How do you go down there so regularly? Do you own a place down there, have a friend, or just find a roommate each time? What city do you go to?

My sensei goes down to Brazil every so often to train with Royler. I wish I could go there but, I have a feeling that if I actually did save up enough money to go. I would spent most of the time getting drunk and trying to pick up bitches.

No idea now. Me and my girlfriend had saved $1000 to go for 3 weeks in December and were going to take another $2000 from our student loans to go so we would have $3000. But plane tickets were going to run us $1200 a piece so we had to put it on hold. I didnt anticipate them being so expensive.
Weve decided to wait for when we can go for 3-4 months and go to a language school and learn port. We would like to be able to go this time next year, but we also want to move to San Diego so im not sure. I just graduated college 2 weeks ago so my whole life is kinda up in the air right now.

Hey Stu, over the four months you were in Rio about how much did it cost you in total? Your rent, training, food, partying? Were you spending over $1000 us a month? Thats about 650 pounds a month.
