and it came back 10 mins after you posted this, was out for 7 hrs.....you slept through it, lol

This AND before Christmas....most people are concentrating on shopping but usually 1 or 2 days after Christmas, it gets crazy until the middle of January....in my experience.

Streptomy is absolutely correct, plus crime is at it's highest during that time. Go a couple of weeks before and see the rehearsals. Atlantico Copacabana is where I usually stay and have for years. I'm going next week and is 20usd per night with breakfast buffet for 2. No problem bringing guys to the hotel, can't say that for many places in Rio....

The moral of the story: Do not marry 😆

Prostitution as a profession has been legal in Brazil since 2012.

Someone's perception is their reality, nothing to do with facts 😇

More than once I've seen in Italy, Spain, Mexico and Indonesia, arriving at Immigration or Customs, black guys being detained and questioned whereas their white friends weren't. I remember thinking, I'll bet it's for their skin color as there was no apparent reason. I could see the look in the officers eyes, the same look I see when I see someone I know to be racist and a black or brown person walks by. SolaceSoul, as you said you've seen worse in the D.R.....must be maddening. I sat next to Joe Clark once on a flight, the guy lean on me was based on. He had a super interesting perspective on being black, none of which i expected. He wants blacks to forget the past and move forward. He said when you live in the past you can't move forward to the future. Also, he said he hates when people say that you don't know what it's like to be black, he said he doesn't know what it's like to be white or Asian either. That he was glad of slavery, because there was no other way that he would've been on this continent and lived the life that he did. Many other things too, these just stand out in my memory. on another note, back to the topic.... I have tix to Brasil, hopefully I can make it. My mom had a light stroke a couple of weeks ago, but it changed a lot of things from her being independent to needing daily help bathing, dressing, doing physical therapy exercise and preparing her daily meals. If I go I'll be in Rio & SP Oct 11-26....

It came across that way I know some guys that do 5 programas a night at this price for quantity, making 750 while the 300 muscle guy is happy with one 🤨 I've gone with a couple of muscle guys over the last 22 yrs in Brasil and is not my thing because they are so into themselves, that's why they spend so much time working out? I like Humble guys that are cute/handsome without the superior complex. Yes, I agree..... recently when I arrived in SP, the immigration guy wanted to see my Brasilian passport. He insisted I was form Brasil and was using my USA passport for some reason. Some people think I'm from Brasil, a white Brasilian from the south and I speak portuguese good at times, since I've lived in Mexico, I'm losing/forgetting some portuguese words and default to Spanish now in those cases, that's the give away. But back to the immigration guy, once I started speaking English and he realized I was a gringo, his tone changed and he apologized for assuming I was Brasilian, so the Blue Passport does come in handy. No doubt, DR is Cuba with McDonald's and KFC

I'll bet that sword cuts both ways. I notice the different way me AND the guy I'm with are treated in some places depending on his color. I went to Papa Jack in Copa, their pizza is good, only served at night. The guy with me said to look around, he's the only black guy there (he's brown on the spectrum to me). That people like him usually don't get to go places like that. It's not fancy at all, but I got what he was saying, Cuba is even worse for this in my experience. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder....you'd never see me with a Barbie yet the guy next door type catches my attention. Both in Thailand and Brasil, I'll frequently think "who would go with THAT guy" and shortly after, he has a customer. A car salesman said to me before, talking about ugly cars, there's an ass for EVERY seat, thank goodness for me, lol

How long did they stay together? I remember when Calvin Klein took a kid "away" from 117, I told the kid to save every penny he could for the day he was thrown back to the street. He said Calvin loved him and wasn't worried...one year later he was back in the sauna, great English and some great travel stories. But, he didn't save a dime and agreed he was foolish, they split over something stupid. I had explained to him that people with that type of money treat everything/everyone as disposable. That's just one story, I've seen the same thing repeated over and over with less wealthy people as well. Men are whores , lol

From stories I've heard and know that are true in Mexico and Thailand.....straight guys are bigger fools with their money, we know this. But the girls are devious and there's a ton more ways to lose money, overpay and end up in a bad situation....I'm glad I'm gay in this respect.

I know a few Mexicans and Brasilians that have OF accounts, they said the make enough to get by, I read an article that the average payout is $180 usd a month, many online sex workers who have established a presence on OnlyFans. Many of them talk about how difficult it is to earn decent money on the platform since a big part of it is wrapped up in being able to build a following. Beyond that, you have to spend time and energy to produce content consistently for some time before the account starts turning a big enough profit. Plus the 20% commission Many people generally brag about earnings in general, especially to justify doing it, no? Not saying I don't believe you, sounds like the exception more than the rule.

How much I need a Thai food fix....going to Brasil in a couple of weeks, there is a decent Thai place in SP, not as good as in Thailand, but pretty close.

The SPOT= http://www.restaurantespot.com.br/ EVERYTHING is great here, make reservation ahead of time. They only hold so many tables for res and rest is 1st come. Casa de Porco= https://acasadoporco.com.br/ Michelin star rated Veridiana Pizza= https://www.veridiana.com.br/contato AMAZING pizza and service. Can order one pizza with 3 different types, kind if like 1/2 & 1/2 but 3 Terraco Italia= https://www.terracoitalia.com.br/ Food, View, ServiceLos Burritos= http://www.losburritossp.com.br/ Crazy good Mexican food, I live in Mexico 😉 Those are my favorites, off the top of my head. Plenty more too... So many good gourmet hamburger places. I remember when McDonald's was the best burger you'd find in Brasil, lol

Cuba is like Thailand....I'll believe it when I see it....even then, brings lots of grocery items because the shelves are empty there.... https://www.travelpulse.com/news/destinations/cuba-to-ease-travel-restrictions-in-november.html

Good video.....makes me glad I'm not planning to go back until it's open like he said, normal and not restrictions. The comments on Youtube are funny....

I have as much if not more fun in SP. Better restaurants and most of the guys don't live hours away from where I stay. This results in most guys coming to my room from the sauna instead of using the rooms in the saunas.... Did I mention better restaurants....

Happened to me in Medellin, Devil's Breath

I hope they do a better job...the location for public transportation makes it a little more difficult to get to for the guys. I had guys asking for a ride whenever I left because the knew I stay in Republica....

Mexico...lot's of options. Whenever I show my "not into Asian" friends pics of Thais that I like....they always think they are Mexican or Latin. However, I like the brown skin guys...not so much into white 😉

When this has come up in Thailand, the guy will say...I'm not gay, I MAN.....just meaning he's a top, I tell them I'm not gay, only in the bed ,lol

I got my 3rd Moderna while I was in Boston last week...My Dr. said they weren't authorized to give it yet, so I went to CVS and said it was my 1st shot.

Thought you were going to Europe and forget about Brazil....?

Most of the type of guys that used to go to old Fragata, went to and stayed at Lagoa. I went on opening night and a couple of times after...even though I liked old Fragata, the new one never caught my attention, and obviously not many others either. From their Instagram:

why not use T-Mobile? For $50 you can upgrade to their global plan....unlimited callas, texts and 15 gb internet....it already comes with 3g internet for free and 10 cent calls to the usa, but the 60 buck upgrade is worth it...better than At&T $10 a day
