I think some of my good luck comes from spending so much time here now. I've been here 3 months this year. Boys recognize you being around. After you have taken boys off, they talk. They know if your a good guy or not. Instead of looking at you, they start talking to you. I'm also finding more boys are speaking better English. This is huge because it makes it easier to go out to lunch or dinner and hang out and do stuff without just staring at each other. I've been finding that if you go to a club and pick a boy, take him home, you just have sex. If you get to spend a little time with the boy and sex isn't the first word, the sex is much better. If your here for a week or two, you have to go for it. When you have a month or two, you can get to know somebody. Works out better for everybody. Of course I've had TotallyOz as a role model In the "it's a small world" category . For the 2 years I have been staying in this apt, I have never had to share the pool with anybody on weekdays till today. A guy showed up and we exchanged pleasantries . He is Thai but speaks fluent English. Turns out he lives in the condo across the hall from me. We started talking and it seems he and his partner own this condo in Bangkok, but also live in San Francisco. They own a house and business there. I lived in SF for over 30 years till I just retired. They don't live all that far from where I did. Time to call it a night, tomorrow could be a big day......

Wednesday afternoon we got a rainy, thunderstorm filled couple of hours. Late afternoon it let up and being in the apt all day, a massage was on the horizon. I sent a text to my friend that works at Hero Massage. Said he would be there. I'm on my way. Got there about 6pm. My friend was finishing a massage but I figured I would wait and talk to him and hope he wasn't to tired. While waiting I got to sit and watch all the boys thru the glass. I counted as many as 42 and all the rooms were filled, so had to be well over 50 boys working. They don't know I'm waiting so they are all trying to show me their best side. Again as with my last trip, this is the best collection of boys I have ever seen in one place. There wasn't a boy there I wouldn't be happy with. The choice is amazing. I saw this one boy that I really liked. Probably 21 or so, taller than average Thai. Super cute. I asked if he was gay and told yes, and very versatile and just started working there. My friend shows up and says he is up for massage, not tired. Off we go. I've been with him several times and know what to expect. His massage is average, his playtime is way above average. Turns out I got pretty good massage and was already in the mood for playtime after watching the boys in the pen. He is in charge with playtime activities. I'm not top/bottom anymore so he takes over with 2 aggressive hands and an overly aggressive mouth. When he got off, I asked him if he got off in the massage he did previously. He said yes, no problem, he can do it 4 or 5 times a day. Remember those days....the kid is a sex machine. Just happy to be one of his outlets. I asked if he knew the new boy. He said a little. I said he would be perfect for a vip room (much larger room) 3-way. My friend said, sure, he's hot. When leaving the room, we pass thru the locker room and new boy is there. My friend introduces us. Boy says happy to do 3-way. Let's do it now. Not going to happen. My friend may get off 4 or 5 times a day but not me. So trying to plan thus/fri. I've had several offers of group sex this trip, don't know why, but taking advantage of it. My friend was telling me, most of his customers are Chinese now. Very few Americans, a few more Europeans. Said he misses Americans because they are the best tippers. Chinese worse tippers. Again, Hero Massage is amazing. All great looking boys and someone for everyone. Some beefy boys, boys next door, younger to older. Thai boys are discovering the gym and it's a great thing. Out to Soi Twilight tonight to see if I can get into trouble. My 3 closest friends are out of town for a few days, so tonight will be a new boy, if I can find Mr.Right

I'm currently visiting in Berlin for 3 days and then to Budapest. Just got here today so I'll update later. Just went to Tabasco. The Tabasco/Pinnocio/BlueBoy complex hasn't changed one bit in the 35 or so years I've been visiting. A supermarket of guys- between the 3 bars and the small park next door and the street in front there were about 50 at 9pm on a Monday night. For those who complain that the "scene" has disappeared- it's still here same as ever. I miss the many Polish guys who used to be there. There are some Romanians and many Turkish-Germans. The majority now by far are North African-Arabs and the guys are overly pushy now. They grab you constantly and are hard to get rid of. I just walked back to my hotel room as I don't feel comfortable carrying much money there and want to put stuff in my safe in case I do bring anyone back. The beautiful gay Nollendorfplatz neighborhood has gotten extremely nice but is still incredibly cheap for tourism. I have a 4-Star hotel 3 blocks from Tabasco and 1 block from KaufhausDesWesterns department store for $59/night taxes included. Any suggestions? I know about laundro.mat but doubt I'll venture to it. Will update.

Like you, I love Hero. Unlike you, I have not found too many good guys that like 3 ways. I am happy you are finding this! LOL I hope you leave names and numbers on your bathroom wall for future visits for friends. It is nice you are enjoying yourself so much and you make me want to visit. Thank you. I do find my time relaxing there. I have never not had a good time at Hero. I have had a dud or two but I got back out and get a good one and back in again. I am rarely pushed for time and thus, I always find what I am looking for. I don't think others that have never been to Thailand quite realize the true amazing place it is. I love it and I have great fun there. I know you do as well. Keep the stories and the adventures coming. I love reading them and I know others do as well!

I have had the same driver in Rio for 4 years. So when I arrived on Sunday he was waiting for me outside the arrival terminal at GIG as usual. I am a big "pump up music" person at the gym, while running, before meetings. So for the past 4 years I just can't help myself when I am coming back to Rio singing "Happy Days are Here Again" all the way home to Ipanema. Well as I was walking out I heard really loud loud music and the voices of Judy and Barbra singing "Happy Days/ Get Happy" and low and behold there is my car with all the windows down and the song just blasting. Of course this is the same guy, my driver, who listens to my oldies and loves the song "Me and Mrs. Jones" and decided to sing it loudly at Shop Leblon one day, except in his attempt he was singing "Me and Mr. Jones". So please feel free to us my "pump up song" any time you like. It does not get better than this. If any one else has a song let us know what it is or the first thing they do when they arrive in Brazil.

Hi Tassojunior I've visited Berlin a few times in the last couple of years for business. I've found the Tabasco/Pinocchio bars to be fairly quiet except for the weekends. And I've never taken anyone back from there. Although I tend to only visit in Winter. Maybe that makes a difference? I haven't heard of laundro.mat - but do give us some info if you go there! It probably won't be too long before I am back in Berlin again. And also if you have any experience with any of the guys at the Tabasco/Pinocchio bars

My friend The Points Guy has a great post today on cheap fares to Brazil Enjoy!http://thepointsguy.com/2015/05/deal-alert-cheap-flights-to-brazil-from-630-rt/

It is cold and wet, with rain off an on right now. People are definitely dressed warmer at night. Daytime was great yesterday. The whole city seems to be sniffling, sneezing and hacking right now. Including myself. Change of weather. High mid-70's and low mid 60's today. Sweater weather here. Even more popular are that lots and lots of guys wear hoodies. When it gets humid and the wind comes off the water, it feels much colder than official temperature.

In the autumn of 2013, I was in Berlin for a week prior to my tour and did go to the bar/club as mentioned by you. I started getting hit on as soon as some of the guys saw me outside. I ignored them. When I left to go to the leather bar whose name escapes me now but it's a popular one, some guy was persistent in being with me. After I'd gotten to the front door of the other club, the doorman did NOT let me in. He stated a private party was goin' on; I, to this day, did NOT believe him. Guess he thought I was only interested in "Twinkish" or youngish guys and would not fit in very well in a bar full of studs! ...don't know when I will be returning to Berlin, but I did like the place very much and would liked to have been with a few, gigantically hung, uncut Germans or others!

Im using flight tracker and a ticket to SP from Raleigh/Durham with a connection in Washington DC for is $665 on united... so it looks like the other airlines are starting to match the American deals as well.

dear TomCal what a great blog this has been, i plan to hit rio in June, and a weekend in PA, all from your recommendations and adventures. does the Calvin Kline model live in rio, SP, or PA, one more question for you, best month to go june or july?

Last night I left at 7:45PM as the first wave or all of the waves had arrived in there was no Jefferson sighting. The place was busy. The had a special CHER show last night so most everyone was congregating in the bar instead of the TV room, A few were downstairs, but not many.

Farang doesn't translate into Vietnamese, but it pretty much has the same meaning in any language. "Rich White Person" A couple of nights ago I saw a credit card sliding machine behind the bar at Hot Male. I said to my friend I have never seen the beer bars use credit cards before. He said, sometimes farang don't have money to pay bill or off boy, but all farang have credit cards.

Yep it's hot. I just got in at 2:30am and it's still 89 degrees. But for some fun reasons the heat didn't bother me tonight. I haven't had a 3 way yet, but I'm sure it's coming now. I met my friend on Soi Twlight about 10pm and he wanted to watch the show at Hot Male. He is in a couple of sets on stage usually, but was with me tonight and sat it out and wanted to sit and watch his friends. The boys not in shows will sit around the club and say little things and smile at boys on stage. Some nights can be quite amusing when the boys are in the mood and they were tonight. Even with the language issues, you can figure out what's going on. After the show we went back to my apt. As I've mentioned about a 1000 times before. It's Hot. But it makes playing in the shower much more fun. I guess we were both in the mood, because the bedroom didn't last very long. Back to clean up time in the shower. It's about midnight and I'm starving, so I told him I was going back to Soi Twilight to eat. He was going home to sleep as he is headed to Vietnam tomorrow. But when I said food, he was ready to go with me. Everybody that wasnt out and about last night, was tonight. The street, bars and clubs were packed. We ordered food from Maxis and ate at the bar. Just as we were finishing , one of his Vietnam friends joined us. Buy him a beer, sure...few minutes later, another friend joined us. Buy him a beer, sure. Then a few minutes later, another friend, yep another beer. We had our own Vietnamese section at the bar. They were all in such good moods, I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Kind of funny, the owner of Hot Male was there. I have met and talked to him a few times over the years. He saw me and came over and asked me if I was cornering the market on Vietnamese boys. He said to me kind of quietly that he likes Vietnamese boys to. He talked to them a bit telling them they were good boys and he was happy they worked there. The boys are on their best behavior while he is there. When he left, they all let out a deep breath and took a minute or so to get their sense of humor back. This isn't just the boss, but the owner. One of the boys asked me if we could go back and do a 3-way. As fun as that sounded, once a night is good for me. He kept quietly asking me. So I told him there were 4 boys there and I couldn't take 2, I would have to take all 4. All of a sudden they are having a conversation in Vietnamese that I can only imagine what they are saying. They all look at me and say yes. I had to say no. I had just eaten and fooled around. It wouldn't have been as much fun as it should be. I told them maybe next week when my friend gets back. They were happy with that. This one boy speaks pretty good English. I asked if 4 of you come over, what are you willing to do with each other. He explained who would do who and what . He covered it all. I've done a couple 3-ways never more than that, but this sounds like a fun 1 time thing. I know the questions of costs get brought up both in the Brazil and Asian sections. I bought dinner for 3 of us. And then drinks for about 6 guys. I'm watching the slips pile up. For those that haven't been, when you order drinks, they write up a slip of paper and put them in a bin In front of you. When you leave they add them all up and you pay. So time to leave and I get the bill for 1300 baht and I paid 400 for us to eat. Couple of 100 baht tips passed around, I spent about 2200 baht for all this boy fun. That's about $66.00 U.S It's Saturday night and a very big spend for me. Last Saturday night I went to Swinging Richards in Ft.Lauderdale and cover, couple drinks and tips, I spent $100 You can have an amazing time here, and if you connect with a boy the fun is endless. As Oz said above, these boys go out of their way to make sure we have a great trip, not just a great time. Sure it's a payday for them, but most of them do make it an issue to check up on you over the course of a trip. Even when they leave town, they will find you a friend, or 4 . But guys, don't fall in love. You can have so much fun, but I feel so bad when I meet a new guy over here and buys everything a boys says to him, and think they truly love only him. Besides being a butterfly is so much fun. I have the best of both. A boy I like being with and doesn't mind that I stray a bit. I think I will spend my Sunday napping in front of the TV? I probably won't fall asleep till the sunrises today. It's been many years since that has happened. These darn boys
