Haha, I actually made a trip on a rented motorbike once from Siem Reap to Battambang - and back! For many years, foreigners were not allowed to rent a motorbike in Siem Reap (at that time it was possible in Kampot or Sihanoukville but not in SR), but then those rentals appeared in SR too, even though they were more expensive than elsewhere in Cambodia ir Vietnam. Anyway, you don't really need insurance. That trip - SR to Battambang - became one of two occasions in my life when I crashed a bike (another one was on Bali). That crash on the Battambang highway was kinda not too good for the bike - I was fine with some bruises and cuts, but the bike was smashed: the front totally gone, one the brakes smashed, a part of another bike lodged into my engine - that sort of thing. I carefully drove it to Battambang and asked at the hotel for a bike repair shop - got the bike there, and it took them maybe three hours to do everything: new brakes, new everything, new front panel and side panel - they actually looked for identical of the same color (later in SR I returned the bike not mentioning the crash and they didn't notice) - so all those repairs of a pretty major crash cost me 13 (thirteen) dollars. So, you don't really need insurance. (I drove that bike back to SR from Battambang the following day).

Should be fine - hey it's Brazil, nobody would give you 100% assuarances but should be fine - on the way back definitely wait inside until the Uber arrives at the door before heading out, but that's my normal way anywhere in Brazil. I do remember driving in an Uber to this old town sauna from another part of the old town and looking at the sights from the window: or hey this man is actually breaking into somebody's car right this second let's not stop here lol. I usually arrive before 6pm like 5-ish, as 7:30pm is the time some guys may start to trickle out one by one

weather-wise, October is great for both cities as the rain season will have been well over beach-wise, I like Recife more with its long wide beach which you can walk to from your hotel by simply crossing the road. The only downside you can't really swim as it's shark-infested (and it's serious). sights-wise, Salvador has an upper hand as it has an incredible history and an amazingly beautiful old town. Recife has pretty and colonial Olinda in its suburbs too, though - a nice half-day trip. Recife's airport is much closer to the city than Salvador's. The other important consideration is security and safety - Salvador is defo more dangerous and you need to know where you go. Even in the old town, local folks were screaming at us on the street on several occasions: "don't turn right here, perigoso, turn left" GP-wise, Salvador is a bigger city and is considered the capital of the black Brazil - so there goes the prevailing type. A couple of saunas are good. Recife is more diverse but a bit more next-door'ish, but a couple of excellent saunas and I always had good time there. It's a matter of personal preferences - despite Salvador being more historically rich, if I needed to make a choice for myself, I'd choose Recife, but YMMV. If you are talking specifically mid-week rather than mid-October, then Salvador may have an edge as Tuesday night is an incredible night in Salvador with the old town coming alive for a great street fiesta. In Recife, mid-week would be certainly much quieter, with the best sauna nights being Thurs, Fri and Sat - I was shocked to find out that Sunday is a dead day in Recife, even though it's one of the best days elsewhere in Northeast like Fortaleza and Sao Luis

As others said, Iguazu are amazing - though no beach and no GPs. If you want to have both a beach and GPs outside Rio with little hassle, that would be Salvador and especially Recife.

It stopped opening about a month ago or so - dead for now. It was an awesome forum with honest reviews for all escorts in Argentina

I've been once - nice carnival-like fiestas in the old town. not the size of the carnival though. I like sao luis, even though it's clearly getting in a worse shape rapidly

Actually, those "short-time" half-hour offers are fairly common in Spain - and I took upon them from time to time, especially I've seen instances where they don't really differ from dates on normal rates (either because short-term rates run longer, or - more often - normal rates really don't really end up in an hour spent)

understand that. though Spain (outside Barcelona, Madrid and San Sebastian) is amazingly cheap and a great value in Europe

Sorry - just seen this. Andalucia is simply wonderful and actually requires some time. My favorite region in Spain. Seville is amazing, though overrun with tourists. Granada and Alhambra are breathtaking, though you may need to secure Alhambra tickets two months beforehand. Cadiz is different and interesting. I'm simply in love with Jerez that many people miss. And then you just drive around, pop into white villages or town and discover them. Ronda is great but is on a tourist circuit, I really liked Antequera, Zahara de la Sierra is typical Spain, Mijas is a beautiful white village, Estepona is so pretty, Torremolinos is for beaches (as are places beyond Nerja) plus is becoming Spain's gay capital. There is plenty to do in the region.

When I was in Ecuador (Quito) many, many of those Skokka profiles turned out to be fake - I spent time whatsapping, and when I got more real pix they were different, or the guys tried to openly or candidly scam you - I used Skokka in other Latam countries and it was reasonably ine (with precautions), but my experience in Ecuador was not too positive. I even got threatening whatsapp messages (obviously I laughed and blocked them) from some of those profiles after a couple of messages, saying something "this is a cartel, we know you are hunting for guys, we know where you live, pay us money" - they didn't know where I lived or any other details as I never shared them lol so that was never a real threat, but you see the bigger picture which direction it might be going

I've been maybe a year ago - and in my previous visit 12yrs prior it was MUCH more dangerous. Had a great long weekend trip - both in San Salvador, on the beach and ob ruta de las flores. There were two gay bars in San Salvador - literally on the same block, one was legit and had a young crowd, the other one (promising go-go dancers) felt scam-mish. There was one offer online from a decent guy for $50 but I was one the move between mountains and beaches and just didn't have time. Amazing country - I'm not a big fan of Central America (compared to South America) but El Salvador is very good

Hmmm. The IG page mentions boys and suites!

In Spain, Telechapero and Destacamos are widely used locally

I swung by Torremolinos again this past weekend - it's off season, porn stars are still there and good deals abound. Just this weekend, among the porn stars available through different platforms were Ricky Hard, Victor Ferraz, Viktor Rom, Jack Bandit, Tom Storm, Andy Toro, Aday Traun (who actually looks better now than in his past porn days), and some others slightly less known. I hooked up with tho of those for 150e each, and one of them mentioned that the business in off season is not so good, so I guess rates are lower than in Madrid or Barcelona. With the clubs in Torremolinos still putting out events, there is a healthy turnover of pornstars any given weekend, and it could be a nice opportunity. Away from pornstars, I had a wonderful fantastic fit 25yo Cuban in Malaga off the escort sites for 60e - so Malaga and suburbs are not too bad at all.
