Actually, this is a preliminary notice prior to a report. I leave tomorrow for a 2 weeks in Thailand, I'll stop in Hong Kong on Friday and get to Swampy mid-day Saturday. I'll be in Bangkok for 8 days and then six days in Pattaya, staying in Jomtien. Any forum members who might want to meet up send me a PM. I've been in touch with two members and we have hazy tentative plans about meeting. Today, began with a bit of controlled horror - I woke to a buzzing on my wrist as my watch replayed a text from my bank saying there had been an unauthorized charge. After the call and agreement that I'd not authorized a charge in Cyprus, my card was cancelled with a new one being sent. Pain in the... as this is my principal card for purchases. But there are other cards so I'm substituting. Then I visited the dentist to have repairs made to two teeth. Back at home, a call from my credit union telling me they had a charge from Cyprus! This is the card I use at ATMs when I travel as it has no fees. Ugh...this is not my day and it's only 11am. The credit union is a ten minute walk from where I live and I head there as the notice I'd received was automated, and wanted too too many codes and waiting times on hold to accomplish anything. At the office, the manager said hello and how could he help. I told him, and he helped. In a few minutes, I had a new ATM card and withdrew cash to change at the rail station at BKK. I'm looking forward to a rest from dealing with effects of Cypriots getting my card information and a respite from seeming constant traveling: Mid-April I flew to China, then back to the Bay Area, then on to the UK. From where I returned yesterday to attend two meetings. Tomorrow off to Thailand via HK. I'm looking forward to inspecting and evaluating and enjoying the revitalized entertainment zone(s) and having some massages. Sorry to be missing PaulSF and DivineMadman who have lef to rest up for their next sojourns in Thailand. Not sure if I report from the scene or when I return in June...but I swear to the spirit of Vinapu that I will report. PS: Some good news...United Airlines just called to tell me I'd been upgraded for the flight to Hong Kong.

Day 3 Another late start after the night before. Late breakfast and then some time relaxing at the pool. Mid-afternoon, decide to head out for a massage. After the disappointment at 'Magic Touch' the previous day, decide to go to MyHero. It's further to travel and more expensive, but a place where I have always received consistently good service in the past and where the choice of boys is generally more to my taste. Free travel on the skytrain due to the coronation celebrations this weekend is an unexpected bonus. Arrive at MyHero around 4pm. About 20 guys to choose from. Immediately focus on a lean but muscular guy, one of the few to take his shirt off to reveal a great torso, wide shoulders, slim waist and muscular 6 pack. My choice is confirmed when mamasam includes him in the group of guys when I enquire 'who is gay/does everything?' Masseur is called Win - suffice to say it is a great session - scrub, oil massage and special service. Restores my faith in massage services after the previous days disappointment. Leave feeling rejuvenated and satisfied. Rest up back at hotel for a while and then head out to dinner - a local thai restaurant for a good chicken green curry. Its getting a bit late now - around midnight - but decide to pop into Moonlight for a beer. There is a special boy here who I have linked up with on previous visits and I'm curious to know if he is still around. Fixed fee of 450 bht to enter - for show and one drink. The place is busy as there is a birthday celebration for the owner/manager taking place. I go upstairs to find a seat and watch the final parts of the second show. As the show ends and the boys reappear on stage, it is clear that many have already been offed and few remain to choose from. No sign of my special one. I decided to head back to hotel alone to sleep but resolve to return earlier tomorrow as the choice of boys at Moonlight is usually to my taste. Day 4 to follow .............

I have been grateful to learn so much from the reviews of others over the years. Now I have just returned from my most recent visit to Bangkok, I thought I would share my experiences with everyone. It is certainly a time of change around the gogo bar scene in Bangkok just at the moment. I will include my observations of some of the new bars, alongside the old. Day 1 Flight arrived at 7pm. Quickly through fast-track immigration and bags rapidly available. Traffic into the city was terrible. This might be usual on a Friday night or possibly because of the celebrations for the Kings coronation over the weekend. Settled into hotel in Silom close to the scene. Tired, but feel like a beer and a quick look round the bars to get settled in. First visit to Lucky Boys. Arrive as the show is drawing to a close with big cock show boys walking around the crowd seeking tips for a quick feel. A big barn of a place and it is packed. Lots of staff around who find me a seat. Good layout, with a mix of booth style seating for groups and other individual or small seating areas. Lots of boys. Mostly twinks. Place empties fast at the end of the show. Not in the mood for an off, so finish drink and go back to hotel. Left with the impression that Lucky Boys has quickly established itself as the leading bar amongst the new group on Soi 1. They have probably taken lots of business from the old Dreamboys. I wonder if they will be able to sustain this longer term? Back to hotel and a lengthy sleep. Day 2 Late breakfast then a couple of hours at the hotel pool. Mid-afternoon decide to go for a massage. Keen to try 'Magic Touch by the Tree' based upon some very positive recent reviews. Arrive around 3pm. Easy to find and nice venue - clean and nicely decorated. No choice of masseur as I hadn't booked in advance and I am allocated to the next masseur on their rotation system. No problem with this in principle if all the masseurs have the same skills. Take 90 mins scrub and oil massage. Huge disappointment. Whilst masseur was friendly and attractive, his massage skills were average to poor and not a sensuous experience at all. He remained in his clothes throughout. Only towards the end did he offer me the 'special' service and suggested I'd like to tip him 2000Bht. Politely declined! He's going to have to work much harder for a tip anywhere near that size. So I leave unsatisfied, but with further opportunities ahead over the next week. I have no reason not to believe the earlier positive reviews of Magic Touch. I guess I was just unlucky in the selection of the masseur. But I'm not sure I'll go back, which is a pity given the convenient location close to my hotel. In the evening I decide to try more of the new bars - Hotmale and then Freshboys. Both bars a decent size and familiar layouts to the previous bars - with main stage area and tiered seating around 3 sides. Good number of boys in both bars - again mostly twinks - and the shows were the usual range of acts including fucking shows at the end. Freshboys has a fun group of waiters who seem to be competing with the stage boys for drinks and possible offs (the waiters all have numbers) from customers. There was lots of amusing interactions going on with the waiters. I found the waiters more attractive than the stage boys. After the 12 Midnight show, I offed my favourite waiter - back to hotel together for a couple of hours of fun. It made up for the poor massage experience earlier. Day 3 onwards to follow soon ...........

I've meet the Manager who is personable and was frustrated by the infrastructure. forum posters have commented on the air conditioning (cold and very cold) and I've wondered at the biological resource the room carpet provided. It appears that due to the luck of the calendar, I'll be one of the last of the Forum members to stay there as my reservation runs until the 27th. I can only hope that the services are maintained in the last days. I do have good memories of the Tarntawan and its welcoming policies for offs and mostly god memories of the offs. So, I join in Vinapu's hope for discounts and a more functional hotel but with the same "guest" policies.

The good news is that ggobkk knows the costs and advantages/disadvantages of Bangkok and Pattaya as well as anyone, and has graciously reported on his adventures at length in the past. Clearly there is a lot of fun to be had in Bangkok and I am always happy to read the reports of forum members who have a good time. Have a great trip, ggobkk! Sorry to be missing you this time, but with luck on your next visit.

I received this email Greeting from the Tarntawan Hotel Surawong Bangkok !! We are delighted that you have chosen to stay at Tarntawan Hotel Surawong Bangkok and we trust you are enjoying the hotel’s services and facilities. In this connection, we would like to advise you that, after delivering gracious service and memorable experiences for the past several years, we have decided that it is time for an extensive renovation and revitalization of this iconic property. As such, the hotel will temporarily close for business at the end of May 2019 to carry out the necessary work until 15 July 2019, when it will be reopened under the “imm Hotel Brand” with a new name: “imm Hotel Surawong”. We are very grateful for the many years of support all our esteemed guests have given us. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your kind understanding and cooperation and we trust we will meet again as we embark on the next chapter of this remarkable story. Please follow the project’s progress at www.immhotelsurawong.com and https://www.imperialhotels.com For any other queries or concerns, please feel able to reach out to me directly at below shown number.

absolutely agree and now , with all new or re-located bars it may be even more fun I can imagine as it's lots to discover

hopefully after renovation they will be offering good discounts to establish new name on the market

remember that vacation time comes first and report second so have fun and report when you feel like although spirit of vinapu thinks that it would be nice if you post about your first impressions from new Bangkok scene soon after first survey is done. Sorry to hear about card troubles but look at bright side , at least it happened when you were home , not travelling far away so it was easier to get help

Sounds like you may have missed the Priority feature that @TotallyOz installed in the last software upgrade. It’s a pulldown menu that lets you determine your level of notification for new posts. The default is Level 1 and it’s pretty hit-or-miss. I expect that’s what you got. Level 2 makes sure you get a notification within 30 seconds of a new post showing up. Level 3 adds a siren sound which comes through even if your computer or phone is switched off. And Level 4 hooks you into the IPAWS Emergency Alert System and all your connected phone, computer and TV devices will sound off within three seconds of a new post. That’s the one I signed up for and I’m glad I did, as I was following one of @AdamSmith's poop threads at the time. Even so, I’d be reluctant to sign up for Level 5.

For easy browsing purpose, I will repost my Serbian experience in this new thread with some new notes on Novi Sad. I was in Belgrade for four days and in Novi Sad for two. Here are my observations: 1. About the big cock size. Guys in Serbia are well hung, above the European average, but not everyone's over 20 cm. 2. I was very lucky, as my first meeting turned out to be with a 23 yo, 198 cm tall, solid 23 cm hung guy. I majored in metrology so I know what I'm talking about. By gay standard it would be easily over 10 inches. LOL. Beside being a powerful and insatiable top which fucks without any difficulty 3 to 4 times a day, he's also a passionate kisser, an eager sucker, and a slutty bottom. He stayed with me most evenings of my stay and went to Novi Sad with me. He fucked me about a dozen times and I fucked him three times. He's not an escort but a Master student. He actually tried to invite me in most occasions. You must think I'm bragging but it was true. I'm gonna be seeing him a lot more. 3. When my perfect guy went to class during the day, I met with a couple guys. Most of them under 25 yo. It's a very young community there. The cock size ranges between 15 to 20 cm. 4. One masseur charged me 30 euros for 90' professional massage, and another charged the same for 60 minutes massage plus sex. 5. The only guy I kinda paid was a dreamy 22 yo military school pre-graduate. He has one of the most perfect body I had my hands on, ruthlessly trained by four years of military training. His cock is only about 17 cm but can stay rock hard after two consecutive cum. He can fuck energetically in any twisted position of my choice and as long as I wish. He never promoted himself as an escort, but just a young guys who's always short of a couple of euros, for gas, for drinks or for food. I helped him once 20 euros plus a McDo (his choice) dinner, and once 20 euros plus a bluetooth transmitter for his car (about 15 euros). In return, he gave me two very intensive orgasms, memorable visual imprints in my mind, and two city tours in his car. All that said, I don't think I really 'paid' him. 6. Guys talk a lot on apps but meet with caution in real. A lot don't want to come to hotels. You can sense the oppression. They send out nude pics easily but face pics with hesitation. 7. One guy sauna in Belgrade, Redline, which is famous for being empty pretty much all time, also offers massage for 30 euros. 8. In the region, both Croatia and Serbia, they say hottest guys are from Montenegro. 9. Novi Sad is the second largest city in Serbia, but only about one hour drive from Belgrade. Compares to it's burgeoning and alternative big brother, Novi Sad appears quiet and laid-back, including guys there. 10. As I was there with my Belgrade boy, I didn't meet lots of guys. We had a first threesome with a young doctor, a 26 yo blond with a 18 cm well-shaped cock. Unfortunately after he saw my Belgrade boy's 23 cm dang, his own went placid. It was kinda comic how it happened. He tried to be participative though. 11. We also hosted twice a 19 yo cock-hunger boy, who was ready to suck and get fucked any time of the day. He was so needy for cocks that it made him ridiculous and cute at the same time. He wears way too much make-up to our taste though. He came multiple times while getting fucked and sucking us both times. 12. The last night, while my Belgrade boy met a sexually confused 'straight' dude in whom I'm not inserted at all, I was picked up by car by 30 yo 2 meters tall sporty giant, who used to be a professional sportsman and currently working as coach. He was extremely careful and discreet, didn't want to send face pics, but only shown on appear.in (a online video chat app/website). He fucks like a champ, uses his 21 cm but very thick cock well, and came twice in a row. Sorry I can't be more helpful as most of the time I was with my Belgrade Valentin most of the time.

Don Muang still has that same distinctive smell, so you can always go back there for it! Speaking of Don Muang, I flew from its domestic terminal recently and I was very impressed, the selection of reasonably priced relevant shops and eateries was great Similarly the revamped toilets and waiting areas with charging points puts Suvanabhumi to shame... its only when you get into the hallways before the airbridges or arrivals that you realize that you are in the same old smelly Don Muang!

I noticed Bath is going stronger lately and in few months (or in a year or so), we’ll find 300-500 bath entrance fees to bars are not as affordable as what we feel now.

I'm due to arrive next week. And after twenty years of patronage the email I received this morning quoted by ggobkk heralded the end of an era; yes, another one. I've been getting discounts for years- deservedly so in view of my loyalty- and I suspect that that will end. As to the carpets....their distinctive smell always announced to me that I'd finally arrived after fifteen hours of travel and so was strangely welcome. More modern hotels in climates like Bangkok's no longer (in my experience) have them. Rightly so.

I plead jet lag and not divine intervention..."god is good" is what I'd intended... So I genuflect to sglad for his proofreading skills.

OK, so this article in WaPo implies that Trump was actually telling the truth for once when he said last week that he was restraining Bolton's war lust. I've long since gotten to the point that I just can't bring myself to pay a whole lot of attention to the Donald's antics, but, much as I want to ignore him, war with Iran is enough to catch my eye. WaPo's sources basically say that the European's don't see much evidence that Iran is moving toward attacking U.S. assets (a really high risk stratagy for them) and our own military, intelligence and diplomatic people are divided in how certain intelligence should be interpeted. Some Europeans hint they think Bolton and Pompeo are ginning up cover for a war of choice with Iran, not unlike Bolton did with Bagdad. So does anyone here follow this shit closely enough to give an informed opinion as to whether Bolton, Pompeo and company are actually crazed enough to want a "preventive war with Iran? Or is this just WaPo and some Europeans being paranoid?

Wow, that must have been some fuck for your memories to have ventured into the divine. I take it there was also a lot of kneeling involved?

I doubt that Trump is the adult in the room, but he is not as crazy as Bolton. Sadly, I do follow Bolton's crazier ideas and find him truly scary. Bolton wants war, there should be no mistake about that.

The Wart did not know what to do. He did not know whether it would be safe to go up to this knight, for there were so many terrible things in the forest that even the knight might be a ghost. Most ghostly he looked, too, as he hoved meditating on the confines of the gloom. Eventually the boy made up his mind that even if it were a ghost, it would be the ghost of a knight, and knights were bound by their vows to help people in distress. "Excuse me," he said, when he was right under the mysterious figure, "but can you tell me the way back to Sir Ector's castle?" At this the ghost jumped, so that it nearly fell off its horse, and gave out a muffled baaa through its visor, like a sheep. "Excuse me," began the Wart again, and stopped, terrified, in the middle of his speech. For the ghost lifted up its visor, revealing two enormous eyes frosted like ice; exclaimed in an anxious voice, "What, what?"; took off its eyes--which turned out to be hornrimmed spectacles, fogged by being inside the helmet; tried to wipe them on the horse's mane--which only made them worse; lifted both hands above its head and tried to wipe them on its plume; dropped its lance; dropped the spectacles; got off the horse to search for them--the visor shutting in the process; lifted its visor; bent down for the spectacles; stood up again as the visor shut once more, and exclaimed in a plaintive voice, "Oh, dear!" The Wart found the spectacles, wiped them, and gave them to the ghost, who immediately put them on (the visor shut at once) and began scrambling back on its horse for dear life. When it was there it held out its hand for the lance, which the Wart handed up, and, feeling all secure, opened the visor with its left hand, and held it open. It peered at the boy with one hand up-- like a lost mariner searching for land--and exclaimed, "Ah-hah! Whom have we here, what?" "Please," said the Wart, "I am a boy whose guardian is Sir Ector." "Charming fellah," said the Knight. "Never met him in me life." "Can you tell me the way back to his castle?" "Faintest idea. Stranger in these parts meself." "I am lost," said the Wart. "Funny thing that. Now I have been lost for seventeen years. "Name of King Pellinore," continued the Knight. "May have heard of me, what?" The visor shut with a pop, like an echo to the What, but was opened again immediately. "Seventeen years ago, come Michaelmas, and been after the Questing Beast ever since. Boring, very." "I should think it would be," said the Wart, who had never heard of King Pellinore, nor of the Questing Beast, but he felt that this was the safest thing to say in the circumstances. "It is the Burden of the Pellinores," said the King proudly. "Only a Pellinore can catch it-- that is, of course, or his next of kin. Train all the Pellinores with that idea in mind. Limited eddication, rather. Fewmets, and all that." "I know what fewmets are," said the boy with interest. "They are the droppings of the beast pursued. The harborer keeps them in his horn, to show to his master, and can tell by them whether it is a warrantable beast or otherwise, and what state it is in." "Intelligent child," remarked the King. "Very. Now I carry fewmets about with me practically all the time. "Insanitary habit," he added, beginning to look dejected, "and quite pointless. Only one Questing Beast, you know, so there can't be any question whether she is warrantable or not." - The Once and Future King, T. H. White

Why does following a poop thread sound like maybe not the thing to do, in any given construct?

from that great report above it looks that mourning after soi Twilight death will be short lived as bars seem to be picking up the speed. And no doubt we need to keep close attention to those waiters at Freshboys. Waiting impatiently for a next installment of your adventures

I no longer work with Microsoft Word program, so I do not run my pieces through Flesch-Kincaid reading grade level. The first paragraph is actually one sentence with three points separated by semi-colons. If it were PowerPoint, they would likely be presented as three bullet points. I am going to leave it up to the reader to mentally organize the structure for their consumption, should they choose to accept the mission. Interestingly, this thread contains information about research studies. I can assure you that research summary abstracts, including all of my several publications in peer-reviewed journals, contain well beyond 64 words. As you know, the abstract sentences are often clustered together. Sometimes the meat, potatoes and veggie sides are separated out on the plate, typically four headings but nevertheless usually single-spaced. Each periodical conforms to one of a handful of stylistic preferences. I often take the time to read entire journal articles that are referenced here on the Board, beyond the news summaries. I usually do not distract myself with word count. Such reading requires more than the average 64-second attention span, a liberal estimate, that is today's trend in focused attention to written material. The 64-dollar question is: how does one package content to everyone's penultimate satisfaction? The answer is simple. One cannot.

Not judging YOU but there is a saying..."There is no fool like an old fool..."

I was in Pattaya for 3 nights / 4 days late April (first time back in over 16 months after I swore I would not return) and found the change very obvious after some time away Boyztown Toyboys - still same polite / good management but too many of the older Laos / Khmer boys still clinging on there, was steadily busy (a good bar still) but badly needs some new blood I felt, couple of the newer Khmer boys were very easy on the eye though Cupidol - definitely the most fun bar & boys in Boyztown for me, only bar I offed a couple from but one of them I'd know already for 2 years, but fairly weak management BoyzBoyzBoyz - walked inside, decided not to stop...boys in jeans and not a lot going on Dreamboys - plenty of boys on stage but felt a lot more str8 than past years, less gay boys that my gaydar could discern...but had a fun couple of drinks in there and my off from Cupidol asked to go in to say hello to a Khmer pal X-Boys - lord....still trotting out the old WWB style shows, poor mama who's known me for year assured me there were a couple of guys I would like so I nursed my G&T and grimly hung on thru the decades old candle wax shows etc...when said boys did appear I felt no stirrings in my boxer briefs and so politely departed after dispensing a few tips Jontien Complex Only made it to here one night and had a couple of drinks in Sun bar with 3 guys I knew which was funny, seemed to be more people around that in BT but still very quiet on previous years...but that's low season. Went to morlam one night and was still fun but so damn hot to be drinking beer outside in an open field However I DID still have a fun 3 days there as met up with 2 Thai, 2 Khmers, 1 Laos & 1 Myanmar in the time (2 of those were bar offs)....but most of them were working other jobs now and I've know for a few years (catching up after time away is always pleasant)...there's still fun to be had just not as much in the bars these days.

Back again in the colorful country of Colombia. First few days in Bogota. Chapinero is still a fine place to stay. I learned some additional 'do's and don'ts' about where to go at what time. But it's something you get used to. I would recommend to invite a local boy for drinks and dinner; he gives you a lot of useful info. This time I invited a guy over, I visited cabinas and sauna and went to other guys places and used a motel in Calle 58. It all went fine: I tell the boys I'm keen on securety, I don't bring valuables, if the come over I tell them I need to check them in with ID. People here understand those precautions. Next time I will use the motels more. It's a safe option we're I feel fine to take big, tall, muscle guys and were you won't disturb the neighbors if you get pounded. In my case I took a 28yo, 1.86m, fit black guy (from Cali) who drilled me from here to eternity! He fucked so hard, unbelievable! Here a sample of some boys: Nr. 1 & 2: 18yo coastal guy who was a little inexperienced but still fucked like a champ. Nr. 3 & 4 & 5: 23yo with a nerdy appearance but a massive dick, muscled body and a dominant attitude to match. IMG_3610.MP4 IMG_3614.MP4

wouldn't be easier just to refrain from drinking it or if used , just to pay for the damn bottle instead ?

Colombia - April 2019 OK, it's my turn - I just came back from Colombia. Cali #1 - I met this boy called Fabian. I found him from Milerotico, the escort website. I requested to video-chat with him before deciding to get him to my hotel. He had no problem doing that. We chatted a bit over the video and he visited me. He didn't kiss or suck mine, but let me suck his. He is a top/versatile, but he let me fuck him. He was actually a great bottom! A very sexy and cute colombiano twink, 20 years old. I paid 90.000 pesos, which is about 30 dollars. Cali #2 - another one from Milerocico, MIchel. 22 years old colombian boy. I checked over video-chat and he travelled from Pereira for over night, I gave him 100 USD for the entire night. We went to the bars, restaurant then came back to my hotel. He is a good looking boy, but actually I wasn't so much turned on, maybe the same day after I met Fabial, who wa much more my type and sexy? In Cali, this Michel boy showed me around the gay bar area, but it wasn't so lively, maybe it was because Semana Santa? Not many people there. Pereira - The boys above, Cali #2, Michel, guided me around the town, and we went to a couple of bars. I didn't get him to my hotel. In the gay bar, I was approached by a couple of colombians, perhaps it was quite rare for them to have Japanese (or Asian) to turn up in the gay bars in the little town like Pereira. I was actually expecting another boy to meet up with me, who I found on CB. He is more Euro type colombian. A sexy boy but he couldn't manage to meet me on the day I stayed in Pereira. It was a big loss of me. I wanted to see him mainly in this trip. Medellin - the first night in Medellin I got totally wet by the rain outside, and I got sick from next day. It was Easter Week (Semana Santa), and I found only boy at Club Tobi. He wasn't my type and he wanted 150.000 pesos for normal massage and 200.000 for sex, so I left there. Only two more customers, that's all. I chatted over the Whatsapp with the boys I got through CB, but the good looking ones I couldn't meet up there. One of the CB boys introduced me his friend, but this one was too big for me, as I prefer twinky type. Bogotá - I tried Grindr first time in Colombia. To my surprise, so many guys tapped me or directly offered having a sex, which had never happened in my entire life anywhere...like, 30, 40 guys at a time. I chose one of the guys, and I went to his address, but somehow he didn't show up. Or, he saw me from a distance and decided not to see me. Terrible. I met another boy, but his photos were completely different from what I saw in person. I didn't go further. I wanted to tri Club Gigolo, but it was closed. It is open only Friday night. Before I leave for airport to catch a night flight to Santiago de Chile, I visited St Moritz sauna. I met one masseur who was quite cute but nice body and I got his normal massage for 65.000 pesos, he offered me further service for another 20.000 but I didn't feel like it with him. I was in the locker room and was approached by another masseur, who is from Venezuela. He was soooooo good looking and great body I was so turned on, but I really needed to leave the venue for airport, so I just touched him a bit and left there. Next time I would love to stay more in St Moritz, where you can find various type of boys - normal massage 60.000 and with sex 80.000, a good value. Unfortunately, most boys are only top, though some extra money could allow you to fuck them, I guess.. So, in conclusion, I should have used Grindr as soon as I arrived in Colombia. I don't know why I didn't do so..The boys in milerotico are quite attractive and they charge approx. 30 US dollars for a session. They don't mind video-chat beforehand. The boys on CB, they are quite happy to give me their contact number for Whatsapp. This time I couldn't meet anyone through CB, but still, I will try them another time if any... Locality-wise, I liked people in Cali and Pereira, they were really friendly and open, although people in general are all very nice in Colombia. They are all very nice for strangers, in streets, bars, clubs, anywhere. I liked it.

Might I also suggest that your trip reports to any country are very welcome and in the Main Forum whenever or where ever you have the time to post even if short stories!
