Visa fees are generally based on reciprocity. So who to blame?

I bought for the moment tickets with AA miles which are cancellable. 7k5 mikes each way. I put google alerts too. Let’s wait and see.

Lol. Which country refunds visa fees in case of rejection?

I’m planning my Dec. to Jan. Trip to Brazil and I noticed that the flights are absurdly expensive from 15 Dec. up to mid Jan. Is it just holiday speculation or they are really gonna remain this expensive? lots of hotels don’t even allow booking that much in advance. How strange!

I know it sounds crazy, but I did just book another trip to Brazil December 2023 to January 2024. Among other good deals, I noticeably managed to use merely 45k Alaska airlines miles to book CXJ(Caxias do sul) to GRU in economy, GRU to SCL in business, and SCL to NYC in business on Latam. I will arrive in San Paulo on 26th of December, and my flight from Caxias do sul starts on 11th of January. The Sandiago de Chile stopover is for five days. I need to insert one other city between 26/12 and 11/01 I’m thinking about Salvador. I chose Caxias do sul because it’s close to Porto Alegre. So I’ll need to buy a ticket from CGH to SSA then to POA. From POA to CXJ I’ll take a bus it’s only two hours. Most domestic flights in late December to January in Brazil are extremely expensive. I think I will burn some of my American Airlines miles. As they are completely refundable, they could be good back up plans. Any suggestions? Any input is welcome! I hope five days in Santiago de Chile is enough.

Here is a brief report on Belo Horizonte. (Upon re-reading the report below I’ve realized how drunk I was while I wrote it on my flight back to Paris. Lol. Anyway, I hope you enjoy:) I was there for 5 days, stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn. 40k points in total so 8k (about 30 usd) per night, which is a steal. The hotel is in a higher middle class area, 10 minutes walk south of Contorno (ring road), with nice shops and restaurants around. It might not be as commercial as Savassi area, where the Holiday Inn is, but it sufficed for me. By the way, in terms of international hotels, these two are as good as it gets in BH. The touristic interests of BH is limited. The museums around Liberty Circle are surprisingly well appointed. Some buildings of Niemeyer in the center are worth a glimpse. Ouro Preto is cute but seriously over rated. Any city over 200k inhabitants in Europe would a more decent old town. I was just there for a day trop. One mirante, two churches and three museums took me 5 hours. If not for a last minute hookup, I’d be bored to tears there. Personally I don’t consider the mineiros the best looking, nor the most hung of all. They are friendly, with mild demeanor and a laidback attitude. This was especially enjoyable in a non-GP sauna. I visited Tres Chic, and scored 3 guys under an hour. Great facility, clean, functioning, with about 30 clean and free cabines upstairs. There were about 100 guys in that Sunday afternoon. The clientele is mostly next door type aging from 30 to 50, very easy to approach. I picked those 3 that I considered the best looking and most hung, one Northern European, one Latino and one afro. None of them resisted. I almost feared that they were gonna charge me something. No, they were just nice to this lost Asian visitor. The first one cum before me, very apologizing. The second one made me cum without finishing up. The afro synchronized perfectly with me and we remained chatting quite a while after. I sized up lots of guys’ cocks there and most of them rang from 15cm to 18cm. Those 3 I picked were 18, 20, 21cm. There were about 3 very young guys there. Scarily young. One was constantly sitting in a dark corner in from of the glory hole entrance. I suppose that he was waiting for mouthy delicacies. One I really wanted to kiss but he disappeared after I finished my 3rd. I shouldn’t have hesitated. Guys don’t remove their towels, not even in the saunas. You really have to walk to them and size it up yourself. The only complain I have is that cellphones are not allowed inside. And that was the very reason I left after merely 1 hour. I did meet lots of free Grindr guys, about 3 per day. One cute bottom was delicious! He came directly from the gym in front of the hotel. He rode my cock like a champ and cum hands free. The most incredible find was on the second last day, an half afro, one quarter indigenous, one quarter European. We talked on Grindr, met in front of the Sanctuario Sao Jose, and walked in the city park while having long chats about everything and nothing. He came with me to the hotel, stayed with me till my cab ride to the airport. His 24 cm cock was one of the most enjoyable ones I have ever had in my ass. We kept in contact and I’m sure I’ll see him again. I brought him to Olympos. We watched the show there, had some drinks and had some light snacks. The Kibe was really good m. There were about 3 or 4 boys I could have hired, but they all lost their lusters compared to my companion. The boys were friendly without being pushy. They all came to introduce themselves, showed off their merchandise, then left us alone. The asking price was 150 and I’m positively sure they’d accept 100. None of them had a cock over 22 cm, and all of them claimed to be top. I’m not sure I would want to go back to BH but I definitely don’t regret that I went there.

Thank you guys. I finally decided to visit BH this time, mostly because Hilton Garden Inn there only require 40k points for five nights. That’s like 26 dollars per night, with all diamond benefits! Lol. Who doesn’t like a bargain? And all in all, it’s a good compromise of many factors mentioned in the posts above.

Scary but I’m going in one month. If it doesn’t calm down there, I suppose the whole Brazil will be infested anyway.

Hey guys. I promise I’m not a lazy ass. I have read almost all posts about these places. Never the less, I’d love to have a more summarized recommendation on which one to visit for the first time for let’s say four for five days from SP, both in terms of boys (free and gp) and tourism attraction. Thank you so much.

It was not that bad. I was wandering near the arcs. All of sudden people started to run around shouting. Restaurants were closing their metallic sliding doors. I managed to squeeze into one and stayed there for about an hour. Fire was set at every crossroads leading to the field and police was just sitting tight outside to wait it to play out. Again, strangely I didn’t feel insecurity, with all the gunshots. Maybe because I didn’t see any blood…

I’ll be in SP during the carnaval this year. I’m seriously debating if I should buy tickets now to the sambodromo parade. I can’t tell which website is the official seller and the prices vary greatly from site to site. Maybe partying from midnight to 7 am is too much for me. Some blocos are selling tickets too. I think I can buy the entrance when I’m actually there. I’m more into the bloquinhos anyway. I have one free week before the carnival in Brazil. I’m considering either Salvador or Porto Alegre. But most probably I’ll end up in Santos as it doesn’t require booking flights in advance. I’m so bad at organizing things…

I have been going to Cuba for extended stays up to the pandemic. I have always been happy with boys there. But three disappointing updates: 1. A friend was robbed in his casa particular by a boy he brought back. He didn’t ask for his ID and send it to the casa owner as I suggested. He lost everything. Phone, iPad, money… 2. A friend hired a boy on the street, 20 yo fresh back from the army (he claimed), but his ass hole was infested by wards. 3. A expat friend still working there told me that all young guys are gone. Most of them back to their hometown. Some moved abroad. In fact I do have two boys left Cuba the past year. Seems it’s really the low time for Cuba. I’m going back to Brazil for another two weeks. I liked the two months I spent there last summer and I never felt insecurity, even I was caught in a gun flight in Rio once. Lol.

Any savvy traveler here knows how the carnival in Sao Paulo works? I’ll be there from 9th to 22nd of February. Thx

I used Airalo esim card

Please. Just calm down. Don’t you guys feel silly cat fighting like this?

Yeah. 3. I forgot the age. I think the eldest is around 8.

We said the same thing in different ways. Lol

I do have a lot of pics and videos of him but I don’t know if I have the right to share here. I did meet him again out of sauna and indeed he was much more relaxed. He was not checking the watch and we had nice long talks too. I learned about his work and family, especially his three boys.

I agree, among those I fucked at least

Personally I’d say the most efficient way would be: step 1. Get a basic gramma and word book, go through it without chewing. Step 2. Get a local companion to practice, reenforcing all the half digested contents you’ve read. Then I guess it really depends on your goals. If it’s for traveling and you just want to do the basics, an app or YouTube would suffice. On the contrary, if you need to deal with the administration, or want to really understand the culture in depth, getting meanings between the lines, with some of the grammatical particularities such as future subjunctive and personal infinitive, then sign up a class in the local university.

Lol. I misread. Star quality. lol. You are right then. I do want to be in a buyers’ market when I’m buying though.

He does live very far as he sent me live location moving out of my map. lol. He has a wife, he mentioned, and a whole life out of this gay scene. How old do you think he is?

Kkk. How do we make perfectly enjoyable companionship out of less than 1 star? You must be too severe with the stars…

It’s actually quite authentic. Apart from certain minor adjustments they had to do due to limits of ingredients, it’s real Chinese food.

Oh. That’s bad news. Cos I kinda thinking about hiring him for some extended programas when I’m back to SP. He’s very persistent, even while I was out of Brazil. But I don’t like rushing through things.
