You are in Rio. Order a caipirinha or a caipiroska.

Go ahead

I could not agree more. It is hard to believe that this topic was even brought up here, a community of sophisticated travelers.

In my coming trip I have the intention (can you feel my low commitment?) to leave the beaches hoods and explore more Centro, LAPA, Santa Teresa, etc. I noticed New Meio Mundo is in that area, I may use as final stop after one of my walkings. It looks like Mondays and Fridays are the popular days, I will plan accordingly.

Meh. Troubling, indeed. Interesting? I do not think so. It happens all the time, everywhere, and it has always happened all the time and everywhere.

Please, before reading the article posted above by one of the new racist forum members, take a read to this disclaimer available on the same webpage: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/disclaimer/ If you then read the article, it is easy to understand how a research that includes a 30 subjects sample and categories as not rigorous as "African American", "Caucasian", or "East Asian", is published there. The only valid conclusion for this research is that the Black guys they chose for their study (only 10) tended to sweat more. Racism, ignorance, and stupidity always parade together.

Remember, all the Paraná river region is Yerba Mate kingdom. Sharing saliva while sharing bombillas is mainstream.

LOL. I am running back to South America as soon as I can. But do not waste your time with this debate. When you are an ignorant self centered Gringo, you only see boats fleeing to your amazing democracy.

Really? I have exactly the opposite impression.

Not really, I am just making a deduction from @floridarob's opinion. I do think the blockage is enforced and have dire consequences on Cuba's economy, and I do think that the world has much to work from Cuba's education and health systems. Finding American sodas in the island does not mean the sanctions are not working.

I disagree. However, you are making a strong point against the sanctions. If they are economically ineffective and instead provide the Revolution with a propaganda tool, why to keep them?

YES!!! All my Wednesdays at Point have been memorable!

Am I just dumb or is this the most cryptic of yours posts ever?

I respectfully disagree. Patriotism is one of the most shameful and laziest values. Too many Gringos are quick to judge other nations flaws, while staying fully blind at their own miseries. Few things are more pathetic than someone not recognizing criticism and bringing up some lame excuse.

So good to know that there is a sound safety plan in place! Otherwise, look at me in December:

This tiny lost for meteorology may turn into a huge jump in his porn career.

I would love to connect. It would be such an honor that you'd change your plans! When you arrive on 30/31, I would already be a veteran, after almost a full week of runaway-slutting.

Like you, I feel like an apprentice next to some friends here. But I want to make very clear that I consider myself a very Proud Runaway Slut.

My apologies. I should hace capitalized Runaway International Slut.

I suggest a theory with no scientific pretension. Just teasing you and @floridarob. Devil's breath may not be an urban myth. It may be real, although the possibilities of being a DB victim may be near zero. However, when you are a runaway international slut, your life experience surely involve samples of even de less probable incidents.

Hello there. Is anyone going to spend the Hollidays in Bogotá? It is going to be my first time in the city and would love to hang out with the connoisseurs. I rented a very small, cozy and cheap 1BR in Chapinero Central.

Hello there. Is anyone spending Thanksgiving in Rio this year? I just rented an airbnb a few blocks away from Point.
