Let's not call it Racism, Muslimphobia, or Xenophobia. People are very delicate these times. They are allergic to Muslims, Immigrants, and People of Color.

I think Half-brained is now SOB in CoM.

LOL. Troll Pride!

Do not waste your time. Racists and xenophobes do not process evidence, they only process confirmation of their bigotry.

You humility moves me. You are much more than that.

Ha. I am not here to educate your ignorance. Go and read. Although you probably do not read much. I give you a hint: start in the 1960s.

I may be misinformed, but Paris has been in flames many, many times since the French Revolution, and the arsonists were most times not savage immigrants. So, to the Racist, the Xenophobic, the Muslim-phobic, and all the diverse array if ignorants, go back and take a read to History 101.

Are you trying to say she looks too fat for her position? If that is your issue, I think she looks in better shape in the picture shared by @stevenkesslar. Ultimately, I would not say how she looks to you is important. Is she healthy, or is she not? I do not know. Do you?

Nothing to say about your transphobia? Or what is your problem with her being the Assistant Secretary of Health?

Spoiler Alert: I do not think I will have anything to report on escorts. Since my last escapade to Brazil, my libido has been down, and hiring from ads does not look appealing right now. I can share some generalities about not paid sex. The apps are not working for me on this trip. After a few disappointing experiences in DC, I feel pictures do not guarantee chemistry, and I am not interested in sex without chemistry. I am very nostalgic for the times before the Internet. I do have good news. Street cruising is very much alive in Buenos Aires. I have been doing stuff, hanging out with my people, and hooked up twice in less than one week. When you are not hunting, you get your best prey. Once, I hooked up with a Morocho on the local underground train (el Subte). Then, I was strolling in Recoleta and hooked up with a Paulista who took me to his hotel. Both were great meetings; we may meet again if our schedules match. The Morocho and I are working, and our free times do not match, and the Brazilian is leaving this weekend. Let's see. In the local forums, there is plenty of information about sex parties, saunas, outdoor sex, and porn theaters, but I think I will pass this year. There is also a lot of info about bars and strip clubs, but the fun in Buenos Aires starts after 2 AM, and Grampa is not up to the challenge. Anymore. I will be here until next Friday, let's see. I have used taxi cabs for transportation for the last few years. It is very affordable if you are a visitor. However, my Airbnb is just a few steps from a Subte station this year. I cannot recommend this option enough. The city has expanded its network significantly since I moved out +21 years ago. Check the fees. (today's exchange rate: U$S 1 = $AR 260 official/$AR 490 Blue) For Subte's fees, scroll down to Subte/Premetro. The network is safe and with good signage. I am not 100% sure of the latter, as I swim in my water. I have the impression visitors would have no problems getting oriented. Middle-Class visitors from Uruguay, Brazil, and Chile invaded the city. Everything is cheaper for them. I am unsure whether or not to recommend Buenos Aires to sex tourists, but I strongly recommend it to everyone else. The arts scene is booming with high-quality productions "in and off-Broadway." If you are an American fond of musical comedies, be aware that they are nonexistent in the local culture, which follows European standards. I was expecting to see fewer Venezuelans, as the crisis here is only getting worse as opposed to their country of origin. I was wrong. The city is still full of well-educated Venezuelans and Colombians, primarily working in gastronomy and delivery and attending the prestigious and free Universidad de Buenos Aires. As I reported in previous visits, gastronomy keeps diversifying and expanding. I am in a neighborhood called Chacarita, and Palermo's gentrification has reached this area. The options for bars, restos, wineries, and breweries are countless. Strangely, despite the economic crisis, Porteños seem to be in a better mood than ever. People are kind, smiling, and asking how you are. This is new. The only thing that may explain this change is the World Cup. Remarkable. It may not last, as we are close to national elections, and the political forecasting is not good.

Republica is a square and its surrounding neighborhood. I explored it 30 years ago, so I hope you can get more recent reports. You can find michés (street hustlers) in the square and the streets around. I hooked up with one, and we went to a nearby hotel by the hours. I do not remember much more details after all these decades.

Muscular, older, and terrible dancers. 😇 I enjoy drag queens in Brazil. Not the strippers.

You may want to send a PM to @numazu.

When is your birthday? I will be in Buenos Aires from June 23 to July 7th.

I did!

As I missed my flight from Miami, I also missed the one I booked from Buenos Aires to Corrientes, where I am. My best option to be in Corrientes this morning was to get on a bus. I remember that we discussed this option for traveling in Brazil and Colombia. I also recommend it here in Argentina. The best bus category is called "Ejecutivo." You travel on a seat that you can recline perfectly horizontally to sleep, including a curtain that provides privacy. Unfortunately, these buses were not available last night. I got a ticket for the following category, "Coche Cama": The seats do not get fully horizontal, but they are more comfortable than in the second category for plains (Economy Plus in American Airlines). Before the pandemic, these services included an attendant, dinner, breakfast, drinks, a pillow, and a blanket. These extras are all gone now, but the service is still convenient and affordable. I paid 40 bucks for an 11 hours trip. In the picture, you do not notice that the seats on the left (where I was) are single so that you can avoid any potentially unwanted contact with other human been.

I am not wealthy; I do not carry lots of money. The cash I do have is not a big deal. I would prefer not to do it, but no drama.

If you have read any of my previous reporta on Argentina, you know how fond I am of local bakeries and patisseries. I am for a few hours in Buenos Aires (will return this Friday), and just had a quick walk in my former hood, Recoleta. These are some of the prices in one of my best bakeries, Dos Escudos (you will need to zoom in): And for the meat lovers, this is from Res, perhaps the biggest local butcheries chain: Today the exchange rate is U$S 1 = $AR 262 (OFFICIAL) = $AR 492 (BLUE).

Buenos Aires is a sauna/sex club. The one I visited in SP back in the 90s was a disco/bar.

Does Homo Sapiens still exist?

No, my friend. I am on my annual family visit to Argentina. I am back to loving America. Although I am not happy with how they handled the situation, they upgraded me and had a fantastic flight with excellent service. After 24 hours in the airport, I slept like a baby for the entire flight.

Well, you know how to sell it to me. 😇
