and let me know where you'll be staying. You should also print up the "cheat sheets" on Rio, they come in very handy.

Hey dudes,

I am planning my first trip to Rio in January '04. Damn, i can hardly wait! anyway, i will be going it alone and was wondering if any fellas would want to chill...
i am considering hiring a guide for a day or two. i have been reading everyting about Rio I can get my hands on so i think i know a few things--but nothing beats experience!
I am gonna be there from the 16th til the 26th.
--RioAli
