  1. I would have thought a gay escort with this restriction would starve.
  2. Perhaps I should have added the difference is about 30 years and 30 kilos.
  3. It’s not a conventional bathhouse of the type you encounter in the United States or Australia. At Thermas there are customers who want sex for money and providers. End of story. As I wrote previously you will have no difficulty differentiating the two.
  4. I think it’s highly unlikely that you would mistake a provider with a customer.
  5. The music was surprisingly approachable. As Marc in Cali has pointed out it was before Schoenberg embraced atonality. Simone Young in a promotional video said if you like Mahler you will like Gurrelieder. I should add the 2 performances in the 2700 seat Concert Hall were completely sold out and the spontaneous standing ovation at the end said it all.
  6. I know it’s not an opera but this seems the best place to discuss it. Last night I attended a performance of Schoenberg’s cantata Gurreleider at the Sydney Opera House by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by Simone Young. It was the first time Sydney has heard the work and it an occasion to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of the composer. There were 139 players in the expanded orchestra, 3 choirs totalling 271 singers and 6 superb international soloists. It was an astonishing overwhelming experience never to be repeated in my lifetime. The spontaneous standing ovation at the end said it all. Tremendous. I just read a review online of the performance by the Sydney Morning Herald’s music critic. In his words “ a massive monument to the imagination, this performance was a triumph.”
  7. There are 7 reviews on Rentmen 4 by the same person.
  8. June will be warm, sunny and little likelihood of rain. Great weather for a tourist!
  9. Tattoos of any kind are a turn-off.
  10. For the life of me I can’t see anything special or particularly attractive about his nips.
  11. About a month ago I booked my next trip. Leaving in May 14 nights in Barcelona followed by 14 nights in Bangkok.
  12. With respect I would have thought the decline in tourism post 2019 would have had something to do with Covid.
  13. One more reason to give Brazil a miss for the foreseeable future.
