  1. Any information appreciated. There are some cuties on their websites.
  2. I strongly advise you rent a room. They have proper sheets not plastic and the beds are large.
  3. Le Normandie. The best restaurant in the world. My absolute favourite.
  4. Agree and may I add with inflexible booking. My favourite hotel now is non refundable in any circumstances.
  5. To answer the original question I stay at the Olivia Balmes hotel and get a taxi. Plentiful and cheap.
  6. Read the reviews on TripAdvisor. The place sounds bizarre to say the least.
  7. Was the cute Chilean Nicholas by any chance? Very fond memories of Nicholas from last July.
  8. To answer the original question posed you can have success any night. I have had great fun in “quiet “ nights. It only takes one to make an evening!
  9. Yes you did! Thank you! Brazil in December. Here I come! Specifically Lagoa here I come!
  10. The Brazilian Consulate in Sydney has now updated its website ( written in convoluted English) and the visa requirement takes effect from 10 January.
  11. This is encouraging news. The Brazilian Consulate in Sydney still has 1 October as the starting point but hopefully will be deferred.
  12. After writing this I put Brazil visa rumours into google and I came across a blog for Newland Chase ( a CIBT company) CIBT is the visa company I rang in Sydney. They state that there is an indication that Brazilian immigration will extend the 1 October start date. This however is not official.
  13. Where did you hear this? There is nothing to this effect on the Brazilian Consulate Sydney website. You can’t ring them for information and visiting their office is discouraged. I rang the largest visa service company here in Sydney and they do not know if the consulate will accept applications from service agencies such as themselves when the system starts on 1 October. They told me they have no information. Hopeless.
  14. I’m travelling to Brazil in December. I just looked at the Brazilian Sydney Consulate website and the visa process looks like a bureaucratic nightmare. Amongst (many) other things you are required to submit a statutory declaration as to cities you are visiting and the scope of your activities in each city. Oh dear.
  15. I’m not so sure. São Paulo has the largest number of people of Japanese extraction of any city outside Japan.
  16. A general observation. Things appear to be looking up in São Paulo.
  17. Thank you. Very much appreciated.
  18. I’m confused. Do they provide a happy ending, yes or no?
