I used to do that, then TomCal told (and showed me) just to go outside, skip the prepaid rates and tell the driver to use the taxi meter...is cheaper almost always than the flat rate. Uber is cheaper in many places in the world, I don't find that so true in Rio (SP , yes). I don't think trying to save 20 reis is worth the hassle, just go with the 100...this is coming from a frugal guy, lol I like SP alot, but I don't usually get going until about 5pm, like a vampire....I usually have more fun in SP than Rio btw. It's going to suck not being able to bring someone back to your hotel, especially if you find someone hot and fun (99% chance of that happening). Cancel if you can ...AirBnb is hit/miss in Brasil...can have AMAZING places, or places that are meh. Book a place you can have someone from Grindr or the sauna over, just watch your valuables. DO CHECK THE BILL...I almost always find "mistakes" at 117 and Lagoa.....and make sure if you give your key at the sauna to someone that they don't go ordering drinks and food on your account...some guys are brazen, lol

What's xtube?

Not sure how much longer you are there for, but just a heads up...the frigate bird (TomCal) is in flight heading to Brasil at this moment, get who you want now and lock them in a room, lol

is good when you find it....mostly a fri/sat night thing. Guys are hot and I found a few on Grindr, I tried to locate one guy that was LOTS of fun, but I can't find his contact info anywhere. Spanish will def help, I didn't run into many English speakers except for a few gringos that live there (and had crazy money)

you go places to actually see sites,lol JK, the old town (Casco Viejo) and canal (theres different options, you can go out to Gatun Lake also) is good, there are some big shopping malls, I used to stop at the one with the free shuttle from the airport before going to Cuba to buy inexpensive clothes to bring/sell/barter, casinos if you're into that. This site lists the gay places...but for hookups, Grindr is good http://www.guiagaycolombia.com/latinoamerica/panama/index.htm I went to the sauna 2 times, hard to find but is ok, very clean.

Not for free upgrades though...they have their own program, Connectmiles

Tomcal, you might have to go in on your knees.....not that it would be something new for you....

I disagree...I've been on a LOT of cruises, this sounds like the disagreements on how to dress on Formal Nights in the dining room. For nearly 20 yrs, I've never changed into a towel, except one place where it was mandatory.....it was a further out place that totallyoz took me to..is now closed.

if you call their reservation center, the stopover in Panama should be free.....so it's not priced point to point. Is charged as though you are just connecting in PTY. But you will have to pay the phone res fee....they're a great airline and great flight crews (lots of young cuties) imo, I have plat status with them and 100% of the times am upgraded. But dealing with people on the phone or at the counters is a pain in the ass.

The voice in my head when I read a post like this is Major Charles Emerson Winchester III from M*A*S*H. Anyone else? sorry if you're not familiar with the show,lol

Jamaica would NEVER make my list for anything...except to avoid it,lol Black, in the Americas outside of Brasil....Dominican Republic or Cuba.....Eastern Cuba is full of myth, everyone goes to Havana looking for work, plus too much of a hassle to get to the other side of the island. Houston has lots of hot black guys....but I'd stick with anywhere outside of USA....economy is good, craigslist/backpage are dead....not many hustlers, even on Adam4adam. Venezuela out of the question....Central America has blacks in Panama (very underground scene, imo) and Nicaragua. Belize does too but won't have any luck there. Fly Copa and do a stopover in Panama going/coming to DR or Cuba.

Everyone's taste isn't the same.....he might like it. I like everyday looking guys from the street....not into too many muscles. I used to like MM, met most of the good guys that I've liked, more humble.....I also like Fragata (not the facilities).

I wish many clients would keep their clothes on....some things can't be unseen, is the anti-viagra

Try explaining this to TomCal......lol

Best in the world, that's quite a statement depending on your travel experience I guess...

Believe it or not, I know many of the sauna guys go to the girl saunas and pay for sex. The old owner of Corujinhas use to tell me if you think the gay saunas make money, you need to see a female sauna, there are lots more of them and make about 10 times more. Straight guys are less frugal than gays, I know this from listening to stories of straight friends that go to Rio and I hear what they spend ....and that's when I think how lucky I am to be gay, lol

Yes, I'll be back for sure...might have to stop drinking at those prices though (not a bad thing). I never made it to a beach, anyone that knows me....I'm a vampire, only go out after the sun is down,lol

VPN's, no? That's what I use from Mexico, Indonesia, Thailand ...for sites that they clock.

I read that liquor was expensive in Indonesia (local beer is ok prices)....I brought rum from BKK, thank goodness. I went to the supermarket yesterday and a 750 ml of Bacardi white rum was $75 usd....wtf??? Cigarettes are $1.45 usd...almost EVRYONE smokes here and you can smoke anywhere....has been a LONG time since I came home smelling like an ashtray, yuck Still, lt's of available guys that love being with a white skinned guy....

I don't mind them watching it with the volume OFF....the sounds of girls moaning/screaming is so fucking annoying to me,lol

My straight friends joke and say about 90% of Merida is Gay, lol PK2 and Rush are 2 decent places in Centro....a little out of Centro but near the Hyatt sort of is Blue disco https://www.facebook.com/PK2DiscoBarMerida/ https://www.facebook.com/rushbarterraza/ https://www.facebook.com/Bluedisc/ There are some other small cantina type sleezy dive places (be careful of thieves) https://www.facebook.com/C-MEN-BAR-133435620679206/ One place was recently closed by the city - Bull Pen There are others, but Rush and PK2 seem to be the best now,,,,just keep an eye on your phone and wallet. Also, if you invite one of the guys that work there for a drink, ask the price so there is no misunderstandings ...they are more than the regular price because they get a cut.... and most are not gay, some MIGHT go before work or their day off...but many promise and never come through...they just want you to keep buying them beers,lol A REAL sleezy place near centro is Jorges (listed as Imperial Bar/Cantina) And the Zocola or AKA the plaza Grande has hustlers that wonder around...is a slowww process but sit there long enough, you'll know who's hustling and they'll probably come to you at some point. If you speak Spanish is better, otherwise will be Google Translate. Invite someone for a beer at a close by bar and if they accept, they know whats going on....if they decline, their not working guys. And there is Grindr and this website: https://mx.mileroticos.com/escorts-gay/yucatan/ Going rate is 200 pesos for many...500 is the most what some look for,,,, but there are "traveling" guys from other parts of Mexico or Colombia that do the rounds of different Mexican cities and some of them ask for up to 1500......

That's coming to an end too....

Why did I wait so many years to come to this place?? I have a love/hate relationship with Thailand....the food is like a drug to me, can't get enough. But sooo tired of the gogo bars, non-performing guys for sex....asking way too much....fake pics on the apps, etc. Now in Indonesia.....the high end is $30usd.....average $20 with many not even asking for money, they're just horny and want to be with a westerner. I hear there's beaches around somewhere....maybe I'll get a chance to see them (probably not)

I rented an inexpensive hotel in Seminyak, Accor property. Basic, but clean and close to the gay scene. I don't even have to leave the room...Grindr blew up my phone. I travel a bit and never had this much a response on Grindr.....more than 100 messages on the 1st day. Next time I'll look into a villa, but this is a place that's been on my list of places to go for years...can't believe it took me this long. No more Thailand for me probably.....this is great here.

Envy is one of the Seven deadly sins.....don't go there. Read the article.....do something about it. Is easier than you think....look what Msclelovr said.....I certainly agree with you that fewer possessions and more experiences enhance life. Consequently I travel for more than half the year, and I’ve done so for 20years. I suspect only ill-health will stop me.
