014 Brazil World Cup Match Schedule and Locations
07-04-2014, 05:23 PM
Just arrived back in the US, here were the cities I went to and my brief take:
Manaus: I loved this city and the amazon. Every night the city square was packed with girls (when there was live music, when the music stopped the girls would disappear), and the girls were very receptive to foreigners. Here it didn't matter much that there were lots of other foreign guys, there were just loads of girls... My problem here was logistics, as I planned my trip late and had to stay in hostels/airbnb, which certainly cost me bangs. The heat here was also no joke, and ensured that pickup took a lot of energy/work -- it would take me a good 45 minutes to an hour in the heat, on average, to meet a girl who would be down to at least make out, although sometimes it would take 2-3.
Recife: had horrendous weather while i was there. A local I know there took me out, but most of the bars I went to were a total cockfest. For the first time I regretted coming during the world cup... I did well enough to meet a few girls, but the one night I was in a decent hotel, I couldn't pull a girl from the bar.
Salvador: I actually loved salvador. Arrived on day Brazil played Chile. The Pelorinho was complete nuts. I went out to the bars/clubs there, was likely the only white person, and found receptive girls... Second day I made out with a girl on the beach, and another in a bar while watching soccer. I could barely wait to go out again that night, and went out in Rio Vermelho, but it was a total white soccer fan cockfest. I was at a huge open bar which felt like 85% foreigner, saddled up to the one table which had two brazilian girls, and opened with my standard "Vosseu fala ingles?" -- always a winner. They said no and smiled, but then two f*cking portuguese-speaking pua's saddled up to the girls and pounced. given my meager portuguese skills there was little to do. Talked to two beastly american girls there who were reveling in all the male attention they were getting. Following day met two brazilian girls on the beach. Went to dinner/watch soccer, but two obnoxious americans next to us essentially joined our table (at first I thought it might help with isolation), but it things went nowhere.. ended up making a connection with a girl (or so I thought) later at the Pelorinho, but it turned out she was a prostitute. 200 Reals. Not much really, but I feel like I'm not yet old enough to have to pay for sex.
Sao Paulo: Was just here for a night, went out with a Brazilian girl I'd met several years previously while travelling. I was staying in a nice hotel but couldn't pull her back. Not sure where I fucked up, although I had been out drinking until 3AM the previous night and woke up at 6AM for a flight, so I'm pretty sure I was slurring my speech.
No flag this time in Brazil. I didn't think it was possible, especially based on my last trip to Brazil, for a blonde guy to strike out in brazil. The world cup was only partly at fault -- first for making foreigners less of a rarity, but more importantly for filling up all the available hotel rooms in Manaus. I also didn't effectively arrange any day 2's with the girls i made out with, in part because I couldn't get a brazilian sim to work until close to the end of the trip. Partly, too, I think had I spent less time at soccer matches and on the amazon, I'd have had a better chance at a ons, but it didn't happen. Doing 4 cities in two weeks also hurt -- I'd often get texts/fb messages from girls wanting to hang out, and I'd have to reply that I was no longer around...
Even so, it was still an exciting two weeks.
