Thank you, friend. Yes, I am feeling better and decided to stay home today to be strong and recovered tomorrow, when I fly to Buenos Aires to start the real fun. I will be very Busi meeting friends per there, but I have several professionals in my TDL. I will probably focus on them and avoid the hoo up ads. Let's see. Meanwhile, you can check here my last post summarizing the Corrientes Gay experience. It also include some general tips useful to Argentina. There is probably nothing I did not already share in this thread: https://ilikepinga.com/2018/07/10/corrientes-gay/ PS: I found my weed!

Yep, Colombia is in my list too.

Tanks for the suggestion, Tass, but I have zero interest in Florida. If traveling in the US I's rather go to Frisco o Washington State, two areas I have never been to. But I want to travel abroad.

I forgot to add this picture: It is one of my favorite home made dishes, from my mother's hands: guido de lengua (cow tongue stew). In Argentina every single part of the cow is eaten. You have no idea how delicious this dish is.

I just reread my previous posts and I am ashamed at all my typos and other mistakes that may seriously challenge comprehension. I said exactly the opposite of what I was intending to in one of my sentences. Public colleges in Argentina are the respected, serious academic institutions. Private universities are the ones delivering diplomas to whoever has the money to pay for their courses. Sorry, I needed to make that clarification. I also notices I forgot to share the link to my full report on the local Gay Pride celebration. Here you have it. My visit to Corrientes is close to ending (I am leaving this Wednesday to Buenos Aires), and I have given up on the sex. After my Veterinarian heart broken students and Pablo, all the connections made online were a disappointment. A few vey promising ones ended because I do not have a place and I am not in the mood to going to an hotel. Please, do not assume all the local guys are a flake, I am picky and rejected a bunch of guys. I may be the flake. Soon I will wrote a summarizing report of my whole experience in my blog and will share the link here. There is one place I did not explore, the local gay club, called Castillo Robert. After checking the pictures in their Facebook page, and considering that the night actually starts at 2 AM, I decided it was not worthy. That place is the only gay club in the area. There is a monthly gay night in a straight club in Resistencia, but I stayed in Corrientes my whole visit. I did enjoy my meetings with the Veterinarian student. Our first one, when we made out and have oral sex took place in the Parque Mitre, right across my mother's apartment. Here you have some pictures: That is the local Club de Regatas, where I spent long hours on my adolescence week ends. It is located in the right side of the park. You can see on the top right corner of the pictures a floating swimming pool I used to love. I would lay down under the sun as a lizard between my swimming laps. I am glad is still there after all this years. My skin color used to be much darker back then. This is a creek that runs under the city and ends in the Paraná, constituting the right boundary of the park. The water height is unusually low, normally you would not see much of the crap you can see there in the picture. If you see the guy reading in the above picture, he is right where the Veterinarian student and I had our first hot meeting. As in the rest of the city, you can see several murals in the park. Decades ago a local Arts school brought some muralists from Mexico to teach a workshop. That experience seeded a local muralist school that is unique and not represented anywhere else in the country: Those are all murals in different places of the Parque Mitre. But you can find them all over the city: The lack of sex after so many promising hits from boys in Grindr was not my only disappointment. I got my nephew to buy some weed. I paid $AR 500 for this: That is probably 3/4 of what I got, as I had smoked a little before taking that picture. The quality of the stuff is really poor, the same smell I remembered from my younger years, Paraguayan second tier quality stuff. As a funny side note, I smoked for the first time in front of my mother and I think she got high by second hand. She says she did not, but after I smoked a joint sitting next to her, she took an effervescent medication as a regular pill and had to drink lots of water and cope with berping for hours as the medication disolved in her stomach. Last night I went out with my brother and his wife to a bar/restaurant with very modern and avant guard design, it could perfectly be a trendy establishment n one of DC hipster neighborhoods. My brother drank a big bottle of beer, I had two disgusting margaritas, my sister in law two girlish over sweeten coctels, and we three shared an order of delicious crispy shrimp sitting in a bed of guacamole and red peppers cream, and a huge table with 6 different kinds of premium quality cheese, 6 of different cold cuts (including yummy jamón serrano), green and black olives, and cherries, all served with home made bread they would not stop bringing to the table. We all love eating and however could bot finish all of it. The check was only $ 1,200. I forgot to report the Dollar is today $AR 28.64. It was cold last night (6C) and I think I got a soft cold, so I am staying at home probably for the rest of y visit. Today is the local Independence Day and here is a civic and militar parade in Avenida Costanera that I am missing. Patriotism is one of the many values I am not fond of (I am being diplomatic), so I do not really care. However I did read a nice piece celebrating some good things coming from Argentina. For those who read Spanish and have some knowledge of the local culture (I hope you are there @epigonos) I share it here: "Un verso de Discépolo, un texto de Borges, un cuento de Manucho, una canción de Atahualpa, una gambeta de Messi, un tango de Gardel, una melodía de Piazzola, un atardecer en la pampa, un glaciar y un confín helado de la Tierra, una lluvia tropical en la selva misionera, un bayo y un cordero, un hombre de campo que sonríe, una mujer trabajadora de los conurbanos, un niño con la cara sucia, un barco de Quinquela, un cafetín de Buenos Aires, un malbec de Mendoza, una familia que celebra, un asado con amigos, quince minutos de Darín, una salita del under, un do de pecho en el Colón, un malvón, un jacarandá en flor, una pizza en Guerrin, las obras completas de Bioy y de Silvina, la Docta, Salta la linda, la Colección Robin Hood, Mafalda y Manolito, las aguafuertes de Arlt, Rosaura a las diez, el piano de Martha, un poema de Pizarnik y otro de Calveyra, los científicos, los médicos, los héroes de Malvinas, "Casa tomada", una volea de Del Potro, unos mates en una mañana fría, el sable morisco del Gran Capitán, la muerte solitaria y digna de Belgrano, los granaderos, los bomberos, un blues del Carpo, calamaros y garcías, la mesa de los galanes, un beso robado en el Rosedal. Tantas cosas nos justifican..." Jorge Fernandez Diaz.

I am torn between going straight to Salvador vs flying to Recife, going to Salvador by bus, and then returning to Recife to fly back home vs going to Mérida. I stopped researching right now because I am getting the prices in Argentine currency. I will continue once I am back in DC.

I shared in other thread that I am planning a trip during my Christmas/New year vacation. I do not want to kidnap someone else's thread, so I am starting this one to ask for your wise advise, Boytoy People. I am aware it is not the best time to travel. Please, keep that kind of advise out of the thread. Unfortunately I do not have a choice, I am a high school teacher and I cannot pick the dates when I take a break. This year I can travel between December 22nd and January 5th. Also please consider I am not wealthy, I have to make my decisions according to a very limited budget. I am planning on some location not far away from the States. Te first places that come to my mind are Colombia and Brazil, but I would also like Mexico, Santo Domingo, even Canada. In Brazil, I would love going to Bahia and Rio, not interested in going further South. Where would you go, given my limitations?

There are not many pure Amerindians living in urban areas in the South American countries I know (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, South of Brazil). However you can see their heritage in the many mestizos you meet around. Most of the popular guys classified as "Latinos" are a mix of European (Spanish) blood and some local Amerindian nation. It is pretty clear in Argentina. You have beautiful, tall, dark skin guys in our Northeast, coming from different European genotypes mixed with Guaraní blood. If you go to the Northwest, the mix is mostly between Spanish, Middle Eastern, and Koyas. The guys are shorter but also hot. Many of the boys I see in the threads about Mexico and Brazilian garotos de programa are, to me, obvious mestizos. There you have your Amerindian blood. Is everywhere in Latin America.

I can understand Americans and any one else love more Rio over Bahia. I was not making that comparison, please reread my post. I do not understand how anyone can prefer Porto Alegre and Rio Grande so Sul (an area I have been to) over Salvador and Bahia (an area I have heard of). The only explanation that makes sense so far (may be someone else can have a different theory) is the one brought by @SolaceSoul.

Ayayayay, ir was my question in another thread what triggered Tomcal to start this one. I feel guilty. I do not think any should get defensive, but from my perspective (I have never been northern of São Paulo) SolaceSouls does have a point. Why would American tourists prefer Porto Alegre over Bahia? Bahia is closer to the States, it has better beaches, it has a more "exotic" culture, it is probably cheaper, so why?

Muito Obrigado for that question/suggestion! I always wonder why Bahia is never a topic when discussing Brazilian destinations. It is even closer to the States than all the other cities we are drilling about. Why is it that São Salvador does not seem to be so appealing? I am considering a trip for next Christmas vacation, I am indecisive between Mexico and Brazil. If I go for Brazil, of course I would go to Rio, bur rather than short escapades to the South, I would rather explore Abrobrazil. But my apologies, I do not want to kidnap the thread. I will open my own in the near future. Let's leave São Salvador de Bahia as an option for @riostatic.

As promised, here you have the full review of my meeting with Forbidden Apple that I reported earlier in this thread. You can see also a gif in the Porno folder and a few pictures in the escorts reviews folder. Gracias!

Two days in a raw with no problems! I am also back to the Clubs! Thank you @TotallyOz & (Thai?) nerds team!

You may disagree, @AdamSmith, but I think the events are proving my point. We just ride of a corrupt administrator who is going to be replaced for probably another corrupt administrator, while the deplorable environmental policies continue to be the same, or even worse. I told you.

Both Villages were my hunting field from 1994 to 2000. I witnessed Giuliani's destruction and hated him. I was not into street trade, but clubbing, bars, and street cruising. I would have taken pictures of how the Bijou Theater was being stripped year after year of some feature, but well, this is before smart phones. Those were my Golden Years. Damn, I was good at cruising.

Damn.A whole bar! I just had a religious crisis that quickly turned into epiphany. I am from now on worshipping a Holly Trinity: @Tomcal from South of Rio Grande; @TotallyOz from South Asia, and @AdamSmith from NC Street Trade

I love and agree on your first paragraph. One of the best things of these forums is embracing and celebrating our differences, even if sometimes we fail. I strongly disagree with your closing. It sounds stigmatizing. I do not think we are born with a work ethics, it depends on the interaction between our genetic heritage and our nurturing environment. Even given that, I strongly believe people can change. It is not easy, but it is not impossible.

Not really. If the same situation would have happened in an opposite ideological landscape, I would have probably defended him staying in office. I do not like arguments that later on can be turned against my side by accusing us of having a double standard. If I am President, and have a secretary who effectively manage my environmental protection policies protecting national parks and there areas, holding accountable polluting agents, promoting renewable energy sources, etc, etc., I would probably be ore lenient with his unethical practices. I am not saying I would be OK, but my focus is always on the policies rather than int he behaviors. I would support any administrative and judicial investigations of his misbehaviors, I would support any proper accountabilities, I would publicly and privately confront him, but I would keep him in office as long as possible. That is why I am bitterly glad he is out.

It is good news but I would have prefer an attack on him more centered on his policies and less on his unethical behavior.

I just tried it once again. It seems to fix one of the issues: when I sign uo through the main website and then go to the forums, I am not logged out from the forums home page, which does happen when I do not sign up in the main website. However, the new issue remains. When I click in the Clubs menu, I am still logged in. As soon as I click in the Mexico/Brazil club, poom back to be logged out.

I just tried that and the problem remained. I have bookmarked the forums, but I did tried logging in through the main website instead, unsuccessfully. I can try it again, and it may work. Part of the problem is that it is not consistent. There are days where the navigation is spotless and then there are days like the last days.

"There is one thing sadder than the guys who think that our escorts are with us just because they love us: the guys who need to remind us that the boys are our for pay lovers when we are celebrating our whores and our relationships with them in an escorts forum." Taken from the Lost Gospels found under the Holly Bed of Our Messiah

This is a new variation of the same problem. Until yesterday afternoon I was able to access the Clubs section. Starting yesterday night, every time I try to access that page I am logged out and cannot access the club I am a member of.

Thanks, I think you are saying the same that @Suckrates before you. It is a way to do around the problem, yes. However, I think I prefer the previous suggestions. I was just not used to writing long posts in the forums until I started my Argentina traveling log, I will start treating those post as the posts in my blog, and draft them previously in a word processor like Pages.
