maybe i shouldnt have said 'as a tourist'...going to visit the girlfriend so will be living with her...so at first im sure will visit a few places..but after that..im more interested in just living as if im brazilian(lol)..rather then visiting tourist places and spending loads etc! |
You can live out just about any lifestyle in Brazil - what you consider "cheap and cheerful" might be luxurious for me or the other way around, or DGM42 may consider 3500 R$ is the absolute minimum required to live in bearable conditions yet to you he's living in the lap of luxury.
I normally take around that but I'm eating out in expensive restaurants some days for work, other days eating from the food stalls on the beach for next to nothing - all depends. I always end up spending way more because I end up buying 1001 pieces of trinkets from the guys selling coconut water.
