I was in Havana from December 28th to January 4th. It was very hot and humid and this poor Canadian suffered. Fortunately I had good air conditioning in my flat but it curtailed any excursions except to to Mixte and Cafe Cantante for NYE. Mixte is a very nice club. Fantastic drag performers. I went there with Arian and Henry from the Casa and a straight couple from Zurich. I met young Felix who joined me at the end of the evening for a visit to my humble abode. He was a very smoochy, horny young Cuban. European looking and on the short side. 35CUCs. The major problem with Havana is access to potable water. I'm a big man and I drink a lot of water. Bottled water only comes in small plastic containers. You can't find any 2 liter bottles. I also find the food to be "no hell". I had a rendezvous with Yoel from PlanetRomeo. He's a very petit guy. European looking and a lovely pinga. A very sweet guy. Unfortunately my cellphone was stolen at Cafe Cantante NYE which begs the question why bring it in the first place... to take pictures. I don't think I'll even bring a phone on my next trip abroad, just bring a cheap digital camera. I also had problems finding a place to exchange money. All in all I'd give Havana a grade of C. I'm thinking of Rio or Porto Allegre next.

Thanks for the feedback...I was looking for traditional gay saunas, not the pay for play ones... I will definitely look into your recommendations...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The only saunas in Germany are gay saunas. If you are thinking of Brazilian type saunas with rent boys being in Germany, it is not going to happen. Your friend told you about saunas in other cities in Europe but omitted one sauna in Europe that is predominately a rent-boy sauna, which is in Zurich, not far from Germany. The name of the Zurich sauna is Paragonya wellness club - http://www.paragonya.ch/and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2g0VcjgsK4 The sauna is in a very nice section (old) of Zurich, located in a commercial building. The sauna usually has more than 40 working guys. Considering that you like Brazil so much, you might like to know that a large portion of the working guys at the sauna are Brazilians. The working guys are of a varied mix. Of course, most of the Brazilians are "butch" while the Asian working guys are usually "twinks" and are often rather feminine. The club, itself, is extremely clean. The "rooms" that are available for getting together with working guys are rather flimsy with the door made of some sort of thin plastic. The use of the "rooms" is without cost. Check out the web links I provided and you will see the general layout of the place. Having been so many times to the Brazilian saunas and the sauna in Barcelona (thermas), I cannot recommend Paragonya as a place to make a special trip to see. It is okay but it is not one of my favorite saunas.
