Thanks for the update. Will for sure check it out next week.

Flying out Monday oct 1, cursing myself for not reading the posts here and missed Monday at mm. Arriving Manaus close to 4pm. Traffic jam into town, as the road in city is only two lanes each way. 50 to get to hotel prearranged. Driver doesn't speak any English. Hotel is cheap and all locals. Cultural shock kicks in not knowing how to turn on the light ( drop key card into the slot beside the door), no restaurant catering to foreigners around the area ( so I can order stuff by pointing at the item or pictures), and I am drenched in the feel like 45 weather in a 15 min walk around the hotel. Bought two slices of watermelon only for dinner. Feel like trapped in prison not having a guide. Grindr is very active though. To be fair, every front desk staff, all young men, though not speak a word of English, are all very nice and tried to help. Arranged a tour at a lodge deep in the amazon system, 4 hours away from manaus by boat, car, taxi, boat again. All pick up are on time and efficient. Great 3 days in the middle of nowhere watching lightening and listening to nature. Caught a pariah on my first ever fishing attempt as well. Also great the driver in manaus speaks fluent English! Back to manaus thurs afternoon with my flight at midnight to São Paulo, it's great he agrees to drive me to h20 and pick me up at 10pm. All for 60. H20 is compact with nice facilities. Fresh smelling steam room, clean throughout. About 50 lockers, only open 5-10. About a dozen people visited during the night, all locals, one boy discreetly offering massage but not my type. Did manage to hook up with a slim decent looking local boy, had a great time in the dark room. As all other brazilians, he gave me a thumb up when he left, I gave him one back. Great place to kill a few hours if u need to wait for flight. 25 for the night. No food offering though. Pick up to airport is again right on time, free wifi in the small but ok airport. Lagoa is the next!

1 week into my trip. Not knowing the special days in RIO saunas, planned weekend stay in Rio by mistake. Went to meio mundo on Sep 29 around 5. About a dozen boys there, more coming in later. More boys than clients. Not any knockouts ( I like twink boy next door type, not into muscle or 6 pack abs). Went up with a very outgoing dark boy, who kisses me in front of other people and giggles frequently. To convince me, he even took me to a corner, swallowed my half hard cock to the end! I was sold:) he is a great bottom, small twink build, decent boyish face. All for 70 (asked for 80)! Rio rocks! He gestured afterwards for food, but not knowing any their language, I decide to just call it a night. Give him 10 extra for being so pleasant. Being 1st time visitor to the beautiful city, I made the mistake walking all day long the two days in niteroi and central. My legs are killing me, as the burn on my neck. The central area is deserted ( metro Carioca) at 5:30 pm on Sunday. I quit while walking to the metro planning to hit 117 on Sunday the 30th. Plenty opportunities later. First impression of Rio, stunningly beautiful. Amazons the next!

Thanks for all the great advice! Have a great time at MM party next Wednesday and please give us an update! 7 days count down! Can't wait to touch down in RIO eventually.

Thank you all so much for your help. Especially ihpguy, thanks for the tip on ATMs. My first night in rio will be 29th Saturday. I am a top, more into twink type. From what I read, MM seems not so good on sat, so I should head to 117 then. Anyone else in rio that weekend want to cruise together? 40 yo Asian professional here.

Wish I found this forum before I booked my TAM air pass around brazil. Will miss Mondays at MM during my 13 days first trip to Brazil. One question for all your experts, can u pay the boys US$ in the sauna? Could save some trouble exchanging money if they like it. Thanks in advance.
