Aside from the language issue, ( How many Gweilos speak Bahasra?) the simple truth is that there are a whole differnet set of values in play here. Chat up western girls? Kind of defeats the point in coming doesn't it?Skippy-sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115988855323925228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-82918951410985243632010-01-09T23:28:23.252+11:002010-01-09T23:28:23.252+11:00If there is a Hell, maybe that's what it was d...If there is a Hell, maybe that's what it was designed for - those who traffic in and thrive on the sexual abuse and slavery of defenceless children... <br /><br />When in Bali (many years ago) I remember a Dutch tourist relaying to me his shock at a local man liaising with him for sex with his son (a small child)!! OMG<br /><br />Just a suggestion: What about going to a normal bar/club, and socialising (okay chatting up) the local/or otherwise girls/women - without the money stuff?

Not sure if the other bars were there then. But it was not a place the taxi-drivers would automatically take drunken foreigners to anyway, unlike what they do nowadays.expat@largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250623536121293636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-44912066125632797372010-01-09T07:57:05.879+11:002010-01-09T07:57:05.879+11:00Pre 4FoW Singapore?

And here I thought for all these years it was just because of all the booze we drank.<br /><br />We did have some "old hands" take us to Gelang-home of the silent pleasures though. And Bugis was definitely NOT a shopping street!Skippy-sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115988855323925228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-92119623763175833002010-01-09T02:21:40.113+11:002010-01-09T02:21:40.113+11:00A bunk up with vitamin c thrown in?

Famous for its age bandwidth. Then there are the orange sellers who fuck if you buy their citrus profferings, and there is another street downtown with allegedly small curtain-separated rooms. Although I have been to PP I missed all these delights, but I read about them in a book called "Off The Rails in Phnom Penh"expat@largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250623536121293636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-23446178188741911132010-01-08T21:21:16.647+11:002010-01-08T21:21:16.647+11:00I had the same experience in Cambodia, when after ...I had the same experience in Cambodia, when after a day hiking through the jungle and hills I felt like a massage. I had read that the locals had a tradition in massage, so I thought I should support the local economy. My Tuk Tuk driver took me down the same dark lanes and I found myself in a split room with one side a type of (Un)grandstand, with little girls lined up to be selected by the European men around me who sense immediately I was in teh wrong place as they turned away to hide their own dignity as I turned to walk out. I couldn't help but think of my own very young daughter in the hands of those males. As I left and also explained that I wanted most of my body massaged and not just that part.<br /><br />On another note the massage I eventually got was very thorough, she beat the hell out of me!Lost in Melbournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03197275050826963568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-90629288981990678132010-01-08T19:36:22.393+11:002010-01-08T19:36:22.393+11:00I'm no expert at this Sanur stuff, but accordi...I'm no expert at this Sanur stuff, but according to my friend, Bill D., it's all in the south of Sanur.
