Does that mean that ppl in clmbia r less patient and polite?

I didnt mean world affairs, just the sort of stuff 'regular' ppl or friends talk about.... However, since International Relations is my profession - world affairs would be just fine (-:

I agree only bcs I read that in my 'research' before deciding where to study. Almost all ggl results to the question "best places to study spanish" pointed to clmbia and mexico. I cant attest to that based on personal experience, bcs I haven't been to any other Spanish-speaking country since I began my serious studies. I made a HUGE mistake of travelling to virca 10 latin countries before studying.

Thx I asked, bcs my nonsexual fantasy is to have real conversations with these youngsters about anything but sex....

If I may stray: How is all this chatting conducted? English, Thai or translator?

Thx yet again MacDaddi; as always, u r a fountain of knowledge and wisdom. M not looking for an online version. I spent in January two weeks at a Cartagena school, met a great teacher, and since then we have been zooming 3 times a week. How do I find these non-virtual meetups?

Hi Guys, Does anyone know how I can find locals for practicing my spanish informally? Any chance of finding people who'll do this for free, or over a meal at my expense, or as a cultural exchange? Am I being naive..... ?

75, I checked through Whatsapp with Gallery hotel, and was told they charge 30,000 even for a one hour visit..... Did u have anyone over free of charge?

Good for u! Seems like u r quite successful with that. I did it only once, with a cafe waiter close to Victoria Falls. Worked out great.

"were" or are? In regular venues or only on apps? Never met a guy from mdgscr. R they endowed like most africans? Cut?

Hahaha Maybe we could introduce a new prmtr: how deep or how narrow.....

Thx I did. I m not shy. However, as mentioned above, the big was in relative rather than in absolute terms. No one close to 20 cms, no African or Latin size.

OldDaddy, How do u approach all these not-MB straight guys? Do u simply walk up to them and blurt out an explicit question? Is there no risk of offending them, or of an angry aggressive rspns? Jason, how do I find well endowed Thais? I've been there 3 times, and failed. The "biggest cocks" at venues was "biggest" only in Thai terms...

Since u referred to the location, in google maps Fercho appears in cra 43 instead of 45.....

I'm not posting a link, bcs it's only for subscribers. U can read the attached fotos. Highlights: Success is evidenced by the fact that 2 of the 3 presidential candidates r ex-mayors. Rate of homicides is lower than Chicago's. Great transportation system, connecting the far comunas to the center. Very successful municipal utility - EPM. However: too many sex tourists; conspicuous drug use in public parks; small local criminal gangs - "combos" - still control large areas; most poorer residents have more faith in them than in the police or in city hall. FYI

Saturday 22:30 went to the Dark Eagle bar, which seems to be the only venue here. €10 for drink + enterance to the basement cruising. Smallish bar. 12 patrons seating, most of them locals who seemed to know each other. Almost all middle aged. The basement consisted of a small lounge for porn, and circa 6 small dark rooms. VERY clean. 8 guys walking around. Two pairs in action. One relatively youngish who was being sucked blew me for a couple of moments. Then I left. No complaints, but I won't return.

I don't know u Canadian, and it's a bit presumtuous on my part, but I humbly submit the following thought. In 'real' life, in front of all kinds of acquaintences, I too wld feel the need to rspnd. Here, in the digital anonymous life, there's no need to. Furthermore, even in real life there's no need to rspnd to an insult if the insultor is unworthy. If an F student tells me I m an idiot, he doesnt rate an answer. This Slvk likes to pick on guys here with similar-identical accusations; its not only u. He once told someone he wasn't in Colombia, when that guy was sending me pics of himself from there. Just ignore these harassments by a self-appointed troll police.

I really dont undrstnd: Why do u feel the need to prove urself to anyone?

75, Since u prefer questiions about further details in PMs, I'll do that. I'll visit Medellin in August, for the flower festival. Writing here just to commend u for a GREAT report! It embodies the rational of these forums!! Thank u!!!

Unlike Budapest and Bratislava, Vienna seems full of gaysex venues. However, I am staying at the innerstadt; almost all of them r in the gayhood; and I m too lazy and for some reason not enough horny to bother myself going there. There is one gay sauna close by called Kaiserbrundl. Fee is €22, quite expensive. It looks very impressive from the enterance. The non-sex focus is on special saunas, and there is no hot water jacuzzi or pool. The pool is cold, for after sauna-treatment. I passed. During 6 days here, I got about 25 messages, evenly split between grindr and romeo. Only one asked for money - €100, very inexpensive. For those interested, there's a comprehensive online: www.gayguide.at

Slvkguy, I generally agree with u, except for one point - reading what's already posted here. I'm not a newbie, but m far from experts such as u. I always read everything relevant, but somtimes it's just not updated. This is especially true in these post-covid times. An additional point (not a complaint): sometimes the lingo used by experts is partially un-understandable by those not in-the-know. That's my two cents

"All" look good? Isnt the first on the right out of place..... ?

Has anyone seen him or a foto of him with a hard on? It doesnt look like it can rise to attention....

First time ever: as I walked into my hotel room, a sexy no-nonsense guy grindered me, and 20 minutes later he was in my bed. Other than that: No gay clubs or saunas here. He told me locals take a 50 mnts train ride to Vienna for that kind of fun. I was propositioned by 3 not-for-me locals, and 2 from Vienna who r now awaiting my arrival there Monday. Read somewhere that Bratislava is (was?) the porn capital of Bel Ami. Where r all those sexy guys?
