London restaurant/bar/pub

I would appreciate it if you could give me some recommendations for a not too expensive (ie not ludicrous) cosy/great setting restaurant with fab food for a friend of mine. Can't be too fancy & require a booking way in advance - it's a week till they are there. Looking for areas easy to get to from Victoria or in the city centre.

I know Old Compton Street is the main gay area - any recommendations for pubs/bars/restaurant for a 40/50 year old couple?

It's their first time in London & I'd love for them to love it as much as I do.

Ugandan new bill

This is very unfortunate news.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/nov/29/uganda-death-sentence-gay-sex

Has anyone travelled there? How's like? Surely when travelling in Africa (for most countries anyway) one should be careful about disclosing his/her sexual orientation?

December and January, who wans tot meet, grab a motorcycle, rickshaw, elephant and hit places not in your Lonely Planet guide ? Let me know.

X'mas & New years weekend holidays in Mumbai

hello all fellow travellers,

I am 34/single with a nice clean apartment in mumbai in the north part of the city ..away from the touristy south part but conveniently located thru a 45min train ride to the touristy points... anyone interested in joining me either at my place for the X'MAS or New Years eve weekends either in Mumbai or elsewhere around the city (though the rates else where would be very expensive around keeping in mind the whole world wants to stay in a hotel!) are more than welcome...

I am not really into the party 'scene' per se... and having spent last years holidays by myself, wouldnt mind some good company from a decent/educated person during that period...Prefer someone who is visiting to exchange some travel stories and get to know a different culture... Drop me a line and we can always take it further if its mutually agreeable....would love to be of help if ... more »

Latin in BKK January 4-11

Going back to Bangkok Jan 4-11. Would be cool to have someone to go out with, explore more parts of the city, drink, eat, etc, meet new people while we're there, and definitely go out. I'm pretty social, talkative, and outgoing.

American here 20yo, 5'8 145.

Anyone down?

Lesbian - Nicaragua, Puerto Rico or Dominican Republic???

Hi, my gf and I are looking for a spot to back-pack over winter and are hoping for a relatively lesbian-friendly desination. We are seasoned travellers but are really struggling with trying to find the better spots between Nicaragua, Puerto Rico or Dominican. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated. Has anyone (gay or lesbian) travelled to these countries? In your experience, was it safe to be out? Do you have any recommendations for hotels or dance clubs? We have heard and read that it is very difficult to try to find rooms with anything other than 2 single beds. I am an 'adventure traveller' while my partner is less so, so we're looking for good locations to hole up in for 3-4 days at a time to get to see the sights and get to know an area a wee bit before moving on. Thanks in advance for your time.

Prague

In Prague on my own for a few weeks with time to sightsee in the evenings and at weekends. Already sorted out a lot of music, but grateful for any ideas of what to see and where to go - more on the 'cultural' than the dance-and-disco side (perhaps as befits an energetic over-40!). I'd also welcome any ideas about places where the more 'mature' gay crowd may gather. And of course I'd be happy if there's anyone travelling through who fancies company to compare notes over an evening beer or two. Write back here or PM me. Thanks.
