I’m at the Rio carnival and I need a Payday Loan – help!

I always watch the Rio carnival on the TV. This year I'm here

I can't believe that I managed to be at the Rio carnival, but there's a problem and I need a quick Payday Loan. By the way, if you are looking for hours and hours of stunning under-dressed girls, make plans to be here next year. I guarantee that this spectacle will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The facts

This year the carnival takes place in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, February 21-24. That means 4 days of non-stop samba. But if you haven't booked yet, be careful – over 80 percent of available hotel rooms have been sold. Make sure you've got a bed.

The crowd

The crowd of spectators generally comprises 70 percent foreign tourists and 30 percent Brazilians. This year, because of the crisis, it is expected to be about half and half. So far, an estimated 46,500 tourists are set to disembark in Rio in the coming days from cruise ships that arrive in the city in time for the carnival.

The money

Estimates say that Rio will earn about $13.6 million from carnival-related tourism in 2009.

Join in

Anyone can join in the fun. There is a charge for a costume but it's reasonable. Why do I need Payday Loan? I have been practicing in a samba class, wiggling my hips and swinging my, er, chest for a few days and boy, am I stiff! I can hardly move. More than that, I think I threw something out. I need that Payday Loan for a doctor visit, or at the very least, a few sessions of massage and a case of liniment. ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "I'm at the Rio carnival and I need a Payday Loan – help!"
