Strange to see strippers with mask in saunas in Rio. But they do remove underwear at the end of the show :-))

1 Euro = 5,04 R$ ! 1 USD = 4,51 R$

Pink Flamingo, rue Duvivier close to Cardeal Arcoverde metro. New (only?) gay bar in Copa. Nice place. Lots of young men, even on a Monday nite. Good music. I know that some boys from 117 go there to have fun and eventually pick up a customer. Did not see any es ort while I was there. Cheap : no cover charge until 10 pm and 2 beers (corinitas = small coroas) 15 Reais ie less than 3 € at the current rate. No discrimination here, even for toilets Worth a visit. Nearby is Beco das Garrafas very good bossa nova bar

Pleasure also meeting you and your friends

Blocos da Rua Rio de Janeiro In addition to above comments on the subject, some names of blocos are funny or interesting. "Concentra mas não sai": there is concentração but nothing is going out ... this bloco stays at same place and does not pass. It is very popular. “Suvaco de Cristo”: Christ'armpot (since it is held in Jardim Botanico which is under Corcovado statue, so under Christ'armpit) “Que merda é essa? ”: what is this shit ? “Parei De Beber, Não De Mentir“ : I stopped drinking, not lying . “Fogo na Cueca“: fire in underwear “Bafo da Onça”: jaguar breath “Papo de Cachaças” : chat with cachaças (alcool used for caipirinha). “Se não quer me dar… me empresta”: if you do not want to give it to me ... lend it to me. "Dar" can be understood in the sentence as dar culo (to be fucked). “Se me Der, Eu Como! ”: if you give it to me, I eat it (der is same verb as "dar", comer is fucking). “Chupa mas não baba“: Suck but don't drool (I wish I had time to go to these 5 blocos, particularly one of the last 3. Bafo and papo are blocos for people drinking a lot. "Pinta mas nao borra" : paints but does not stain

Gogo boys are on mondays. Since this bar is a 5 minutes from my place, I will go tomorrow to see what the boys look like.

I was informed of the situation by a friend when I arrived on Feb 20. The problem came from waterweed and clay. I think it has always been safe to take a shower. I avoid drinking tap water and even imagined using bottled water for tooth cleaning but finally decided not to do that since the problem did not come from bacteria contamination (and indeed I did not get symptons linked to bacterilogically contaminated water). I never experienced smelly water. It seems the problem is solved now but maybe only partially since the 15000 l of water used for the swimming pool on the winner of carnaval could not be tap water which was not clear enough ...

117 Wednesday and Friday Wednesday was Feijoada da Monik. Entry, including feijoada, was 100 R$. Lots of people, mostly customers. Good food. Funny show. But the place was totally disappointing boywise. Just a few guys. Noone I really liked. Except Thiago who is a short guy with a large smile and a large dick. But only top. Never bottom. Friday. Regulars are back. I saw many many foreigners but did not see any new face appealing to me. Went with regulars for good sessions. I always enjoy M. and the huge colored dragon he has tattoed on his back. Fucking M. is fucking M AND the dragon. Always hot ! Before coming during Carnaval, I had understood that many boys were coming from other cities to Rio for Carnaval to deal with the many foreigners present but, as mentionned elsewhere, this is not true at all. I was thinking to go early to Lyons to see what was going on and see new boys. But I had a drink in the bar in front of entrance and in 30 minutes, the only 2 persons who entered were customers. So I went to 117.

Do you remember the name he gave you ? There are not that many white guys with huge dicks in Pointe 202 and Matt is around at this moment (I met him when I was there last monday). Matt is only active and knows very well how to use his tool

That is exactly my own concern and plan

I would add that the saunas are exclusively for hetero couples : there are no gay saunas. Very nice and inviting. This is why I am celebrating my 15th trip in 10 years ...

This dick is indeed lovely. Any idea of the name of the guy ? It could be Matt. He has such a huge tool and loves to wank it in front of customers. He is always wearing a tee shirt.

Particularly cancellation caused by fear of coronavirus : either there is coronavirus, your flight is cancelled and insurance is of no use or flight is operated and you certainly have no valid reason for cancelling ...

On March 15th, there are right and extreme right parties, supporting Bolsonaro, who are going to demonstrate against Congress and Supreme Court considering that they are blocking needed reforms. Bolsonaro made and sent a video on whattsapp supporting these demonstrations. A journalist of Sao Paulo knew about this video and decided to distribute it widely. Of course, most parties, members of Congress and Federal Judges considered that it was unacceptable the President to attack Brasilian institutions. Bolsonaro started to say that it was a private document sent to a few friends, then, in front of the very negative general reactions, claimed that the video was from 2015. The SP journalist prooved that the video contained images of Bolsonaro's election and could not be of 2015. TV and papers commented widely, presenting the President as a total liar. The vice-President was sent as fireman to try to calm down situation and showed the Bolsonaro's vision of Brazil : " to make Brazil the most prosperous and successfull liberal democracy in the Southern hemisphere". In Brazil, the fact that the President is acting against the congress is a case of impeachment. After having seen the Trump impeachment trial recently, are we going to assist to the Bolsonaro's impeachment trial or are we going to have a military dictature again in Brazil ?

You are safe : there are not many cases of covid19 in France at the moment :-))

Pink Flamingo This gay bar in Copacabana, close to Cardeal Arcoverde metro, opened last year and seems to be a great bar with shows. Anyone already went there ?

Will 1 Euro be over of 5 Reais ? It is very close ! USD also is very high compared to R$ ! Highest value in the last 10 years

Blocos da Rua (Street Carnaval) Internet sites (eg blocosderua.com) give a comprehensive list of blocos with time and meeting place ("concentração"). Internet site riogaylife.com.br gives a list of all gay and gay friendly blocos with time and concentração. Gay blocos are having difficulties to be organized : the city and military police are trying everything to cancel gay blocos. The bloco Minha Luz e de LED (my light is from LED) for instance received a list of actions to be done (presence of ambulance, of toilets, of security, of fire extinguishers, ...). They did comply to it and to all bureaucracy demanded but at the end of the game, they were not authorized because of incidents which occured last year where attendees blocked circulation of cars in a tunnel for some time. Gay bloco Saymos do Egito had to be held in private places. The famous band of Ipanema which is having his bloco at 5 pm since many many years was first asked to move it to morning, ... In addition, the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, an evangelist bishop, Marcelo Crivella, started to reduce by 50 % subsidies to samba schools in 2018 and then cancelled all subsidies in 2020. The best gay or gay friendly blocos to which I participated are : Bloco das Carmelitas, Bloco das Quengas (prostitutes) certainly the gayest, Bloco dos Amigos da Onçã (on the beach). I did not really like the Banda da Ipanema (the music was good but too many tourists. It is not as genuine as what happened in front of bar das Quengas for instance). The Bloco das Carmelitas was created 30 years ago. Its name refers to a Sister Carmelite who was so attracted by Carnaval that she used to escape from her convent during the Carnaval days. Of course she was very visible in her outfit so in order to hide her in the crowd, people started to wear also the Carmelite oufit. Walking down Santa Teresa on the track of the bonde (tramway) together with the Bloco is really great.

I totally agree. I wonder how the guy managed to spend a few hours inside this costume. That day, luckily for the guy, it was rather cold with rain from time to time.

Pointe 202 Carnaval monday New lockers for customers, new stage screens, multiple tv screens around the room are some of improvements at Pointe. Many customers and boys. A few new faces. It was a good evening in Pointe. March 7th is the 15th aniversary of Pointe until ... 5 am : buffet, RJ/SP strippers, ... worth going.

In blocos to which I assisted, there are many messages against Bolsonaro : Also some funny messages for example this one making fun of people thinking or even trying to demonstrate that earth is flat

Sunday. Gafieira Elite in Centro ... It used to be a very famous dancing place in the 1930s. It is still open and run by the same family. Do not be afraid by the aspect of the building or the very steep staircase to go to the 1st floor. The place is amazing. Live music, performed by a band of 8 musicians is great. It is normally a str8 place but every friday before carnaval and during the 5 days of Carnaval it is gay. Not (m)any tourists there of course ! I went there with a friend who made me discover the place. Entrance is at street level. Dancing at 1st floor and Mezzaninu is used as a back room. You can be naked there and have fun before going back dancing and drinking beer below ... Only drawback is that since it is very close to Sambodromo, it seems that uber pick up place in the area has to be the Sambodromo. We had to walk back in Center at 3 am. Luckily, there were still many people and police in the streets. The manager advised us not to walk holding our phone in our hand though ... Pic above is hetero party from FB Elite site. An even bigger party is planned Tuesday Feb 25th.

117 : Lots of boys and customers. Regulars plus some new faces. No stunning boy in the new faces for me. Shows with Drag Queens even crazier than usually. All prices are increased during carnaval. In restaurants, on the menu, a tape is simply put on usual prices and new prices, increased by at least 30 %, are indicated. Hopefully, they will remove tape by wednesday ... The carnavals in the street are amazing. They are everywhere. There are so many gorgeous men in Brazil. Most are bare chested, often wearing only a short skirt. Lots of eye candy ! It is same as Ipanema beach on sunday, except that it is in the whole city and day and night during 5 days ... Sex symbols are everywhere (but real thing is better).

Yes. In front of metro

Os amigos da onça. The friends of jaguar. Flamengo beach
