Flew Singapore airlines flight from New York- Singapore, used miles for Business class- was a bucket list item- Longest flight in the world, solid 19hrs. I liked it better than dividing the trip in Tokyo, got way more sleep and then a 1:45 flight from Singapore to BKK instead of a 6-7 hr flight from Narita. Went to VIP immigration section upon arrival, was kind of full, I followed a Thai guy that just snaked his way in between everyone with kids, they were too busy taking care of the kids, that we went unnoticed. My bag was 1st one out and found Mike Taxi right away and off to Pattaya we went. Staying at the Ambiance, booked this a few months ago and got 5 nights in a king superior room for $97 usd....comfortable beds, nice towels and sheets, convenient to everything and the receptionists all know me.... Took awhile to defrost the frozen mini fridge, so lost whatever time gained in BKK, ADD about certain things 🙄 Walked around, stopped by Paradise massage and a few of the guys caught my attention....the one that spoke English, wasn't the best looking, but had something about him that attracted me to him, I asked him for a sample of his massage and it was really good....I told him maybe tomorrow, and went to Dreamboys to see a few guys I know to check on them. With the price quoted at Paradise, all in...seemed like a better deal than the go-go bars, so I asked the guy that since it was almost closing time, if he'd come to my hotel, obviously he said yes, he hadn't had a client in 2 days....( he's not THAT ugly). Did EVERYTHING that I asked, only didn't give me the full hr massage that he promised, so I explained to him that's how to lose repeat business, over stupid shit. He promised to make it up to me if we go again, let's see...I'd go with him again. Grindr is very active...it's 5 am, I'm ready to sleep....tomorrow my plan is Jomtien about 2pm for manicure/massage on the beach then try Sansuk about 5-6pm and maybe another round with the Paradise sauna guy, or someone else from there. Since I'm not very good with trip reports, I'm going to try to report a little every day....see how that goes. Pic is of the Singapore seat made into a bed, other than Gulf Airlines first class....I think this is the best bed for flights to Asia.

Olddaddy - some time ago you wrote something in one of your posts that really bothered me - something like - what do all of the farang retirees do in Jomtien to pass the day - sit on their balconies looking out onto the sea..... Well, I moved to Jomtien from the EU in September 2022 as a new retiree - and after 6 months I became bored looking out onto the sea from my balcony. That was the HARDEST part of being a new retiree - how to repurpose ourselves? What is our new purpose in life. Out of the blue - my ex-boss from the EU called me on a day that I was really bored - he asked me what I was doing. I replied, I am busy counting endless seashells on the seashore..... He laughed and said to me - "Do you want a NEW chance to use your brain and be intellectual again?" I jumped at the opportunity and I replied with a resounding = YES. So, within a month I was back in the EU in early 2023 on a 4.5 month short retiree consulting contract using my brain and it felt so good to have purpose again..... After night after night sitting in the Supertown Jomtien Complex sitting and drinking I was rapidly becoming more and more depressed and becoming negative - and that is not me - I am usually a happy lucky guy with a lot of energy. The Supertown Jomtien Complex is made in a way that does not allow us to expend energy - the mantra is: "falang sit - falang drink" ==> and it you go against this program they get upset as I tried on many occasions to stand and even dance....The preferred Supertown program is for us to be sedentary and to spend our money....and I find this program SO boring and not stimulating.... So Olddaddy - I did not like what you wrote some time ago about retiring in Jomtien as I was SO confident that I would find a way after my new retirement to BOTH use my little brain down on the 3rd leg (which I did and often with great satisfaction) --> but the joy from using your 3rd leg brain does NOTHING for stimulating the real brain. Anyone who is already retired in Jomtien - what is your secret to find ways to stimulate your brain to give it intellectual input and challenges??

I'm ready to go to sleep, so I better write this while I still remember what I did today, wasn't much, but details can get lost during sleep. Woke up about noon today, early for me. Ordered Thai food from a little hole in the wall, near Ambiance on Grab. $2usd delivered and I'd put the food against ANY thai restaurant I've been to. Went to Jomtien beach about 3pm, with the sole reason to get a manicure/pedicure.....a mamasan that used to work at Cupidol does amazing work and I get my change when I pay. Then she recommended a massage guy for a foor/leg massage...300 baht for 1 hr, he was decent and a good conversationalist. After the beach I headed to Sansuk sauna, was Sunday about 530pm and was quite busy. This is only my 2nd time there, my 1st time wasn't busy, however was mostly Asian guys, had fun. Last night, almost all foreigners, blah.....I did hook up with a Canadian Chinese guy, with a tiny dick....I knew how this was going to end....was like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. He couldn't stay hard, I didn't feel a thing, we both made excuses, I told him I lived in Brasil, he didn't get it, lmao. Headed to Nice Boys after there, with not that much cash. I had more in my room, but don't like going out with too much, in case it gets lost. The drunk guy that's usually obnoxious about asking to buy him drinks was either on the wagon or it was too early, but he's just as obnoxious sober. There were 3 guys I was interested in and could have gone with just about any of them, was interesting. One 20 yr old short guy, was def my type. He sat with a Japanese customer, they messed around a little and then customer left, without giving a tip, I was told 🙄 The lady mamasan advised against trying to go with him, she said he was new and too shy..... but did I listen, no!!! Since I was short on cash, they said I could pay the boy his off and his fee all at once, when I got to my hotel.....we never made it that far. Once we lft the bar, the kid wanted to take a moto taxi to Ambiance. I told him it's closeby and we could walk. His face looked like I just asked him to donate a kidney, lol He REFUSED to walk....good thing I hadn't paid the off yet. I went back in and explained what happened, none of the other boys could believe it and a few said "I'll walk with you". I was annoyed by this point, so I walked to my hotel for more cash. Went to Dreamboys to talk to a few people outside, they are always so friendly. Nothing was too intersting for me, so I walked by the same massage shop as last night. The more we got into details about where to do it in the shop or my room, seemed to be getting too complicated and I left, telling the guy from last night, we'll talk later. Then I went to the massage place on South Pattaya road, I think it's called Paradise? A couple of guys were outside and I acted like it was my 1st time in a place like that. Massage sample from 2 guys that I was choosing from...then I made my choice. Half way thru the massage, came the "do you want me to suck you?" question. He was super cute, for me, but I only wanted a chuck wow and he agrees. He pulled his pants down, great ass and a child sized penis, oh well....he was impressed with the size of my dick, which isn't saying much coming from him 😁 Finished and paid him 700 baht, which is what we agreed on, even though he asked for 1000, the Canadian Chinese guy was huge compared to him. I'll give him credit though, he followed instructions perfectly. I think I'll become more like @reader, at least if the sex isn't good, you have the chance of something of a massage. I'm sure I left a bunch of crap out, If I remember , I'll write about it, if it's worth it.

Hey Mack! I want to thank you for your extensive reporting. I returned from HCMC last week. I've been sick with COVID since I got back, so it's taken me a while to post this report. A little background - I turned 64 in November and I'm feeling my age. I used to have sex several times per day and when I traveled to Asia, I never had to pay, even as I got older. So at this point, I am a little resistant to paying for sex because for me, it's just not the same. Now, to contradict what I just wrote, I have paid for sex in the past, and often enjoyed it, but it was not my ONLY way of getting laid. Now, it does seem to be my only option, and I'm just not too thrilled with the idea. So, that, plus the fact that I got sick early on in my trip, traveled to Hanoi and Bangkok, and was just feeling overwhelmed with the heat and traffic, going to a gay spa for sex ended up not being high on my list of priorities. After returning from Bangkok, where I had two paid encounters (one great, the other mediocre), I was ready to see what Saigon had to offer.] Thanks to you Mack, I had a very comprehensive guide. I chose Tarzan because it was the closest and got a good review. I went there by Grab car. Riding on the back of motorbikes was fun, but I was in the mood for comfort. The car was very comfortable and the driver let me out right in front of Tarzan. I was directed upstairs. Two young men greeted me and motioned to the sofa. One of them joined me with an ipad with photos of the guys. I started looking at them and immediately felt overwhelmed, so I asked who was good, and he selected one profile. The guy was cute with a nice body. I went with the recommendation and was directed downstairs. Thanks to Mack, I knew the routine, changed into the little shorts, took a shower, and my guy met me when I was done and brought me upstairs. He brought me into the room and then left to shower. When he came back, I was lying on my back and he had me turn over. The massage was decent. Good pressure and a combination of palming and actual massage. He played with my ass a little and I could feel his hard cock poking me in the back. It didn't feel big, but I was okay with that. One thing I'd noticed about him as we went up the stairs was that it looked like he had an amazing ass. I'm mostly bottom, but I really do appreciate a good ass. After he turned me over, I began to play with him and touch his legs and try to grab his ass. It was rock hard. (his ass, that is) - this moved things along and eventually we started having sex. He was nicely muscles and completely smooth. He went down on me and I let him go uninterrupted until I got on my knees and started to suck him. He laid on his back and let me suck and then the topic of tip came up. He wanted to know how much I would tip him if he came. I thought this was an odd request, because to be honest, I didn't really care if he came and I wasn't sure how it worked, but I thought if he didn't come, he could then have another client, so maybe I was being generous? Long story short, he said he wanted 8,000 dong to cum. I was planning on giving him 5,000, which I think was double (or more) what the minimum tip was. I thought I was being generous. So when he said, 8.000, I rolled over onto my back, and just said, "that's ok". He helped me cum, but then he said, 6,000, and I agreed. I think he really wanted to cum. So I played with his nipples and ass while he jacked off and eventually came. When it came time to write down the tip, I told him to write 7.000, figuring I'd just pay a million dong for the whole affair. I got one last look at his beautiful ass before being led downstairs. I think it was the next day that I started with COVID symptoms. Did I get it there? Did I have it before (and maybe spread it there)? It was not a bad experience. I liked the spa and now that I've been once, I would go back again and try someone else. Thanks again Mack for making it easier for me!

I use my forearm and tricep to judge the technique....if they have chairs outside, I'd ask for a sample of a neck massage. You can tell pretty quickly of they have the strength and proper motions to go to the next step....it also gives me a moment to chat and scope out the other workers without being too awkward staring at them from the street, lol

I recommend you Palermo Soho, Palermo Hollywood, and Recoleta. I was sick of Recoleta but I found it renewed after the pandemics. The security in the building depends on the building. You may rent an airbnb without a doorman, one with security staff who do not care about your visitors, one with security staff that ask for their IDs, it can be anything. Read carefully the details in airbnb and contact the host to ask for details. Security is standard in those three neighborhoods, and usually foreigners feel comfortable in them. There are more options I think are also safe, but others may find more adventurous, like San Telmo. Puerto Madero is also a beautiful neighborhood, but it is a little disconnected from the rest of the city. Take the regular precautions if you are inviting anyone to your place. If you are not used to do it, just use instead one of the many "albergues transitorios" around the city. Many escorts host in their places. Check the local forum and ask for experiences with the guys you are interested in hiring. https://ilikepinga.com/2018/07/27/buenos-aires/ https://ilikepinga.com/2021/08/15/foro-pirata/

I have a friend, ex lawyer, who retired to Bangkok 7 years ago. He is well off, which helps, and has bought a condo. He has a wide variety of interests, travels a lot, and doesn't sit in bars, at least not much! He has a lot of interests, and friends. He has a close relationship, which also helps. He seems very content at present.

My goodness, I love socks. I wear them with shorts. I need need others looking at me and wanted to see my old ankles. Years back, there was a member LetMeTellYou who obsessed over men in Pattaya wearing white socks. I think he called them the White Socks Mafia. LOL I was not a part of that as I started to wear brown socks. I hate those little socks that fall inside the shoe. If I had my choice, I'd wear knee highs all the time. . Much more comfortable.

I wear these only when I'm in shorts. In my opinion, there's nothing worse than an old man (like me) in shorts with socks. And we get to show off our still shapely calves and ankles. 🤓

Welcome "home". Don't say you're not good with trip reports. Yes you are. In all the years I've lived here, it has never occurred to me ask for a sample of the massage. I wish I had thought of that. So your first report this trip has already helped me and probably many more than only me.

Our first trip of 2024 and OMG this trip made up for the lack of fun that we had in brazil. So do you guys remember the video i posted of the young 24 year old last month? in the video he was having sex with this bottom and was smacking and chocking the bottom? well he and i had plans to meet friday evening when we arrived to sdq. we leave fll one hour late and arrive to sdq kinda late. we were both tired and i really wasnt interested in doing anything the evening we arrived but i called the 24 year old to see if hew would push the time we were scheduled to meet back one hour. i received a text back from him saying that he wasnt in town this weekend and wouldnt be back until sunday. ive learned in the past to never tell the guys when im arriving because they tell their friends and then i start to receive a lot of text messages from guys that weve messed around with in the past who i might not want to have sex with on that particular trip. i told the 24 year old but he told me not to tell anyone that we were in communication with each other and i promised him that i wouldnt. the reason he made me promise that is because i was introduced to him by a bottom who used to film with me and my husband. actually its the bottom in the video who hes choking. i told him no problem and i didnt reach out to that bottom. i think the bottom follows me on social media because i started posting on my page and he sent me a curious emoji but i didnt respond back to him. ok, so anyway the 24 year old told me that he wouldnt be back in town until saturday night or sunday. i was a little upset but i have a ton of guys in the gallery and i knew that i could contact a big dick dominican to come over and dig deep in me. i called the big dick haitian that i know. in the text message you will see that he immediately responds and tells me that he is on his way. he arrives to the apartment, showers then walks out the bathroom and immediately starts to suck my nipples. i was highly turned on then reached down and felt his dick. as always it was hard as a rock and ready to be sucked so i obliged.after our foreplay i lead him outside by his dick, gave him a condom, lubed up my ass and bent over in the doggy style. he eases his big haitian dick in me and we fucked out back with the lounge chair making lots of noise that im sure the neighbor heard us. even if they didnt hear the lounge chair moving im sure they heard his loud when he shot his haitian load and if they didnt hear that, im sure they heard my moan because he kept his dick inside me and played with my nipples until i shot my load. when we were dont i asked what he was doing for the night. he told me that marlowes was having a big party and that we should all go. i told him that we were tired and hungry and just wanted to get something to eat and go to bed. we all cleaned up and walked out together. he walked to marlowes and we walked to the restaurant. after we ate i told my husband that we should go to marlowes. omg thank god we did go to marlowes because it was packed to capacity. the models were lined up on the sidewalk vying for attention. they all had their cell phones out and the minute you walked you they were showing you pictures of their big dicks. it was complete insanity but we were both in heaven. the sidewalk outside of the club was packed with sexy dominican guys selling dick. ive never seen this club packed like this. one guy had already had my husband pinned up against the wall and another guy was in my face trying to get me to look at his phone but there was this gorgeous mf in a tank top. he was muscular and was just so sexy and handsome. omg this mf could be a model. he was just so sexy and good looking. the guy who was in my face with his phone was talking to me and i asked in the crowd, do you have a big dick and the guy in the tank top walks over to me, puts his hands around my waist, begins to suck my neck and says i have a very big dick for you baby. i lost it in that moment. he had me completely turned on on that sidewalk. there were about 20 other guys on that sidewalk but i knew that i wanted to feel this guys dick in my ass. i asked him to put his number in my phone. he also saw that i had social media acoounts and went through my phone, found his profile and followed sent friend requests to himself and accepted them in front of the club. the security guard in front of marlowes and i gave each other big hugs. i always slide him 10 dollars when i arrive and he always lets me know which guys in the clubs have big dicks. about 2 other guys talked to me on the sidewalk and i put their numbers in my phone. but i knewwwwwwwwwww that the guy with the athletic/muscular would be the one to that i would sleep with that night. we walked inside marlowes and omg. it was packed to capacity. the guys were wall to wall. it had the brazalian sauna feel to it because the guys were shoulder to shoulder in the place. i told my husband to get as many phone number as he could and i would do the same. you couldnt walk 5 steps in that club without someone grabbing your arm trying to talk to you. we had no idea that it was a huge party in this club this weekend but we struck dominican gold with all the numbers we had gathered. we walked to the back of the club where they have the sex booths. on the couches were dominican guys with their hard dicks on the couch stroking the dick and encouraging you to come touch their dicks. i saw a few guys go inside the booths for sex and was immediately turned on. i walked over to one guys who was stroking his dick but didnt touch his dick. i asked did he have whatsapp. he asked for my phone and when i reached to give it to him he took my hand, put it on his dick while he put his number in my phone. he had a huge dominican dick and it was hard. we spent about 5 minutes in the back and then walked back into the main area of the club. marlow was standing in the middle of the club with a black short set on. my husband shook his hand and i did so after my husband. i leaned in and told him omg this is amazing. he smiled and said thank you baby. he is suchhhhhhhh a sweetheart. i was ready to walk back outside and on our way out there was this short guy against the wall. my husband was in front of me and i spoke to the short guy. he asked, do you like big dicks? i said hell yeah. its the only kind i like. he took my hand and put my hand on his hard dick. i said omg. i kept my hand on his dick and called my husband. i told my husband, come touch his dick. the guy looked at us smiling and said i come to your hotel and fuck both of you right now. i told my husband that i wanted the guys from the sidewalk and my husband had met some guy he was interested in outside as well. i took the guys number and told him that i would call him tonight. we left the club and my muscular guy from the sidewalk approached me and said im going with you. i told him ok. all i can pay is $40US he said thats fine. im going to fuck you really good. the 3 of us walked back to the apartment. the guy showered, came out the room and started to suck my nipples and just kiss me all over. i was so turned on. there was one problem. his dick didnt get hard. after 5 minutes i said, pene no duro. he asked for my cell phone. he searched for some sex site, laid on his back and began to watch some straight porn. within minutes he dick was rock hard. i got in the bed missionary, gave him a condom, lubed my hole and he went to work on my insides. i was so turned on because he stroked my hole like a veteran sex worker and i could hear him making noises while he was fucking me. as long as he had that phone in his hand he drilled me until he shot a nice load. what made me fall even more in love with this guy is that he nutted and continued to fuck me for about 5 more minutes. This is going to have to be part one of this story and i will pick up tomorrow and post more because the trip got even crazier after the first night.

My fiance and I are on a tour, and one of the women on our tour put plastic tape around her ankles so that they wouldn't get abraded, since she was wearing "no-show" socks. My fiance also sometimes wears these, and then sometimes gets blisters or abrasions around his ankles because of this. For this trip, I begged him to avoid wearing those socks, since there's a lot of walking, and I don't want to deal with unnecessary ankle skin problems. I don't understand the reasoning behind these no-show socks. Do people who wear them believe their ankles are so beautiful, that others will be enthralled by viewing their ankle skin? If anything, I thought the plastic tape around the ankles made that woman look silly. I'd love to know why some people prefer these types of socks....

I see Pattaya as Disneyland for adults it's fun to be there for a while but not for living permanently.

so, compression cock ring socks?

Very interesting thread. Thank you to those who have been sharing their experiences. I think a new reason not to live in Thailand more than 6 months out of the year is the change in tax policy, which makes foreigners liable to pay tax on foreign sourced income brought into Thailand. Malaysia is also implementing similar changes and unfortunately the changing tax landscape in making it unattractive to live in many places for more than 6 months out of the year.

I went last March and left again in September. I couldn't even make it a year. The same reason but different circumstances. I got bored even though I am a Digital Nomad. So I'll change my approach. I'm gonna spread my year over a couple of countries and fit Thailand in during the low season. I guess this might work for a retiree as well.

I'm a little on the fence with surrogacy. Like sex work, it can represent financial indepdendence for women (and men, but lets focus on women for now). But it can also be extremely exploitative, and turn women into slaves used for their bodies. I think surrogacy laws should protect the surrogate mother as the priority, and provision whatever clauses are needed to protect such women from exploitation. But I'd urge any couple seeking surrogacy to re-consider adoption instead. There are many children in this world who do not have parents, and we have many would be parents without children.

I remember seeing some article or other, that looked at the numbers of death occuring at each age over 60. There is a spike in deaths after 65 that slowly flattens as the age approaches 80, where it plateuas for a bit before rising again after 95ish. If I recall those numbers right. A hypothesis is that after a life of working, and we suddenly just stop, we lose that purpose in life, get depressed and just kind of give up. The first illness after that comes along and just takes us. I've still got a fair distance to go until I'm able to retire, but that sticks in my head. I have to make sure I have a purpose after I stop working.

Not available: They've temporarily removed themselves from roster due to day job or other commitments. Not yet notified of employment: They've not indicated that they're available that day. Ready: They've made themselves available within short time frame (a few may be hanging around shop). Public: Tip for going to your hotel/place. ====================== You may also see ""HOT" on photo of various guys. It's been my experience that no special consideration should be automatically given. (Above are my understandings of terms. Possible I lost something in translation. 🙂)

Also what does 'public' mean! They all say it. I assume it doesn't meant sex in the street!

Rob, the ones I have for compression, go all the way up to my balls and squeeze them as well. Yes, that is right.

He was obsessed with guys in Sandals wearing socks !!😂

I feel weird with free sex, I'm always asking...you need money for a taxi, want something to eat, etc...lol I prefer paying, then when I'm done, we're done.....with free sex, there is like an obligation to do other things maybe you don't want to do. When I'm with a MB and they tell me to suck their dick, I tell them "I'm paying you" let's do what I want 😝

Not at the compression socks level yet?

Covid usually takes a few days to incubate before symptoms appear. It's not likely you got it there. You may however have infected your man of the moment.

One Spa in Saphan Kwai website identifies their guys in four categories: top gay, top real man, bottom, and both. They have sophisticated filter options so you can search by category. I just checked and out of nearly 250 masseurs, 6 are bottoms and 83 are both (top and bottom). https://onespa.love

Hot House is like any other bar with a bar room. You don’t get naked in the dark room you either unzip or pull you pants down. does anyone knows if is a similar place in Rio? is this place called Seven Cruising bar https://www.sevencruisingbar.com.br/ and this place K7 shop https://k7-sex-shop.negocio.site/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=referral But none of them give as much info as Hot House or Dédalos Bar (or what I call the more well organized sex club in the world.) their locker system is amazing. There aren't any GP but it was fun to check it out. Plus is busy 24*7 Both SP and RJ have do much to offer if you are a hit young gay or if you are a mature gent looking for company. "I deliberately booked my Rio trip for the second week of March to avoid the Carnival hangover. While my other options were February, I didn't want to deal with the Carnival euphoria or wait and handle the April visa process. i just checked my hotel and is all sold out o.o

The exact culture clash between a verklempt northerner (though I don't know where you're from) and a gregarious southerner. This was why french homosexuals went to Morocco and British homosexuals went to Tuscany and American homosexuals are going to Latin America. No that's not why.

Guy noted OP's email address triggered a password reset... google sends the authentication code to confirm identity... OP gives it to guy... OP loses access to his google account. Probably account would be sold to hackers. Every other website/accounts that gmail is used for is now susceptible to being hacked. Authentication codes are only for you to use on a website. Never give them to anyone.

The Cine Lido and other porno theaters in Latin America used to be packed with 20-somethings, many of whom would let you take care of their urgent needs. Now the guys just whack off at home with the phone in their other hand and the cines have become just like cines everywhere else (the few that remain).

I can't agree that opposition to uncontrolled borders implies treason. That being said, Trump's meeting with Putin, with the only other person present being Putin's own interpreter can have no other reasonable interpretation except treason from that low-life draft-dodger. There's no question but that Trump puts his welfare above anything else, including, most certainly, his country. I think few borders are as open as the US/Canada border...

And it was actually not bad at all - I visited in 2018, 2019 and 2020, but I looked at their Instagram and other socials now, seems like nothing changed and they are going strong. The name is Go.61 - some socials have it as Sauna Go - it's in the historic center. Similar to Fortaleza, the strongest nights are Thursday and Sunday. They had shows, caipirinhas for some spare change, free cabins, nice suites, swimming pool and even bingo where all guys come to the promise of some money. (I actually won at bingo and gave my winning slip to the garoto I was spending the night with at the sauna - he was over the moon).

Fercho's is still hosting monthly finca parties. He posts the events on his WhatsApp. Tickets are 100.000COP and any activities with the boys are additional cost. The last event (Jan 18) was in Barbosa, about 45 minutes north of Medellín. El Sillón Rojo has also advertised finca events, but I suspect those are more of an open orgy-sex event and not with scorts, although they do feature different hosts daily who are there to get the sex started. There are also several active sex clubs and sex events around Medellín. The Angel's Naked Party is hosting a big event in February in Centro. So plenty of options.

From VN Express By Phong Anh January 20, 2024 Thousands flocked to the Night Street in Ho Chi Minh City’s Thao Dien area, home to the southern metropolis's largest expat community, on its opening evening Friday. Crowds gather in the pedestrian-only “entertainment zone” bordered by Xuan Thuy, Quoc Huong and Nguyen Van Huong streets from 7 p.m. Security forces were also present to ensure safety and order. This was the first night street in Thu Duc City – Saigon’s “city within a city” – and it would be open from 7 p.m. every Friday and Saturday until 2 a.m. the next day. The event predominantly features food stalls. For a six-month trial period there will be jazz and rock concerts, don ca tai tu (traditional southern Vietnamese folk music ) performances, and a variety of shopping options and activities. Inside the night street zone, Thao Dien market and a riverside park at the foot of the Saigon bridge are pleasant places to enjoy local culture and the scenery near the water. In the near future, the area expected to open a river bus route. HCMC currently has eight night street zones, including the Bui Vien and Nguyen Hue pedestrian-only streets in District 1.

Although it's mostly lost from the annals of history of the second world war, Japan was among the nations laboring to develop its own nuclear weapons. According to Wikipedia, "Japan had several programs exploring the use of nuclear fission for military technology, including nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. Like the similar wartime programs in Nazi Germany, it was relatively small, suffered from an array of problems brought on by lack of resources and wartime disarray, and was ultimately unable to progress beyond the laboratory stage during the war. "In 1934, Tohoku University professor Hikosaka Tadayoshi's "atomic physics theory" was released. Hikosaka pointed out the huge energy contained by nuclei and the possibility that both nuclear power generation and weapons could be created. .....The leading figure in the Japanese atomic program was Yoshio Nishina, a close associate of Niels Bohr and a contemporary of Albert Einstein.[6] Nishina had co-authored the Klein–Nishina formula.[7] Nishina had established his own Nuclear Research Laboratory to study high-energy physics in 1931 at RIKEN Institute (the Institute for Physical and Chemical Research), which had been established in 1917 in Tokyo to promote basic research.[8] Nishina had built his first 26-inch (660 mm) cyclotron in 1936, and another 60-inch (1,500 mm), 220-ton cyclotron in 1937. In 1938 Japan also purchased a cyclotron from the University of California, Berkeley. "In 1939, Nishina recognized the military potential of nuclear fission, and was worried that the Americans were working on a nuclear weapon which might be used against Japan. However, the Japanese fission project did not formally begin until April 1941 when Yasuda acted on Army Minister Hideki Tōjō's order to investigate the possibilities of nuclear weapons. Yasuda passed the order down the chain of command to Viscount Masatoshi Ōkōchi, director of the RIKEN Institute, who in turn passed it to Nishina, whose Nuclear Research Laboratory by 1941 had over 100 researchers. The second RIKEN cyclotron, completed in 1943 "Meanwhile, the Imperial Japanese Navy's Technology Research Institute had been pursuing its own separate investigations, and had engaged professors from the Imperial University, Tokyo, for advice on nuclear weapons. Before the Attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Captain Yoji Ito of the Naval Technical Research Institution of Japan initiated a study that would allow for the Japanese Navy to use nuclear fission. After consulting with Professor Sagane at Tokyo Imperial University, his research showed that nuclear fission would be a potential power source for the Navy. "After the Japanese Navy lost at Midway, Captain Ito proposed a new type of nuclear weapons development designated as "B-Research" (also called "Jin Project", Japanese: 仁計画, lit. "Nuclear Project") by the end of June 1942. By December, deep in the project, it became evident that while an atomic bomb was feasible in principle, "Japanese scientists believed that it would be difficult for even the United States to realize the application of atomic energy in time to influence the outcome of the war." "By February 1945, a small group of scientists had succeeded in producing a small amount of material in a rudimentary separator in the RIKEN complex—material which RIKEN's cyclotron indicated was not uranium-235. The separator project came to an end in March 1945, when the building housing it was destroyed by a fire caused by the USAAF's Operation Meetinghouse raid on Tokyo. No attempt was made to build a uranium pile; heavy water was unavailable, but Takeuchi Masa, who was in charge of Nishina's separator, calculated that light water would suffice if the uranium could be enriched to 5–10% uranium-235."

Certainly true (or quite rare) at the big three saunas in Rio/SP. As FloridaRob said, "thank goodness." However, for the record, in smaller cities GP saunas do have client/client action as well -- for example, not long ago, definitely in Natal, Brasilia, João Pessoa, in both GP saunas in Recife, sometimes in Belo Horizonte, and in the past if not present in Curitiba and Floripa. In some cases, saunas that are predominantly guys not looking for GPs still have a few overt GPs. So I guess these are "hybrids" not exactly true "GP saunas."

Well, Venezuela has got to be the most disastrous failure of a country on the planet. Despite one of the world's largest oil reserves, horrific corruption have led that country to be in a catastrophic economic situation. Yes, there are countries which are poorer, but none with such massive natural resources. What an outrageous, almost unbelievable fiasco.

@floridarob have I told you lately how much I hate you? LMAO! YES, its written on my forehead in English, but all the guys in sdq speak Spanish so they don't understand what it means. Lol! @Mavica please dont laugh at @floridarob. We dont want to encourage his humor in these threads. Not encouraging him is actually in the bylaws. Many who's encouraged him in the past have been banned from the group and never heard from again. LMAO! Hope you're having a great start to 2024, fellas!

A reminder to be kind. One member banned for 60 plus days for abusive behavior. No need to attack anyone here.

Don't you have the answer to this tattooed on you somewhere, like your forehead ?

Some friends told me that there are two cinema still open near the central station and that there are some married gay4pay men during weekends.

Commiserations about the stroke, though I cannot be sure it’s not the result of a barebacking STI obtained at BHz’ 1097. This place.

Bogota: There are no saunas with rentboys like in Rio or SP. But there is a sauna on the opposite/front side of Theatron club in Chapinero (I forgot it’s name, you need to look carefully when walking by to find it) with boys and massage (60 mil for the massage and presumably 50 mil for extras, but to be negotiated of course) - and there is St Moritz sauna (same building as Gigolos Erotic House in Chapinero) with the same concept. (No first hand experience but this is what I researched during my recent trip) Medellin: Sauna Club 55 gets going on Fridays-Sundays (and with a lot of eye candy, i.e young lean/fit guys) but it is traditional gay sauna (with no sex for pay/rent guys AFAIK) so if you are not young or have a fit/gym body etc you will most like not have any luck with the guys of your desire there (there will be plenty of other similarly looking guys for them to play with, so no need to engage with mature and less fit foreigners). Nevertheless, it is a nice experience and worth the time, but don’t go there with the expectation of having sex with handsome, gym fit or muscle guys. I was told at the reception that particularly Sunday afternoons are busy with a turnover of 150-200 guys going there on a Sunday; I was there a Saturday afternoon last month and it was quite busy with all kinds of guys (age, body type etc) and a lot (private) action in the many cabins on the second floor (and in the dry and wet sauna on the first floor). Entry is 23 mil.

Stayed in both many many times, and have taken boys with me back to my hotel room many many times with no issue. Both hotels will need a key card to use the elevators so you'll have to meet incoming visitors at ground level, but again no issues whatsoever in meeting boys and taking them up to your room. Maximum number i've taken I think is 3 boys at one time.

My observation on Mexico is that, it's a conservative country. You go to gay clubs in Mexico and no guys take shirts off, whereas in Brazil, at least half of the guys would be shirtless. In fact Mexican guys prefer wearing buttoned shirts over tshirt or tank tops at the clubs. In general, guys in Mexico don't go to gyms, whereas Brazilians are very body conscious. Brazilians love to party, in SP there is always some clubs you can go, even during the week.
