I've been going to Cuba for about 16 or 17 years now.... I have things that I love or hate about the place, much like any place I visit I guess.... I went with another friend that makes TomCal seem like a Nun.... didn't think that was possible. Reminds me of TotalyOz in many respects (his spending and lodging habits) There is WiFi now available in the street for $2 an hour, so this alone may make my trips more frequent. Anyway, my big whore of a friend that has lived in Mexico, Thailand, Brasil and a few other places says that the scene in Havana is the BEST he has ever been to. He couldn't get over the number of cute guys that hang out at Bim Bom every night (in the hundreds) and the going price is still $20 and most will overnight. Gotta say That I still feel that Cuba is the safest country I travel to....one good result of a police state. Prostitution is still technically illegal and gotta be discreet in some respects but saw some of the hottest guys, twinks, muscle boys, black, white, tall short, masculine, loca....you name it. Can drink 24 hrs a day, drink in the street great Rum is $5 a bottle (my weakness) Now that the State is allowing many businesses to operate legally there are some very good and inexpensive restaurants, 2 gay bars.... but I found Taxi's to be on the high side compared to other countries, so stay in an apt or hotel close to Vedado. My friend is such a HO, he had a boy he had never met in person (only on Skype) fly in to Cancun from Lima to spend time with him while in mexico (very TotallyOz), lol I generally feel like I had my fill after returning from Cuba but am already making plans to go back the end of January..... fitting in a quick trip to BKK before the end of the year though!

Hi, Badboy! Wonderful people have various tastes. Thankfully, there are many types available in Brazil, why we come time and time again. It was a long journey to reach Rio. I had a little reaction to something on the plane, perhaps the NyQuil I took before the flight. It usually works as my sleeping pill, but perhaps it works best when you are in a more comfortable lying down position. I woke up covered with cold sweat and felling light headed. Thankfully it went away after a seemingly quite long time. Then there is the connecting flight in São Paulo. The new T4 is being renamed as T1, the old T1 and T2 is now T2. Thankfully there are signs on the shuttle bus and terminal to warn you. At T4, the Azul agent printed my ticket for someone else before me, so I couldn't get in. After reprinting it, still doesn't work. Luckily, with all the problems Brasil is suffering, terrorism is not one of them, the security lady at the entrance just let me in with a smile. I had a laugh with the guy holding the same ticket as mine on board. The wonderful times when terrorism was not a factor in our lives :-) Landing at SDU is a luxury in itself, so many pretty sights. The prepaid taxi to Gloria in terminal is 35R, the regular taxi has a long line waiting. So I just walked out past an overhead bridge and waved down a taxi on the street. It's a 11R ride to Metro Gloria. Checked in hotel at 4pm. The room at hotel monte castelo is small but clean, bed is hard and comfy, so I am quite happy. The sink is really a toy sized sink like someone commented on booking.com :-) But hey, it's literally next door to 117! It's Friday, so I decided to go to MM. The hot weather and the sighting of cute Brazilians in the airport is so welcoming:-) As I stepped out of the metro and saw the cathedral few blocks away, the usual buzz and smell from the street, as people heading home on a Friday afternoon, it just feels home! Quite crowded inside, a lot of clients in the changing room, and a lot of boys. A couple familiar faces, mostly new ones. None of the boys I slept with before. There is one in particular my type, but he is a totoal top and quite popular with other clients so no deal :-( A couple others not bad as well, but after seeing the first boy, I decide to keep looking a bit longer. A cute, little thuggish black boy caught my eye and a handshake, a hug, a few kisses, we ended up in the sauna. I am usually attracted to the clean cut twink boys, this boy with his spunky big hair and little thuggish attitude towards other boys is not my usual targets, but he is a great kisser. It's only 100R, why not. He said he is a top, but do a little passivo :-) he is so tight I can't even get in. But it was somewhat fun. Walk around more afterwards, still a few more boys just checking in. Mostly dark boys like before. Run into a fellow member from the discussion board here from a cuuple years ago. What a small world! Still very busy, but I am tired from the travel, decided to call it a day. And what a lovely night, 25 degrees, no need for AC nor blanket. What a welcoming difference from December back home :-)
