what this is supposed to mean ?, guy attacked landed in hospital unconscious , what exactly is unclear to avoid charges

Day 21 So finally taste of Phu Quoc biggest , most famous and costly attraction – longest cable car over sea. Round trip costs 700 000 dong ( 1 dong = 25000USD ), if you opt for buffet lunch it is even 1 000 000 ( one million = 25 USD) Even if numbers are making impression it is very good value for the money as ticket included free admission to amusement / water park at other terminal. While getting to northern tip of island with fake Venice is easy thanks to the free bus, there’s no such service to the southern tip where cable car starts, There’s infrequent bus # 19 but it terminates at different southern location we were told. Some hotels are offering free shuttle to those who bought ticket or tour through their desks but we decided not to bother looking for those and after breakfast walked to main road and it did not take long before guy asked us where we are going and miraculously it happened he has a car and can take us there for 250 000 = 10 USD. Soon we were on the way. He advised us to buy ticket with lunch and we stopped in some shop on the road to buy that as he claimed we can avoid lining up at station. There was no line up but price was the same so no harm done. Island station looks like Roman ruin in middle of skillfully recreated Italian city. I must say it’s quite well done indeed. Whole exited we boarded car for 18 minutes trip over the sea. Views were spectacular although my friend , as is his habit almost immediately created international scandal telling group of Orientals ‘ you must be from China “. They were Korean and judging by their facial expression if that was done on firm land my friend would be beaten to the pulp, to my applause I haste to say. We arrived an set to have waterpark fun with me from time to time telling mu friend that I saw that Korean sharpening knife on the stone around the corner. They have one of longest wooden rollercoasters in the world so we took a ride and repeated it after lunch ( just me that one as it was too much for my friend), soaked in multiple tube rides and slides and generally liked every minute of it. Lunch part was less exiting as it was in enormous and crowded hall with long line ups and food was so, so , at least whet we sampled. Contrary to what we were told there were other eating options so next time surely I will skip that part as elbowing for table space is less entertaining than listening to the sound of that sharpened knife and other attractions. After better part of day spent there we went back the same way and returned to main island to walk that piece of Italy in Asia. Again it was quite empty, many buildings are visibly unoccupied but that’s not my problem. I liked what I saw to a great degree. Going back it took us a while to find car or rather again car found us as guy seeing two seniors , one smart and other stupid, figured out that they may need a ride and offered that option. In short very nicely spent day and recommended to everybody. Just don’t tell Koreans they look Chinese, neither ask Israelis if they are from Kairo or Doha.

That's it for Phu Quoc this trip , tomorrow I'm going back to Bangkok so trip report continues in main thread.

glad to hear you have a good time even if you clearly overdid you wine thinking about Christmas in March. What you are drinking ? Hong Thong or Mekhong ?"

drinking a glass of very cold water 1st thing in the morning should help

than Good Boys? that would be right as Freshboys is 1 floor above

+1 and this can be plainly seen by my frequency of visiting and taking boys off

for me it means till breakfast. I always ask my long time guys if they want to eat something before we go to hotel and invite them for a breakfast in the morning. About half declines breakfast invitation but almost all are happy to have evening meal, no doubt their reasoning is ' more time I spend in restaurant , it leaves less time to be with that boring old troll ( i.e me ) in his room". Since long time involves substantial outlay of money feel free to set your conditions. Boy will will free to invent some stupid excuses to do less than agreed and / or leave earlier. My favorite excuse was short time boy saying I need to go because I parked my motorbike in wrong spot and police may take it and asking for taxi money in the next sentence.

and no heating , often luggage is very cold when retrieved from the belt

you dirty mind !

still much better than ' yes' or ' no ' choice ( old KLM joke, stewardess is asking passenger ' will you have meal ?" , he answers ' do I have a choice ?" , ' yes , yes or no " said she

quite well built, yum

with new very toned guy ? I'd not be writing them off, all we need is just one guy

yes, soon

if price was right, I would

helping him to take them off is even more intimate and enjoyable

if you pay off fee to the bar, said , 500 , boys is taken from premises and an stay with client as long as he wishes ,but he is expected to return for his shift next day. in Bangkok depending on boys popularity and greed count on 3000- 5000 for long time although some guy may quote you as much as 10000 but for that he must be very handsome and popular and client must look stupid , just like me

salivating to learn how that part went as XBoys is not exactly bar for shy

book hotel there , take train in early afternoon. Next morning hire tuk-tuk to drive you around the sights for whole day and in the evening return to civilisation. Don't try to walk as sights are spread out

not sure taking bar boy for bar tour is such great idea. Bar boys not necessarily are interested in seeing other boys gyrating on the stage and in fact historically I recall only three cases when boys suggested they want to go to bar with me, one wanted to see big boys in Tawan , two other wanted to see and show trophy farang to their friends from bar they used to work before. And three is exactly number of cases when other boys strongly said 'no' to visit bar and see the show proposal. I guess it may be both boring and bit of dispiriting. But such is the life of bar boys and price they need to pay for having a bit of vacation and time off. Your boy was smart and used his waiting time right way. hope it was you who paid for that massage , lol

Day 20 In some sense unremarkable day but at made it fun at my friend expense. More about that in a second. After breakfast I wandered through he streets and back alleys part of city on other side of river bisecting it, spying on normal, local life. I found big statue of Ho Chi Minh and former airstrip , now just a very wide road. And surveyed very colorful as well as smelly sea food market returning to hotel around 11 am to pack up and go to new hotel , this time in a beach area close to the airport. interesting building and just streety street : Reason for the move was to shock my friend who is coming today and has no idea I’m in Vietnam , even less in Phu Quoc. Skillfully I obtained information about his time of arrival and hotel he will be staying and booked the same. Luckily I got the room facing entry and soon I saw him coming from the bus, opened window and screamed “ what the fuck you are doing here ?” . He being short sighted couldn’t see me initially but recognized voice and screamed back’ where you are and what the fuck YOU are doing here”. When I waved towel from the window finally he spotted me. Imagine going from, say Montevideo to Novosibirsk only to hear and see your friend is already there. Judging by his reaction he was very happy. view from welcoming window: and to opposite side from hotel's corridor: Rest of day we spent walking to the city and back , checking sights and stores and before retiring to hotel we had super tasty Vietnamese sandwiches in otherwise unremarkable restaurant across the road. Since tomorrow is my last full day here and his first , we resolved to celebrate joyful reunion and even more joyful fact that we are here together only one day and spend it in style by taking world’s longest cable car over sea.

I for one, like economy seats in the last row of Air Arabia. Flew with them to BKK in November

+1

and certainly much newer and freshly painted than it's original in Italy
