Earlier this year I went to Python a few times. It is a nice place but definitely not a rebirth of the old Fragata; boy do I miss that place. The days I went to Python there were far fewer program guys there than at Lagoa. Twice I left Python, which was almost empty, and went to Lagoa which was packed with both clients and program guys.
You wrote that later you will rendez-vous with "a waiter from there that says he's NOT a GP, but wants to hook up....I'll wait for the sob story after we eat 🤷♂️". You are absolutely correct about the sob story. A waiter/barman there also wanted to hook up with me as well. He said he needed money to pay his rent and mentioned several times he is NOT a program guy. I mentioned I do not give money away freely for NOTHING. A few days later he said he was robbed leaving the bar and had no money to come to work, adding that he is not a program guy. Again I informed him that I do not give away money freely. The third time, not a charm for him, he actually tried to make me feel guilty for not giving him money. He said I must not have a conscience because as a rich foreigner I should feel guilty for not helping poor Brazillians. After that exchange I deleted and blocked his number. Good luck.
It is nice that Sao Paulo has another sauna with program guys. A city that large should have several such saunas. A decade ago there were as many as seven such saunas spread throughout the city with Lagoa being the grandest of them all. Sadly, they closed one by one. By the way, have you seen the new large very elegant condo built on the site of the old Fragata? WOW!
Continue to have fun and thanks for the postings.
