I have been wanting to go to both Colombia and to Cuba!

I'm thinking of heading to Colombia based on these threads.

Can't take the heat. Rand Paul ends Q&A when pressed on GOP voters' views on race and policing Republican presidential candidate walks out of Guardian interview in third testy exchange with media this week as rocky start to campaign continues http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/apr/10/rand-paul-walks-out-live-interview

OK, I finished Bogota and ready for the report. I spent 3 days here before 5 in Medellin and now 2 days back before going home. I felt a duty to report on this little-known place and was determined to crack it's hard-to-penetrate shell. From worst to best: Neighborhoods: TEUSAQUILLO-- Just above downtown, from about 35th to 50th Calle, a trendy fashionable neighborhood with embassies and several universities. SAUNAS: CLUB BALTIMORE SAUNA Actually in a hotel (the Maria Isabel). Gets lots of mentions. That doesn't mean it's good. I went in and the entrance was outrageous- like $60 but I was assured it was worth it because they had A (as in one) masseur who was standing in front of me- he was a 2 at best and I did a u-turn. CASA ROMANO SAUNA Has very titallating ads promising sex shows once a week and strippers once a week. In an old mansion next to the Israeli embassy. I went, I paid to get in, and was introduced to the single masseur they had; he looked like a twin of the 2 I was introduced to at Club Baltimore. Two saunas down quick. COMPLICES SAUNA Also deceptively titalating ads. Just because someone's good at html doesn't mean they're also attractive. Not sure this place even has a masseur but no one of the few people I saw there was better than the ones I shunned already. 3 down quick. CHAPERINO- (Known locally as Chapigayo)- The vast GayBorHood of Bogota. From about 50th to 70th Calles. Bogota has about 9 million people and Chapinero has maybe a quarter million. The south side toward 50th is more run down but safe while the north side bordering the "Financial District" has the Hilton and Marriott. The center part around the Theatron nightclub on 58th is so totally gay that straights seem out of place. Dozens of gay bars and nightclubs and saunas and shops from one end to the other. One of those areas where you can sit and just watch the parade of trendy attractive young urban gays (and drool). STARBOYS Not a sauna but a video club (there are several) listed as having masseurs. It doesn't. Small booths with glory holes were all empty although the owner or manager was a really pleasant guy who smiles and chats machine-gun like sweetly even though he knows you don't speak Spanish. SAUNAS: MEDITERRANEO SAUNA- Also very tempting ads. This place didn't just disappoint but totally creeped me out. You're not allowed to wear towels or briefs; you have to be totally nude. You're given a washcloth and told to hold it over your privates. Tiny building with cheap rates; 15K COP admission, 30K 30-minute massages. I'd pay a lot more to get out if I were trapped in. One of the masseurs was a decent young black guy, there was a cute young towel boy, and there was a cute young guy in the jacuzzi with someone but I never got close. The other masseur I met, and who approached me several times, was terribly out of shape, maybe 35, hairy and too pushy. Probably worked at the St. Moritz when he was 25. I wanted to wait and see if there were other masseurs with clients but a customer with really bad teeth, a really bad comb-over, and a face out of Deliverence kept following me and groping. Through the washcloth. An evening here would not have turned out well. Go forewarned. DAGOAS SAUNA I didn't even go in. I approached the desk and got a bad feel plus I had already had sex twice in 2 hours and was tired. It's in the old address of St. Moritz Sauna and that's how I stumbled on it. It advertises entrance plus 30 minute massage for 45K. Might be wonderful. I doubt it. What is wonderful is the blond security guard outside the gay bar next door. Why I went by three times but no contact. BABYLON SAUNA Where the financial district starts. Highly recommended by many people. Great ad. Entrance was 20K COP but it's published massage rates are very reasonable. It's only open from 3pm until 9:30pm (most of the saunas are only open from 1 until 10pm). Ad has photos of 3 masseurs, I only saw 2 of them, not the white one. All the staff and all masseurs are Amero-Indian and very stocic. Not a word. Very nice facilities and one of the half dozen masseurs really appealed to me- a guy with the body of an American football player. Pure beef. Tights like tree trunks. But he kept texting on a cheap old cellphone the whole time I was there and never looked up. Maybe I should have made a move. I didn't. SAINT MORITZ SAUNA Finally ! Gay El Dorado. At least a half-dozen masseurs. All white (as opposed to Babylon's all native). The friendly towel boy checking you in is cute as a button. The shy 18-yr old manning the bar is one of the cutest guys I've ever seen but doesn't massage. From his expensive braces and expensive designer t-shirt I'd say he's kept well by someone, probably the owner, but will be turned out to massage in a year or so. As soon as I get through the door I'm approached by a tall masseur with big pectorals with an offer for total release massage for 40K. Hairy guy with short hair who looks like the photo to the right on boytoy. Once my eyes go down I notice he's not exactly a six-pack tummy. Very slight lovehandles. Big nipples. Then another guy just like him approaches. Both 25-30 and hairy and very pectorally. Then I notice two more like them. Finally I meet with a shorter guy with no body hair, a nice tatoo of an angel wing, totally smooth skin, the firmest butt I've ever seen, a six pack and hard pectorals and biceps. He wants 150K COP for "Complete", 70K for Basic. That's high for Columbia. What I learn the hard way is St Moritz does not have published rates like every other sauna and you're dealing directly with the masseaur who gets 100% directly from you. Deal with masseurs at St Moritz the way you would with prepagos in negotiations. I talk him down to 120K COP for "Complete" but later learn that doesn't include (from him) any oral other than kissing and certainly no anal. Still it was well worth $48 US for the lengthy hand-job and French kissing from such a stunner. He dresses immediately to go out as I guess he's made a lot of money for him. I go to shower. In spite of St Mortiz being big and very very nice I discover the shower is tiny and has only tepid water on hot. I go out and joke about it to the shy perfect 18 yr old bartender. He tells me I should have gone to a shower upstairs. I hit on him again. He considers it a compliment and grins huge but explains, no, he doesn't. Ever. His smile alone is enough. If I were here longer I would concentrate on Grindr- I've gotten 49 messages in 2 days in spite of having no photo- just "Daddy" as a name and "visiting from USA" in description. Also I would work the cute bellhop in my hotel who's winking at me now on my last day, and I'd work the streets in Chapigayo. And I'd return to Babylon and St. Moritz a lot, and check out some of the other couple dozen saunas and Theatron. THEATRON I didn't go. It's not open Monday or Tuesday and opens at 9 or 10 other days. It costs $13 US admission including unlimited volka drinks but I don't drink. Theatron is the largest gay nightclub in South America. In an old theater building it has 10 bars. Everyone on CB in Columbia I asked and everyone in Medellin I asked for suggestions just said all I need to do is go to Theatron- anything I want I'll find at Theatron. Anything. My flight's at 9am and I'm off to bed. Ciao Columbia.

Pretty much a foregone conclusion after his attorney admitted he participated. Here is my question: The defense attorney's tack is to claim that Tsaraev was unduly under the influence of his radicalized brother. How is that different from, I was just following orders? Best regards, RA1

That Better Be My CLIENT...... I've been waiting 2 Hours.... Better not be another "Stand-UP" ?

A bad case of fissures plagued Bill So he figured he'd charge for the thrill Folks would travel for miles Just to look at his piles And he watched as the cash filled the till

Of course he did and then piled on. Best regards, RA1

Because their racial makeup usually includes Inca, Columbians usually don't have much body hair and are fascinated with men with body hair. Don't manscape for a week before going. Going on any of the internet sex chat sites you can see a lot of Columbians in rooms and chat with them. Their shows usually have 2-3 having sex with each other.

AS- You cannot go without me. So, let us plot together, Best regards, RA1

Another unjoke.

Yes, but isn't it amazing sometimes how rapidly this happens? Best regards, RA1

IMHO, he should be given life without parole and given a cell with a big dick thug. Oh, shit, that is my fantasy. I do hope they give him life and not death.

Excellent report. Thank you. Firecat use to go to Colombia a lot but has not been in recent years. When I saw the photos he took of the boys, it made me really want to go and visit. Now, you have given me even more to desire. Thank you for the great report.

Both versions (English and German) are great. The plot involves an older man infatuated with a younger stage singer. That scenario could fit some of the members of this forum, if the gender were changed on the younger stage singer. I had forgotten that I had read that both versions were made at the same time. The English version was not released until a few years after the German version's success. The films were made in 1929 but the German version was released in 1930 and the English followed later. Oh, "I'm ready for mein Großaufnahme, Herr Sternberg" comes from the old film, "Sunset Boulevard" starring Gloria Swanson and William Holden and Eric Von Stroheim. What a splendid movie that was. Ja Wohl.

Saw The Blue Angel on TV a few months ago and was surprised to learn that they shot the German and English versions concurrently. I think it was also Germany's first major sound film. I guess while they had everything in place, it didn't take that much longer to reshoot the scene in English. As long as they kept track of which version they were doing. I'm ready for mein Großaufnahme, Herr Sternberg

Speaking of old songs - how about this one that has some funny words. Sung by Marlene Dietrich. Originally sung in German in an old black and while German movie called Blau Engel. The film did so well, it was redone in English starring the same - Marlene Dietrich - The English title was called Blue Angel. How "butch" Marlene sounds in this song: https://twitter.com/erisis/status/451427543271227392

The only thing I can think of is that his attorney determined that it was impossible to get a not guilty verdict and by using the strategy that he did he was at most hoping that at least one person would take it as a reason to vote against conviction, leading to a hung jury and then a possible plea bargain. Or in the worst case, he was laying the foundation that his client, once convicted, should not be executed because of the undue influence of his brother. He is hoping the jurors will perceive him as a lackey and therefore should get life but shouldn't be put to death. I will be very surprised is the jury does not come back to say to put him to death.

Hi Guys am in Rio didnt realized i booked my ticket in advance on a Good Friday! Arrived on Friday but there were still many boys in 117 and some clients. On Saturday there were as much many boys as clients but after 7 there were more boys. On Friday I had this tall muscular tan guy started talking to me and he is on garotolandia.com. I asked him if he will do 3somes and he said yes and he knows someone there to do it with him. I think he is bi. A carioca cop during the day he said hmmmm. The moreno cop that i did not get first is way better performer than the escort he will run down his tongue behind you. I asked them to make out and start kissing. The escort wanted to fuck him i said no I will !! He has nice body and butt and very clean. So at the end it was pleasurable being sandwiched by two guys feeeling their bodies in my front and back. Awesome first nite. And my Saturday nite I loved the guy i got, speak little bit of english because he is going to London this June invited by gay business owner and will work there as garoto too ! He said he is part time stripper omg his body is mscular with six pack! Nice ass and legs he is very good kisser and...... He is willing to bottom for me he said he stopped doing progrmma for two yrs so he said he is tight and boy he was sooo tight. He is back on programa again he said.
