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.

Qantas FFP don't expire as long as you keep adding to them. As I pay for everything on my Visa card, which is linked to Qantas points, I never lose any - they just keep accumulating. But I still can't use them!!!!!!

All those problems disappear when you have a regular guy you 'spend time with' on your trip. Finding that guy is the problem. For years I had a regular in Pattaya and although I went out to the bars at night, he was the only guy I had sex with - once in the afternoon and once at night. I've also got a regular in Bangkok. I have sex with him once a day, every day, and find someone else at night. He is always willing to introduce me to guys he thinks I'd like, as he knows me very well. And he has lots of guys to choose from. He once introduced me to a friend from Lao. He said I'd like him because he had a big cock. His friend turned up at the bar, where we sat together and I got to inspect the goods. We went straight to the hotel! As I get older, I'm less interested in the chase and negotiating with new guys all the time. I make an offer and it's on a take it or leave it basis.

What? Conned by Qantas? Surely not! 😂😂😂

J D who??

In not so sure about that. The old Golden Cock and Nature Boy were fully hands on. Their problem was the lack of available guys.

My ideal bar would be a re -creation of the old Eros bar. It had everything I want - 1. guys dancing (yes, really!) on plinths right in front of me, wearing just a small piece of cloth that sometimes didn't even cover the goods 2. Reasonably priced drinks 3. A variety of types of guys to suit everyone, and plenty of tops and bottoms 4. Lots of available guys who were totally uninhibited and very friendly 5. Full hands-on fun. The guys were up for anything. You could even take them to the room next to the bar if you wanted to fuck 6. Music at an appropriate volume 7. Great air conditioning 8. Open until late 9. Smoking area outside where you could sit and chat with the guys 10. Non-pushy mama-san 11. No need for a show. You could enjoy your own show in the bar with the guys, or get a couple of guys to put on a show for you 12. Guys could get a hard-on at the drop of a hat

I'm confused. Why would any pope be paid $32000 per month? Don't they take a vow of poverty? How are they meant to spend such a large salary?

That's good to know. How do you pay with points? I had a quick look on their website and couldn't find any FFP payment option.

Qantas frequent flyer points are useless for me. It is impossible to find a flight because they limit the number of FF seats.

I've just had a similar experience. I flew to Kuala Lumpur on Malaysian airlines, which is a partner airlines of Qantas with whom I have my frequent flyer points. They didn't credit me points from that flight so when I phoned Qantas, they said I needed to prove that I was on the flights. I said I'd send them a copy of my tickets and a receipt to show I had paid for the flight but they said they wanted proof that I actually took the flight ; I,e., that I occupied a seat! To do that, they needed a copy of my boarding passes! I had thrown them away so that was that. Nothing!

A couple of weeks, if I recall. But you could speed it up by just practising more often. The first guy who topped me (it was at a sauna in Tokyo) was not particularly well-endowed, so it went smoothly. I then went to Thailand and slowly worked my way up to xxl size. The biggest cock was probably on a Shan guy from Adams Apple in Chiang Mai, but I'm not sure - I've taken some big ones over the years and small cocks don't cut it for me now. I was a little worried when someone told me that your hole gets loose if you bottom for well- hung guys. But that probably only happens if you bottom every day, which I don't, except when I go to Thailand. Here at home I bottom 2 times a week with 'my special friend' and apparently it's all OK down there. If you decide to become a bottom, it's a good idea to install one of those bum hoses they use in Thailand. It makes preparation so easy. Don't give up. Believe me, it's well worth it. When I was top only I missed out on having sex with some really hot guys, because they also were top only. Now I can choose the hottest guy I see and know I can have a good time. You can also flip-flop so you double your fun. Good luck!

In my youth I was surrounded by more cock than I could handle. Literally. Free sex was immediately available, 24/7. Suddenly, in my mid -thirties, I found I was invisible. In a country where the emphasis is on youth, I was considered too old and no longer desirable. It was a huge blow to my ego. My life, which revolved around sex, had changed. I still got groped on the train every day, but places like bars and gay cinemas became harder to attract the attention of the guys I was interested in. I started being approached by guys quite a it older than me, and it was a weird experience. The young guys who normally would have been chasing after me were now looking for younger partners. I belonged to a couple of sex clubs, so getting laid wasn't a problem, but even there I noticed a bit of a change in attitude. In the beginning, I was the first guy they'd approach, whereas now I was second or third in line. I have no problem paying for sex. I love the concept of having sex with someone I really want to be in bed with. I have certain criteria which must be met - handsome, friendly, Asian, nice bloody, big cock - and these criteria can't always be met by guys you randomly hook up with.

Ah, the privacy pillow'. So good to hear it's making a comeback after being used extensively in the long-closed Eros in Sunee Plaza. You can't beat hands-on bar. I used it on many a night when the guys worked on me. When the roles were reversed, lots of the bar guys dispensed with the pillow. Most had no inhibitions at all. I'd chuck wow one guy and suddenly a line would form, all wanting the same. 'Pick me! Pick me!'. So if Gus Bar, and others in JC, are re-introducing the pillow, it will be time for me to go to Pattaya and reminisce with the guys.

Judging from my New Year trip, they are all in Japan!

There's a coin laundry in the same Soi as Super A.
