... in response to Colombia or Brazilian ..what are the m..., posted by Jake on Apr 18, 2005[This message has been edited by Medellin Agency]
I lived in Rio for one year, in Ipanema-two blocks from the beach, traveled all over Brasil for 3 years, and speak fluent Portuguese. Beautiful people, great food (better food than in Colombia), beautiful beaches, and a people that live life NOW!
I still would, personally, choose a Colombian girl over a Brazilian to marry, when you put the entire package together…Not to say that there are not wonderful women in Brasil also.
If you want to explore Brasil, visit Rio only for the tourist spots (and be careful!). Go to Bello Horizante, Oro Breto, Porte Alegre, Recife, Fortaleza, Florianopolis and other cities in the interior. They are not spoiled by sex tourism.
Brazilian women think completely differently than Colombia women and I have a 1000 stories to tell including going out with the ex-girlfriend of the “Kingpin” of the Rio Mafia and owner of 3 Samba schools (ask your Brasilian wife about that!)…part of the reason I’m not in Rio anymore.
The family told me “we don’ t believe in violence.” They were lawyers that owned construction companies, slot machines etc. They said if they were “honest” lawyers in Brasil, there is no money. If they are “dishonest” lawyers, they will get money but get killed sooner or later. The Uncle, age 28, ran all of the gambling machines in Sao Paolo. My little Mafia princess, 22, a little blond goddess, told me her ex-fiancée, the Rio Kingpin, age 36, who inherited everything from his father, flew the both of them First Class from Rio to South Africa for her 21st Birthday.
Just curious, being a pilot, asked “how much did the tickets cost.”
She says, “$350 USD each.”
I say, “$350?? Did he have frequent flyer miles?”
She says “NO, they were bough from a lady he knows that has copies of credit cards.”
I say “stolen credit cards!!”
She says “NO, they were just copies, it is normal in Brasil…”
Well, the family did not approve of me since I told them I was just an honest guy and the Kingpin wanted her back…I did return to Rio later to visit the Grandmother. When you’re in love, you’re in love…
Still many beautiful people there.
Contact me anytime for inputs/info on Brasil.
