200.000 COP is too much. Usually they take far less. The men brothel is Fercho Masajes, and they had a fixed price: 70.000 (or 60.000?)

I'm one of the few that enjoys air travel . I don't have the problems that most seem to have. Tomorrow I am flying to Bangkok from Boston. 24 hours of flying. I am more than happy with my bed in business class. I don't need 5 star dining . I'm more than happy with just the salad and appetizers they serve. The mid flight snacks a fine. I don't want to be weighted down on food on long flights . I don't drink, so wine list isn't important to me. I know this is important to most. While most are happy with what they serve, there are still those that aren't happy unless it's a $250.00 bottle. I'm happy that I can check in 3, 75-lb bags for free. I get to take a shower in the lounges and eat or drink more. I get all this for a $750.00 airfare. I find it a pretty good deal. That's what the fares were 25 years ago. These low fares allow me and a lot others to see the world. I'm not saying it's perfect by any means, but I think many people like to complain because thats what we do nowadays . So while many people are writing on flyertalk today about the miserable time they had, I'm finishing my packing and will happily take my seat tomorrow, and spend my time daydreaming about the 1000 boys in Bangkok just waiting for me to arrive.

Actually, anyone who has a good to better experience on any airline should be pleased and count himself lucky for that trip. F has been gone for 20 or more years, replaced by "add-ons" such as small motel rooms, unprounceable food, etc. Business is almost what passes for what now is called cattle class. You pay how many hundred dollars or give up how many miles for 1.5 inch more seat? We won't even go into cattle class, named not only for how the airlines treat you there but also how many act there. The airlines are not the only but they are the leading exponent of businesses that treat their customers like dirt. Are all airline pax into S&M? Why does anyone pay to be treated like this? Why does arriving at the terminal 1-2 hours before the flight, actually leaving on time and arriving an hour later, on time, seem like a wonderful flight? Answer: Because it almost never happens, when this should be quite ordinary and expected. Best regards, RA1

By now you shouldn't have to practice all that much. Best regards, RA1

Mention of Princeton reminds (off point but before it flees the memory ) how Hahvahd & Jale enjoy looking down on each other but jointly regard Princetonians as dull white bread concerned with not much beyond their eating clubs. Harvard types are specifically selected for being not 'well rounded' but 'angular' (their own admissions office's word) while the saying I like best about my alma was a WWII phrase: 'If you have something that absolutely must get done, get a Yale man.' (A Bonesman I presume it meant.)

They sell adapters on the street here for 5 Reais.

About NJ. It's definitely largely a squalor zone, with some notable exceptions: the horse country around Bernardsville, Far Hills, Lambertville and Madison. Oh, Princeton and Lawrenceville, too. But, overall, unless you're really loaded, the taxes are utterly abominable.

Chowing down on rotten, oily slime skimmed from vats of decayed fish parts but worrying over your salt intake? You guys are a hoot!

I'm in agreement. When I read the title, I thought of "butt plugs" and dildoes!

I would have been extremely "pissed" if I had to endure your experience! I would still be bitchin' today and would have filed a complaint in hopes of being compensated in some way!

BA= Bloody Awful! I have only flown British Airways in F and in inter-Europe C. I was less than impressed with ground service (the Concord Room lounge, while roomy, leaves a lot to be desired servicewise and the transport of F passengers to the plane is lacking anything close to "first class") add in the taxes and fees for the pleasure of flying into LHR and you can see why I avoid them.
