Here you have the review on Douglas, the Carioca boy. https://ilikepinga.com/2018/07/13/douglas/

I arrived to Buenos Aires last Wednesday, today is Friday, and I am already exhausted. As usual, if you are interested only about sex, just skip to the last parts of this post. I need to take a break, so I am going to devote the day to catch up with some writing. Right now I am siting at a Starbucks in the Centro Cultural Recoleta waiting to have lunch with a friend in the Buenos Aires Design terrace. This is the Centro Cultural Recoleta, one of my favorite places in the city. I performed there in my times as an actor: These are different views of the Buenos Aires Sires Design, a mall where the local upper middle class buy furniture and decorations. It has a beautiful terrace with bars and restaurants and a view of what is called Plaza Francia, even when it is not the right name. One of the first things that struck me of Buenos Aires: Starbucks ubiquity. Two years ago I noticed a few locations but I thought they were not going to be successful. Buenos Aires is a city with a very strong culture of cafés, like Paris, Rome or Madrid. Traditional cafés are spread all over the city and are the place where friends get together for long sessions of chatting without consuming more than one espresso. I thought Starbucks, with their expensive offerings and tailoring more to individuals than to groups, would fail. Damn I was wrong. They are everywhere, at least in the neighborhoods I move in (downtown, Recoleta, Barrio Norte, Palermo). They have taken over the best locations in those areas. Many of the locations are just like any regular one in the States, but many have a very fancy look and clientele. The ones around my place in Recoleta look like luxurious stores in NYC Upper West Side. McDonalds and Burger King have also increased their presence and also took over the best locations. Unlike the States, where these junk food chains target the lower end consumer, here they are a trendy place for the middle class. As soon as I have the chance I will take a picture of the prices, so you can compare. For the local market their prices are high, and the quality of their food is just as trashy as anywhere else. When I was still living in the city and McDonalds was a novelty, there was a huge scandal. The local equivalent of the FDA analyzed McD burgers and found they contained a significant percentage (I do not remember the number) of art worms to meet the protein content specifications. Everyone predicted it would be the end of the chain in Beefland, everyone was wrong. Here you have a picture of Starbucks prices. Today exchange is U$S 1= $AR 27.91 Unusually, the dollar went down. However, you never know in this country I am still holding my advise on keeping your dollars and go selling them as you need. If you lose, it is going to be very little, but you have the potential to make a difference if you gain. The dollar can go down a few cents but can go up a lot. Here you have more pictures of the area around the Centro Cultural Recoleta, just three blocks away from my place. Recoleta is the fanciest area relatively close to downtown. There are fancier ones but they all are further away. I already warned you about traffic in Corrientes City. Buenos Aires is not better. Streets with one lane fit two cars. No one respect lanes. Riding a taxi cab is very much like riding a roller coster in an amusing park (it is just not amusing but authentically scaring and dangerous). In this city we add an additional danger: you are not sure not even in the sidewalks. In one single block you usually have many garage entrances and cars going in and out. Be very alert to the warning light or they will ride over you when you were walking feeling perfectly safe. The urban design is pretty different to the American cities I know. It does have the regularity of Manhattan Streets, it is easy to get oriented and to navigate. But we do not have here rectangular blocks like in Manhattan, or blocks with alleys and driveways like in DC and most American urban areas. The blocks here are perfectly squared, about 100m (meters, remember we are in the Metric system in the rest of the world) each side. There are no alleys or driveways. All buildings have private backyards one against the other, in what is called a “Pulmón de manzana”. Here you have a picture of the one in my place: This is the Iglesia Nuestra Señora del Pilar. I used to attend a catholic elementary school associated to this church. During Holidays season (which is summer here), my mother would make me join a Catholic Charity choir. They would dress me on the traditional altar boy outfit (yes, I would melt with those red warm dresses in summer time) and we would go around the big department stores (they do not exist anymore, we used to have to huge ones, Harrod’s and Gath & Chavez) singing Christmas Carrols. Next to the church, you have the also famous Cementerio de la Recoleta. I am fond of cemeteries, out of all the ones I have visited around Europe and the States, this is one of my top favorite ones. Many aristocratic families have a tomb here, the place is a treasure of architecture and sculpting. Juan Domingo Perón mummified corpse used to rest here, this is the place from where his hands were cut off. He was now transferred to his own museum. Right in the corner of the cemetery there is a mall that in my times was a Movies theater complex. They kept many cineplex theaters but added a generous number of stores and eateries. That is two blocks from my place. Just half a block from there, you have the local residency of the Opus Dei: One of the many particular things of this city is the unbelievable number if bakeries and kioscos. Soon I will take a pic of a bakery so you can see the local offer. "Kioscos" are small stores that originally would sell only cigarets and candy. They expanded the last 20 years to offer also other products, increasing their side. This is a very typical one, they are everywhere: Let’s talk a little bit about sex. I apologize if I repeat myself, but keeping posts in more than one place makes me lost track of where I am sharing my observations. I know I already shared this, but I do not think it was here. My observations about Corrientes and the Argentinean NE being a place with a subculture where younger men chasing for older gentlemen were more prevalent compared to other places, seem to be correct. During my first two weeks in Corrientes I would get about 15 hits every day (it was even more at the beginning but I set up the filters) , during my third week the ratio went down to 5 daily. I have been in Buenos Aires now for about 3 days. I only got two hits from Grindr, and in Scruff a masseur/escort contacted me to visit him in one of the local saunas. I am using the same apps and did not change a word in my profiles and stats. I met two professionals. I already posted about the first one Douglas, a Carioca moved to Buenos Aires. I have a review almost finished and hopefully I will post it today in the blog. Yesterday I found gold. Carlos Aleman, a 21 y.o. Venezuelan that would be one of my favorite regulars if he was living closer to me. The experience was outstanding. The boy is a natural and indeed one of the top five lovers I have had in my life, for free or for a fee. I did not start writing a review yet. I am negotiating a second meeting with pics and video. Physically he kind of remind me of Ashton Summers, with a body not so sharp but equally beautiful and sexy. However what made the difference was not his looks but his performance. The boy freaks in bed, it was really special. His fee was higher than Douglas’, $AR 1,500. Tonight I am meeting a few members of the local forum. I am not sure how many will show up, but hopefully I will have some input from the locals beyond our online exchanges. I found a gay bar owned by two American expatriates that follows times more aligned with my habits: Fluxbar. I have never been there yet. Our gathering is tonight at 22 (another local particularity: we use military times here). I will share how it went in my next post.

By the way, it has been working flawlessly for me, thank you and high five to your techies.

I have not check the number of hits in he long term, but the day I published a review about my meeting with Griffin Donavan the number of hits in my blog double my previous record with a Black provider review. And that considering that follows me should know my preferences. That was back in November. My review of Victor Powers was not so shockingly more successful because it was more recent and my audience was more educated in my tastes. Perhaps the situation is better now, but take a look at the market prices. A sexy bimbo new comer with inconsistent record as a companion like Alam Wernick is charging 600. A sexy God with a consistent record of outstanding meetings like Sean Xavier, 400.

I continue eating from Chick-fil-A because I love the product.. I do not buy from Papa John's because I do not like their pizza, not because they are racist.

I think you posted the wrong picture.

Colombia is indeed amongst the few destinations I will be visiting in the next years. Right now it is the second one in priority for the trip this thread is about. This may change as my research progresses (it will once I am back in DC), bur right now it seems that I will probably go to Salvador. From Salvador I would explore Bahia as much as I can. The second one in chances to be selected is Colombia, the third one is Mexico. I do not think I would go in this trip to RD or Cuba, but you never know.

I arrived to Buenos Aires this afternoon and uitfeels good to be back to a cosmopolitan city. I was horny, so I called Douglas: http://www.soytuyo.com/indexmodelo.php?id=11161#.W0acXS2ZPOQ Carioca, his birthday was today, he just turned 30. Absolutely gorgeous like the pictures. Amazing kisser and an outstanding bottom. I would write a review in some moment. I had a very good time, but I do not think I will repeat. Even if he was very interactive and docile, I did not feel he was actually into me. His dick was never hard. His fee is #AR 1,000 per hour. I will probably try another boy tomorrow. Good night for now.

I have to jerk off now. Koreans are smoking hot. Out of all the characters of Sens8, the one I would pick is the detective from Seoul, Sukku Son.

It is a mix of all of that (except the water thing). In my worse years I would fall sleep in my office. Then I became more self disciplined and stopped going out during the work week. My fun nights were Fri, Sat, and my favorite ones Sundays or any other day before a holiday. It is not wise. My sex is better with less wild times.

I am not thinking only about sex. All the destinations that lure me the most are the ones that do offer sex but also an interesting cultural/nature immersion. I know the Brazil Gaucho, but not the Afro. I would love an immersion in that culture in Salvador. Plus the beaches. I am very curious about experiencing the way Mexicans have integrated their native heritage to their national culture, something completely alien to an Argentinean. Plus the ruins and the beaches. With Colombia I just have some kind of romantic infatuation. Plus the mountains and the beaches. Plus plus plus hot young dark/brown men, all the precise mixes I like the most. I am also thinking this plus for Brazil. When I read the abundant reports on GPs in Rio and São Paulo, many of those super hot boys are actually from Bahia and Recife. If I am traveling the area during holiday times, they all will probably be back home with their families... and working the local saunas.

Yes, it is.

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.

He has his own money and is not beholding to any donor or pact...

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.
