Yet they did, lol

Could happen the other way around too.... room allocation depends a lot on the front desk when they block or check in rooms. When you buy a room from one of the OTA sites, look somewhere in the fine print, it should say that bed and room types are not guaranteed. They buy ROH, run of the house rooms... so you could end up anywhere. But a good front desk manager or agent that blocks rooms, will give the best rooms to "their" guests, then will look at the rates you paid and assign accordingly and others just hand them out as you arrive and what's available at the moment. When you can book with the hotel directly, you should. Because then YOU are their customer, otherwise, Agoda or Booking.com is their customer and you are Agoda or Bookings customer. Most chain hotels will only give you your "status" benefits when booked directly with them, you might find a manager or a hotel that will honor your benefits, but they're not obligated to. Hotels in Asia are weird, they seem to prefer that people book online and put their own rates too high, I don't get that strategy.... not when so many use the internet. Chris at The Venue, will usually give the same or better rate than what the online sites are giving as does Classroom Suites when you book directly with them and some food credits, that logic I understand because they get their money right away from you and pay no commission.

This Gemini AI explanation is better than listening to me: Even though Expedia Group owns Trivago, the platform functions as a "metasearch engine," meaning it is designed to scan hundreds of different booking sites (including competitors like Booking.com and Agoda) to find the best available price. Trivago +1 The reason you often see lower prices from sites like Agoda or Booking.com—even on a site owned by Expedia—comes down to how these companies compete: 1. Different Business Models Merchant vs. Agency: Some sites, particularly Agoda, often use a "Merchant Model," where they buy room blocks in bulk from hotels at a steep discount and then resell them to you at a lower price than other sites can offer. Commission Structures: Other sites use an "Agency Model" (like Booking.com), where the hotel sets the price and the site takes a commission. If one site agrees to take a lower commission for a specific promotion, they can show a lower final price. Reddit +3 2. "Hidden" and Dynamic Pricing Mobile-Only Deals: Booking.com and Agoda frequently offer "mobile-only" prices that are 10% or more lower than their desktop versions to encourage app usage. Trivago’s algorithm may pick up these specific rates. Taxes and Fees: Some sites, notably Agoda and occasionally Hotels.com, have been known to show a lower "initial" price on Trivago that doesn't include taxes or resort fees until you reach the final checkout page. Reddit +4 3. Algorithm and Ad Bidding CPC (Cost-Per-Click): Booking sites pay Trivago a fee every time someone clicks their deal. A site might bid higher to get their "low price" featured more prominently as a "Top Deal," even if another site has a similar or slightly lower price hidden further down. Inventory Clearing: Hotels often release unsold rooms to specific platforms at a discount to ensure they aren't left with empty beds. Agoda or Booking.com might have secured an "exclusive" for that specific hotel on that specific date. Reddit +5 4. Legal Scrutiny of "Best Price" Trivago has faced legal action in some countries (notably Australia) for misleading consumers into believing the "top" recommended deal was the absolute cheapest. Courts found that their algorithm sometimes prioritized sites that paid Trivago higher fees over the actual lowest price. This is why you may sometimes see a lower price listed below the main "Recommended" green button.

In case you missed this in the Thailand forum 😳

In one of the shoppes where they sell oils for massage and other shit, this one very handsome guy was hard selling this one oil. I asked him to demonstrate it on me and lifted up my shirt from behind. Very strong hands and good technique..... I told him I'd but it if he came to my place to give me a massage with it and I'd pay him upon delivery. He did, he was fun, typical arab top hard fuck, cum and was ready to leave right after, but at least I got an hour massage as well first and a good fuck.... 20usd for him and I forget how much the overpriced oil was..... luckily this was after the weird guy watching over the riad was gone. Better to get an apt in the modern part outside the old part of town.... better chance of being alone and only nosy neighbors to watch out for.

My experiences in China usually required a magnifying lens 🔍

Makes the ride out/back less boring if you have someone to talk to ....

So am I 😉 Under the guise of a massage seems innocent enough.....

A condom that expired in 2014

🤣 🤣 You left off the "R" remember one of you likes black guys and is always on the hunt for a huge dick, you should read what they post....

Post that in the Dominican Republic section.....

I gotta make a trip up there.... how about gay life bars, hookups, apps.....

Aren't we all .... but you got the noodles 😆

There's only 6 episodes.... you haven't finished yet?

Most likely this.

Me and a friend rented a whole riad in Marrakech with the thought, it would be easier to bring guys back. Never did I imagine they'd keep an onsite "keeper" that was a pain in the ass he was always lurking around somewhere. We brought guys back and he got in touch with the people I booked from ratting me out. They told me I'm not supposed to have local guests, this was before Airbnb by the way. Wouldn't you know it, the next night he was either smoking hash or drinking and showed up tipsy knocking at my door, rubbing his crotch, he wanted me to suck him or fuck me.... he wasn't good looking or I would've, so I ratted him out to the booking place and they sent him away, we had the place to ourselves after that.

Flip a coin...

Because they can't see you?

Either way, it’s smart to stay on your guard and not get too drunk. Easier said than done in there, especially when the alcohol is questionable at best. I’m not talking about beer. With go-go guys, I’ve honestly never had an issue. Same with app hookups, surprisingly 🤷‍♂️ The only times I’ve had small stuff go missing were with random freelancers from DJ. Not all of them, but a few over the years. A cheap cell phone, sunglasses, cologne, fingernail clippers one time. Nothing catastrophic, just annoying, btw this is when I used to stay at apt's vs hotel..... the hotel getting the ID is more valuable in thee instances because the guy knows their ID is registered 🥺 I never leave cash out and always use the safe, so that was never an option for them. They know we’re tourists and the odds of running into us again are basically zero. And if you’re tipsy, the odds of you clearly remembering who it was drop even more. Just saying, have fun, but keep your wits about you.

Biologically yes....mentally, questionable

The gym teacher.... @Olddaddy

Yet..... give them time if they stay in power.

NO, except Cuba has been off my radar of favorite places for years now and I wouldn't go now or in the near future 🥺 Venezuelans are pretty hot and can be found in Colombia and Colombians are hot, so like visiting 2 places at once, lol

Because he's Spielberg, he can't be scammed? Bernie Madoff got a lot of people, no?

Don't go too early, wait for the younger guys to get tipsy... they really can't hold their alcohol and they lose their inhibitions. You won't be the youngest one there but won't be the oldest by far. If you're looking for hookups, like all gay bars, you're more desirable if you are a top..... or have wealth, which is also relative ☺️
