The survey covers 214 cities across five continents and measures the comparative cost of over 200 items in each location, including housing, transport, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment. New York is used as the base city for the index and all cities are compared against New York. The cost of housing – often the biggest expense for expats - plays an important part in determining where cities are ranked. http://www.guardian....ty-costs-living

Hell no. I was not giggling at you. I read your post on another thread and laughed that someone would be so obsessed with writing about you or anyone. I have had many obsessed with me. I don't get that either. But, you are right, it is what it is. You took my post in a way that it was not meant.

It is OK. That is why I said above it is not compatible with every browser and we are working on it. Also, when you change anything on the forum, it takes hours more programming time. It is not simple to do but we are getting it done. Considering we only got the request a few days ago, give us a little time. It is coming.

We have have an entrance via the Front Page of the site that says: Come in without popups for those that hate the One popup on that page. We are working on the tabs and you will see a little red X that removes them now. But, it is not compatible with every browser today and we are working on it.

I know this thread is now locked but I wanted to say that when I read this, I have to admit I found this to be one of the funniest posts I have ever seen on the Internet. Thank you Lucky for starting my day off on a spirited note!

How would you suggest we make it very simple?

It is online dating / profiles / message board / guide. It is a work in progress. Thanks to all who suggested advertising options. I have been in contact with most of the ones suggested and we are waiting on a response.

My start page is a little odd. But, I have high hopes! http://www.usamega.com/

He does have a lust for live and sex. I remember having him in my hotel and we had had 2 three ways that day. I had a boy over for me. I was working on the computer and got lost in the Internet and forgot time. I walked into the bedroom to see him with the boy bent over the bed and furiously fucking him. I was livid as that was supposed to be my ass. So, when they finished, I took the boy into the bathroom to shower and I fucked him there. Soon after the shower started he walked in and got into the shower as well and wanted another piece of ass. I am the sharing type but insisted on both getting fucked. It was hot to say the least and this video brought back some great memories. Thanks. Lurker!

I had a boy special over last night and let him sleep over. We went to bed at 1AM. It is now almost 12 hours later and he is still sound asleep. The BF is gone for the day but will be back early afternoon. I would hate for him to find Goldilocks sleeping in his bed. I even went to the Marriott this AM and ate breakfast and went swimming. He is still asleep. When you have sleep overs, do you have trouble having the to get out of bed?

I had friends in Bangkok this week and they wanted to come to Pattaya. I suggested the Marriott. They made a reservation and came down last night. They are a family with 2 kids. I had dinner with them last night and breakfast this AM and played with them at the pool at the Marriott. The Marriott was booked over the weekend. They could not get reservations on Sunday night and I called in a favor. When I went this AM for breakfast, the place was standing room only. EVERY table in their large dining room was full. At over 700 baht per head (unless included in your room), this is not a cheap place to eat. We had to wait 10 minutes for a table. The food was great. We then headed to the pool which was also getting crowded. They just came from Bangkok where they said the hotel they were in was also full and they were in one of the most expensive hotels in Chiang Mai for 4 days for the kids to go Elephant treking and that hotel was full. The vast majority of people at breakfast this AM were families and predominately Asian. Is this the end of Sin City? Is a trend to family's going to take over Pattaya? Is this the real reason for the bar clean ups and raids?

He was one of my favorites from Rio. Tell me more about the Paragonya Sauna. Is it like the one in Barcelona? He told me he was in Zurich but I thought he had a sugar daddy. Here are some pics from the old days. We spent several nights at Carnival one year and at Scala Gay. He is a blast everywhere you take him.

Well, I spent the day trying to find the way to get stats. Here they are to date for July and August. Remember, this for only for August to this date and we still have 25 percent of the month to go.

Brasilia is considered one of the world’s most modern cities – with very good reason. Unlike most modern metropolises, Brasilia is less than 50 years old. The first residents began moving into this planned community in 1960 – and the city has simply kept growing since. Before Brasilia spread its wings, Rio de Janeiro was the capital city of Brazil. But in the 1950s President Juscelino Kubitschek ordered the government to build a new capital – and so the city was born. One important warning if you are into partying hard on your vacation – Brasilia has almost no night life at all. In fact, in a continent full of various American icons, Brasilia has only one McDonald’s and the streets are virtually empty at night. Because the city was planned as a serious national capital – and an antidote to the fast times of Rio de Janeiro and Saul Paolo there was not a lot of thought put into where to build bars, restaurants or clubs. That said, Brasilia can be fun for a short excursion. There are wonderful examples of beautiful modern architecture, alternative religions abound and crime is almost non existent. Brasilia is not a great place for a long term stay – but it can be a great break if you have been partying hard for a long time and want to rest your body before the next round of clubbing in one of the more party friendly cities throughout Brazil. It took 41 months to plan and build Brasilia – which was originally designed for roughly 500,000 residents. The city proved more popular than expected, however, and today more than 2 million people call Brasilia their home. The result is one of the most modern cities in the world – and one of the few where less than half the population was born there. Slightly higher than 40 percent of the population moved to Brasilia from other less wealthy sections of Brazil and South America. This is good news for vacationers and travelers alike – because it means that the local population is used to constantly welcoming new people to Brasilia – after all most of the people you meet were recently new comers themselves. While you are not likely to find a plethora of gay bars or clubs in Brasilia, the fact that almost the entire population is new to the area means that there is a high level of tolerance for gay and lesbian travelers. You won’t have to worry about getting gay bashed in Brasilia – provided you can keep from getting bored or stir-crazy. The bad news is that because Brasilia grew so quickly the government was not able to build as much of an infrastructure as the city needs. In other words public transportation is very crowded and the roads are almost always in some state of perpetual traffic jam. Brasilia is also one of the most educated cities in South America. Unlike many Third World cites that are plagued by illiteracy and the poverty that accompanies it, almost 94 percent of the Brasilia population can read and write. This has helped them support a growing arts and culture program, generate good jobs and sustain long term economic growth. As the city has grown, housing has become a problem. The city is still expanding but construction can not possible keep up with how fast Brasilia is expanding. While still reasonable by American standards, housing prices are higher in Brasilia than just about any place else in South America. That means if you are planning to move to South America instead of just travel through, Brasilia will be one of the most expensive places for you to buy a house or condo. On the other hand, Brasilia is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Unlike cities that have grown up naturally, Brasilia was planned with meticulous care. There are many beautiful parks. Air pollution is almost non existent and the buildings are literally stunning. Lucio Costa was given the job in the 1950s to make Brasilia a reality through the Plano Piloto. He ended up designing a city plan in the shape of a butterfly that was broken down into many different types of architectural and commercial zones – to make living in Brasilia as comfortable as possible. Despite his butterfly intentions, most modern Brasilia residents describe their city which was eventually architecturally designed by Oscar Niemeyer as looking like an airplane – with the main government buildings in the “fuselage” and the rest of the city radiating out from the wings. If you are interested in mysticism or alternative religions, Brasilia may be your favorite tourist destination in the world. When the city was being designed the government offered land to any “spiritual group” that applied and could prove even minimum membership rates. The result is that while the rest of South America is staunchly Catholic, Brasilia is home to dozens and dozens of new age and old school religious sects. Many of these groups think that the creation of Brasilia is the dawn of the new age where people will live together in harmony. Other groups consider Brasilia to be the new Atlantis or the modern reconstruction of Ancient Egypt. These groups are helped by a prophecy given to a Brazilian monk in 1883. That monk was told by god that, “a grand civilization will appear, a Promised Land flowing with milk and honey." Many relgious groups now believe that Brasilia is that civilization. This has spawned of the most intersting tourist sites in Brasilia – the Legion of Goodwill Temple. This structure is a seven story, seven sided pyramid topped by a giant crystal. Another amusing religious tourist attraction is the Valley of the Dawn. Vistors here can see religous women wearing cone hats, purple dresses, veils and sliber tiaras. The biggest complaint people have over the city that Niemeyer eventually created is that while many of the buildings are stunning – many are not particularly functional. In an attempt to make a capital city that would a showcase to the rest of the world, Niemeyer was much more concerned with erecting beautiful buildings than he was in how people would actually live, work and build lives with their families in his new city. One of the most spectacular places to visit is the Television Tower in the center of the fuselage. From the top of this gorgeous tower you can see spectacular views of Brasilia and the satellite cites that have spawned around its original construction. One of the problems with the original city design is that the 1950s were the age of the automobile – and the city planners assumed that people would want to drive everywhere. As such, they did not put a lot of thought to how pedestrians might get from place to place in Brasilia. For that reason, many of the sites and places you will want to go to will be located very far away from each other. Even with a car the traffic can make going from Point A to Point B a pain in the ass – so we recommend using the new underground train system to get you from place to place. Be warned however that this subway system is still under construction and will not be able to take you everywhere. Simply be patient and allow a lot of time to make any appointments you may have. As a tourist, Brasilia will be one of the safest places you will ever visit. Housing prices have caused most of the poor to flee the city to the outlying districts and muggings, break in and thefts occur at a much lower rate than in other South American cities where poor people live near the city centers. One of the more popular tourist sites is the Brasilia Zoo, located near the airport. It is filled with interesting examples of wildlife native to the region. For people watching the best place to go is the 'Parque da Cidade', which is a gigantic central park filled with cute guys running, cycling, jogging and playing various games. The park is a real treat if you have gotten tired of the urban landscape and travelling to and fro in the subway system. If you like to dance, you will want to be one of the thousands of people who flock every year to the Brasilia Music Festival. Held in early September, this festival brings some of the most talented hip hop and techno musicians and DJs in the world together to play for the people who want to get out and shake their asses to the beat. Of course, given that the rest of the year Brasilia is a sleepy city, you might want to plan on catching a quick flight to Rio as soon as the festival is over. If you are able to rent a car, you can have a great sight seeing adventure simply by driving out to the outlying areas and seeing how people live away from the city. Unlike other cities, it is the suburbs where people tend to spread their wings at night and have fun. If you are patient and keep your eyes open you will find bars and clubs in the towns and villages a few kilometers outside of town. While Brasilia is a not a 24 hour party town, like many other Brazilian cities, you can see interesting sites and pass a few days here easily. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break during your vacation – and Brasilia is the perfect place.

If you would get down to Rio, we might be taking something else right out of your mouth!

This is very true if you fly coach. If you are like me and want a business class ticket, the prices keep going on. The last rate I paid with Delta was 3,000 for a full coach fare that I could use a certificate to upgrade to Business. This is my preferred way to travel and I use to get this same ticket for about 1700. It keeps going on. The highest I have paid is 3700. That rate caused me to check on the LA to Bangkok non stop from Thai Airways which is fantastic. I love the plane and the no stops. The Premium Economy is only a few hundred more than the coach and totally worth it. I don't think anyone in this tread said someone was attracted to anyone who looks 12. I think Firecat was stating that Thais look younger than they are. My boyfriend of many years looks the same today as when I met him. He has not aged at all. I do not find anything wrong with someone liking the looks of a twink or an 18 year old. The test is if they are or should be comfortable walking down the street with someone. All of my BF experiences in Thailand have passed that test over and over. None of them look underage. All are over 18 with ID's to match. I also would never take anyone from a bar that I did not feel comfortable walking down the street with. I know that is not the case for everyone. Again, I think your opinion is just that. I disagree with it. I do not see Pattaya as the city you think it is. I don't see the young boys that you did. I have not had your experiences with these people. And, likewise, you have not had mine. In both case, we seem to both stand by what we believe. I still say that Pattaya is not a haven for people who like under 12 year olds. I have NEVER seen that. I have seen 16 and 17 year old in the past. But, that is not the scene you were describing. And, of recent dates, I have not see those ages in the bars or on the streets. I will not argue with you. You have your thoughts about Pattaya. I appreciate your perspective. I just don't agree with it (at least for the past year). I don't think he was directing that at you as much as to most that travels to Pattaya. Having known Firecat for a long time, I can say without hesitation that his tastes are for those in the 20's.

I have been with one of these guys. But, I thought they were at 117 when I saw him. I loved the tats.

I love Italian food. I have tried many places in Pattaya and most are OK to eat at. Few of them are exceptional. Max is a hotel / restaurant. They have a place right off of Soi Post Office in Pattaya. The food is good. The prices are reasonable. I ate the Lasagna and my friend had the Seafood Pasta. We both enjoyed our food. The plates were around 250 baht each. I also had the Caramel Creme. It was mediocre at best. It is hard to find good deserts in Pattaya. I did like our main courses and I did like the Shrimp Cocktail. The service was good and we had the constant attention of our waiter. Max is a place I will go back again. http://www.mrmaxservice.com/

I had a user tell me they hate coming into the site with the popup on the front of the site. While I don't think this is a distraction to many it may be to some. So, I have asked that the programmers build a entrance that will allow users to bypass this popup by scrolling down a bit more and entering the site a different way. Some have said the tabs on the left side are annoying. Personally, I like them as do many with larger screens. But, I have asked the programmers to try to find a way to fix them and we are working on it. We work hard to try to make the site as user friendly as possible. If you see in our comments section of the forum, if you have problems, please let us know. We do try our best to accommodate users and make them as comfortable as possible. We appreciate all your support and patronage. Keep your suggestions coming!

I do understand your reaction. I have never seen what you describe. I stayed at the Marriott and never had anything close to that seen anywhere I have been and I would have been disgusted as well. 2 years is a long time and from my experience the city is MUCH cleaned up at this point. That does not mean it will stay that way. But, it is now catering to family tourists and the things you mention, I don't see. The new mall is the largest mall on any ocean front property in Asia. A new Holiday Inn. A new Hilton this year. A new Sheraton. The list can go on. With all those places now calling Pattaya home, there is little of the old Pattaya you experienced left. As I said, I don't discount what you saw. I simply say I don't see it now.

Danilo is one of my best finds in Brazil. I met him on Copa many years ago and he was with a BF. His English was so good and he was a real gay boy and I got him a job with some friends as a guide and his business took off. His business has taken off so much that he now does work for different embassy's, etc. He is really busy. Sorry he flaked. I have seen him on about every trip I make to Brazil. I find him a great guide and a wonderful person. That said, young gay boys flake. sucks when it happens to you, I know. Sao Paulo is one of the greatest gay cities on earth. Simply amazing!
