Popular Post Badboy81 Posted February 21, 2017 Popular Post Posted February 21, 2017 Amazing trip as usual.... Grindr was crazy busy as usual.....Some hot guys in Copa and Ipanema Went to the infamous gay bar across from Galitos in Ipanema...nothing great there since it was Saturday and all the hotties were at the Weekend.... Preparations for Carnival are all over the city....I went to two street carnivals...One in Ipanema and one In Copa....TONS of people... I went to 117 Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.... Definitely not as festival as the after Christmas....Not as many tourists, more locals and not as many boys working....still some great options... Thursday as just okay...did enjoy time with a HOT young guy there... Friday was a little busier...still not as festive as during my last visit....also had fun with a guy that I wouldn't be able to find here in the states.... Saturday as well was pretty laid back....not sure if it is just the timing as a my local "boyfriend" told me that it should be busy in the next few weeks since Carnival will be in full swing... Sunday was a total waste of time....first decided to see if Pointe has gotten any better....NOPE...got there at about 8:30....LAME....walked around and was able to walk back out after about 3 minutes... Went to Gloria to 117...got there around 9....there were some guys and clients there but nothing of interest to me.... At least it was close to Lapa so I could at least go get my Caipirinha and Yakisoba.... I did get a chance to go to the Sambodrome....amazing to watch the practices and the people in Rio LOVEEE samba and the whole pageantry of it all... The beach was also amazing....LOVE LOVE LOVE the sights of Rio.... Went to Jardim Botanical and to another less busy beach.... Great food... Looking forward to my next trip...

Members axiom2001 Posted February 22, 2017 Members Posted February 22, 2017 ...nice read! What is "Yakisaba?" ...and I, too, love the Jardim Botanical. When I first went in 2002 by myself, I did not have a memorable experience, but in 2011, my traveling partner and I ventured there; it was "Children's Day." I truly liked listening and viewing the families who were there in honor of their children. All seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. My amigo and I did, for we meandered throughout; I liked the fact that in spite of there being a lot of folks, the gardens still seemed rather quiet and soothing! Quote

Yakisoba is a Japanese noodle dish that I get when I am in Lapa, from Japanese Brazilians... It contains noodles, vegetables and different proteins-chicken, beef, shrimp, etc. Quote
Members Gotti Posted February 22, 2017 Members Posted February 22, 2017 I believe the correct spelling is YAKISOBA, I think is not even that rare in the states, in NY at least is widely available and when done properly, absolutely delicious, better than the Brazilian counterpart, but don't tell that in Sao Paulo, the believe they are the soul of Japan.
