I am going today. Probably will get an Uber premium, I like my comfort for long rides. I will report.

So I know a lot of people recommend fogo de chão. So I went with my husband on Thursday night Fogo do chão wasn’t as good as they make it to be. The price is reasonable but the buffet lacks quality. The meat is too salty for me. Also it’s like a factory. Efficient, but over crowded and lacks any sort of personal touch. The view on the sea is blocked by construction work. I had water dripping on me from the ac unit, I had to ask to be moved and they didn’t seem to even be apologetic. If you want a better experience (no view, but much better service) go to churrascaria palace in north copa. Very nice night, the pianist is lovely, and ask the patrons for song suggestions, and the. He plays theses. The people are mostly tourists but the waiters are very attentive. Excellent buffet included, good meat (still a little too salty, but what can you do?) but also more expensive. Sorry about the font size, I have serious difficulties controlling that from iOS devices.

And they realised that only between last year and now? Also it is the same with Uber’s where the price is set.

What is going on with the traffic in Rio? Last year I only had good experiences with the taxis, getting straight to where I wanted in no time, this week has been a disaster, spending hours (in total) stuck in cars. Also drivers don’t seem to know how to avoid the jams, although I can see on my google maps that there are much better routes than the ones they are taking.

This is basically the view from my hotel window right now!

I was there on Monday with my husband! Weather is absolutely rubbish since Monday though.

I haven’t got time to go to st mauritz, flying to Rio soon. . Maybe you can try it and let us know.

Also there is only cold water in the showers today. The bar is rarely manned. This place is a mess.

So I am inside bogota’s Babylon right now. It is underwear day, which means they don’t hand out towels, (because they don’t want anyone walking around covered by a towel) even after you have just taken a shower. At first they told me I ca have a towel if I take a shower, Now they are refusing to give it to me, this is hilarious. So, to piss then off I am walking around naked and very wet rather than in my underwear. Pkease note that there are no masseurs in this place any longer. This is just a normal sauna for clients to play with each other. I got a private room for a few extra dollars and it is not very nice, it smells etc. Frankly I do NOT recommend.

Só Tasso but that cannot be right, that is on 13 between 76 and 77. Babylon should be on 73.

Ok, I understood the opposite from your post, which was why I was confused, apologies.

I am confused. You think this agreement is “extreme brexit”? it is barely any brexit at all tome. The whole of the UK stays in the customs union. Everybody is allowed to work everywhere. The ECJ still has jurisdiction. etc. etc. Basically it is another 2 years in the Union. Then negociate again.

What do mean by market “stories”? Fictional, or real-life stories?

Looks like we could meet again, Paulo! glad you are ok @Tomcal, but don’t pull a stunt like this again, you could have gotten yourself killed.

You should put a link to some ad, or some picture, or even an Instagram account.

That is what I am asking this wonderful community to tell me.

Getting “ata” often in text messages. google translate doesn’t know it. Is it just “ah yeah”?

I do. But republicans don’t believe in balanced budgets any longer, at least not while they are in power, only when the dems are in power are they calling for a balanced budget. Just look at the annual deficit that they are racking up since a Trump got elected, it is nearly as bad as during the 2008-2012 financial crisis, even though the economy is doing great, and one should use this great economic prosperity to repay some of the debt, not grow it. https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/15/economy/us-budget-deficit/index.html Reducing taxes but not reducing spending is not fiscal conservatism, it is populism. The next generation middle class will be repaying that debt. Someone will have too, and as long as republicans are a force, that debt won’t be paid by the super rich. So I don’t see why these gay guys or I (if I were allowed to vote in the US) would vote for republicans for fiscal conservatism reasons. Shouldn’t this thread be moved to the politics forum?

Some gay guys wanted to make sure that they boyfriend can never ask them “will you marry me?”.

The bingo description was not boring, funnily enough. It is weird to organise that in the sauna, but I guess it gives everyone a subject of conversation and an opportunity to make silly jokes.

Depends on the time of the day. Late at night, like 10 pm you might only find 2 boys. But if you go in the afternoon, like 4 pm or 6 pm, you can find 9 guys.

Since we are told they are all and always mislabelled, I don’t see the difficulty either. Once you have picked a fruit from the apple and orange box, you know what is in that box for sure. Then the next box is also mislabelled, so it cannot contain what is written on it, so you can infer what it actually contains since there are only 2 choices at that point. And the last.... yeah, there is only one choice left.

The British have a system where members of the cabinet are not allowed to lie to parliament or the public, to deceive them into making a decision that helps the prime minister’s purposes That sort of laws could be implemented everywhere.

I thought free cabins at Pointe were on Wednesdays? Thanks for the report, by the way, very useful.

I have read through nearly every thread on Brasil in this forum, and nobody here has reported a problem with their card after paying at the sauna.
