Ouch, you can tell you are from Boston.....this, along with "you's guys" .....co-workers ridiculed me to death until I stopped using them 😆

Want to be more sad, look at this page and then the "Life of a typical American" chart..... https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html or for your own visualization of your life in blocks lived and blocks remaining https://engaging-data.com/age-calculator/

1st world problems ....🤨

I have had the same thing happen, I tell him, because he was no good last night, I found someone new, 😝

yes

OMG ....are you joking or serious 😵 chlamydia and gonorrhea Should be HIV and syphilis.....maybe potassium too after having all those bananas 😉

Sounds good.... up until the last part 😒

Just tell him that you sucked about 100 cocks and ate a lot of ass....he'll probably think you are joking, but tell him you just came back from Asia....he'll know which one to give you 😉

This will no doubt have a lot of opinions/comments .....get ready 😵

Is a pretty low bar, I made it 😉 They had/have a program that if you overstayed your tourist visa and it wasn't your 1st visit to Mexico, you could "normalize" your status and become a temp resident without any income requirements. It started during Covid and as far as I know, is still in place.

I generally stick with Mexicans in Mexico.....these other guys feel special when they've made it out of their country. However, lot's get deported regularly , so it's a short time fame for many. Also, PVR, CUN and other touristic places get these prices, because foreigners pay those prices.

no, they left a number of a caretaker in case anything happened. They tried to get us to order meals and have chefs come over, also offered daily cleaning but I declined.

I can think of a few board members that wouldn't have a problem with that.....

I retired/left the workforce 10 yrs ago at 48 yrs old. It was between Mexico and Bangkok where I wanted to move to, Pattaya was out of the question, is great to visit but I couldn't imagine living there. The more I looked into in, Mexico was the clear winner. Easier to get residency and no reporting BS and no keeping money in their banks. Once a resident in Mexico the only thing you have to report to immigration is any change of address. I built an impressive house that would cost millions in the USA.....Also, is less than a 2 hr flight back to the US if I needed to.....almost 2 yrs ago I needed to have my gallbladder removed and flew to Boston. Merida has great hospitals and Doctors, however, I'd prefer a Boston hospital over international hospitals when having the choice. I got a little bored after a couple of years and opened a NY Style Pizzeria.....that has kept me more than busy. In countries like Mexico or Thailand, having even a small business like this makes you sort of a celebrity. You hear "he's the owner" just like in Thailand, he's the owner carries big weight. My family isn't close and most of my friends have family and careers, so I hardly saw them. I hang around with almost exclusively locals between 18-35 and it makes me feel/look younger than I am. Plus Spanish is much easier to learn than Thai .....😝 I could imagine if I did go to BKK, I'd open a business there too....the bureaucracy in both places are stupid, but not impossible to overcome. I did all my own documents and even have a liquor license, all done without any bribes. Merida is in Mexico but corruption, although it exists, isn't as bad as other parts of Mexico or probably Thailand. I read somewhere that 72% of Americans live in or close to the city they were born in. I lived in Florida for 10 years and is a very transient state, many people end up going back to where they came from....moving internationally is a huge move and with a change of language, culture and politics, isn't for everyone.

Have you been to Brazil?

I only use debit cards at a Bank's ATM to withdraw cash...not to purchase anything. Cloning is too easy and If they clone your debit card, it's your actual cash tied up until the bank agrees with your dispute. Credit cards, all it ties up is credit and credit cards have more cardholder rights than a debit card (for USA accounts anyway)

I rented a whole Riad in Marrakesh with a friend to eliminate the hotel problem.....wasn't cheap years ago. Can't imagine what it would cost today.

My flights are usually at 7am leaving BKK, so I don't sleep and head to the airport about 5ish.......for some reason, my last night are usually when I find my best off 😵

He's back in Pattaya.....

in the event there is interest in keeping a topic focused, can you say that when you're not taking Quaaludes so we might understand you 😉

I guess we all relax in different ways, lol

The good thing about long stays...you DON'T have to do something everyday, like if you were on a 7-10 day trip. I stay in and veg, eat, MAYBE get a massage, watch TV or Youtube and recharge my batteries. Not all nights are good either....and when you feel tired, listen to your body and rest....will make the next day feel better.

I do this with Joe when we're together, some guys believe it, lol When in Thailand and I used to hang out with Sam...remember him? They used to ask if that was my lesbian sister 😝

go while you can, with uncertainty of further Covid shit happening or MonkeyPox....who Knows what's next. Some Governments have shown they will shut it down without notice....

Brazil would be 25% less than in those times now..... I'm going to Bogota next month, I haven't been there in ages. CUN-BOG 195usd r/t, industry rates at Hiltons and a stop on the way back in Panama, Waldorf Astoria 😵 Like Namazu said, airfare depends on where you are originating and carries a bulk of the expense generally.....but travel is fun (or at least it used to be). I don't keep charts, I barely remember where I've been (I'm not Asian, btw)......but my "go to" places are: #1 all around- Brazil= Amazing sex, fun guys, a little danger Avg cost for a guy=$36usd, plus entry fee and drinks if you go to a sauna...online is the same price. #2 Mexico= I live here, brown skin, lot's of fun, generally everyone turns somewhat gay when drinking- depending on what types of guys and what city will vary from free-$75usd...My average, when paying is $25usd. Mexico is a good sized country and lots of different cities to choose from ...Cancun being my least favorite because of the gringo tourism and tourist scams that go along with that. #3Thailand= There is enough info here to know what it's all about Indonesia= Bali, lot's of semi-openly gays- Because of religion, most guys are circumcized - much like Morocco or Egypt or Turkey...different being with an Asian or latin looking guy that is cut....I've been to Jakarta and Bali, is like NYC vs Miami or Mexico City vs Cancun or Bkk vs Pattaya....Jakarta is a big city not much to see but LOTS of people Bali is used to tourism, lots of Aussies go there and the hook ups are on apps or massage shops....average price was $25-30usd Cuba= Use to be lots of hot guys that were into pleasing....not so much anymore, but are diamonds in the rough sometimes- All street cruising and pick up points $20usd is the standard, I've seen some go as low as $5 and some asking $50....things are not good there right now, nothing on the shelves- I was going to go there instead of Colombia/Panama but changed my mind based on the ground reports. I've been all through Central America and no organized or set places/prices to really go by....just like spinning a wheel on the Grindr roulette. Dominican Republic= Haven't been there in ages, but in the Latin America forum there is info- Fares are too crazy from Mexico to there, but if I was on the east coast with cheap fares, I'd go back easily..... Colombia= I've been to several places, but not for awhile....good info in Latin America forum and going rates seem to be $25-40 usd Panama= some BEAUTIFUL guys....gay clubs seem to be underground still , but I've had AMAZING sex there, just finding it is not as easy as the other places listed here...prices seem to be about $50-$75 Those are the places I go to , for this type of stuff. I've been to many other places in the world...but those are the ones I return to....no wonder I don't write trip reports, thoughts run through my head like squirrels.
