The girls in Ipanema are goddess lovely (picture the latin singer Shakira) and Rio itself has an abundance of working girls plying trade in a completely legal and unencumbered fashion.
The language sounds like latin more than spanish--among the oddities is the "R" letter is pronounced like an "H" as in Rio de Janiero (hio de han-eye-ho); yes = "sim"; pils works for beer (as does cerveja); and if a garota says she likes you (in "Anglich") this means she wants you. (of course, it is bad form to not pay for her time)
Remember the following:
Portuguese (say por-tu-gay-sa )
garota (girl)
terma (like a brothel, but classier)
programa (literally the program--the euphemism for the time alone with the lovely who likes you)
as in "Garota bonita, quanto para o programa?"
Gulp.
It's a good thing my wife doesn't freep.
I am not a boy but thanks for the Portugese lesson.
THAT is what I was looking to learn! Spot on! LMAO!
