10 hour layover in Bogota
Riobard replied to Tartegogo's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Tartegogo, I suggest you specify: 1) Is your final destination elsewhere in Colombia or is it International? 2) Is your flight that follows the layover period, whether domestic or international, booked on the same airline (or a codeshare) with one provider, or is it an independently booked flight? I have read that, unlike other countries in the region, your baggage may be sent directly through to the domestic flight to the final Colombian destination. But you clear customs at your initial point of landing. Your baggage must be cleared at customs at point of landing for some connections to Colombian destinations, eg Armenia. -

My go-to Rio apto cost for an upcoming trip, not surprisingly, followed the currency trend and is so ridiculous that I booked it for a total period of time that may end up interrupted/vacated for excursion(s) northeast with a scaled-down carry-on. The convenience of keeping it as a base comes at an entirely manageable price.

Hmmmm, what to say, what to say? I can describe but not predict or recommend. I would not tend to look beyond my spidey sense or past experience to importune others to neutralize a gut feeling. Your Zürich goblet appears to be half empty. Sometimes it is easier if you spread out the ownership of a decision rather than fretting alone about a choice. A reasonable coping strategy if you can find others to accept the off-load. Maybe the femme twinks were away at a Sound of Music reenactment retreat and the Roma riff-raff were busy elsewhere figuring out how to sneak in for free to a petty thievery refinement workshop. How do you solve a problem like unpredictability? A trip can be like a snippety-whippit. I myself tend to decision-make based on curiosity as opposed to others' opinions. I cannot guarantee that my positive lodgings and hiring experiences would be replicated for myself, let alone others whose expectations may be more 'ancy'. About a half dozen Paragonya trade met my criteria. If they had not been on the menu, my impressions would be different, n'est-ce pas? -

I was there and reviewed it more recently than March ... it was the last week of May. All the luckier for a great hotel rate because not in the weather drabness between late alpine and early summer tourism. -

I reserved (Booking.com) a few months ahead, no deposit but contingent on a 24? 48? hr cancellation penalty, and did not pay the bill until check-in ... in CHF, but equivalent to $134.55 USD per night for 5 nights. I thought I might lose a night visiting Basel, because I was not about to endure the inconvenience of packing my one-month baggage to check out for an excursion west, but was able to easily see Basel sights within a DIY day train trip. My overall remarks are contained in a thread here a few months ago, in which you also contributed posts. -
Actually, a few months ago LATAM introduced a weekly non-stop: MIA-SSA dep Sunday afternoons, return dep to MIA in the wee hours of Monday morning. LATAM now serves 7 Brasil destinations from Miami.

Questions for a Trip to Brazil Fall 2018
Riobard replied to HiThereAll's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Welcome ... you are implicitly requesting a cohesive synthesis of information. That is a first. I think you will find, therefore, that some members will step up and reiterate answers to the many familiar questions you pose. I anticipate seeing agreement heretofore not witnessed. Claims to penultimate expertise will give way to flexible collaboration, a digital gay ghetto transformed, the likes of which nobody has ever seen. -
As mentioned, currency is but one economic indicator. The Brasilian market index has been trending fine over a decade.

Agree ... 3 years ago, at a similar trading low, the real began a one-year rally of about 30% in cost that subsequently held reasonably well for about 15 months. Squirreling away now is a good strategy.

Within any given time frame high refers to the highest price that a commodity has traded at; low refers to the lowest price that a commodity has traded at. This means taking the view that one gets, in this case, the same static product for less, as opposed to getting more product for a static price. Though they are essentially both correct. From the perspective of a Brasilian purchasing our stronger currency, eg USD, the currency sold has traded high, based on recent trends. From the point of view of the majority of this board's members, purchasing reais, the currency sold has traded progressively lower of late. The original text in the thread might have more accurately been depicted as exchanging at its highest, ie, getting more for our fixed currency, though the meaning was clear in later strands. Perhaps there are subtle differences between a trade (buy/sell) as understood in the formal marketplace, and an exchange. ----- For the love of god, please nobody ask whether we are now getting more sex or cheaper sex. Either way, fcuked if I know, fcuked if I don't.

I paid about $135USD (no meals) for Hotel Scheuble in May in the desirable area and a half block from Paragonya, modern sleek interior reno with attractive detail in a bldg with classic facade, immaculate and quiet. I thought it might end up being 'crummy' but adequate. It was far from substandard. Airbnb options in Zurich are few and I detected none in the Old Town for my dates. I wanted for nothing, in all respects, so I cannot imagine what the apparent defunct halycon days were like. -

The entrance is up the stairs one floor up from street-grade, as some know. It appears to be more in the centre bowel of the building and the space expanding northward. The upper level with cabins may extend as far as the front facade ... I cannot remember if there is a window on the south side of that upper floor. There are definitely some north facing windows on the entrance level, overlooking the minor lane street behind. In the photo, obscured by the tree trunk. I stayed next store and the pedestrian north-south street had all the food choices you could want. -

My take on its name is it loosely means "the pinnacle of quality, yes, of course", with paragon, and ya a derivative of jawohl. I hope unraveling the puzzle gets me a complimentary fuck next time. -

1993 is rather meaningless because the modern real was introduced in 1994. Brasil is not the only nation to evolve currency iterations and power up the mint equipment. The more relevant key dates for our purposes are late 1990s when the value was "floated" and dropped to half (about 1:1 to 2:1), and in 2002 when its value reached a modern historic low at about 4:1, similar to the current exchange. Obviously, these figures are USD-centric.

When he/she wakes up in the dark on a flight, does he/she still hear the screaming of the lambs? Me, I just hear the shrieking of unhappy youngsters. -
Pointe is my favorite sauna at present time
Riobard replied to Tomcal's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I suggest, redxs, that you summarize for us what you know and where the gaps are. I am a little suprised because you reported previously that you have visited in recent years, you in fact posted during your Rio trip in March, including being in person at 202, and in the Spring your contributions to at least one other poster's questions about muscular talent suggest a good working knowledge of the GdeP scene. For some reason I may fail to grasp, is their something that explains asking questions that one might just as easily pose to you based on your apparent experience? Perhaps you have a particular style of wanting confirmation about things with which you would already have some familiarity. Have you never been to 117 on previous trips? If not, my observation is that there are mesomorphic guys all the time. There are simply more of all body types due to it being a popular night with private space discounts. Following/tracking the discounts ... they are often FB posted ... also provides clues as to popular evenings and where your preferred type may be more in abundance. -
