Not a chance!

I was planning to spend a week at the Marina Bay Sands a couple of years ago. I quickly changed my mind when I found out you had to reserve a time slot to use the pool! The only times available for me were early in the morning when I'm usually still in bed. So I'm glad to hear it's not all that it's cracked up to be. It seems I dodged a bullet. Peter, I'm surprised to hear Cathay Pacific asked you for a review. I've travelled on them for years - the latest being last month - and have never been asked. Maybe it's something new. The tour guide who took us around The Forbidden City in Beijing asked for a review, which I happily provided. Competition among the guides seems to be fierce. But by and large, I don't bother writing reviews.

Probably not much! Japan is not Thailand.

Yes. They are present at tourist sites. It's hard work, so the guys are all young and fit. Many are drop-dead gorgeous. I saw them in Kyoto last month and was tempted. The view from behind would be very erotic indeed, especially as some wear short white pants. Yum!!!! But the wait for a ride was too long.

What? My home city of Perth is bidding for the Gay Games? That's news to me. How come I've never heard about this?

That's right. Definitely NOT the Australian culture. I'm still sometimes shocked at the way people speak to each other here. I guess if I haven't gotten used to it by now, I never will. I just smile and remain silent.

No, I'm not. Peter, I know you will understand this, maybe better than most. I was brought up in a culture where you refrain from expressing negative opinions of others. You are perfectly free to think what you want, but be careful what you say, at it could offend the listener. When I joined these discussion boards I was stunned by some of the vitriol aimed at me on account of the opinions I expressed. This was a new, and unwelcome, experience for me. I fought back but found it exhausting and basically a waste of time. So I stopped posting my objections on the open board and dealt with it by private message. And that is how I would have dealt with your situation. I should have made my point clearer.

Peter, I'm sure you are aware that I have probably been one of your greatest fans over many years. Your knowledge and experience of life in Asia over the decades is unparalleled. As such, I've lived vicariously through many of your posts and always looked forward to the next one, be it a travelogue, a sexcapade or an opinion. Unfortunately, this latest post of yours is not one of them.

If you are reasonably attractive - or maybe even if you aren't - try catching a late night train crowded with drunken men. Chances are, you'll have a number of hands fighting over your cock. I returned from Japan and Beijing yesterday. I use public toilets in Japan all the time when I'm out and about but I can't even remember the last time I saw any action in one. Again, late at night might be more productive, if you are into that sort of thing. Generally speaking, Japanese aren't into toilet sex from my experiences. (Mind you, you might have a better chance with the millions of Chinese tourists). Forget about public toilets in Beijing for a hookup. The incredible stink will kill any desire.

I am convinced that my diarrhea is a result of the Banh Mi baguettes Probably because they are washing the vegetables in the bahn mi with tap water.

I don't drink tap water in Thailand. I've actually never considered the water from the bum hose to be a potential problem but I guess it could be. Makes sense. Having said that, I've douched countless times in Thailand and have never had a problem. I wonder if others have?

😂😂😂😂😂

That's more like it! 😂

Constant douching can adversely affect the balance of bacteria in the rectum and medical advice seems to be not to douche more than 3 times a week. When I'm on holiday I douche every day - once before I have sex with my regular guy in the afternoon and again before I go out at night. At home it's 3 or 4 times a week, as I usually top more than bottom. I have a Thai-style bum hose, which makes it easier. When I first started bottoming, douching was a real pain in the arse (so to speak) but I can now get it over and done with quickly. In all my years of topping I have never had a 'messy' experience. And the guys who take care of us in Thailand know the importance of cleaning themselves properly,and consequently, I've never had a problem.

It depends on where you live in Japan, as each region has its own dialect, which can affect the position of the stressed syllable. As a general rule, just avoid adding any stress and pronounce the word flat, I.E. equal stress on each syllable. Common words are pronounced with the same stress. If you get it wrong, you'll be understood from the context. E.G.: SAke means rice wine, but saKE means salmon. aME (a-may) means candy, but Ame means rain. SHIro means white, but shiRO means castle. HAshi means chopsticks, but haSHI means bridge or edge. So if you are sitting on the edge of a bridge and eating with chopsticks, you'd say : haSHI no haSHI de HAshi de tabete iru

Japanese is fairly easy to pronounce. Most foreigners just put the stress on the wrong syllable, such as hiroSHIma, shinJUku or oSAka. Still perfectly understandable, though.

Let's hope there is a cell especially prepared for him when he leaves office.

Wow!!! Who is that? Whoever he is, he's right up my alley! Gorgeous.

Yes, you're spot on. It's often mispronouced. I've got a house in Mandurah so I definitely know how to pronounce it! It's MAN -ju -ra. It's great for a summer escape, but dead in winter.

Is #17 the guy in the big cock show? What does he look like?

'Pathological megalomania'

Of course, I have to pay for sex at home, not just when I travel. A number of years ago I managed to find 3 guys who met all by requirements - apart from being Asian. Sex in Australia is a rather expensive business so I sat down with each of them separately and worked out a deal which was favourable to all of us. I negotiated a discount, based on the fact that I'd be seeing them once a week over an extended period. They were happy with that as they were assured of a steady income. At they were studying, it was an easy way to make money. I only ever had 1 on 1 sex, never any kind of orgy. The deal was they would arrive at my house sometime in the afternoon and leave after dinner the next day. Sex was on an on- demand basis, which usually meant only twice, or sometimes 3 times. One side of my house has a self-contained apartment and that is where they stayed, apart from when they were in bed with me. I like to sleep alone. All three were into fitness so they had use of my small home gym. I bought them some extra equipment if they wanted it. Another perk for them was they had unlimited access to my credit card at the liquor shop. They'd buy some alcohol and we would sit and drink in the jacuzzi or sit out on the balcony and watch the sun set. Then we'd go out for dinner - they could choose the restaurant. I knew they were all mainly beer drinkers and so didn't have a problem with giving them my visa card. However, on one occasion it backfired and it was all my fault. One day my Italian guy asked me of he could buy some champagne. 'No problem! Go ahead!' 'Really? Are you sure?' What was he worried about? Ffs, if you want it, go get it. I'm very partial to a glass of champagne but I've only ever bought Moet or Verve - nothing too over the top. I was looking forward to sharing a drink with him in the jacuzzi. I almost had a heart attack when he came back with a bottle of Dom Perignon - vintage, no less! He saw the look on my face, apologised and immediately offered to take it back. Of course, he'd done nothing wrong so didn't need to apologise. It was my fault for not putting any limit on the cost. So we went upstairs, got naked, jumped into the jacuzzi and drank it! And had wonderful sex afterwards! But no more Dom! I still see my Italian friend, and of the other 2, one has moved interstate and the other one is not always available.

When people tell me they've been to Japan and visited Kyoto (which they pronounce as 'kye - yoe-toe) and Tokyo (mins pronounced as 'toe-kee-yoe'), I just let it pass. Afterall, Japanese is not their language. A numbet of years ago I found myself sitting next to a Japanese professor of English on the train. Seeing I was a foreigner he immediately started speaking to me in English, because as every Japanese person knows, all foreigners speak English! We started talking about places I'd been to in Japan, when he suddenly switched to speaking to me in Japanese. I asked him his he knew I spoke Japanese and he said it was because I was the only foreigner he had ever heard pronouncing the place names correctly! BTW, radio and T.V. announcers from the eastern states in Australia sometimes mispronounce place names here in Western Australia. I find it amusing but it doesn't bother me.
