12is12 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Hi Guys, I'm off to Rio next Thursd. Just finished second research-browsing. THANKS VEY MUCH to all you educators, sharing and contributing. 1) I'll be staying 5 evenings: Frid-Tuesd. Planning to stick to 117, except on closed-Sund. Are there any night shows in 117? Which days, what time? Are they worth it? 2) Where do I go on Sund? The majority opinion here is very negative about NMM, but I found no updated mention of 202 (which is near my hotel). Recommendations please. PS - Despite investing an effort in finding an English-speaking companheiro (6 international websites/apps, CL, VivaLocal), I came up with nothing. Any advice (beyond posts in my initial thread on the matter) would be GREATLY appreciated. Direct contact info - even better! Thx again to one and all (-: Quote
Guest bobbalino Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Enjoy your trip! Note 117 is closed Mon, not Sun as you wrote. Perhaps you would swing by 202 on Monday, in that case. Once you arrive, you can ask the club reception staff about show nights and times, as they sometimes vary. Nothing special about them other than that they can be, how can I put it, rather idiosyncratically peculiar (notwithstanding the language barrier). You can find Facebook profiles for all 3 venues to get a flavour. Quote

Which days, what time? Are they worth it? They have shows most nights and they are not worth watching unless you enjoy seeing sauna boys that have been walking around dancing on a stage OR you are relaxing drinking and talking... 2) Where do I go on Sund? 117 is open Sunday...closed Monday...try MM on Monday...I enjoyed it the last Monday I was there The majority opinion here is very negative about NMM, but I found no updated mention of 202 (which is near my hotel).

Learn some Portuguese...the better English a guy speaks, chances are 1. he is not going to be interested in you because he is NOT a sauna worker or 2. he is a seasoned sauna worker and will try to milk you for as much money as possible... At least pick up some basics...it will help you out in the long run 8 hours ago, 12is12 said: Thx again to one and all (-: Quote
Members redxs Posted January 18, 2017 Members Posted January 18, 2017 I think somebody did a timetable for the saunas in one of the threads? Has anyone the link? Maybe you can update it! Quote
