13 million in 2007? That figure alone would keep many away. Are there any locals left. Looks like Thailand is slowly becoming a Disneyland. Seems like the main attraction is the low cost thesesdays.
Brazil isnt a bad place, but there is one huge flaw. There is the issue of safety. I know there will be some hot replies on this once I hit the "submit" button below. All I have to say is that I know more people who have been mugged in Brazil then I have in Asia. I know more people who have had belongings taken from them in Brazil then in Asia. The rule of traveling is do not take anything that you cant easily part with. That rule is especially in force in Brazil. If one goes to Brazil, then I suggest they do it as a group.
MS. Broad sweeping statements concerning Brazil MS. You might care to be more specific. I have traveled through dangerous areas of Brazil and there are areas that I would not even consider with or without a group. There are places I have been to in Brazil where people do not lock their doors at night. Try to be specific with your comments. regards f9
It wasnt a question. I was suggesting a real reason for the returning tourist to that part of the world. The place is a magnet for paedos and deviants...
My opinion is that its not truth as to what counts, but perception. There are many instances where I am attracted to the women in Latin America and do feel that they have more sexual energy. Columbia especially has some good looking women. Thats, at least, my perception. However, if I perceive that my safety might be an issue, then I am more ready to travel to Asia where I have not heard of such trouble happening.
true. but it would'nt be hard for paedos and deviants to find shemales, sados, gays, bi's, groups and other types in u.s. cities. every type sexual activity is to be found here in the u.s., and in abundance and free. just visit some of those websites for people seeking specific type sex and bed buddies. There's every racial type and age group over 18 advertising themselves for hookups and one nighters in america. old women, young women, fat women and thin women are all looking to get laid. you name it, it's all here in america, at zero cost. and reports are that even child prostitutes are available in america too. so, as far as other countries being a magnet for paedos and deviants, true, but america is no different from them when it comes to sex.
MS Yes, I have seen this pattern of behaviour in many many people, in fact it arises frequently in trading where 95% of wannabe traders fail. Of course they cannot see this as they are trapped behind their own perceptions. They will then argue and twist in every direction to protect this perception, or more accurately 'deception' I wish you luck.
Do not get jealous. Just because your mummy decided to sell you to a"boarding school" for a fistful of dollars and now you have to work hard pleasing the tourists, does not give you the right to bring my caring mother into the picture. Let go of the anger. She had no other choice but to sell the only possession she had.
