One of the things I try to do if I am traveling outside the U.S. (if I have the money) is to hire someone to show me around the city. I generally get someone gay. I get someone who can show me historical sites and take me to places that I might miss if I went on my own because I don't know the country. Plus it allows me to see more because I usually spend an inordinate amount of time lost and looking for places I want to see. Also, the gay guides (and I try to stipulate it) can often hook you up or take you to places where you can be hooked up. I make it clear that they obviously do not have to partake in such activity but explain it would be like taking me to a museum but one where I get to fuck around.
