So when the Real falls... do we just get more for our dollars and pounds? or do the guys also charge less becomes Brazilian economy is strained? Think I might book my next trip for end of March!

I love Brazil! And next weekend I'll be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm I guess we'll be meeting in the sauna Friday then! What's your usual day when in Rio? I'm always stuck for something to do when the saunas close in the evening time.

So who is in Rio end of the month and happy to meet? I know a few are and already made a few loose plans. Maybe we should have a champagne night at 117! I'm in Copa from Sunday 28 October!

Not long to go guys!

May sound stupid... but I like to take my backpack to the beach with stuff in. What would you suggest? Put stuff in cheap supermarket carrier bag?

Am I mickey or is there another in town too?!

So is 202 now in pole position with 117?

We can meet for a beer hopefully... we've never been in town the same time!

Anyone in Rio 27 October onwards?

lol cool... last time I visited Rio a federal cop took me to the shooting range at the Rio HQ! (but I met him on Tinder lol) certainly I will try this... it's ok to chat up straight bar staff? suppose the Rio vibe is a sexy one. certainly some parts of Europe I wouldn't dream of this - personal safety would be at risk lol

Where did you find the bar tender? Which bar is he at? - always looking for somewhere gay friendly to visit evening time in Rio not long till my next trip!

What was this place and why was it special?

I'm not sure the guys are seeking overnights per se? Usually I ask a guy before cabin that I'm looking to take a guy out for dinner and overnight too.

But why Tuesdays in particular? do they go to discuss steroids / working out tips? or has it developed over time that Tuesday is muscle men night! Personally I like muscle men which is why I'm interested!

I'm confused.... so is it a bar, a hustler bar or a sauna? I'm pleased if it's a bar / hustler bar as little to do evening time sometimes.

why is 117 good for muscle on Tuesdays? I also prefer the location of 202... handy as most tourists are based here or Ipanema, so beach in day, 202 afternoon / early evening, Ipanema night-time can't wait till end of October for my next visit!

Which cinemas in particular and best times?

Anything similar in Rio?

please add me

So BCN is pretty cheap then?

Would it still be a safe place to travel to if a coup happened? Would prices likely go up or down? (for food and drink etc)

I was speaking with a Brazilian friend who lives in Belo Horizionte last night, he's usually pretty sensitive and sad about the state of his country at the best of times. He was worried it might be the start of a military coup and was likening the situation to the Handmaid's Tale or Syria, Turkey or Egypt. Surely things aren't that bad? If there was a military coup, how would that likely affect tourists / visitors? I was looking to visit Rio in November and March?

OK, so it's better for me when the pound is strong against the real? So, 21 Feb £1 = $r4.52 and today it is £1 = $r4.88. So today I would get more reals for my GBP as the £ is stronger? I might move to Wall Street now I've the hang of it!

How is the Real against GBP? and what's it been like over the past few years? I can never really understand what I should be looking for on exchange rates!
