HOW TO: Convince her to have anal sex
Monday, April 14th, 2008 Write a comment
Here’s what works for me.
You have to condition them that sexual pleasure is always present when there is something in her ass or some kind of ass play. Even if the cause of the sexual pleasure for her, isn’t the ass aspect, it should have convinced her enough to try it. Thus, whenever messing around, always rub the outside of her asshole, usually with your thumb.
A good trick when you are hitting from behind is to rub it with your thumb without sticking in your thumb. Eventually you can kind of rub it open. It’s not by sticking your thumb in pointy side first, but like you are pressing with the ball of your thumb.
Back to the main point…
Whenever you are eating her out, or having sex and her pleasure is increasing, always have a digit there or some kind of presence. As she is getting ready to cum, slowly slide in more and more fingers or increase the presence.
You can’t do it too quick or you will mess up. Then she will equate things in her ass to ruining her orgasm, rather than contributing to them. Even if she derives no pleasure from something in her ass, in her mind, she will realize whenever she comes theres something in her ass. Thus, something in her ass can make her cum. Creating the perfect girlfriend is a lot like training a dog. Sometimes you have to trick them, but it’s out of love. The anal thing is an art, and it took me all of college to figure out.
Your chances.
85% of girls will be down with you playing with their ass and you should be able to get them to equate getting off with shit in their ass. Eat a lot of pussy, and after she’s really fucking hot, then start fucking with her ass and escalate it till she gets off. Now some chicks just freak out when they feel anything in their ass. If thats the case, dump her.
Now, when you get her to let you have anal sex, make sure she’s drunk and make sure you put more oil on that shit than an F-1 car. Take it slow, and don’t go more than half way in the first time. Even if she’s digging it, take it slow. Don’t comment on there being any shit on your dick, even if there is, and tell her how sexy she looks.
About Her.
What you are trying to do is subconsciously equate her being beautiful (or funny, or smart or whatever it is she wants to be) with taking it in the ass. You know what sells to your girlfriend. You want to equate that action with whatever she wants to be. This works for anything.
Learn how she wants to be seen, when you want to reinforce that behavior. When the behavior is present, you make them feel how they want to feel. Again, it’s an art and it takes practice. You know, you really gotta dog a chick when they do what you want.
A big part of the fun of doing a chick in the ass is you get to give them grief about it, and ’shame’ them for it afterwards. Don’t do this after the first time. Don’t do it after the third time. Wait until it’s on the menu for sure.
Let’s say you are sitting next to her with an audience of her parents. Lean into her ear and whisper, “(insert her father’s name here) daughter just had a big angry cock in her ass” Watch her choke on her water and laugh to yourself.
Signs to Watch.
Remember, NO means NO, except…
- if she says it in any of the following ways you’re good - whispers, teasingly, jokingly, as she pants from the sex, as she is bouncing still on your cock, as she pushes herself back onto your dick.
- if she says these you aren’t - ouch; stops the sex altogether and says no; punches your throat; starts crapping all over; pukes on you…
You’ll know if she likes it because if she does she’ll be going double time. If she doesn’t, she’ll be crying, so 50/50.

Top Ten Strip Clubs in the World
Saturday, March 15th, 2008 1 CommentSummer is coming and many of you might be taking some sort of vacation. Keep in mind wherever you may be there is likely to be a fine or not so fine local strip club for you and the family to enjoy (oh the wife will love it). If you happen to be in any of the following cities, you are in luck as each of them has a club currently in the top 10 best strip clubs in the world.
Number 10
Brandi’s, Vancouver, Canada
Type: Nude
When Hollywood heads north to make movies, Brandi’s is the de rigueur joint for nighttime fun. It is, in fact, where Ben Affleck was spotted, kicking off his relationship woes with J.Lo. The women of Brandi’s love their craft and really flaunt it. They do several songs per set before walking around and offering private shows, and are even known to chat you up without pressuring you to pay. The best part: neck and shoulder massages offered by naked women.
Number 9
Colibri, Hamburg, Germany
Type: Nude and live sex
The St. Pauli district of Hamburg can be described as the Las Vegas of sex, with strip joints and peep shows as loud, bright and gaudy as those in America’s gambling capital. Colibri is a gentlemen’s club, but of the Hamburg variety, which means that offering naked women isn’t enough. But the live sex shows have as much finesse and good taste as live sex shows can . One act features the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, wherein a young maiden tempts a famously reticent English guard into passionate lovemaking. And they do it to classical music.
Number 8
Chez Pare, Montreal, Canada
Type: Nude
Visitors to the great white north know that Montreal is the single best North American destination for adult entertainment. With an ethnically diverse population and large university contingent, the women of Montreal are stunningly beautiful, and liberal in attitude. Chez Paree is dubbed “Montreal most elegant gentlemen’s club,” offering the hottest women who will dance at your table or perform girl-on-girl shows for reasonable prices. Even the VIP room is a bargain, at least by strip club standards. However, this is not a Montreal “contact” club, so keep your hands to yourself.
Number 7
Dolls, Moscow, Russia
Type: Topless
Russia’s business elite (and even foreign business types and celebrities) have come to depend on Dolls for high-class adult entertainment. Dolls — Moscow’s first strip club — breaks every mold of the strip club genre with its elegance and excellence. You can dine in style with the best view of Russian women, whose beauty is the stuff of legends. The shows are carefully rehearsed and uniquely spectacular, but there’s a reason only the very rich come here. Be ready to see your bank account thin out after a night here.
Number 6
Goldfingers, Melbourne, Australia
Type: Nude
Goldfingers is a complete bar that includes a restaurant, poolroom, cigar lounge, and four separate areas where Australia’s sexiest women show what they’re made of (depending on how up-close and personal you want to get). Distinguished men doing business down under — that is, in Australia — and distinguished locals alike hold group functions at Goldfingers, as evidenced by the refined garb of the patrons.
Number 5
Scores, New York, New York
Type: Topless
Manhattan’s premier gentlemen’s club is the place where George Clooney throws his birthday bashes and Chuck Norris bid bachelorhood adieu. Large, classy and featuring scores of girls (natch) to suit every taste, you’ll often find celebrities and high rollers at the club, dining on a fine steak while receiving a lap dance. You can enjoy the show from the buzzing Showroom, or chill in the Champagne Lounge for the best view of center stage. Those with no spending limits on their plastic can book the private President’s Club, where dancers personally serve clients.
Number 4
Blue Rose, Ibiza, Spain
Type: Nude
If Ibiza is the epicenter of hedonism, then Blue Rose is its crowning jewel. Like much of the island itself, the shows at the Rose take it up a notch, with lots of girl-on-girl action and simulated sex acts — it sometimes gets messy when whipped cream and champagne get involved. Unique to the Rose is the level of interaction between stage dancers and the audience, but it’s always respectful. Of course, lap dances are offered, and always by girls who love what they do.
Number 3
Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Type: Nude cabaret
Forget the Moulin Rouge. The gentlemen’s cabaret with a naughty French twist is only found at the fabled Crazy Horse. All seats are facing the main stage, where intricate nude shows stretch every definition of entertainment. Gorgeous women bathe for the audience, frolic to songs, and use their bodies as canvases for light and laser acts. Always renewing itself, the Crazy Horse highlights the naked female not only as something to be admired, but also as something artistic.
Number 2
Seventh Heaven, Tokyo, Japan
Type: Topless
Tokyo’s most successful gentlemen’s club features mostly European and American dancers, who win over clients thanks to their friendliness; they sit and chat with customers without pressuring them to buy drinks or pay for private dances. If you do get a personal show, you’ll surely notice the club’s rather lax no-touching rule (some girls will take your hands and make you touch them). However, like most of Tokyo, a full night out can get very expensive.
Number 1
Crazy Horse Too, Las Vegas, Nevada
Type: Topless
An offshoot of the Parisian original, Crazy Horse Too sets the standard for gentlemen’s clubs in Sin City. In fact, it’s where legendary porn star Jenna Jameson learned the ropes (or, shall I say, poles?). Both natural and enhanced women do their thing on two stages and there’s a spillover area for packed nights. A VIP room will ensure that you get more personal attention — three songs worth. If you go on a good night, tip well and treat your dancer politely — you might be rewarded with a more “special” lap dance.

Brazil 303: Part 9
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 Write a Comment12. A Case Study:O Brasileira: A Picturial display of quality and diversity.
These are friends that I have in Brasil. Either I’ve met them from previous
trips, through friends, or online since my last trips and will meet them
next week. I stay in regular contact with all of them. Brasilian chicks are
cool as shit too…if you are feeling one of their girls, they will
definately hook you up. No haterism..though once you start hooking up with
them they can get possessive and really jeolous. Now I have a “namorada”
from Sampa… My tastes doesn’t really
represent the diversity of Brasil because I generally go for slim morenas
and mulattas and Brasil has so much more to offer.
13. Conclusion
There is really nothing more to say than have a good time. Remember these lessons and have fun.

Brazil 303: Part 8
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 Write a Comment11. Special Consideration for the Black Man traveling to Brasil.
Generally speaking, Brasilians are very receptive and open. For the most
part you will feel right at home. If you don’t want to look like a blatant
tourist..leave the jersey’s, gold chains, baseball hats, and all of that at
home. Over the last few years, there has been a burst of young black men
coming down to Rio..especially to the Copa area. Generally speaking, the
whores in Club Help don’t care how you act or dress because you are just a
walking ATM machine to them. Lapa is cool for wearing hip hop shit..like for
clubs like Club 6. However, if you want to really set yourself apart when
talking to regular women..just keep it nice and clean and try to fit in.
You’ll be much more well received..when in Brasil, do as brasilians do. But
you have a lot of young guys coming down and acting a fool down in Copa..that
only works with those whores in Club Help. If that is where you want to
remain at Club Help during the duration of your trip…to each his own.
However, if you want to expand and enjoy more of the delights of Brasil.pay
attention to the culture and at least adjust in some minor ways.
12.The Cariaca: The Women of Rio de Janeiro: a minicourse for extra credit
A. Whores
B. Regular Cariocas
A. Whores
If you are really down there only for Club Help women, I will give you a
little insight. However, I’m not going to get too much into this as it isn’t
my ballgame. I take friends to Copa and to Club Help, but when they leave
I’m never over there. I don’t even take women out to dinner here..unless
they are long time friends or she paid the night before. I don’t believe in
sponsoring chicks so I’m definately not going to lease the pussy. However,
if that is what you want to do, that’s you’re ballgame. It’s cool.
Obviously Club Help is the central location for all of your whoring needs.
Club Help is right across from the beach in the center of Copacabana. It is
often called “The Office” because that is where all the hoes go “to work”.
Get there before 12 o’clock to get the discount entry rate. Last time I
remember it was 15Reals before Midnight and 25R after midnight..something
similar to that. When you get in..just be prepared for some “Dusk to Dawn”
anything goes type of thing. Sometimes its fun just to people watch because
you see some tripped out shit. The club probably hold about 600 hundred or
so people. You will find anything from butt ass ugly trolls up the the
occassional fire dime-piece. All the women there are “available”. Personally,
I think that a majority of the chicks there aren’t that tight;however, this
is relative. My first few trips I was still caught up in the exotic nature
of the chicks in general. As I ventured into other areas, I realized that
Club Help girls really are bottom of the totem pole in regards to Brasilian
women. But on your first visit there you may come away impressed because
there will still be dimes that shit on their American counterparts.
Find the chick you want and get her early. Make sure you get your terms
settled early.
Also if Strip clubs and stuff like that are your scene try the Lido district
which you can walk to in few minutes from anywhere in Copa. The nightlife
around the Lido quarter is something unique. Not everything will match
everybody’s taste here, but anyway take a look in to a strange world. In
this area you find some of Rio’s most famous strip clubs and bars. Over all
you can see neon signs at the doors, and photos of dancers in erotic freaky
postures. In other parts of the area you can find pubs and bars as Boite
Holiday, Frank’s Bar, Cicciolina, Pussycat, Scotch Bar, Niko’s. When there
you can ask for other “Boites” with more upscale surroudings. The names
allude me because I’ve never been, but my friends have gone and come back
with interesting pictures witih some fire ass women from some of the upscale
boites like 4×4,etc. I don’t even tempt myself.
Also, one more crazy place is called Villa Momosa. I’ve actually never gone,
but i’ve seen pictures. The shit looks like something out of a old western
with saloons and shit. It is like Club Help on steroids and at 10 percent of
the prices. I hear it is a straight up freak show and judging by the
pictures I’ve seen and the stories from gringoes in Brasil telling me about
it..it seems like some wild shit if you are into that type of things.
Regular Cariocas.
Although Brasilian women are the most exotic i’ve ever encounted(my passport
is full fellas), their physical beauty isn’t the thing that does it. Yes,
you will find a popozuda with ass that you can set a meal on. You will met
blond women with asses that will put a black women’s ass to shame here. You
will meet a woman dark as night, with hair like Chilli, with green or blue
eyes, and curves like a boomerang. It really is quite phenomenal what all
that mixing has produced down there. The pictures posted here before..even
those ones I will post don’t tell the story. Even in my pictures, I noticed
that I tend go after Morenas and Mulattas…however, I’ve far from covered
the diversity with my pics of some minhas amigas in Brasil
But expounding..Brasilian women are the most passionate, effectionate,
sensual, sexual, aggressive, compassionate, etc women you will ever meet.
It’s not just the looks fellas. It is the Brasilian way. When you experience
it…then you realize what a real women is supposed to be. I don’t mean
submissive or anything like that because a brasilian women will not take
anyshit off of you;however, they don’t needlessly produce it. They don’t
want to be men.unlike their American counterparts. All the things you are
missing here…the leaves you unsatisfied with women here, you will find in
Brasil. This is coming from a man who has always done well with women. Put
it like this, I have former girlfriends who were both in the Miss America
and Miss USA pageants. I’ve done well..but it’s not the physical beauty that
the women here were lacking..it was this extreme femininity. I can’t even
put into words. One day of experiences it will ruin you for life. I’ve had
friends come down and call their girls by the end of the week just to say
they aren’t fucking with them anymore. I have friends that still call just
to say that I’ve ruined them for life by taking them there. Because after
experiencing Brasil…it is like going from watching Michael Jordan
everynight and then being forced to watch Shaw Bradley as your only option.
The contrast is that significant.
Let me give you a basic example. Before my last trip, I cut the shit out of
my hand about 3 days before my flight. Anyway, when my friend and his wife
picked me up from the airport, we decided to stop at an outdoor cafe before
stopping by my apartment. Anyway before our food came, I must have reopened
my wound..before I noticed my friends’s wife Priscila pointed it out, get up
and walked off to a drug store. Came back with some bottled water,
neosporin, cleaning clothes, and bandages…washed my bloody hand, cleaned
out my wound, applied ointment, and bandaged it without as much as me saying
a word. Then called later that day to check on my hand. That is what I mean
by compassion. If you can’t appreciate a women being like that, something is
wrong with you. This was my friend’s wife. Imagine what she does for him.
She is beautiful, a dentist, etc etc and she still treats him like a King.
It is a consistent story of all my friends who are either committed or
married. Brasilian women keep you happy in every way. I’m not even going to
speak on sexually.because it must be something in the water..Brasilian women
are always down for having sex…they just have strong sex drives.
I could go on and on about the Brasilian woman. You will see for yourself
when you get there.

Brazil 303: Part 7
Monday, March 10th, 2008 Write a Comment9. Other destinations in Brasil.
I will only make small suggestions about other places as I’m sure most
people won’t venture past Rio.
1. Sao Paulo: Big city. Can even intimidate a New Yorker. It is the largest
city in South America….but very similar to New York…lost of restaurants,
businesses, etc. Diametrically opposed to Rio… Cariocas often say the best
things about Sampa(Sau paulo) is the flight back to Rio. Paulistas(residents
of Sampa) say that Cariocas only care about going to the beach and are lazy.
I live here now. I think the nightlife is much better than Rio de Janeiro. The clubs are better..the music is better..and the women are physically more beautiful….they may not have the Carioca bodies but they are really beautiful women here..and more likely to speak a bit of English.
A couple of good clubs.
Jose Bom Bom
Saturday night is the best night here. Music is tight. Dime Alert!!!! crazy dimes
Blem Blem…close to Jose Bom Bom…same thing as above
Carioca Clube: samba and pagode..a hidden gym
2. Salvador: the largest population of African people outside of Africa.
This was the first slave port of the western hemisphere and still has much
its african roots. 90 Percent of the population can trace their ancestors
directly back to Africa. Those the music and culture is heavily dominated by
African Themes….for instance, you will see capeiora being practices all
over the place. Baians(people from the state of Bahia where Salvador is) are
very friendly people…extremely. Salvador is known for its laid back
culture. The women are also very beautiful..especially if you are into
mulattas and negras..also very very gracious. The nightlife like Rio, but
you can find enough to do. However, Salvador is home of the largest Carnaval
and street festival in the world. It is by far the best in all of Brasil.
Recife, Fortaleza,etc…cool stuff to see up North, but it is hotter than a
muthafucka up there. The best beaches are here, but the sun will be
tapdancing on your fucking neck.
10. Red flags and other warnings.
1. Do not wear flash jewelry. I don’t care where you are from, it’s
luxurious compared to the slums in Rio…and why flaunt your wealth. Some
dudes(banditos) come to Copa specifically to jack tourists. However, being
black you can blend in, but they will notice that you aren’t brasilian. On
my first trips I would often be mistaken for a brasilian until I spoke. Now
some chicks things I’m playing around when I say that I’m really American.
They think I’m faking an accent. But back to the point, the thiefs tend to
target our pale faced American counterparts because they are obviously
tourist and just generally are more vulnerable targets….but still leave
the jewelry, watches, etc at home when in Copa. Ipanema and Leblon are fine,
but that Club Help area is suspect.
2. Don’t trust the Police. If you think they are corrupt here, you have no
clue. In Brasil a policeman may make less than 100 dollars per month..so
they make their money hustling. One of their hustles is shaking down
tourist..don’t get caught with weed,etc. I know two white boys from Cali
that were down there and got caught with cocaine..took those mofos straight
to the ATM and cleaned them out..ironically even let them keep the coke.
They probably made a year’s salary off those kids. So watch out.
3. Respect the Brasilian “gangsta”. If you are in a regular club, don’t go
down there on some ignorant ghetto shit. 70 percent of Brasilian dudes have
studied brasilian jujitsu..For those of you who think you are “gangsta” and
often get drunk and start shit in clubs. If you think you will do so and
plan to go outside of the tourist area, Do a search for Vanderlei Silva and
watch a couple of hightlight clips and realize that most brasilians play
soccer and learn jujitsu as second nature. There is a good chance you will
get your ass beat something awful. If you should happen to get yourself in a
situation, which is highly unlikely if you aren’t looking for it, it’s not
going to be pretty. Just remember that you are on vocation and are there for
fun..not for trouble. I’ve seen a few 6 foot 4 type muscle head arrogant
americans catch some of the most brutal ass woopins imaginable by some
little 5 foot 7, 150 pound Brasilian dude. And those are the nice ones that
just want run you out of there and chop you up(like up in Zona Norte spots).
Just Say my bad and keep it moving..remember you are there for encounters
with women, not men. I have seen cats get bodied at Club Olympo..chess blown out….4 in the chess.then the AKs came in spraying. Be careful in Zona Norte Clubs.
4. Don’t drink tap water. Only bottled water.
5. Make several copies of your passport and keep a copy with you.
6. Don’t ever go to some whore’s apartment..always go back to your place if
you go that route. You may have some dudes run up in the apartment and pull
a jack move while you are running up in her. It has happened. Despite the
lovy dovy shit, remember what Club Help is really all about..don’t get it
twisted. I would suggest just avoiding Copa altogether, but that’s just me.
7. Never carry more than 100U.S. dollars with you. You will never spend that
much. Keep your money tucked away in a safe place in your apartment. Don’t
forget your room key.
8. For you cats that are just nasty and do give a fuck..stay away from the
street whores. Claudia is more likely just Claudo.
9. Also, Carnaval is not the best time to go to Rio. I’ve been there several
times for Carnaval and last time actually peformed in the parade. During
Carnaval, the city is taken over by tourists, the younger locals go to
Salvador so the clubs aren’t jumping, and the prices are triple of the
normal rates..this is a common misconception. Do not come for Carnaval
unless you specifically want to see the Parades.

Brazil 303: Part 6
Sunday, March 9th, 2008 Write a Comment7. Navigating the Environment
Car Rental
Don’t rent a car. Cariocas make drivers in NYC look like Utah mormons. Case
in point: At night they don’t observe red lights..because of the
possibilities of car jackings, people just roll through red lights. Don’t
take the chance. Also, I find Rio difficult to navigate, you would only get
lost in a car.
Taxis:
Transportation of choice. Cheap and effective. Just make sure the driver
cuts the meter on and you are cool. No matter where you are and no matter
what time..you will also find a taxi easily. If you stick to Copa, Ipanema,
and Leblon taxi rides will be about 5 dollars US.
Bus:
Cheap, frequent,and convenient. However, getting on the wrong bus could get
your dropped off on the Favela…not really…but it can be hard to navigate.I would suggest avoiding unless you know portuguese or absolutely sure of your location and bus number.
Subway.
Also cheap and convenient..same as above applies.
8. Being a Tourist: Some sights you must visit.
.
Sugar Loaf
The Sugar Loaf is relatively close to Ipanema and Copacabana, and the best
way to get there is by taxi. I suggest you plan your visit for the
afternoon, to enjoy the sun and the incredibly view far above the lights of
Rio, the domestic airport and Niteroi on the other side of the bay. You will
find a big bar on the summit, where you can buy some drinks. It is open till
10 PM. However, if you go to Corcovado, I don’t think it is necessary to go
to Sugar Loaf…but that is just my opinion.
Price: 10 US
Corcovado (Jesus Statue)
Not that close to Copacabana and Ipanema, and the route there goes through
some of the rougher parts of town, but this is probably the most famous
landmark of Rio. That is where the pictures are taken for the famous Rio
postcard views. The view is nice. Seriously, the voice is really something
that you won’t forget. Just remember to go on a very clear day.
Price: about 20 dollars US with transportation
Doing a Favela Tour.
Rio de Janeiro is a city of contrasts and extremes. Overwhelming energy and
glitz go hand in hand with poverty and desperation. However, even those who
live in the shady parts of the city have kept their “joie de vivre” and
optimism, and that is what makes Rio unique. You can get past the shine of
Copa and do a tour to see the Favelas. They are safe. This is also an
opportunity to have a close look on the work done by many volunteer-based
organizations to improve the conditions of life in these poor neighborhoods.
Most of the projects aim to provide conditions for a better future for the
children who are the innocent victims of social inequalities. If you really
want to have a full picture of Rio, this part of it is also worth seeing.
The people are very friendly. Don’t worry about running into “The Runts or
Lil Ze’ ”
Price: about 25 dollars US
Hang Gliding.
I know alot of you might not want to mess with this, but it is worth it.
Depending on the weather and wind, flights are about 15 to 20 minutes.
Starting at the “Pedra da Gávea,” you will fly over the Rainforest of Tijuca
and Barra Da Tijuca and will land on the beautiful beach of Sao Conardo.
Enjoy the incredible panoramic view of Rio’s ocean coast. This is a must-do
while you visit.
Price: About 45 dollars US.
Maracana(futbol dome)
If you are there during soccer season, you have to go to a soccer game at
this stadium. The shit will blow you away. I’ve actually been to a
championship game here and celebrated in the locker room with Flamengo. My
friend’s dad used to run the team for several years. One of the world’s
largest stadiums, Maracana was built for IV World Cup of Football that
happened in Rio in 1950. Soccer is the national sport in Brazil, and the
stadium is often filled to capacity with more than 90,000 people when there
is a major match, and the official record is of 183,341. Insane! and you
have never seen people at a game like this…It can often just seem like a
party at times. Maracana is also used for mega-shows every now and then, and
artists like Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones have
already performed here
Price: about 10-15 US dollars for a game.

Saturday, March 8th, 2008 Write a Comment6. Nightclubs and Bars
Also try www.riofesta.com.br for party announcments while in Rio. However,
the site is in portuguese, but you should still be able to navigate.
This list is subject to change at any given moment. As we all know, hot
spots and clubs and change overnight. This is no exception for Brasil. Also
take into consideration that Brasil, more than any other country I’ve been
to, is a very particular “best night” environment. To be clear: You have to
go to a club on the right night. So become familiar with the nights and
asked the locals for suggestions to stay current. Also, consider that
tuesday-thursday are often the best nights for clubbing. Seems ironic, but
that is the reality. I will list some clubs here along with the address and
contact information. When you go to any of these clubs, ask about other good
clubs. You will be surprised by the percentage of people that speak some
English and will offer for you to join with their crew and go with them.
Brasilians, for the most part, are very open and will almost accept you as
family overnight.
Also, if you ever get a chance to go to a “brasilian funk” party..as long as
you are cool with the environment..GO! These parties have nothing but
“Popozudas”…Funk music typically talks about nothing but Sex and all the
woman are bout it for the most part. These are the parties where you will
see the Brasilian women with bodies like the Brasilian pornstars “Michelle”
and “Alaiyah”
I’m going to List the clubs and give a basic evaluation of what to expect.
Then I will list them on the best nights to go…at least in my opinion.
Also in terms of pricing: At the most you will pay 15-20 dollars to get into
a club. However, on those occasions that usually comes with an entry card
that allows you 2/3 drinks included in the entry fee. DO NOT lose the card.
You will use it to get drinks,etc. You will pay for your entry fee and
drinks when you leave. You give them the card and they total it up and you
pay with credit or cash. This is pretty consistent with all clubs. You don’t
pay for your drinks at the bar and you don’t give the doorman money. You
just pretty much use “club credit” with your entry card until you cash out
before you leave. Losing the card is a fucking nightmare of the worst kind
because you will get charged a huge fine..just an FYI.
For the most part though, the clubs are cheap. For instance, if you go to
Asa Blanca in Lapa, the entry free is like 3 dollars US and the drinks about
2 dollars each.

These other two clubs are not for the faint of heart. I actually saw a kid get murdered at one of them.
Via Show:
This is the largest club in all of Brasil. It is about 45 minutes by taxi. If you decide to go, go with multiple people and preferable with someone who speaks Portuguese. Thursday and Saturday are the best nights. Thursday is usually samba and pagode and Saturday is funk. The clubs probably holds about 6 thousand people. It is a big ass club and its easy as hell to get lost in there. But is it worth it. If you like the negras and mulattas…they are all over the place there and waiting for you. You will find some real dime pieces. It usually good to arrive by midnight. It costs about 15 reals to get in….drinks are really cheap. If you want to get a feel for a regular club in Zona Norte..its a place to see. But be careful.
Olympo.
On a good night. This club can be off the hook. It is in Madureira. Another large club…almost the size of Via Show. Music is a range of all types of shit…entry is like 10 reals…beer is cheap as fuck..on some nights…5 cans for 3reals. They are bunch of banging brasilian women in here…wearing next to nothing. But, language can be a barrier. I speak portuguese so it is not problem for me, but you might struggle without it because the music is so damn loud. But damn….just some fucking fire as woman in there…worth the trip.
Saturday Night hangout spot.
Viaduto de Madureira
Saturday nights there are hip parties underneath this large bridge(viaduto). On a nice spot, it is probably the best place to hang. You can get there in 20 minutes with a taxi. Women are fire, music is good(brasilian and american hip-hop), crowd is real chilled. You can find the wifey type out there….really top notch quality dimes there. Some of the girls in the photos I met there. Best time to get there is about 1am. But you can get there early and drink and chill. Costs like 5 reals to get in.
Cidade Alta (High City)
Although the name of City of God is Cidade de Deus….a lot of that film was made in Cidade Alta. I have a friend who lives there. They have street parties every wednesday night thrown by the local drug king. That mofo is OFF THE HOOK. Thousands come…a party goes on in an soccer type stadium(small one) and then all in the streets..like a baby mardi gras…shit is tight, but you need to go with a local. If you want to get a feel for how people party IN the favellas…this is the thing to do.

Brazil 303: Part 4
Friday, March 7th, 2008 Write a Comment4. Money: Currency discrepancies and pricing
The current exchange rate is about 2.2 Reals to the dollar. Check here
www.xe.com to stay up to date.
This was mentioned earlier, but I wanted to repeat. Also with the continual
decline in the value of the U.S. dollar it hasn’t exactly made things easier
in Brasil. For instance, everything is now twice as expensive from when I
first began traveling there. However, it is still relatively cheap. Now I
pay 12 dollars for a good meal with a few beers instead of 6 dollars.
Airline Tickets: intratours.com
Pricing: I’ve gotten as cheap as 500 or as expensive as 850 roundtrip for
various locations.
Apartment: blameitonrio.com or rentinrio.com
Pricing: depending on quality but reasonably you can get a 1 bedroom for 50
dollars a day
However: expect triple and more for Carnaval and New Years.
During low season(May to Oct) I’ve gotten 3 bedroom places in Copa for as
little 25 dollars per day.
Now because I speak portuguese and have friends there, I can get local
prices. It also helps that I rent for months at a time.
Passport and Visa:
REMEMBER: Not only do you need a passport, but you also need a Visa for
entry into Brasil.
If you can’t go directly to a consulate or embassy, this place is the
best:http://www.brazilfiesta.com/
Pricing:45-120 depending on where and speed.
Spending money:
Navigation: Expect to spend 10 dollars per day with taxis
Food: I spend 30 per week in groceries 20 per day snacking and in
restaurants
Clubbing: if you party everynight: 30-40US per night. but that is entry and
alot of drinking..i’m estimating this based on a short trip where you are
partying every single night.
Sightseeing: Maybe 120US for your entire trip.
5. Brasilian Nightlife: A Special Study of Rio de Janeiro for the single
traveler.
Before we go through the list of clubs,etc, I want to give you a basic
rundown of how the nightlife operates. Brasilians tend to have late dinners
with a lot of their friends joining them. Dinners last hours and people take
their time, converse, and drink many beers. Thus the club hopping generally
starts late. For instance, there was one club in Rio, named Prelude, that
didn’t start jumping until about 3:30. Typically clubs don’t really start
getting packed until 1am;however, they often go until 5 sometimes 6 in the
morning. So take note, unless it is a big event or there is a famous Dj
performing, getting there before Midnight is early unless you just want to
get their early and drink.
Also for the most part Brasilians dress very casually. Tshirts and Jeans are
typically cool unless you are going to a really trendy Club like Nuthe or
Barronetti. Even still though..a button up will get the job done. Just
understand that if you go during the high season, it will be hot as hell in
Brasil. Even during their “winters” it is still in the 80’s..it just rains
a lot. Keep it light….shortsleaves and light materials are always best.
