Brazil Trip Overview Background Hematology- Oncologist so 100% book smart, 0% street sense or cred. British by birth, Ghanaian (Asante heritage), Mayo-BJH-CDC-NIH-NCI willing hostage. Nerdy as fuck!!! Woke up one morning, three weeks ago and decided that I had had enough reading other people’s sexcapades in Brazil. Visa Application My British passport expired late last year, I have not had time to renew so I had to apply for a visa with my Ghanaian Passport and Green Card. Since I was not sure if the visa waiver policy was going to apply to permanent residents as well I decided to go ahead and apply for a visa anyway. Gathered the required documents (completed online portion with an uploaded passport picture~>print receipt sign and paste another passport photo on there, passport, green card, pay stubs, utility bill and an $80 USPS cashiers check and a ticket I got with COPA for about $500 for the 17th of April). 4 hour drive to Chicago, submitted my application on the Friday, 5th of April. I was given a receipt to pick up my visa on the 12th of April, was in and of the Embassy within 15 minutes. I had heard and read terrible stories about the in-person visa application process so I knew I was cutting it real close. Tuesday 9th April I checked online and my visa was ready to pick up. I bought my ticket to fly out of Chicago to São Paulo, so I waited to pick up my passport and visa on the 16th and then just fly out in the morning of the 17th. Pre-Trip Planning Extensive reading of this blog consulted a member on here who gave me a lot of pointers. I chose an Airbnb in Jardim Paulista. I sent the host a message asking if visitors were allowed. She said yes but it is better, safer, easier and more convenient if I knew the names and RG or CPF of the friends I am expecting so she could pre-authorise them to come up to the apartment. I went ahead and gave her the names and CPF of two guys that I had planned to meet. As part of my planning I pinned to various locations (including Lagoa) in São Paulo on Grindr to see the kind of guys around. Spoke to two that I found really attractive (non- Garoto) and meeting up with with them when I get there. I tried to set up a massage and waxing appointment package at inhouseagencia via WhatsApp but whoever is managing the account was not keen on setting up an appointment a week before. He said to get in touch at most a day before. Goldtherapy spa did not even bother to respond. Estudio5massagem set up a waxing appointment for Thursday at 11:00am. I set up an Instagram account followed one Garoto and then I got several suggestions so followed a bunch of Garotos (I think those guys live more fabulous lives than I do) lol. Just arrived at the Airbnb and it is small but looks great. Will update daily. I doubt my reports will be as juicy as Numazu’s and Tomcal’s but i’ll try my best slut up!!!

Thank you for the tips, @rodiem25! I do not think I will be doing bathhouses, but all the museums you mentioned are in my To Do List. We went to Tom's last night. If that is a leather bath, I am Queen Elizabeth. You pay a $250 cover that includes 6 beers. As soon as we paid, a security guy who heard me speaking in English to my friend, approached asking if I spoke Spanish, and warning me about keeping my wallet and phone safe if I decide to go the the bathroom, because it is actually a dark room. We arrived before midnight and the place was starting to get packed. After checking the three levels of the venue, we settled camp nearby the entrance to the dark room/rest room. By the way, in the top level there is a place where you can check in your belongings if you are planning to dive into the dark. Being by the entrance allowed us to have a view of the men getting in and out. I did not feel tempted to go in fishing, based on the fish I saw circulating. My friend did, and did not report anything interesting when returned. My friend is into watching, and one of his reasons to come to CDMX was checking the famous stripers places. Unfortunately, Botas Bar and BB Bar are now closed. When we were considering running away from Tom's because to was getting super crowded, I engaged in conversation with a patron who told us we would have a strippers show there. So we decided to stay. This boy shared about three new strippers venues in Polanco, a fancy neighborhood. These places would be Envy, Guilt, and Saint. He was very insisting that these were expensive, pretentious, upscale venues unlike Tom's and the bars in Zona Rosa. Based on a quick google research, Envy and Guilt seem to be a discos/night clubs with a relatively high cover; Saint does not seem to have a website, but the online reviews describe it as a pretentious upscale night club. I am not sure whether or not we will explore these places, but the info is out there. Carlos (the patron I was talking to) did not know that the BB Bar was closed, but he did recommend us a place just across the street, Boys Bar, where live sex shows and strippers would be hosted. We will check Boys Bars tomorrow, they do not open today. The strippers show started in Tom's. First a beautiful very much Aztec looking man shoed up on top of the bar counter dressed up as a priest. Remember, this is Semana Santa and the theme of the night was religious, even the porn in the screens was Resurerection. The priest spread holly water around the patrons and then proceeded to undress, keeping his underwear. Beautiful, beautiful boy. I would have probably gone crazy if instead of being dressed up as a Catholic priest he would have shown up in traditional Aztec warrior gear. After showing off his body for a while, he took his underwear off and allowed the patrons to touch his nice hard dick. After he left, the next guy came up in monk gear. He also got naked and I think there even was a quick fellatio after he showed his hard dick, but I did not find him attractive. At this point the place was so crowded that was hard to move around. We were a little bit bored, the crowd was friendly and young, but no one was activating my dick. We did not know at this point that Boys Bar was not open, and the hope to watch a life sex show got us out of Tom's. Moving from our position by the dark room, at the back of the establishment, was a challenge. The place was a trap in vase of panic. This is one of those unusual occasions when I am happy to be big. Somehow, I pushed my way out of the bar. Once out, we noticed tat not only the place s packed, but there also were many patrons hanging out outside smoking cigarets. We called Uber, and 50 Mexican Pesos and 10 minutes later we were back in the Zona Rosa, learning that Boys Bar opens Thursday, Fridays, and Saturdays. To Do List for tomorrow. I do not know yet what is our plan for tonight. If m friend leaves me free I may try to reach out a guy from Mileroticos. During the day we still have to choose between going to Chapultepec to visit the Museo Nacional de Arqueología, or the docks in Xochimlico, to sail the left overs of the original lake.

I’m arriving in Bangkok tomorrow. Stay tuned for my trip report.

When I entered Oliver's house, the crowd was so big that it was hard to get around. So many naked guys, I thought I had entered the baths! Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Yes. Dreamboys had it on their closing show. On their last night one of the boy dancers was illuminated with ‘farewell tonight’ painted on. It was almost the only reference to the place closing down. They were definitely promoting the paradiso in some mic name checks. I’m not sure if it was a final night special but there was an interminable scene where one fat old ladyboy was screwed by two of the big cock guys including full audience tour for tips. The other noticeable thing to me was how many women were in the audience. For the later show I’d guess 25 out of 60 were asian women and quite a lot of couples/mixed sex groups. When I walked past their new place on its first night there was an overspill of the boys having to sit out on the street. If that capacity issues continues will certainly catch the eye of passers by. other brief observations I did a daytime reccy. In the right spot on pat pong 2 you are less than 50 yrs from the entrances to four new bars. Also totally mixed in with the girlie scene. Will the big topless pool bar soon be torsos not tits? New hotmale must be several weeks away judging by building work. Reckon it will hold 150. Decent size space. New fresh boys clearly took over an out of use girlie bar. Again I’d guess 150 if packed in. the interesting place is luckboys. That is big and had some decent capx at one stage. It’s got a small Vegas stage style. It has three tiers and reaching the upper level won’t be for the less nimble.... it wasn’t that well suited to moving people in and out quickly but given its set up and that market now seems to be about tourist ‘shows’ I’d guess it will be the story of 2020.

Ive written before that there was nude dancing in some form or another much earlier than 1991 and 1996. In 1980 the old Apollo Bar located at the end of Soi 4 had nude dancing from around 9:30 pm or maybe 10 pm. On my visits over at least 3 years there was never an evening without nude dancing. Soon Twilight (the original version of Hotmale) had nude dancing every night from roughly the same time. fFom the mid-1980s Barbiery, Super Lek and others soon had nude painted body shows and soap bubble shows. All this was in addition to the usual fuck shows. I know some posters are put off by nude dancing. The boys in Twilight never seemed to enjoy being nude, but those particularly in Apollo and Barbiery seemed to really enjoy it and they really did dance. Certainly those of us in the audience did.

yes , no better thing than be motivated by the deadline , LOL

Wow, now vinapu is setting a deadline for reporting? Lol

Thank you @floridarob and @rodiem25 for the suggestions and tips. Hopefully tonight I will get a local escort for reviewing, but I am not sure yet. To be honest, although I am having a good deal of sex (my traveling partner would smack me if I say otherwise), what I am enjoying the most is the cultural experience. Yesterday field trip to Teotihuacán was a very enjoyable educational experience, and so was today's visit to the Museo del Templo Mayor. I am impressed at the work of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia. I have always admired the way that Peru and Mexico integrated their precolombian history to their national identity, specially Mexico after the Mexican Revolution at the beginning of the XX Century. Other peoples, including Argentina and the USA, start their national history with the arrival of the European colonizers, we look down to the original peoples, we exterminated, betrayed, and erased them from our national identities. Mexicans recognize a continuity and an identity with a history tat foes back to the AC years. I admire and respect them so much for doing so. Hopefully, there will be another earthquake that will demolished all the churches and buildings built by the Spaniards on top of the original Mexica city and the INAH will be able to recover more treasures. But you do not care about that. You want sex. After my hook up with the Colombian guy, I had to mute my Grindr and put a few local escorts on hold, because Randisan was arriving in transit to Cancun. I mentioned him before, so I am not going to link again to my review. Last night I went to bed early to recover from the Teotihuacán field trip and welcome him as he deserved. He arrived about 2:30 am, took a shower, woke me up, and we had our first fuck. We slept a little bit more, and fucked again at about 7, before going to have breakfast. After having breakfast in the hotel, we has a pictures and video session for my blog. Here you have just three pictures, but we also did video. Despite being exhausted, some of the clips I am not sharing here made me horny again, and he gave me some head, we did not fuck a third time. After I am back to DC I will write a full review and start sharing the pics and videos in my JustFor.Fans account. He left at 1PM today heading to Cancun, where you can find him if you are interested on hiring him. I rested a little bit and then, with my friend from Daddy's, we went to explore the Museo del Templo Mayor. I am right now resting and recovering before going out tonight. We were told Tuesday is the best day t go to Tom's, and we will be there.

Yesterday, the decision was going to the Museo Nacional de Arqueología. Before continuing reading, there is not going to be any sex stories in this post, you can skip it if that is want we are looking for. We started the day with a 25' walk up to the Castillo de Chapultepec. It is in the middle of the homonym park, a beautiful green oasis in the middle of the city. We took the Paseo de la Reforma to enjoy the arquiterrures and views. The castle is a reminiscence of pre-revolutionary Mexico, when they were still trying to be European-like. The place looks just like a thousand of European-like palaces around the globe, not interesting at all to me. But the views of the city are astonishingly beautiful. Unfortunately, the level the pollution in the air is quite high, up to the point that the sky is not fully blue, and you cannot see the beautiful mountains ranks in the background. We did not stay long, and walked down to cross the park, pass by a nice lake with boats very popular amongst the locals. There are street vendors everywhere, quite loud to my taste, but very respectful. I like that when you say “no, gracias”, they do not insist as it is my experience in other cultures. The Museo Nacional de Arqueología is a very modern and functional construction. Visiting it was an overwhelming educational experience, adding to our previous visit to Teotihuacán. We spent almost 4 hours there and all we could check was the first level, rushing through the last rooms, and a flash walk in one section of the second level. The 1st floor is where all the archeological displays are located, which is what my priority was, the second level is about anthropological displays, not one of my priorities. The experience just added to my respect and admiration for Mexican social sciences and for the way they have integrated precolombian history to their identity, as I mentioned in another post. Reading the quotations in the walls of the building brought me near to tears. I know, I am a cheesy emotional bitch. Right in the front of entrance lobby there is an excerpt that reads something like: “The Mexican People raises this monument to honor the admirable cultures that flourished during Precolombian times in the regions that are now territory belonging to the Republic. Facing those cultures’ testimonies, the Mexico of today renders homage to the indigenous Mexico, in whose example recognizes essential characteristics of its national originality” (Adolfo Perez Mateos, President of the Republic). Such a recognition brings me to tears again when I am writing this post. I wish all the nations of the new continent were able to integrate their role history the same way. Throughout the museum there are more quotations sculpted in the walls, sometimes beautiful poetry, or moral maxims, or excerpts from the Popol Vuh and other ancient texts. The way he museum is built and their displays design is just another example of how forward looking and superior Mexican social sciences are compare to most other national academies. I tried to document that in some of the pictures, but you have to be there to actually appreciate the talent behind this unique place. IMG_2758.MOV IMG_2757.MOV IMG_2754.MOV After about 4 hours we were exhausted and stopped in the restaurant of the Museum. A fancy but very nice, relaxed, and friendly place with a menu consisting of traditional but very elaborated dishes. It was not cheap for local standards, but very affordable to us. I had a ribeye chicharron on a bed of avocado, a soda, churros, and coffee, for $M 500. Once we rested and enjoyed our meal, we headed to explore two neighborhoods: Condesa and Zona Norte. The first one is full of nice building art deco style, and both areas seem to be residence for the local upper middle class. Very often I would feel like in Palermo or Recoleta back in Buenos Aires. We even found an Argentine “parrilla” in Roma Norte. We were back to our hotel about 7pm, too tired to do anything else. We did make a quick check of the bars around Amberes, but they all were too noisy and crowded, and we just went to sleep. My original intention was hiring a local escort, but I was just into going to sleep. I know I planned the trip expecting to be more adventurous and trying more of he local guys, but it has switched to a culture centered experience. This morning we had an early breakfast and headed towards the canals of Xochimilco, which are the left overs of the original canals built by the Mexicas when constructing this city on top of a lake. We called Uber, $M 250, which is the higher fee I have paid so far. The driver was very talkative, which I usually do not like, but I did enjoyed answering his questions and his responses to my owns. When we were approaching to the docks of Nativitas, already in Xochimilco, a guy on a bike came next to us and asked the driver to followed him because there was a traffic jammed on the regular route. The guy is one of many employees that Xochimilco’s city hall (Delegación de Xochimilco) uses to help up visitors to the area. They have a laminated credential hanging from their necks. I am not sure if the traffic jam story was true or just an excuse to take us to other docks, where he may be getting a tip for bringing clients. Whatever his motivation was, we were soon in one of the 11 docks you can choose to get in a boat (trajinera) to sail the left overs of the old lake. Everyone was extremely nice and friendly. We were only two, so the bill was more expensive for us. The price for the tour we chose was $M 3000. You can pick from a 45’ tour to a 5/6 hours one going up to the ecological zone and the Isla de las Muñecas (Island of the dolls). 3000 was the price for the whole “trajinera”, we paid 1500 each. The boat can accommodate up to 20 people, which is what the locals do, having little floating parties. You can rent speakers and bring your food to eat on the boat. Most people buy their food from the many vendors in boats. When you rent the boat, you can also order anything you want that you think you may want during the tour (drinks or food). We just ask for sodas, and hey brought a bucket with ice and 6 bottles of Coke Zero. By the end of the tour, we would pay only for the bottles we drank. IMG_2794.MOV IMG_2791.MOV IMG_2783.MOV IMG_2781.MOV IMG_2773.MOV IMG_2767.MOV IMG_2759.MOV Our tour was about 2 hours sailing the main canal, and stopping in any place we wanted along the route. Besides the sailing vendors, the coast is full of restaurants, nurseries with local plants, and mini zoos where you can learn about some of he local fauna. There is also an amazing amount of boats with mariachis bands offering their services. The water is not really clean, as the canals are in the middle of the city nowadays, but they do their best to keep it as clean as possible. All he bathrooms along the tour are ecological, with a city certificate. There is vegetation and fish (carpas and mojarras), as well as abundant birds. The depth of the canals is 2 meters, and the guys driving the “trajineras” use long logs to move around, pretty much as a Venetian gondolieri. You can see in the pics and clips how colorful and festive the atmosphere is. Once our tour was over, we paid a $M 200 tip to our “gondolieri”, who not only navigated the boat but also guided us throughout the experience, answering all of our questions and giving us recommendations about what to eat from the sailing vendors. I cannot stress enough how friendly and nice everyone is. We landed back in Xochimilco, and took a walk around. This area is not as fancy as Condesa, Roma, Zona Rosa, or Polanco, but a very popular neighborhood, probably a typical local middle/low middle class residential area. It is some kind of commercial hub with a big traditional market and any stores offering retails and wholesale products. It is probably where the street vendors working the fancier areas get their supplies. I guess some European or American visitors may think it was a poor and unsafe area, but they would be wrong. I never, never felt unsafe in any of the places we walk through. We ended in the central square, in from of the local city hall, and called for an Uber. Great day, uplifting, rich cultural experience again. Right now I am relaxing in my room and catching up with this log and my blog networking. My friend is leaving tomorrow (I stay one more day), and he may be right now visiting the Palacio Nacional. I decided to rest because I do no want to be too tired to go to Boys Bar tonight. Hopefully, we will have some sex to talk about n my next post. This is a great, great city full of adorable people.

I take back my comment, having heard the objections to it and reconsidered.

They had this act at Hotmale last November. I asked one of the captains whether the three guys were wearing body suits because the artwork was quite intricate to have been painted on the go go dancers in just a matter of minutes but he assured me that it was painted on. The act was OK; it would have been sexier if they had picked the guys with the sexiest bodies but they seemed to have been in short supply that night but there were plenty of huge cocks! One of the dancers had a substantial amount of lower abdominal fat which seemed more pronounced in silhouette form but overall the show was alright and the captains at this bar were some of the friendliest and least intrusive that we had encountered.

Take a pic and I'll read it for you.

Yes, I recall many such shows and I agree they really were artistic. I think they started in Barbiery with one or two boys being painted on each of its small stages. I recall the boys were always nude. Once painted, their dancing under the ultra-violet light was slinky and indeed sinuous. It certainly started in the 1980s although precisely when I cannot remember. A few other bars later began to copy the idea. I remember seeing it in Hotmale after its reincarnation from Twilight around the turn of the millennium. But the painting was more basic and the boys did not have the same artistry - nor did they seem to have the same enthusiasm. Wasnt that one of the great bonuses in Barbiery - how enthusiastic ALL the boys were? I dont recall any of the many dozens of evenings I spent in that bar when even one boy looked bored. There seemed to be a tremendous camaraderie amongst them - and there always were lots and lots of them! I dont know of any bar where this act can be seen today - or even in the last dozen years.

This hotel chain, with personal names for every place, is very gay friendly, being the owner Mr Sarasola a well known gay entrepreneur... In Chueca quarter, Madrid, he has the Oscar hotel

One thing that has disappeared was the fluorescent painted body show particularly in Barbiery, but at a few other bars too. The artistry of the painter was amazing. Performed in black light, the dragons, serpents, tigers, or foliage moved sinuously with the gogo boy's body outline barely visible. At its best, the gogo boy would be nude, and there would be the added thrill of making his equipment out amidst the darkness. It think the heyday of this art (and it's the one thing about these bars that I'd call art) was in the 1990s; it began to disappear with the crackdowns of later 1990s, and soon faded out altogether by the 2000s. Does anyone remember this act? It's such a pity no one was allowed to take photos in the bars. I would have built a valuable collection otherwise. By any chance is any bar doing something similar nowadays?

I think nude performances are most appreciated when the dancers know they have the body and skill for it. I found that there was always some to be found on Twilight who fit that bill. Seeing guys who lack confidence put on display simply to extend the show doesn't enhance the experience But when I see dancers who are really into it I'm far more inclined to sit back and enjoy the show--and buy that second drink.

From The Nation (18 Apr.) The Maya Bay beach, which has been closed to the public since last year to allow coral restoration and beach recovery, would remain closed to visitors indefinitely, the head of Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, Woraphot Lomlim, said. After 10 months of being closed, nature is slowly rehabilitating itself, Woraphot said, citing the return of reef sharks and ghost crabs to the area while the 23,000 pieces of coral that were planted were growing. The bay with sugary-white beach and beautiful coral reef -- located in the Phi Phi islands between Krabi and Phuket -- was made famous by the 2000 Hollywood film “The Beach” starring Leonardo Di Caprio, but was battered by the year-round tourist traffic. During peak times, Maya Bay reportedly received as many as 5,000 visitors a day. As the nature and ecology there were in a critical condition, the authority announced the closure of May http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/national/30367887

He knows he'll get one anyways as soon as I land home :) Considering the fact that this is a family trip, let's just hope I'll have something interesting to report. As always, I'll do my best :)

Same as your musclegod haha, and its purely out of curiousity than attraction. Ok thats a lie, i wont off if there is no attraction lol but curiousity is the trigger, coz otherwise id be trying to stay and look at other boys as well instead of offing him even before show start lol

Finally confirmation - Smart and Atom can be offed. If the price is right.

You can also off him if u like him w/o watching and paying 4 d show, lol

My KL friend totally avoided jupiter my last trip due to a very unfortunate incident. The boy he off said he was sick on the way to hotel, but jupiter mamasan refused to refund the off fee. My only off from jupiter was none other than the superstar muscle boy lol. I would still go there for boys but wont put high hopes of getting an off, and move on to other bars if i didnt get any hehe

Good news. The diver has been saved. Story linked has been updated

and 2 weeks before you report back ?

all that is precisely the reason Jupiter is not my favorite bar although I like look of their guys, I treat it the same way as window shopping

I will make sure to go check out your Mr. Perfect once I get there next week.

Hi, DrimVoiz About Nicky, I saw him last year ..now he left Moonlight or perform sometimes? He looks so sweet indeed, if he were smile maker, u cannot take your eyes off. DrimVoiz..you sound nice :-) I miss the venue in soi twilight ..

That's still a few boys compared to many boys of DB Soi Twilight...anyway, I hope there are a lot on my next trip and Mr. Perfect Guy is still there, lol...thanks Jasper!!!

So just a quick update. My In-laws just landed a couple of hours ago and were very grateful for this service. Someone met them at the airplane exit took them in a golf car to passport control for fasst track, then helped them with the luggage and took them straight to the car to Pattaya where they will spend two nights before meeting us in BKK. They were indeed very grateful and appreciative. I hope that gives me and my husband enough points for lots of babysitting in our weekend in BKK. Thanks for the great advice. 32 hours to liftoff!!!

Muy interesante! I’m taking a quick 3-day trip to CDMX on Saturday the 20th, staying in La Condesa. It’s a recon visit, to access for further visits.

Fantastic news! I doubt if any poster will be as warmly welcomed as you, dear Shameless Mack. Once you are settled in, please, please keep up your contributions with your own slant and details of the bars and massage spas. I still have your old body analyses and your proposal for a new go-go bar. Had someone followed your design - and been able to pay the tea money to the BIB - I believe it would have packed in the customers.

I can recall Surawong back in 1991 (!). I was a mere child, but, I remember most of the clubs and gogo's were in the vicinity of where Tawan is today. Other than that, I would echo Londoner's description of things.

We oldies tend to romanticise the past. Ask me about BKK in 1997, the year of my first visit and I'll recall the exciting , vibrant and busy bars I visited, all of them full of cute and willing guys. And they actually danced and engaged with us. So different to the statuesque ones that took over ten years later when straight guys with muscles became the fashion. And yet, and yet....if pressed, I can also recall bars with no customers and few guys. Even then, there were too many bars, a couple of them in Patpong where the exodus is taking place, and even at the end of Silom Soi 2 where the clubs are now. Some of them had disappeared before my next trip the following year. Come to think of it, I'd even suggest that the last few years of Soi Twilight have seen a period of relative stability. And, by the way, in 1998, Soi Twilight had only a few of other bars -Twilight Bar itself, Blue Star, Extreme......it was hardly the centre of gay life. Others can correct me on this but my recollection is that it wasn't even paved in those days.

I attended last year and had a great time. I would be back this year but instead I am leaving DC tomorrow to spend a week in CDMX. Last year I wrote details reports in my bog, you can look for them. https://ilikepinga.com/2018/04/16/palm-springs/ https://ilikepinga.com/2018/04/17/trio-restaurant/ https://ilikepinga.com/2018/04/17/pool-party/
