Have you been there before? Are you interested in seeing the sites more or the bars more?

Honestly, I am not sure. I don't keep anything questionable on mine. The only thing I can think of that might be problematic is torrents. And, I would never put them in any cloud device. They are too big of files IMHO. That said, as with everything on the net, if it is illegal, do not put it online. Anywhere. EVER. And, I think that includes torrents. As for porn, I put it there all the time with no issue. But, I also have the legal right to the photos I put online. I use AEBN to download movies and I keep all of them on cloud devices. I also have porn photos I own and store there. It is never a worry for me. But, they are all legal and nothing questionable. I would be leery about torrents.

I don't disagree with you. But, I keep backups of photos, videos, ect on the cloud. If someone at MS wants to look, they can go for it. I have no highly classified information so for me, it works well.

If you are a total size queen when it comes to online data drop box accounts, you need to read the latest offerings from Microsoft's One Drive. I was a bit shocked when I saw my storage on my computer showing 1TB possible so I had to research. I have the 9.99 Office Package as it is worth it for me to get the updates, plus free Skype minutes plus free storage. Now, storage is drastically bigger, longer and uncut and no extra price increase. Love it! https://blog.onedrive.com/your-onedrive-just-got-bigger/

A judge in the Florida Keys today overturned Florida's ban on gay marriage. Circuit Judge Luis Garcia in Monroe County made history, ruling that a provision in the Florida Constitution that outlaws same-sex marriage violates the U.S. Constitution. His ruling, if enacted, would make Florida the 20th state to allow same-sex marriage. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-gay-marriage-ban-overturned-florida-20140717,0,5016096.story

Global Entry is great to get through. But, it is always the secondary stop that gets me when they see how many bags I have.

I have lived some time in 5 of those. LOL I think that may say pretty bad things about me.

Good list. Hawaii is not surprise but very expensive. I have had 10 people at least this year tell me they want to live in #2 Vermont. Everything that goes, loves it.

On expressions, it does vary. I was returning to the USA recently through Atlanta and had a man working in the luggage be my "porter" for helping. He got all my bags for me. When we started to leave customs, they picked me for a through check. This happens to me often. The man stayed with me for over an hour. When the customs guys destroyed my packing, and they did mess things up and just left things on their table, the guy went over to repack everything and zip things up for me. He was so very nice and kind. He was also a bit older than me. So, once through, I gave him a 100 USD tip and he started to cry and hugged me. He was so appreciate. It made his day and he made mine! In Brazil, I always tip big my first day or two at the sauna. The boys hear of this and I always have a slew of boys wanting to spend some time with me in a cabine. In Thailand, I also feel that tipping is good business if you wish to see someone again. I have given OK tips and I have given great tips and they have always seemed appreciated and the guys have always been very sweet. Often, I get a bit more of kiss goodbye as the kiss will say, "goodbye and hello again soon I hope." One guy who worked in a beer bar in Sunnee went with me. He was with me less than 5 min and the chemistry was just not good. So, I gave him a 500 baht goodbye tip. When I returned to that bar, the boys said, "oh Michael. You tipped this boy 500 baht. He must have been really really bad." I laughed as he was and I was not upset with it but they knew for me to tip someone so little that he must have been bad. What is very little money to most of us, is a great deal to a Thai boy and they are often very happy to have money for rent, mama's surgery, or the link. Yes, I know we hear a lot of BS stories but many are also true and the boys have life problems to deal with. Tipping has often gotten me into trouble on the boards as I have been told I tip too much. My response is I always pay the going rate for the area. I'll then tip additionally whatever I feel like doing. My normal response after a short time is, "here is the money for sex.(money handed to boy) Here is some money for taxi. (money handed to boy) Here is money for you to buy a present. (Money handed to boy)." I find that this really does tell them I have given them what was expected and any additional may or may not be given in the future. This has always served me well everything. I do the same for Brazil and the USA and Canada or anywhere I travel and see a money boy. Reactions vary.

Pattaya is pretty slow in the day time. The beaches are fun, especially Jomtien. If you are a bit more adventurous, take a boat to the one of the islands. I have done that many times and had a blast. To make it even more fun, take a few boys with you. The Tiger Farm is a short drive away is a great day spent. If you have not been before, it should be on your list. Massages, massages, massage.

Back years ago, a great musical on Broadway lasted only about 90 shows. It was one of my favorite musicals of all time and I still sing the music when I travel. It was with the amazing Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner. I saw him 2 times and never understood why it closed. It may be back. If so, run, do not walk to see this amazing show! http://m.playbill.com/news/article/193459-Revised-Side-Show-Ends-Kennedy-Center-Run-Is-Broadway-Next

I use to have a big crush on this guy. Glad he is feeling comfortable with his life and who he is! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/12/ian-thorpe-gay_n_5580385.html

I have not missed an episode of Big Brother. EVER. LOL I love the show. This year has been great so far. I loved the "bromance" but do not like Frankie. 2 hot Alpha males are very hot but don't like either of them. I liked the ladies a lot. Does that mean I am a lesbian? I also like the country bumpkin.

This was posted today on Facebook and I love it. While size is not everything, I do have to admit, just looking at the photo, there is a difference.

I have watched this thread and loved it. Firecat has great info and great pics!

I am just glad I didn't go to jail when I was 19. I egged a house or two. I rolled yards. (toilet paper) And, tons of other crazy shit. I thought it was cool. Yes, I know that was immature. But, at 19, you don't always think smart. I forgive Justin. I wish he only had to pay for the damage. The rest is just a load of poo IMHO.

I offered to supervise his community service but the judge said I was not qualified.

Interesting Chart. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/30/passports-map_n_5536914.html?utm_hp_ref=world&ir=World&ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000010

Fantastic. Tell us more about the gay scene there.

Welcome to the site. I hope to visit your country in 2015 and I hope we can meet up!

KT, here is another great article that a friend of mine sent to me. She lives in Colorado and knows I want to move there. http://mic.com/articles/92449/six-months-after-legalizing-marijuana-two-big-things-have-happened-in-colorado

Actually, I was looking for a Cannondale in Bangkok and they didn't have the size I wanted. They were owned by the same people as in Singapore and they said they could have it shipped over. I told them I needed to do a visa run anyway and I flew to Singapore to test the bike and bought the bike. Singapore is a very friendly bike city. Much like Los Angeles. And, on my trip to NYC this year, I noticed more bikes in NYC than I ever have seen in the past. The world is riding more and more.

Your reports are amazing and your photo has improved by leaps and bounds over the years. You have a great eye or perhaps just good models. LOL It seems you are having fun. Enjoy and keep updating us as some of us not in Thailand can live through your eyes.

Back many years ago when they allowed me to do back to back 30 day tourist visas to no end, I visited Singapore about 8 times. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would usually only stay for 3 days but I always had great food and found the city very safe and comfortable. The prices were high but it is an amazing city with so many things to see and do. At the time, I was riding my bicycle a lot and I found there were vast amounts of bike trains in and around Singapore. I felt very safe on a bicycle there. I do not feel that safe in Bangkok. I was always fascinated with the city as I had several friends in NYC from there and they sought Asylum in USA based on being gay and they received it and now are US citizens. Since then, (many many years ago) I had always wanted to visit Singapore and when I did I really enjoyed it.
