Default Re: female tourists in Manaus beware!

Yes, I returned to Brazil for one girl that met on holiday. I was tired of London anyway so that was just a trigger to complete change in my life. I don't regret it not even for one second. She turned out to be so called "malandra" so a clever street person who uses tricks to get something out of you whether it's money or things. I was very vigilant but my heart was just breaking when she tried more and more tricks on me slowly killing my feelings for her. In a way I was happy because better sooner than too later. So, gave her two final tests after 5 weeks of our "relationship" and she didn't pass. Handed in a letter translated by one of my ex ex from London living in SP explaining why I want to break up. She cried maybe for 5 min then completely forgot what just happened and went off smiling and very cheerful. That was a culture shock I understood at that moment. Basically, in such environment full of lies and very limited or no trust you this is the only way of survival otherwise you'd go depressed full time! hope your experiences where not to bad with that guy cause they are artists in those games... like their soap operas (think it originates from there but it's a part of the culture).
