Popular Post floridarob Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 Flew here from Surabaya on Lion Air. Many people in Jakarta told me not to fly them, horrible record. Check-in was efficient, line moved fast, flight left on time, was only 40 minutes and arrived 5 mins late. Since it was Chinese New Year weekend coming up, Bali airport was super busy and my luggage was the last one out....yeah, I was getting nervous. So much better arriving Bali domestically than International. Was waiting for Grab car when an independent driver convinced me to go with him for the same price, Grab was moving really slow in traffic, but as usual, nothing is at it seems. The indie taxi was in a garage and it took us longer to get out of the garage than Grab would've taken..... Staying in Seminyak at the Primera hotel, an old IBIS, small rooms but super convenient to the bars and beach, $25 usd a night with minifridge and a balcony, cheaper rooms run 17 a night. Met a guy on Grindr while in Surabaya that was in Bali, since distance isn't shown in Indonesia, it's common to move into an area far away while scrolling. Hooked up with him 2 nights, wasn't a money boy and had a thick dick with a big head, he was horny as a mf. That's a common theme in Indonesia, even the mb's don't get clients as often as Brasil or Thailand, so they come loaded and ready to shoot. Had a couple of daytime massage in my room from a couple of regulars....went to Mixwell bar all 3 night here. A guy from Jakarta that I was with for 3 nights, bought his own plane ticket to come out here to be with me 3 nights, time with me paid as 1 "meeting", his reference, like a programa in Brasil or ST in BKK, even though he was staying with me. Seemed like a bargain and so far, so good after 1 night. Moving to Conrad Bali tomorrow for the last 2 nights....looking for a more relaxing stay just hanging out by the pool and room with him, no bars other distractions. We did go to Elegantz sauna today, from the online reviews, I was expecting more....was busy, but nothing worthwhile for me. I would've been better using that time for a nap, won't return there. Also went to the Hard Rock Cafe, I know the manager from years ago in Jakarta and he always treats me like a VIP whenever I stop in, The kid from Jakarta is impressed with the benefits from Hilton status and knowing the HRC guy and manager and cashier at Mixwell, boy will he be surprised at Conrad tomorrow, lol Probably won't have anything else noteworthy to add to this trip unless I get married or he robs me....then off to Manila after. I got a message from someone in a group (straights) that I've Cruised with before on Princess, that one of our female friends that was an awesome person passed away last night while on the ship from cardiac arrest....boy did she love cruising. Makes it even more important to realize, we don't know when our last day is.....enjoy it while you're physically able to 🙏 eurasian, vinapu, tm_nyc and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stijntje Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Thank you for the report. It helps me a lot, as 'll travel to Bali in a few months. floridarob and dscrtsldnbi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscrtsldnbi Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Thank you for your report, @floridarob. It very much matches my impressions of December-January: 'institutional' arrangements (Elegantz etc) are lesser attractive than individual businesses from Grindr or Romeo. You mentioned you'd had a couple of daytime massages in your room. Did you find that the quality slipped a bit, if compared to 3-4 years back?

They were regulars from before, but yes. What I'm thinking about is that in BKK and Surabaya and Jakarta, I had some REALLY good massages, so I'm comparing it to them. Also, I find "regulars" become complacent and do less than new guys trying to earn their buck 🧐 dscrtsldnbi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post floridarob Posted February 14 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 14 Just about me last 2 nights, with the kid from Jakarta and staying at the Conrad, he was great massage and sex but also good company, he knew more about what's going on in US politics than most Americans! They treat you like royalty there and more so when you're in a suite or have Diamond status, got upgraded to a suite because of that status. Most of the people that I come into contact with remembered me from Sept...they remembered my name, wtf. They have a new position there called a Curator, is like a butler or RCCL cruise lines or a rock star agent on Virgin Voyages cruises. Almost like a Personal Assistant to do reservations at special events, dinner reservations, etc. He arranged my car to the airport, breakfast boxes since I left early in the a.m., printed some immigration docs for Philippines, and some other stuff....very handy. The kid from Jakarta said he's never felt so important and loved the trip, the 3 days flew by and when I gave him money 2 million IDR, $130 usd he said was too much...he bought his own flights, lol We had fun together and I'll plan my next trip to include him in some of it. In Manila now and Grindr is blowing up...mix paid/free, let's see how it goes. eurasian, reader, TMax and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
