In Columbia there are white cabs for tourists that are very very few, only called by hotels, and a little more expensive than the thousands of little yellow cabs cruising every street. I was warned they sometimes actually rob tourists and dump them so I took white cabs 3 times. The first time was in Bogota going about 3 miles from my hotel to Chapinero. I was charged $15- too much by far but not robbery. The 2nd time I got a white cab from my hotel to go exactly 10 blocks up the same avenue from the hotel. The address was clear and written down. The driver for some reason took me way up on top of Montserret mountain on a narrow road in the woods and I was actually shaking that I was going to be robbed and killed. I begged him to take me back to the hotel after a half hour of senseless driving on top of the mountain which he did and and asked me to pay him 10K COP for the "effort" which I did and walked where I was going. The 3rd white cab was from the Medellin airport which is a 25 mile drive over mountains. The driver was going 50-60 mph on dangerous twisting mountain roads and the fee was 70K COP ($30). I trust the people who tell me that the yellow street cabs are much more dangerous (for tourists especially) hence I want nothing more to do with any cab in Columbia than I have to. I got my hotel In Medellin right in the middle of everything and when I return to Bogota tomorrow I'm learning to use the Transmillenio Rapid Bus from my hotel to Chapinero. Any future trips here I'll always get my hotel in the action area to avoid taxis. I returned to Club Tobi sauna for the 3rd time tonight and had sessions with Adrian and Christain my two favorites (tho Christain doesn't bottom while Adrian is a super power bottom). Both collect muscles the way some people collect stamps and are sweet and cheerful as anyone I've ever met. Even on a slow Monday night there were 4 masseurs working and grateful for the business. I now think that the 60K COP massage is normally as good as the 90K one. After they closed at 10 I walked up to the prepaygo block, 57A, but it only had about 20 people out and about half were prepaygos. Medellin is a very early town. I really think that generally, especially for a visitor, the sauna boys are a much better experience than the street prepaygos. I didn't try any of the prepagos from Grindr and wish I had. But Grindr prepagos would have to be public meeting first.

Hey guys....I have enjoyed reading the various posts and find most of them very interesting...My experience has been extremely different...A little about me before I dive in.... I am in my early 30's and have been going to Rio since 2008. I was a college athlete and currently train regularly and know some Portuguese. I'm also African American.... I go to Rio because I love the culture and enjoy the sauna scene for exactly what it is....no strings fun....While I have been to both 117 and Pointe in Copacabana, I am looking forward to the newer one that has been mentioned in several of the posts... When I go to the saunas, I actually enjoy the steam rooms and the showers and the ambiance including the guys that work there....I have had several of the guys come back to the hotel when they got off work to simply hang out and of course sex happened but I did not pay outside of the sauna....Even the guys I meet on the street (rarely) and especially the guys I have meet at The Week and Club Boy (never paid)...I enjoy their company but don't "fall in love"...I understand what I am to them and they understand what they are to me....Even with my frequency of traveling, I have not found it necessary to exchange e-mails or be "friends" on Facebook....To me the whole gain is the surprise of who I will meet on each trip. I know Brazil as a whole is so exciting because they don't discriminate on clients, simply appreciating the money they receive for the services they render but I do find that the more attractive they find clients, the more accommodating they become probably the same way the more generous you are, they more they are apt to flock to you.... I currently have two trips scheduled for 2015 with another one on the horizon.... Keep up the interesting posts guys....

Like (Orig. to enjoy or a word to compare two things.) 1. A term used by many junior high and high school students for having a crush. 2.(v.) same as "said" or "spoke" 3.In some teenage girls, a word spoken in between each word in a sentence. 1.Hey Jane, I heard that John likes you. Yeah, he really wants you. 2.". . .and so Strongbad was like, 'And the dragon comes in the NIIIIIIIIIGGGGHHT!'" 3. "Yeah, like, i think, like, N Sync is, like, sooooooo, like, cool and, like, dreamy."-some girl Like A meaningless word used in teen-age American speech which may indicate, among other things a gap in thinking or brain functioning; a contemporary equivalent of "uh" or "um". "He was like, about the same age as me, but like, I wasn't sure what he, like, wanted to do with me." like Every third word used in the LA and Orange County areas of Southern California. Like what time is it? Like I have no clue. Like then I was like this and then I was like that and then I was like why are you looking at me like that and then she was like... Like, OMG what are you doing? Like, wtf language is that that they speak. Like, can you like answer like that like question? like In the UK we call this a comma. Used mostly to introduce a qoute, it is also used randomly by irritating teenagers and people who dropped out of school or have never read a book above the literary standard of Guns 'n' Ammo. It can be exchanged with a number of other phrases, including I was all. 1. To introduce a quote: So I was like, "duuuude" and he was all "baaaabe". 2. Randomly: Like, oh my God, that is, like, so wrong.

My visit to Rio particularly stands out because I did not know what all the saunas were about or offered so I made it my mission to visit each to see which ones offered the best guys and which ones are just standards saunas/spas. As has been posted before on numerous forums, the scene in Rio is a true saunas scene....I got to 117 around 5 in the afternoon on a Wednesday before it got crowded and was bombarded with sexy guys in every hue and shape, 117 is known for the beefier, muscular guy and they have a great variety... That alone is one of the reasons I travel to Rio often versus other countries...the variety...you get every ethnic mixed from blond surfer types to green eyed mulattoes down to dark hued guys who could easily be from Atlanta, except for the whole only speaking Portuguese thing.... While I changed out of my street clothes, I was a approached by a few guys who basically wanted to show me what they were working with....they asked if I speak Portuguese and I replied back, Um pouco... After changing into the towel and flip flops I was offered, I decided to go into the shower and the saunas....That is where you can get a pretty amazing show from the guys who are vying for your attention...Brazilian guys ARE NOT shy....After getting wet in the shower, I went into the steam room and was joined by two guys who promptly took their towels off and started playing with their dicks.... I asked them both if they were A parte superior ou inferior, basically if they top or bottom and of course they both replied back tops.... After the saunas scene got boring, I decided to go upstairs and discovered the little video arcade room....as soon as I stepped, I was amazed again how many guys simply came in and started pumping away.... After walking around, I finally decided who I wanted to try first....I think my first time at 117, I had 3 different sessions BEFORE heading over to Pointe in Copacabana.... More to come....

and Medellin is no more dangerous than other places on the wrong side of town. If I had known to stay on the right side of the cathedral it wouldn't have happened. And all that happened both times is drunk thugs grabbed me and threatened me and I had to give them a couple dollars to leave me alone. I was scared they were going to assault me and steal my money. It could have been much worse in other cities. I always carry a roll of 5-8 50 COP bills with 10's rolled around them in my pocket, 4 or 5 extra 50's hidden under the insole of my shoes, a photocopy of my passport, and never carry my wallet or cellphone. (On the way back from Club Tobi I'm carrying a lot less money).

Caution when bringing in content from an alien ecosystem... Nicaragua Canal Project Could Bring Yellow-Bellied Sea Snakes Into Caribbean By John B. Virata A canal project that connects the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea via Lake Nicaragua and was recently approved by the government of Nicaragua could provide a waterway for the yellow-bellied sea snake (Pelamis platura) to travel into Lake Nicaragua as well as into the Caribbean Sea, where there are no sea snakes. The arrival of the sea snake and other organisms into Lake Nicaragua and into the Caribbean could have potentially detrimental effects to their respective ecosystems, according to scientists. "Like any invasive species, it is often difficult to predict the impact, John Murphy, herpetologist and research associate at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago told Discovery News. "But, the freshwater fish of the lake would be naïve to the snakes and some could be extirpated. Murphy told Discovery News that although Pelamis platura could survive in the lake, the snake has a slow reproduction rate (one to three offspring in a clutch at a time), which would limit its capability to dominate the lake. A seemingly larger concern would be a potential pathway for the snake to the Caribbean Sea, which has no native sea snakes. The canal would also bring sea water into the lake that could then change its pH and temperature, possibly disrupting the flora and fauna that reside in the lake, and the water coming out of the lake and into the Caribbean Sea could have a negative effect on Nicaragua's coastal mangroves forests, an area in which Hawksbill sea turtles live and forage. http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Snakes/Wild-Snakes/Nicaragua-Canal-Project-Could-Bring-Yellow-Bellied-Sea-Snakes-Into-Caribbean/

Ok guys since i started the question here is what i did. I have unlocked iPhone from at&t i owned it and if u are not fully paid with your phone you wont be able to unlock it. You can request unlock via online. If you are on difff carrier google it how to unlock. I am in Rio right now, i went to Rio Sul Mall R15 by taxi at most. mall have lots of carriers to choose from. I chose Vivo since they have less customers to wait than claro or Oi. I asked for prepago sim card, it costs R10, then asked for plan that includes internet, the lowest is 250MB for R25. Total is R35, not bad am not planning to surf, only to use the google translate so it would be easy to interact with garotos. Turn off your phone before u insert sim card then power back on. When u r in the mall dont connect to their wifi use your vivo to test google translate, this is downloadabel app. When you use it, You dont even have to type if u wish, you can click on microphone and start saying the phrase and it will translate for u, not on a noisy environment. Ok i will get ready to checkout heading to SP Lagoa! TTYL

Mixing again Dear ??????? Find a Hobby....... You people are Ridiculous and the whole Topic is BORING !

The guys on F4F, CB, C4 etc are all from Medellin and Cali. The hottest are from Cali. (believe me I asked!) None from Bogota. I don't speak any Spanish. I leave to go back to Bogota for 2 more days in the morning and if anyone has any suggestions there I'd appreciate them. My first couple days there were fruitless. Evidently Delta is starting daily non-stop service to Medellin and Cartagenia from Atlanta. They already have flights to Bogota. An open-jaw would be good to see both Medellin & Bogota or Cartagenia as one-ways between them are only @ $85.

I once met Henrique in the 117 video room - always my favorite room in the sauna. It is generally full of guys trying to prove which one deserves to be hired - based on hardness, length, the sound their cock slapping their open hand makes. If you sit down quietly in a corner of the room, inevitably they come to you, one at a time. They will often pull your hand onto their unit, it is always warm, always soft, and almost always rock solid. If it isn't they promise it will be and that it will be bigger still. I sometimes would laugh, as most of them insist they are tops only, you hesitate to argue with them because even if you win the argument, it may not be the easiest time up in the room if they are not accustomed or interested in bottoming. And going up to the room with one of these man-shaped horses is also daunting to imagine.I had to laugh. There I was, some strange young man's smile in my face, his dick in my hand, my fingers barely able to circle the damn thing. "it will feel good," he says. "It will hurt," I reply. I think I am the more reasonable one. "No, we'll go slow (devagar). it will feel good," they promise. Henrique was this way. I had already bottomed once that night so I thought it might be possible. But this is not something you would enter into lightly. It felt heavy, thick, like some dildo at an adult store that you would NEVER buy because it is ridiculously too big. But unlike a dildo it was live.The pictures in the link below lack a proper point of reference as he is about 240lbs and at least 6' tall. His dick is at least 9" and who knows how big a round. All I know is I felt it for two full weeks after. He took my hand, wrapped it around his dick, though my fingers did not close, and stroked himslef with it. It was the most mechanical and yet somehow one of the most memorable programas ever for me. He could not have cared less about me. Once upstairs, he pushed my face into his huge tits and had me lick his nipples. This excited him. When he was ready, he told me to get on all four. True to his word, he took it slow, but there was no going in easy. I am not into fisting or other more extreme games, but I imagine this is what it must feel like. stretched, open, hurting but never wanting it to stop. This was several years back, before he had surgery to his liver which left a noticeable scar down his belly. His steroid use has been aggressive to say the least. I doubt I would seek him out now, but I agree with Badboy, you never know what you will find. http://feiradeboys.blogspot.ae/2013/10/comecando-com-toda-forca-henrique-do.html?zx=23f7659fd1970476

I suppose it wouldn't "shock" anyone if MsAnn "likes" this.

Ran into this and couldn't resist....classic.

"Most of the "nice" hotels are in Estadio or Poblanbo, which are over 3 miles out and yellow street cabs are not super safe in Columbia for tourists. English is non-existant." First, thanks for all of the great information. On the comment on the cabs, is it just that they potentially will overcharge you or other issues?

Very interesting posts! Thank you. I, too, have been considering Colombia. But, I must say getting robbed twice makes me wonder about Medellin. Did you have any problem with altitude sickness in Bogota? Did you consider Cartagenia?

A story goes that Joao Goulart, president in the early 60's, was much revered in a particular Brazilian city for whom he had built a bridge over the river (although everyone knew he had stolen 90% of the money appropriated for the project). Asked why such a scoundrel was so beloved, the locals invariably responded that the two previous presidents had pocketed all the bridge money and neglected to build the bridge. From all I've read, I suspect that the real gripe most Brazilians have with their political class is that they aren't delivering on essential public services and are running the economy into the ground. World wide, at a certain stage in development, folks wading in sewage start to question where all the money for sewer pipes has been going.

Ax- Thanks for knowing the difference between piqued and peaked. Best regards, RA1

I, too, want to thank you for your most helpful report. After seeing the fabulous guys on "Flirt for Free" who have always stated that they were from Colombia when I asked them from where do they hail, this has been one place which has always piqued my interest. Also, another poster has written some good reports after he'd visited, too, but he speaks Spanish. Do you speak any Espanol and are perhaps fluent. I know you mentioned about the taxi drivers. I await your pending addition once you travel and enjoy Bogota. Again, thanks man!

This was my first time in Columbia and I did my research just googleing. I didn't have a guide although I'm sure one would have been better. When you google certain terms the usual sites don't offer much except lists of places- some out-dated. The Gay Guia Columbia, which is very good on Bogota, is almost empty on Medellin. A site called Gay Gringo has the review of Barbcolus Sauna and Club Tobi that implies BS is great while Tobi is just for posseurs with no "masseurs"----wrong. A site called Columbia Express has a story on the best (and worst) of gay Medellin which is otherwise a great story but is the one that said Calle 57A west of the cathedral is where the prepagos are---that's why I went there and got robbed twice. In fact 57A east of the catherdal, where the prepaygo bars are, is the intersection of Medellin's main street Oriental so it's completely safe. Funny how one little mistake like that can make such a difference in safety. Researching, most of the many saunas have websites and list their rates, including for massage. One in Bogota, which I'll go to, actually has photos of it's masseurs. The universal slang for garotos in Columbia is "Prepaygos", which is technically the term for prepaid telephone service. A variation on rentboy. Thankfully Grindr at least isn't hip to that slang yet.

You wouldn't want them smashed, would you? Best regards, RA1
