problem is , a lot of those decent and hardworking people voted him in the office

To be fair to the waiters at Midnight beer bar, they only know the game of checkers and they have always thought the name was chess. They don't know the actual name is different. Nevertheless, they are pretty good at checkers. We played several games of checkers (using chess board and pieces) for about an hour as we were waiting for some guys in bar to finish work so that we could have supper together. While Team Chess (3 of us) won overall more games of checkers against Team Checkers (4 of them), one Myanmar waiter is so good that he stayed undefeated!

Isnt it true that older guys like me were conditioned much more than we might have been aware by our upbringing? I was brought up in a middle class (do we still use that term) household - parents, three children, one set of grandparents living a few doors away and one uncle and aunt a few more doors away. There was very much an unwritten expectation that the childen would follow the pattern of school, a university degree of sorts, a profession, marriage, kids, grandkids, retirement and easy end of life complemented by a nice gravestone. A life well lived! My siblings followed that route - very happily and neither has yet reached the end of the road. I guess I was the stubborn one. It was not because I thought I might be gay quite early, which is true. I wanted to break free, make my own decisions - both right and wrong. My father never once tried to change my mind as long as I followed the path as far as getting a degree. Thereafter he'd support me in whatever I did. The career advice churned out then was 'stay in your first job for at least four years' to establish your reliability. I gave my good job up after 16 months. I wanted something different and I have always been curious. My parents were rather shocked that I had chosen to move to Hong Kong. But at the end of my first year they came to stay and enjoyed it so much they wanted to return a year later. Sadly my father died and that did not happen. But my mother returned two more times. Working for international companies I quickly realised the world was in reaiity my oyster. I was determined to see and enjoy as much of it as possible, the more so as the companies were paying for a great deal of it! And that is the choice I made. I have had to miss out on a lifetime relationship but that again was a choice. Some suggest short-term relationships cannot make up for that. For my generation and all that gay men have been through I don't necessarily agree. But in the lottery of life, I think I've come out quite well. So I agree with @donJ. You choose your own path but just do your best to enjoy it. Never regret it.

it was Herodotus who first mentioned that rule, we had that in Latin class. Or was it Tacitus ?

have fun searching

True 😄 as we get older ,all the better to live life

Oh for fucks sake.... I couldn't care less about some bloke in America ,never been there ,never will What I do care about is getting African and Asian cock into my old fat daddy ass 👅 🍑

I didn't die. That's enough of a win for this year.

It's reported than donOLD has caused the price of cocaine to drop. Don Jr can now celebrate on a budget.

1. Should I assume that the lower I scroll, the less updated the profiles are? 2. What's the average rate I should expect (cali, pasto, cartagena, medellin)? In comparison, what's the going grindr rate? PS - why are there so many repeat profiles, similar or identical? Thx for ur guidance (-:

The term 'No worries' is a very popular phrase I hear all over...... when I'm travelling.

Been totally geeked on Jakarta after they officially named it the biggest city in the world, how was it?

Never really got around to living that life, something always got in the way, sometimes myself. These days its a relationship, which comes with love & respect, which is better than anything else. But I'm still a curious guy & I enjoy getting a peak into the underbelly & the globetripping that you pervs offer. Thanks again guys

Can we just skip ahead to 2028 when Hopefully, the Trump nightmare will be over ? 3 more years of listening to him say and do crazy, hateful shit and watching him "fall asleep" everywhere is unfathomable to think about ! Rounding up decent, hardworking people, while Pardoning convicted criminals should NOT be the America our tax dollars supports.

How's this one? 😝 Anything clearly giving me away as an extranjero? Hola, buenas, Cómo vas? Me avisas si estas dispo hoy/mañana, y tambien porfa tu altura y tu tarifa. gracias

I did I took a bus from Rio central bus station, pretty comfortable, only 2 -3 hours I remember I booked hotels from bookings - Colonna Galapagos Boutique Hotel Buzios is very pretty, it has like 6 - 8 beaches.

Remember the old saying that a man who doesn't know how to position chess pieces will surely know how to place his stamps in your book.

My last trip was my first post-vaccine, so I think that would be early 2021 so it could be some of my experiences are out-of-date. I stayed in a Hotel Colonia Casa Conde or something to that effect hotel on the first block of the Conde, main street of the Colonial Zone; cheap and cheerful. The neighborhood seems to deteriorate quite quickly heading uphill (north) so that many posters advise an Uber for the 3 blocks to Juan Binbin's (house of boys). I walked but the last block did feel a bit unsafe. Not sure if things go downhill so quickly to the west. I wasn't really that into Manny's guys (yes, they have enormous dicks, but typically lacklustrer body and face, in my opinion; of course now, 4+years later, I imagine he has a whole new stable.) As a result, I was Grinding (granted at about 20 pounds less than today!) and I met quite a few handsome Dominicans who were looking for fun, not money (although there are plenty of the latter too). It may have changed but I would say not to shy away from Grindr. I did meet one paid guy from Grindr: I spoke to a prepago, who contacted me various times but I was not interested until he said that I might be interested in his friend, who was almost too good to be true. But I met them outside the hotel, he was for real, and it was a really great and memorable experience. (I had him stay over on my last night, which sadly was a bore.) I later tried contacting each of them via WhatsApp (I wouldve gone back just for him alone!) but neither of the messages went beyond the single check-mark stage)

Thank you for giving me some guidelines. Now I know where should I start.

considering that in few blocks around Patpong there are perhaps 40- 50 hotels you won't even need to do much walking. Don't forget new and thus rarely yet mentioned Hotei Park Silom ( yes, that the spelling ) on Narathiwas , around the corner from Amara and Easy ( formerly Red ) Planet hotels .

i think they will do better eating cheese than playing chess

Thank you for suggestion I will try that for starters. Just for reminder my entire stay in Thailand will be 2025 Dec 21 to 2026 Feb 13. Its not exactly two months. Also I did not mentioned that I don't want to commit for that long time without checking the hotel room/apartment personally first. For the first week I will stay in Surawong 56 hotel and might try asking them about monthly rates and stay if I like the room. My original plan was in that first week look through websites like rentalhub or airbnb for accommodation near Silom and Lumphini park, contact the owners and then go around that area visiting those places somehow. Maybe I should visit each hotel too and ask them about monthly rates and available rooms? Or maybe in the worst case it will not work out at all because my stay is shorter than 2 months. I don't have any idea.

yes, In fact I know for sure that Baan Silom in soi 3 have long term rates which are not posted on Agoda but I saw the sticker on computer in reception quite a few times. So assume some other hotels may offer similar deals

everything boils down to a price and sometimes it's better to pay for space we like , even if not used for full term paid , rather than rent a digs we don't like but want to save the money.

thank you for cheering us up
