Maybe it's because I'm disheartened from reading a lot of disappointing news both at home and abroad. In any case I find that this feel good story provided some comfort and a welcomed break. From Reuters / Bangkok Post British musician Paul Barton plays the piano for monkeys that occupy abandoned historical areas in Lop Buri province on Saturday. (Reuters photo) LOP BURI: While on tour in central Thailand, British musician Paul Barton has been mobbed by unruly audiences that tug his hair, steal his music and climb over his piano. Barton is a rock star to hundreds of hungry wild monkeys that he hopes his music can calm, at a time when Thailand's coronavirus-induced tourism hiatus means fewer visitors to feed them, and less funds for their welfare. "We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly. And when they eat properly, they will be calmer and will not be aggressive," said Barton, 59, a long-time Thailand resident. Barton has played at four venues in Lop Buri, a province famous for its marauding monkeys, including at an ancient Hindu temple, a hardware store and a derelict cinema. The macaques are instantly drawn as he plays Greensleeves, Beethoven's Fur Elise and Michael Nyman's Diary of Love, some sharing his stool, others climbing onto his shoulders and touching his head.

Love By Chance 2: A Chance To Love (2020) I agree! I don't know what to say. There were so many couples with potential for an interesting story, but it was a disappointment. Most of the Tin - Can story was a repetition of season one, did they forget that Tin - Can already met in season 1 ??? Same with Techno - Kengkla with Techno running away from his feelings for 13 episodes, it gets boring. And let's not talk about Ae - Pete; Pete absent and Ae depressed all the time. At least from E9 the story got more interesting with Tins family story and the revealings about Tul - Gonhin. Too late to make the series a good one. I liked Gonhin, I new the actor from Slamdance (non BL) and would like to see him more often: Every series has always at least one good song, like this one from season 1: "Wish" by Boy Sompob

I am an admirer of Filipino Guys, so I might be prejudice?? BUT... I found the PH BoyLove Series more REAL!! They are dealing specifically with Covid, where none of the Thai Series are doing so. But they are also address the real difficulties of Gay identity in the Philippines. The issue of what will your Family or Dad think is central in the PH. And I am happy to see some guys who are accepted and understand the problems that other guys, like Karl, are facing. The production quality of the PH BL Series does vary. But with major TV Stuidos and directors getting involved several are well done. In particular I found it amazing that "Gameboys" was all shot remotely, actually using ZOOM. Anyway, almost too many Series to follow these days. I also like to have the entire Series on my HD and watch one at a time. HAHAHA

when comes to music for me "Until we meet again" is absolute top of all BL series I watched so far

The adventure is starting with no issues so far. Traveling was uneventful, I guess thanks to the reduced air traffic. Despite social distancing and a boarding process that slows down things, we suffered no delays in our flights. It was interesting to see airports like DCA and Houston Semi deserted. Airlines have a reduced number of flights, so passengers show up on time for boarding, but very few people is there out of that time. Many shops are closed. In Houston, which is a huge domestic and international hub, I would say I saw 25% of the people that I had seen one year ago. You can also notice differences in the way local authorities are handling the pandemic. DCA chairs throughout all the airport are signaled with social distancing warnings, and you are not allowed to sit next to someone else. Not in Houston. Masks use was mandatory and universally respected in both places. Although airports were empty, my flights were full. I had received many emails from UA the last three days warning me about my flight from DC to Houston, and offering me a reschedule with no charge. However, I was lucky and even when the flight was almost full, I did not have anyone seated next to me. For my longer flight from Houston to Rio I was not so lucky. I did have an annoying passenger, so I opted for the earphones to ignore him, and tried to sleep as much as I could. Getting an Uber in the airport was super easy, traffic is also reduced in Brazil. As this time I am statying in a place further than usual, the bill was almost 90 Rials. My Airbnb is nice and comfortable, although the rooms are a bit too small. But we have a nice terrace where I am now having breakfast and writing while Will is still sleeping. I was still unpacking when Diego called me to join me before noon. We chatted and played, and played and chat for many hours, as we had plenty to catch up. We had a break to fill the fridge and other essentials, and I found out the only con of my location. We. Do not have a nearby good supermarket and the number of shops is extremely poor compared to my previous locations in Copacabana. However, the surroundings are beautiful, open, with a lot of wild nature, and no crowds. Pandemic perfect. It was very nice re encountering Diego. Our sex is not what I consider good sex, but it is very sweet and hot. We are more friends who fall into oral play than lovers. Late at night Will Prado joined us. We all were very tired, so we did not have full sex, but a lot of chatting. I am planning to get them to perform in front of the camera and wanted them to get acquainted and comfortable with each other. Once Diego left to join his girlfriend, almost at midnight, Will and I had a full hot session. Both of us were exhausted (I had slept very little and very uncomfortably during my trip, he had been filming porn the whole day), so it was short, intense, and straight to the point. He is beautiful and did not disappoint. My plan is one more day of relaxing and doing nothing, probably just crossing the street to go to the beach. We will start working on pictures and video this Monday. We will probably have other guys joining us, but I do not know yet who. Rhyheim Shabazz is also here, he is flying in a bunch of American performers to join his Brazilian crew, and I am invited, so I expect to have my first porn backstage experience. And Will is getting up, so I am stopping here for now.

Walking around the gay Bangkok area is getting more fun. The boys that were the hosts at Hot Male Beer Bar took over a bar downstairs and now the view from that bar is excellent as the street traffic is fun to see. Much like the gay beer bars that use to dominate Soi Twilight, it seems many of those lady bars that so many worried about are beginning to close and gay ones are opening in their place. It was fun to see so many new boys at the beer bars. And, if like me, you like some tattoos, the beer bar nearest to Screwboys has some amazing looking manly men working. As I walked by, I had several offers of sexy lads offering to "take care of all of me." I wasn't sure if that meant they would take care of me that night or that I was so big they would take time to take care of each part of my body. In either case, it sounded good and I'll plan to revisit soon. Hot Male had very few boys on stage. When I went in, only three boys there so I left. Fresh Boys had about 20 guys on stage and like previous visit, mostly hot sexy twinks. Screwboys had about 10 guys but it only takes one and I liked one that went from Freshboys to Screwboys and Jupiter Boy and I took him home for a 3way. Jupiter Boy said he sucks dick better than any lady. I wasn't sure if my feelings should be hurt or agree with him so I just smiled with a twinkle in my eye that said, "don't fucking ruin this for me." I was told Friday night was much busier and tons of customers. I didn't see a lot of customers in the GoGo bars but did in the beer bars. It was also a rainy night and that always keeps the boys at home. The mamasan told me many Vietnam boys are back in town but working at the massage parlors as opposed to the bars. I asked why and she said police are now checking passports and if they are in the country legally. I did jump onto Hornet, Grindr and Jack'd and there were tons of boys on all the apps and I noticed a few Viet boys from the old Screwboys. I didn't have long in the area so I didn't message anyone as Jupiter Boy and I were happy with the boy we chose from Screwboys. Gay Bangkok is coming back to life. More boys and more beer bars. When this Covid things die down and all of you who haven't been able to visit LOS come back, you are going to be happy with the changes. I know the boys are all waiting patiently for you! In the meantime, I'll try to do my best to entertain two or three each week. And, as you can see, Jupiter Boy and I are still going strong. He doesn't want me to play without him but is quiet happy to play with him which works well for me as well.

Are you putting the condom on your little head?

Hurray, @numazu! Thanks for your thoughtful, sexy, insightful and extremely well written update!

I agree that sister was too much! Nevertheless the best series I have seen this year, a must see!!! Yes, Vlad is cute and he has a sexy deep voice. Listen to his "like a virgin" - cover (not in the series): Now continuiing with "Gameboys", and after watching 3 episodes I am starting to like it ...

Not a beach read?

I do believe that will happen soon. And, if so, I'll bet Thailand opens up non-restricted travel to all. BUT.... Having visited Central World this week and saw graffiti on the streets that was vulgar and aimed at the monarchy, I could easily see Thailand holding off on things until everything here gets a bit more quiet.

Or just stay wherever you are waiting patiently for a vaccine

That sight brings back good memories. Safe travels!

I'd love it if you were able to meet up with Edward pacasso and report back https://www.timtales.com/videos/eduardo-fucks-skyy-knox/ https://www.planetromeo.com/hunq/EduPicasso28cm/travelling/11237457 span widgetspan widget

Incredibly evocative updates as always Numazu!! I'm curious – how upfront, if at all, are you with GPs like Paulo about the medium to long term relationship prospects they have with you? Having read your updates since the beginning, I know there's a shelf life here. Just wondering how transparent you are in that regard?

The B Word: Sao Paulo Edition – … is good for the gander So maybe I overdid it with laying on the guilt about Paulo making me wait for 5 hours alone, while he sexed up 6 guys at Lagoa last night. So much so that he said that he was willing to allow me to have one programa tonight. I knew he didn’t take this decision lightly. He gave me many conditions: that I try to get the guy while he is in a programa so he does not see me going with the guy (jealousy?), that I was not to ask for the guy’s Whatsapp (how can he prohibit this if he is not in the room with us?), and to make sure that I won’t be too tired to cum with him after the night is over (oh yeah, this one is easy). Setting expectations is important in any successful relationship. Meeting them, however, is another matter. Saturday night at Lagoa. We arrive a little after 6, and the place was half empty. Paulo and I settle in on a table at the bar area. Paulo hydrates with water for the night ahead. I hydrate with vodka. Across the room, a weird looking guy was looking at us, and then walked up to us and shook both our hands. After a few pleasantries the guy asked Paulo if he could join him after he was done with me. I nod to Paulo to let him know he could go now. It was that quick. The guy was with another guy in the table, and with Paulo they seemingly had a nice conversation going. I wonder what they were talking about. Meanwhile, as the night wore on, and people started streaming in, I grew more excited. Not because I was “allowed” to do a programa with a guy, nope. I have done that so many times already this trip. It's that I had to do it under the BF’s nose. It is always more exciting if an act is somewhat forbidden. It adds to the experience. At least for me. So I had to make this one programa count. If I were to get someone tonight, he had to be “better” than the BF. At least in the superficial sense. More handsome. Taller. More muscular. Bigger penis. Better fuck. All the superlatives you can think of. Otherwise, why bother paying for it? Which was a tall order in these parts, at least nowadays. It is no secret to anyone that most of the “gods” that frequented the old Lagoa do not go to the saunas anymore, and have turned to websites as their main source of income. Even as a more recent Brazil tourist (since December 2017), I have to admit that I do not see those “gods” in huge numbers anymore, like at the start of my trips in 2017 and 2018. That’s probably why a guy that looks like Paulo was in such high demand. And it is probably why I had a hard time finding a “better” Paulo substitute to worship, than the god I was going home with tonight. That was until a familiar sight came along. He was easily 6’4 or taller. Giant muscles. You could not miss this guy, even in a sauna like Lagoa. And I certainly recognized him from a previous trip. I could not remember when or where. It was good timing too. Paulo was nowhere to be found. @floridarob knows this about me: I do not waste any time. I flag the guy down and he sits next to me. He tells me his name, “Henrique, prazer.” He shakes my hand, in a sort of formal way. Not warm, but I can overlook it considering he was a mountain of a man. Up close, I’d say his biggest assets were his gigantic muscles. He was handsome, not in a classical way, but the kissable lips and soulful eyes were two big things for me. While we did our small talk, I admired his muscles. Man, his overall look harkened back to the days of the sauna Adonises. His muscles were huge, and I asked permission for a helping of his biceps. He flexed, and showed me just how big they were, and invited me for a squeeze. That was it. There was no escaping it. Once you touch the sinews of those muscles, couples with how smooth his brown skin was, no one would be able to say no. So I asked. 150, he said. Pretty standard price. I was expecting more for this quality. I survey the room. Paulo was still out. We head over to the suites level to get a room. Towels. Condoms and lube. Keys. And we were off. He grabs the keys from me to open the door to our suite. He has probably done this a thousand times. He knew the drill, almost too well. First he turned on the TV to show straight porn. Then he turns on the air for ventilation. Then he puts his keys and phone on the shelf on the corner. Then he takes off his towel and folds it neatly at the top of the bed. Then he reclines on the bed, stroking his cock, waiting for me to make my next move. Alright, this was kind of too business like for me. I take off all my clothes right away, which is not what I do usually, as I usually let the flow of the programa lead me to this inevitable naked place, but since there was no flow at all, I figured that I should just get this over with. I lay beside him, feeling the warmth of his body on mine. He makes some overtures, touching my body, massaging my back. I try to kiss him, and he kisses back with a semi-closed mouth. Oh ok, he was one of those. I tried to press the issue, he didn’t seem to like kissing me much. The saving grace at this point tho, was his body, which was a work of art, like a Greek marble statue, except for the cock, which was all too Brazilian: uncut, long, and fucking thick. I took my time admiring, and touching, the merchandise. He flexed, he grabbed his cock for maximum effect. I take it by the hand, and then of course by mouth. After a while of this, he reaches for the condoms and lube to get ready. “Oh no,” I say. “No way all this is gonna fit in me. You are too huge.” He insisted, and broke open the packets to put the condom on and apply lube. He hands me the lube packet, so I could ready myself. “No! I can’t! It’s too big!” He shakes his head. “Don’t worry. I’m an expert. I know how to ease it in.” He has me lay on my side, and he slides behind me. He takes the lube packet and applies the lube himself. “Mmmmm,” he moans. He puts a finger in, and then two, as he jacks himself off. He seemed to take his time warming me up. And then he puts it in. Very slowly, with some nibbles on my neck and cheek. And then, just like magic, he was all in. How did he do that? It didn’t even hurt. He slowly thrusts. It felt really good. I raise one leg for easier access. I feel him get it all in, with his body close to me. The thrusts suddenly become faster and deeper. And all of sudden, it was like a switch just flipped. His free hand groped my dick and he was able to get it back to life. As he thrusted, he then turns my face to him and he kisses me, deeply, all the while drilling me. As if the passion that was missing in the beginning suddenly joined us this very moment. Since there was a height discrepancy, he was able to get me to some positions that I have never tried before. He clearly knew how to do it. And he seemed to enjoy it as well, as we eager to throw me around. And the reason why he needed the AC on: he sweated during fucking. We were both drenched in sweat before long. Finally, he pulled out. He asked me if he wanted me to cum. I said sure. 200? Of course. So he pulls out, takes out the condom, and jacks off. We cum in succession. Afterwards we talk. He tells me he is a Carioca (of course, why wouldn’t he be), and usually goes to Club 117 in Rio, but was in SP because the sauna was still too slow in Rio. I told him that that was where I saw him before. I remember him on a few trips to 117. I told him whenever I saw him, I wanted to talk to him, but I always got intimidated. He admitted the same thing. He’s also seen me a few times, but he was not sure if I spoke Portuguese, and his English was not so good, so he didn't dare approach me for an introduction. He actually turned out to be a good and humble guy, belying his fairly bombastic and intimidating exterior. He didn’t seem to be a clock watcher. I wasn’t watching the clock either, but I knew I had to end the programa, because there was Paulo to contend with. As we prepared to go back out, I told Henrique that I didn’t have an idea that he would be this passionate. And such a good fuck. He shot back with the same thing: that he didn’t have a clue he would actually enjoy himself with me. He said he can pretend only to a point. Work was easier for him if he actually liked the sex. Maybe it was a line that he always said to clients so he could get more money. Whatever, it worked for me. I gave him an extra 50. I get back to the main seating area. I was surprised to see Paulo, fully dressed, sitting at one of the tables, checking his phone. I sit next to him. He looks at me, not saying anything. “Whats up?” I ask. He was silent. “What’s wrong.” I see he was trying to find the words to say. Finally he says: “You were gone a long time with that guy.” I was surprised. "What guy?" I ask. "You know, tall and big." “You saw me with the guy?” He said yes, he saw us go into our suite. He said he was just leaving a suite with his first client when he saw us. “Is that a problem?” I asked him. He explained that it was fine, and we talked about this after all. What bothered him was that I took a long time. Why would a programa take that long? He asked me. So long that Paulo was able to snare a second client, and finish that programa, and I was still in the suite with Henrique. He decided to not work anymore and just wait for me so we can spend the rest of the night together. But he said I took long in there, and he was waiting a while. I apologized. I guess it was his turn to wait tonight. I certainly did not mean to make him wait. After a while, Paulo seemed to calm down. He told me about his night. Two clients. The second one was 200 reais. The first one was more interesting tho. That weird guy that called on him was some sort of “pimp” and he procured boys for rich clients and he gets a cut of the proceeds. Which meant that these clients were more upscale than usual. Politicians. Businessmen. He asked for Paulo’s contacta and asked if he would forward some sexy pics to him to forward to his client base, and get him some clients. Paulo said he would forward some pics to the guy when we got home tonight. And the pimp was with one of his “client base”. And the client paid more than most. Paulo he said he got 250 from the guy, and an extra 50 from the pimp. Not bad, I told Paulo. 1450 reais total for two days of work. Paulo told me that that is what he usually earns in a week in Fortaleza or Recife. He was very happy with his two-day haul. We enjoyed the rest of the night. Making out and telling each other stories and making fun of the others in the sauna (bitchy bitchy). And we had another night in SP as well, but instead of working, Paulo said that he would take a break from working, as he had all the money he needed this trip, and just to spend the night with me, not with clients. We still went to Lagoa taht last night, which enabled us to have an indoor space to make out with abandon, and drink with abandon. He got some proposals that night from clients, but he said no. He also had previous SP clients text him, offering him a second chance to earn money. He said no as well. He was giving up a lot of money. But he was content. Overall, I’d say that Sao Paulo has proven to be pretty lucrative for Paulo. It might be because he is the new kid in town, but his first time in Lagoa produced a good haul. He said he has never earned this much money in such a short time. And he was glad to know that he could strike it out here if he wanted. He understands that his looks and body won’t look that way forever, and while he hates doing this as a profession, due to his limited prospects, he is willing to take advantage of this tiny window of opportunity that he can earn as much money as he can. He know how lucky he was, versus his less attractive countrymen who have as limited prospects as he does, especially during this pandemic. But he also admits loving working in NE Brazil, and prefers to live there instead of the faster, and way more expensive Sao Paulo or Rio. “I can get away with cheaper rent, transportation, and living expenses in Fortaleza or Recife. But here in Sao Paulo, I have to contend with high rent and the traffic.” He admits the stress one feels when one is a GP. All the constant and tense adjustments he has to make, to suit a variety of moods and demands of each client, will take a toll on anyone at some point. Having a calming beach to go to, coupled with the northeastern ease of living and more casual (i.e. lawless) atmosphere, is very important for Paulo’s well being. Next… Garoto. Com. Local.

This story describes what it's like siting at a table with you.....are you a GP? You know he came during one or more of the programas, probably for the hot shot Dr.

This video is four days old now, but it's a worthwhile, intelligent discussion about the state of things. I have always loved working with Katie Couric, and she's no slouch here with good questions. Her only guest is former Acting Solicitor General for the Obama Administration, Neal Katyal, whom I also adore.

Now that Biden has taken Georgia, for a total 306 electoral votes, watch the Trump train come to a slow halt. In the latest legal defeat, a Michigan judge rejected the request to halt vote certifications. The Republicans can demand recounts all they like, and they can pay for them, but it doesn't look like any substantive changes will be forthcoming. The numbers just aren't close enough to cause anyone concern. "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result," the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees said. Trump's obnoxious, insecure, childish behavior is remarkably sad for a 74-year-old asshole millionaire. The longer he takes to concede or acknowledge his defeat, the more petty and small he looks. IMO, if he truly believes there's no such thing as bad publicity, then let him keep up his insane behavior and continue to bury his brand in slime and disgrace. I don't see any of his sycophant voters buying memberships at Mar-a-Lago. And if Trump thinks he wants to compete with the Murdoch assholes, then let's see how that funding, talent, and executive search goes. Maybe Trump can ask Oprah how easy it is to build a successful network.

According to the Royal Thai Embassy in Vienna it is indeed true that you can now travel to Thailand, at least for Austrian residents, so this is likely true for whole European Union, but you will have to use a different embassy. https://www.thaiembassy.at/en/?option=com_flexicontent&view=item&cid=21:consular-services&id=395:tourist-visa&Itemid=163&preview=1 You "only" need 1 a turist visa "TR" (for 60 days, extension for 30 days possible) - with the 15.000 € bank account requirement 2 health insurance 3 online registration for certificate of entry you play with the first steps here https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/ 4 booking of asq hotel 5 flight booking 6 with 3+4+5 you will get a certificate of entry 7 covid test max 72h before departure 8 fit to fly certificate max 72h before departure (it seems there is a list of doctors who can do this ...) => with 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 +8 you should be able to fly to Thailand It is still rather inconvenient: booking of asq hotel I have no idea but I expect them to be booked out rather quick, there arent to many of them ... it seems the best options for asq bookings still demand full payment a least 1 week before arrival (or are there better offers regarding late payment, can anyone mention specific hotels?), that would be a problem if - covid test is positive - you wouldnt get the fit for fly certificate - flight is cancelled / postponed: this needs further investigation, it seems flights can be booked for every day because airlines need cash, but most of them will be cancelled ... some airlines close to bankruptcy ... how is Thai Airways doing ? - on entry they check you for symptoms, whatever that means, but probably at least temperature check and a look down your throat. What happens if they come to the conclusion that you have symptoms? Probably go to hospital and then goodbye asq hotel - 14 days quarantine in ASQ-Hotel: ok this could be managable by bringing tons of work for the 2 weeks and also by watching bl movies of course. I guess you are basically locked in your room ... I wonder in case of a fire, is your life more important or keeping Thailand covid free? - And then there is that tracking app for the rest of the holiday. But the reward for this torture is: holiday in a basically Covid-free environment, while Europe is going crazy hot sunny weather instead of fog, rain and snow no swarms of other turists good looking men

Axiom, I am curious to meeting you. I am wondering whether you speak as you write. I am not good at detecting styles in English, but you sound to me like the captain of a British war ship from the XVI century.

I'd reverse that order
