Ok, let’s do a quick rundown like I did in Argentina.
Women
- Unbelievable variety.
- Unbelievable bodies. I have never seen such curvy, slender, beautiful women as I’ve seen here. Argentinians might be more attractive in general, but Brazileras are much sexier, much more ‘raw’.
- Very passionate kissers. In Argentina, I saw people making out a lot in clubs. It’s the same way here, but Brazilian girls will basically ask you for a kiss if you don’t go for it quickly enough for them. The kissing is strong, powerful tongue gymnastics. I can’t imagine what it must be like to have sex with one of these girls.
Gringo Factor
- I am a fair skinned dude for the most part, but there are all types here. What gives me away is the fact that my portuguese is terrible. I think some girls don’t give a shit that you’re from the states, and some are impressed, and want to speak English with you.
Food
- I haven’t eaten at the ‘pay what your plate weighs’ spots yet. I had steak twice, once it was awful, the other time it was very good.
- Otherwise I’ve been eating like a hostel person, pasta, pizza, salad.
Safety
- I’m naturally paranoid, but most people here are very friendly. You might run into the wrong type one night, and if so, you lose some money or a camera. Not the end of the world.
Hostel Life
- I’m not jaded yet, which is good.
Hangovers
- They have been worse here. I don’t know why. I feel like an old man.
