Trip Booked - Ladyboy Adventure in Brazil

[Rockheart]

Here I found some better mountain bike trails in Rio. I knew there would be some better trails in the jungle.
Still nothing looks too hard. A few tricky looking trails but they have padding on the trees, haha.

Hope all works out for your Brazil trip! I have read there are some Japanese/Brazilian mixed shemales there, so hopefully you can discover 1 or 2 of them.

I buy my insurance from my insurance broker. The actual insurance companies application questionnaire designated "moutain biking" (not casual bike riding) as an extreme sport and I suspect this statement is solely based of actuary tables of the severity of injury vs the sport. They did not, however, consider zip lining or riding an atv as extreme sports, I was told. I guess not many people fall from zip lines, so that's encouraging. These were activities I knew I would be doing, so I ask for best coverage specifically. Same process applies when I travel to thialand.

The other part of determining cost was , "do you plan on visiting the USA"... that added cost as well because as they said, the health care is more expensive.

I did buy insurance every trip. To everywhere outside the USA it was under 50 bucks... around 40 or so bucks for 30 days coverage... the California trip it was more but not allot ... I think about $80 for each of so double the non US insurance bit not bad for peace of mind.

As I say just riding a "mountain bike" is cycling. If you ride any type of bike down a mountain, that could be construed as extreme mountain biking. However if you ride a "mountain bike" on a road in a mountain it would just be cycling. I expect the type of riding is what they are concerned about, rather than the type of bike. Any type of mountain biking has become so mainstream I think it is pretty much covered by most insurance now.

Insurance broker, that explains it, they nickel and dime you to death. They want $500 on top of my insurance policy just to insure my mountain bike.
GMS travel insurance is much better, or a work group plan usually has less rules.

I would never do anything in a 3rd world country like zip lining or para sailing because you just cannot trust the safety procedures.
There is too much equipment to break. A bicycle won't usually hurt me if it breaks down.

The only way they would know where I am biking is if I totally injured myself so badly I couldn't move or was unconscious.
Otherwise if i broke something I would say it happened on a bike path.
I have never been hurt this bad. I had a horrible crash doing real mountain biking in BC and all I did was break one little finger.
I'm lucky to be fairly indestrucable. No other broken bones, not even a real cavity.

Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside Japan.

It is difficult to get a PCR test where I am but not impossible. Other provinces it is easier to get a test.
If you can fly international from Calgary they have a 2 day quarantine on the way back but there is a limited number of places to go direct from Cowtown. Still i have been pretty much locked down for weeks at a time anyway so a couple weeks on the way back isn't a big deal. I have to do my tax when i get back anyway.

Brazil has quite a bit of testing but I am still taking a chance on that. I'm hoping there is some shift in policy in Canada while I am gone.

WHO already said quarantines need not be more than 10 days. Canada could even get worse while I am gone, who knows.
Maybe they will jab me on arrival back in Canada and then whisk me away for scientific experiments at one of their secret Covid internment camps. I hope there is free weed.
Not clear why airlines have not come up with rapid testing on both ends.

Lockdowns here get worse as things get better, strange brew.

Flying internationally back to Calgary and doing the test and 2 day quarantine is a trial and ONLY available for Alberta residents. See the GoA link below for a full explanation of the program. When you scroll to the bottom of the page you can read how successful the testing rate has been with determining passengers with Covid. First test is 1.48% of people entering the country are positive. If they don't do the test and 2 day quarantine then they do the 14 quarantine for which stats are not available. The follow up test that all have to do has a lesser Covid rate.

Bottom line, this project is proving to be quite successful but as usual the liberal/socialist scum do whatever they can to screw-up citizens freedom of movement and freedom of choice by invoking the pre-foreign country boarding PCR test.

YYZ they also do free voluntary quick tests for incoming passengers. These are not accepted by the government.

Looks like Trudeau isn't going to let me go.
Can't even leave the country?

See the Rio Othon Palace hotel on the left. Cross the little R. Xavier de Silvera side street. See the light green apartamento. Second one to the right of ROP. Cheap rent for studios. Should be able to score one since so few tourists. Lazy maids clean only once a week. Kitchen is as small as your janitorial closet. Shower has lots of hot water when you light the gas tankless water heater. Steaming hot. The manager is a fat asshole who will not give a shit about you. Even threatens to throw you out if you cause trouble even though you didn't cause it. Frankly I though Rio and Brazil is a piece of shit. Everything is a ripoff. If you walk down Avenida de Atlanitca to the left of ROP you'll see the Help Disco. That's where everybody goes at night. It was 2001 new year's celebration I visited. It rained and rained and rained. On top of everybody in their evening dresses. Luckily I just crossed the street and went to sleep in my apartamento. I think I paid US$25 per night. Watch out, everybody is super rude and hates tourists. Hope this Google map works.

Help is long closed but the girls there were very friendly. It was a great bar.
There is many apartments on Air BnB of almost every price.
I will probably get something a little more upscale than your past flat.
I am hoping not to appear as a tourist so much so will probably not stay on Copacobana.

That is fine if nobody wants to hang with me. All I need is a rental bike, a nice shemale and and apartment.
It happens i know somebody there.

Take lots of pics of Rio. The beaches, the hookers on them and on the streets, the favella slums, the closed restaurants, discos, and hotels, the shopping areas, the Hard Rock Cafe, and anything that's open. Bets it's going to be depressing seeing so few people around wearing masks.

I probably won't make it. Canada is going to block all International travel very soon. I think after the inaguration in the USA, they will also block travel. So I am going to try and escape sooner but it may not be possible.
Get out now before you can't ever get out again. I shouldn't have waited.

Most places remain open in Rio except if they went out of business. People wear masks everywhere in Brazil, CNN may make you think otherwise.

We are all stuck in place. Can you still go skiing? How's the weather over there?

[P&G]

In Europe, skiing is prohibited in most of the countries.

It is completely different being locked down in Hawaii than being locked down in the arctic.
If I was in Hawaii there is so many things I could do, it doesn't even compare.

Ski hills are open but you are not supposed to travel to them. Even if I did go skiing i would be completely alone.
Bars and restraurants are take out only and I have to ride alone on the lifts. Cannot talk to anyone or even see one smile.
What is the point of being even more lonely skiing that just sitting here.

Can't go outside often it is too cold.
Can't skate or ski or play hockey there is absolutely nothing to do.
I'd rather die that do this anymore. Single people have just been abandoned here.
