From The Guardian Traditional Thai massage gains Unesco heritage status (photo from AFP website) The body-folding, sharp-elbowed techniques of Thai massage have been added to Unesco’s prestigious heritage list. Originating in India and practised in Thailand for centuries, the massage was popularised when a special school opened in the 1960s to train massage therapists from around the world. The addition of nuad Thai to Unesco’s list of “intangible cultural heritage” practices was “historic”, said the Thai delegate at the Unesco meeting in Bogotá, Colombia. “It helps promote the practice of Nuad Thai locally and internationally,” he said. From upscale Bangkok spas and Phuket beachfronts to modest street-side shophouses, nuad Thai is ubiquitous, and an hour of the back-straightening discipline can cost as little as $5. Doctors and monks were said to have brought these methods 2,500 years ago to Thailand, passing its secrets from master to disciple in temples and later within families. Under Thailand’s King Rama III in the 19th century, scholars engraved their knowledge of the field onto the stones of the famed Wat Pho temple in Bangkok.Its nuad Thai school, which has trained more than 200,000 massage therapists who practice in 145 countries, opened in 1962. Today, a therapist at a top-end spa can charge around $100 an hour in Thailand, and two or three times more in London, New York or Hong Kong where the Thai massage brand is booming. But the training is “demanding”, says Chilean Sari, a professional masseuse who travelled to Bangkok to learn the discipline. “The technique is very precise; there are so many things to be aware of,” the 34-year-old said. The teachings focus on directing blood circulation around problem areas to solve muscle aches – sometimes drawing winces from clients unaccustomed to the force applied. Studies have shown it can help relieve back pain, headaches, insomnia and even anxiety. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/dec/13/traditional-thai-massage-gains-unesco-heritage-status

When we arrived in Salvador, the Uber driver told us that safety was good in Salvador. When we discussed between us in English of restaurants where we could go, he understood that we were speaking of Tropical Paradise. He interrupted in portuguese saying that he thought that the restaurant was closed. Then, as if it was the most common thing in the world he added that he thought that the owner was in jail because he killed someone ! I asked if he had killed a customer and he answered : "oh, no !! Just a waiter !!". Good introduction to Salvador lol rsrsrs

Taking off from Rio Santos Dumont may offer you lovely views over the city. This happens when take off is facing Pao de Acucar (most of time). You must be seated on the right of the plane (seats F) and avoid to be seated on the wing since the plane will have a sharp turn to the left to avoid Pao de Acucar. Today, weather in Rio was not so good, but we had a great view on Salvador when we arrived there. When the weather is goid and when you are lucky, below is the gorgeous scenery you could see after take off Salvador

one day it will be somebody brave enough to nominate deservedly Thai entertainment zones of Patpong, Nana, Cowboy, Walking Street and Jomtien as World Heritage sites and THAT will be reason to celebrate . And no , I'm not making fun here, think about that, out of 100 people who know about Pattaya there;s may be 5 who know what Ayuthaya is, already on the Unseco list

The best internet site to get information on Salvador is Salvadordabahia.com It gives all events in Salvador de Bahia plus comments. There is an English version giving part of information. Comprehensive information, only in Portuguese. Thanks to information from this site, we went to Igreja Santa Luzia where fidels were waiting to clean and cure their eyes with the holy water and wipe tham with a cloth with the name of the Saint. Procession with os filhos de Ghandi This afternnon, we had planed a visit with Fernando but he is sick. So we are on our own.

Trump is the biggest mother-fucking asshole to ever hit the White House, and that's another reason why this spawn of the devil must go. What president in his right mind would make public fun of a teenage girl with Asperger's syndrome? Our Mafia boss president needs to feel some serious pain.

Hunt of boys in Salvador with green eyes has started !

Acyr has been involved in three recently failed or failing saunas. No matter the reason, MM has shuttered. Manhattan Rios was a complete bomb. Lions is on life support. You may think he’s a great guy to hang out with, but I would take his advice on a sauna business about as quickly as I’d trust Trump to run a casino.

Tuesday 117 Wednesday Pointe. Lots of people at both places. Long line at Pointe (15 persons waiting !). Only 10 cabins at Pointe is not sufficient (there are 20 in 117). Great time at both places with cute A. and Capoeirista Rafael. R. has a lovely smile, sexy face and muscular ass from Capoeira. Great preparation of trip to Salvador which starts today !

strange my day usually starts by checking if guy sleeping beside still has erection

Not saying the contrary, what I am saying is that independently from the age limit, the kind of boy you're talking about (competitive athletic physiques), is going to disappear from saunas and also from the internet's escort sites too in Brazil. It's been happening since 2 years ago moreless. The masculine guy with a competitive athletic physique is not anymore going to be the standard of gay beauty in Brazil (thankfully for me)...especially in Sao Paulo. IMHO. I really don't get the next period, and since you're referring to me, I'd reply by saying: "The very thought that there are men, who are not accepting an opinion different from their one, is quite disturbing to me". ...you're making wrong assumptions about something I've never said. If you read carefully you'd see that I've never made the equation you're talking about and I was tallking about garotos, not about customers. Just after i said: "30 it's a bit too restrictive". FYI...I am just a bit over the 30yrs old mark...so no retirement for me yet :(. Since we're talking about garotos... yes, If you're brazilian and you've passed the 35/38yrs old mark and you're still working as a garoto inside saunas....chances are that you're beauty has faded or is fading away (to don't say "you're ugly"), comparing to the average of the working boys. There might be rare exceptions. The thing is: It's a fact that there are some working boys in Lagoa (the only sauna in the whole Brazil where I've seen so many "forniture" guys as @pauleiro would say) who are ugly, i cannot find a better word, and 100% of them is very ahead with their age compared to the average boy. And since I'm paying not only the guys but the also the entrance fee for a sauna with rentboys, I'd like to see that if there's a new facility with a smaller room for the boys, this room will be reserved to the youngest and best looking ones. Not to the ones I'd should be paid by to have sex with them. @Tomcal There's no legal problem. As they can ban a boy or a customer from entering because of his "bad behaviour" (ie.), they can forbid the entrance depending on the age too. No one is going to sue Rodolfo, there will never be any evidence and/or a single court involved in a similar case. We're still talking about brazilian saunas in the end :D.

Excuse my inexperience, but what's with all the "bad press" about Eastern Europeans? I had my best time with Eastern Europeans in Zurich: at Paragonya and outside of Paragonya.
