It is one of my favorite shows and I never never miss it. I love it. I also like them together but for this show, they have been together longer than anyone in that family. Love lasting long in that family is unique.

Dear Governor, Welcome to the site! We are glad you have come out to us and happy to have you here! Oz

I also loved Steven King's response: @StephenKing Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration act is gay discrimination, pure and simple. You can frost a dog turd, but it's still a dog turd. As for this thread, I love the topic but hate personal attacks. Please stick to the topic.

The Hagia Sophia was a Greek Orthodox Church and then a Mosque and now a museum. It portrays many beautiful mosaics from the New Testament and it very lovely to see. It also tells a lot about the value that the Turkish placed on historical buildings. It is a example of Byzantine architecture and it was the largest domed church in the world for nearly 1,000 years. The church was converted to a Muslim Mosque when the Ottomans conquered Constantinople and many of the Christian symbols were destroyed but the building itself stood tall. Today was rainy and wet and messy and there was a line around the block. My driver told me at least 2 hours. I was not willing to wait. But, a guy approached us and said for an extra 3USD he would take me to the front of the line and get me in. I was doubtful but agreed. It worked great and no wait time. He did the same thing for the Cistern an hour or two later. I tipped him both times and he followed me saying “my friend, my friend.” LOL But, I think I pissed off more than a few who were waiting properly with umbrellas and rain gear.

My first night I did meet a taxi driver that was very cute. He had manicured hands, clean shaven and designer clothes. I asked him where the gay bars were just to find out if he was gay and he told me. He and I chatted. It was a bad chat as he speaks no English. But, i did take him to dinner that night. He was very sweet and taller than me (I'm 6'2"). I have another meeting with him on the trip and he will take me back to airport when I leave.

Thank you! I did see them. Wonderful! I also loved the Harem Room. I have been in the EU side as I am at the Intercon and it is adjacent to Taksim Square. Great area and easy to get everywhere. But, traffic is horrible. I did a Turkish Bath as well. LOVED it! More to come on that later. Thank you. I will try on next trip. I only have one more day and I have a tour in AM. And, Ephesus is 9 hour driver away.

Day 2 The Bosphorus River Cruise The Bosphorus River runs through Istanbul. It is a legendary river that has been in many films and the mansions that were build on the River date back to the Ottoman empire. There was one that a sultan just purchased for 125 Million USD to renovate for his 2nd wife. The river gives you a nice view of beautiful homes, several bridges, the huge Rumelihisar fortress as well as tons of homes that fill the mountain tops of the river areas. The cruise was a great time but the weather was cold and taking photos in an open air boat got this New Yorker, really cold!

I have always been fascinated with the ancient Ottoman Empire since hearing about it in high school. I have always wanted to visit Istanbul. My trip is not so much boytoy or moneyboy related but more of a cultural photo perspective. I am not Tomcal and I don't have tons of boy photos. I am not Firecat and have tons of sex adventures. But, I am enjoying my time in this magical land and I hope some of you will enjoy the photos and the adventure as well. Day 1: Spice Market The Spice Market, or the Egyptian Market, is one of the coolest places to go in Istanbul. It is one of the larger markets and inside you will find tons of spices and places that make Turkish Delight. Naturally, I had to buy a box or two. It was originally called the New Market as it was next to a Mosque that was built from taxes from the Egyptian treasury. There was a big crowd there today but still it was enjoyable to see.

Good and maybe one day they will go to the Thai way, just buy one at 7-11.

Yes, and if Danilo was available today, I'll still hire him on each and every trip for every city as he was great for me and to me. Plus, he was so sexy, I could just stare at him. No sex but I still can fantasize.

I have hired guides for my first 10 or so trips and loved it. For me, it was well worth the money. Back then, it was 100 USD per day. It was money well spent as I had a great guy that gave me advice and helped me to navigate the boys and the scene. I also used my guide to do the negotiating in the saunas and never once missed a guy I wanted as we understood everything up front. I have seen Tom in the saunas and he does not need a guide. (maybe one that slows him down) But, I found for me, that I loved it. Even when I was there with Tom on last trip, he talked to a few boys for me and IPHGuy talked to some others. Honestly, for someone so bad in understanding another language, this helped out a great deal! If you have a good guy recommendation, hire him and test the waters.

The front page of the Indianapolis Star said something to the effect of Change This Now. I don't think they saw the backlash that was coming. And, I also wonder if this is not a good thing as this make make the SCOTUS understand that gays need to be a protected class?

What the fuck is wrong with a snotty liberal? I just blew my nose and I'm all cleaned out.

I did get a SIM years ago when I was in Sao Paulo for a few months. It was a true PITA. It was nice to have, but it took me a few hours in the shop to get it and get all the paperwork done. They wanted other papers and not just a passport. Maybe the laws have changed over time but I did find it very hard for me. I'll try again on the next trip. Thanks for the heads up advice.

I can't wait!

I think I met Allison with you the last time I was there. He was handsome. But, I guess I saw this video and thought it was his brother or something as the one in the video was so much younger. I was thinking it was filmed in 2014. Now, this makes sense. Thanks. And, I knew you would know! LOL

I have seen condos for rent in this place very cheap for Bangkok. I like the location as it is close by an area I enjoy and not far from Silom. Does anyone know anything about the building or someone who have lived there?

Based on your comments, I have started watching. I love it! Great story and great acting. I only only into the first 4 episodes and my only complaint is that I don't see Sissy enough. She is amazing in everything.

i do wonder if she will ever have a normal life. Her reputation is ruined forever and although free, regardless of what the high court says, she will be branded for life.

Is this the one up on Sukumvit?

I found it interesting that the numbers are increasing. I have seen a larger number of guys advertising online and asking for "roses" on Craig's List and offering releasing massages on Grindr. http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2015/03/29/male-students-turning-to-sex-work-to-avoid-getting-into-debt/?utm_source=PNFBimg&utm_medium=socialFBimg&utm_campaign=PNFacebook

I just saw him. He went past me. He said to say hello to you.

I don't think i ever pay in advance or upfront. But, I always do check and double check the bin. On this alone, the bill is wrong about 30 percent of the time.

I always enjoyed low season. But, high season was fun as well as more boys seem to be in town looking for work. Hopefully, most of the boys socked away tons of baht in order to make it through the rough part of the year.

Exactly! LOL
