do I have to pay to make a flight reservation?
I want to book my flights to go to Brazil now but I will be leaving only in January. Do I have to pay for it in advance? Can I make a reservation now and pay in cash later? I don't have a credit card, but I know I will have all the money I need in January.

1 :
If you deal through a travel agent, you can make the reservation but not pay until later. Explain your situation to them, they will work with you. AND, they will try to get you the best fare. Happens all the time.
2 :
if your booking online, you have to pay in advace. if your booking through a travel agent then you can pay later
3 :
Some airlines do have an option to pay later. I know US Airways has a "bill me later" service they advertise every time you book a ticket online. However, I'm fairly certain it's really just a convenience service through a financial institution. I'm sure there are some hefty financing charges too. You can always try taking a small loan out from your bank.

i do not think so

Is there anyone from Brazil or Rio that can tell me about life down there?
Is there anyone from Brazil or Rio that can tell me about life down there?
I am considering moving to Rio de Janeiro. Can anyone tell me what the job market is like? I have experience as a dance instructor and Waitress. What type of money can you make in the tourist district? How much does housing cost? Is it dangerous for a white girl of 26 to live there? Are there any ballet or other dance schools in the city? What is public transportation like?

Hi! Jane. You don't said us what is your country but, I think may be USA. Sorry, but, only US/UK citizens has too much lack of information about Brazil because the power of your media who insist to classify Brazil among the poor and losers of the World. Poor ignorant journalists... Well, let me answer each question about Rio: (1) JOB MARKET Job market is VERY COMPETITIVE. People must to study at college, get a MBA and have job experience for good vacancies. In your area (dance) you need a previous - comproved - experience. For waitress: many restaurants offer jobs to people with no experience, but is not easy to find one; Universities in Brazil (people studing for a best carrer): www.youtube.com/watch?v=uymIvdBLJZE www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Iov6K9Q8xU (2) MONEY WITH TOURISM You need be an official tourist guide to work in Tourism . Work in a hotel is another good option, but, you need to speak portuguese, Clary, of course. You may be an indirect employee in tourism workin in a cafe/bar, night club, restaurant or another place near tourist attractions; (3) HOUSING Housing is not cheap in Rio, because this is (1) a cith with high HDI level, (2) capitol of the richest state of Brazil and (3) a important tourist place. You need to expend some from $ 500.00 (a single vacancy in a family house) to $ 1.200 Brazilian Real in an apartment. Cheap Housing (vacancy in a family house): //images02.olx.com.br/ui/3/48/88/44564088_4.jpg Apartment for middle class (600 - 1,200 Real montly): http://images.google.com/images?hl=pt-BR&rlz=1I7ADBS_pt-BR&um=1&q=apartamento&sa=N&start=36&ndsp=18 Apartment for high middle class (1,200 to 5,000/month): www.youtube.com/watch?v=evm4Ef9wVPc www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh7vzdXdGmg (4) DANGER X WHITE PERSONS Sorry but this question is not clear for us, Brazilians. In our culture danger has nothing to do with races, but, place. By the way: Rio is a city with some 6 million of inhabitants. 50% are whites. We receive, also, thousand of white tourists every month, so...why Rio could be a dangerous place for whites???

Serious? OMG. Exist hundred, like in any western rich city. (6) PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Depends on where you live. Exist four ways to move into the city using public transportation: (1) Taxi, you can find a lot of these, but it is a little it more expensive; (2) Bus. Cheap but not so good and less comfortableYou find a lot, also. (3) Train. Cheapest but not good; and (4) Metro/subway. The best option. A ticket cost 2.8 Brazilian Real but trains has conditioned air and are fast and safe.

In Brazil, making R$600 on paycheck, is that considered good? Sufficient to live?
In Brazil, making R$600 on paycheck, is that considered good? Sufficient to live?
If someone in Brazil makes ~ R$600 on a paycheck, is that considered sufficient money? Can one provide a home for him/herself & food and necessities with that? The person is living alone. Southern Brazil. Sao Paulo area. R$1,200 every month, or R$600 2x every month. I'm Canadian, and here we are paid 2x a month. Not sure if in Brazil it is paid monthly or 2x a month.

The payment in Brazil can be made weekly (usually for workers in factory) or monthly for jobs in offices. wage of R$ 1.200,00 is a very low wage, A wage that is enough to pay rent, feeding, health insurance, clothes, condominium tax, electric power, Internet, gas. I esteem that it is of R$ 4.000,00.
2 :
In Brazil it's monthly. I don't think you can live by yourself with R$ 1.200,00 living alone. You would have to rent a room or rent a house with other people. The cost of living in Rio and São Paulo is high. Food is expensive here in Rio.

Try again. This was a loan awarded by the Export Import Bank. The US is MAKING money off of the 2 Billion dollars. It was NOT "given." It was LEANT.

Further, this LOAN fosters the Brazilian Oil company to a state in which it will be further contracting labor and machinery from... AMERICAN COMPANIES. All in all, this is a good thing for America.
