Debauchery - the bane of every gay's life. Thank God! Who'd want to be straight? 🤣

I always found juggling guys exhausting. I solved the problem by searching for a guy I could spend all my time with on every holiday. For me, it makes everything really easy. No more hopping from bar to bar every night trying to find a suitable guy - difficult I'd you are not a drinker-, sex on tap anytime, getting to know each other's preferences in bed and best of all, no surprises. But a lot of punters enjoy the chase and are 'not committed to one grocery store'. Oh, and fuck the chest - bring on the bulge!!!

The guy was 100% masculine in the bar, which is why I chose him. And he was a real tiger in bed. His performance was exemplary. The transformation only came at the end.

Keep up the good work, Keith.

Any hint of femininity has me running a mile. That includes looks and mannerisms, as well as voice. If I want someone feminine, I'll go to a lady bar. (Not gonna happen!) I once offed a guy from one of the Bangkok bars. Friendly, masculine, handsome, great body, huge Isaan cock - perfect. Imagine my surprise when, before leaving, he became all fem and sat down in front of the mirror for 15 minutes , putting on make-up! He arrived masculine but left fully fem. He was off to a night club. 'Always trust your COCK....if it gets hard, the match just might work ?' That sums it up perfectly.

I arranged for six charities to take monthly donations from my Visa account. I put a stop to it when I discovered that most of my donations were going to 'fees'. The charities were getting less than 10%. Even though I contacted them and told them i was cancelling my donation, 2 of the 'charities' kept taking money out. I had to cancel the card and get a new one. It was a pain in the arse. I also used to give to those women in Cambodia who walk around at night carrying a baby and begging for money. I stopped that too when an NGO told me a Vietnamese criminal organisation hires the women for a pittance and borrows the baby from the local orphanage. I looked into it and it seems to be true, so I stopped. I hope I'm doing the right thing. I was told the best thing is to go to the orphanage and make your donation in person. In Kuala Lumpur you see a lot of women holding babies and sitting on the street begging, claiming to be Palestinian. The giveaway is the sign they have - they are all the same! These days I make one donation to Telethon and leave it at that.

Thank God! I thought I'd need to exercise with a parrot on my shoulder!

I just looked at their Japanese website, where they use both names. As is usually the case in Japan, the full name is often used in written form and the shortened form in conversation. Words of 4 syllables or less are not abbreviated. That's why Uniqlo - yu ni ku ro- is not abbreviated. Family mart (famima) is famous for its chicken cutlet called 'famichiki', arguably the most famous convenience store item in Japan.

It's always been called 'donki' in Japan. Bkkmfj2648 posted a photo above of a store in Bangkok using the full name. I presume it's the same company selling the same kind of 'stuff'.

2026 has been a good year. I've taken 2 trips to Malaysia and 2 to Japan. I haven't been to Thailand so far- and I might still go- but I've been dabbling in real estate with the son of a friend - I've just mainly been doing home opens - so that has restricted my travel. Since I'm retired and have a lot of free time, I don't usually plan ahead - I just do things when I feel like if. The first trip to Malaysia this year happened because one morning I woke up and decided I wanted to go. The second trip was for some urgent dental work. Next year will be more travel - always to Japan, plus some other destinations that I haven't chosen yet. Maybe the Philippines. And I think I might join a gym. Although I'm quite fit and have no trouble walking all day when I'm on holiday somewhere, as you get older I've been told you need to do certain exercises for muscle strength. So I might give it a go.

+1 These travelogues have really livened up the board. And I've learnt a lot about CM. The side issues when we go off-topic a bit have also added interest. Don't stop!

'Maybe a bar or massage tonight' I hope you can report on any massage experience you have in CM. Given that Adams seems to have lost a bit of its sparkle, massage parlours may be all we have left for a bit of fun.

Not really. The English words are pronounced as they would be written in the katakana alphabet and so are usually unrecognisable as English.

If a word can be shortened in Japanese, it always is - especially if it's an adopted English word, of which there are many. A smart phone (sumaato hon) is abbreviated to 'sumaho', Starbucks (sutaabakkusu) is 'sutaba', MacDonald's (makkudonarudo) is 'makku', icecream (aisukuriimu) is 'aisu', a department store (depaatomento stoa)) is 'depaato' and the basement of a Japanese department store where all the delicious food is (depaato no chika) is 'depachika'. The list goes on. 'My go-to is Sushiro' There are at least 3 very popular sushi restaurants in Japan- Sushiro, Kura and Hama. All are incredibly cheap, and operated with only one waiter who you need to call if you want assistance. Everything is automated. I have found some really good Japanese restaurants in Thailand. Zen and Fuji come to mind.

I agree totally with the first part of your comment. Americans have always gotten a bar rap in Australia - especially now - but in my years of traveling around and running into them in hotels, restaurants and out in the tourist areas, I've only found them to be incredibly friendly and polite. I have found, however, that some don't seem to know a lot about the world outside of the US . More than once I've been complimented on my English ability. When I told them I was from Australia, they said they thought we spoke a different language called 'Australian'! I've only ever met 2 obnoxious Americans. One was a grossly obese New York policeman. We were in France and he decided he'd sit at an outdoor cafe and eat his MacDonald's hamburger. When the waiter came over and told him he couldn't eat there he hit the roof and caused quite a scene and refused to leave. It was embarrassing. The other one was in a hotel in the pretty little town of Hallstatt in Austria. We were both standing at reception, waiting for someone to come and check us in. A young Asian girl- a cleaner- came down the stairs and he rushed over to her and demanded she call someone. The poor girl just stood there while he kept raising his voice. I suggested to him that she obviously didn't understand English and shouting at her wouldn't magically make her understand him. I was told to 'shut the fuck up' and to 'mind your own fucking business'. 🤣🤣 Imho the 'ugly American' is a bit of a myth. The 'ugly Chinese' is a different matter.

Sorry, I can't. It was quite a while ago. Chances are it is no longer there.

Oh, no!!! You've just destroyed the fantasy. I can't get that picture out of my mind. I think I'll now give him a miss. 🤣

Here's another suggestion. I took a long-tail boat up the river to a raft hotel. As the name suggests, your room in on a raft on the edge of the river. During the day I went for a walk into the jungle, where I came across an elementary school. It was just a simple gazebo with a thatched roof. The teacher only had a blackboard and the kids didn't have any writing equipment at all - no paper, no pencils. The little kids were absolutely delightful. They waved and smiled and seemed so happy. There was also an elephant sanctuary. 'Look at all the bamboo! Where are the pandas?' asked an American lady.

I think the smell depends on your diet. Stinky food = stinky cum. In Japan I was told not to eat asparagus and celery.

Ok. I thought Jimmie would be staying in the new house , or visiting, with his guy from time to time.

I'm not a great fan of Donki. The aisles are too narrow and there's just too much 'stuff'. But I do drop in from time to time. They have a very interesting adults-only section upstairs! The Chinese, who are by far the biggest customers, are still boycotting Japan so it is now possible to walk around the store. You can actually walk down the aisles now. Last time I was in their huge Asakusa store, the place was deserted - there were more shop assistants than customers. Unbelievable! They were unhappy with the lack of Chinese, as they are in danger of losing their jobs. 'At least it's quiet now' The reason why Japanese convenience stores are so good is because the competition between them is fierce.

It's like a conversation in real life. You tend to go off on various tangents. My post about the toilet was in relation to jimmie's new house. I was wondering how he would cope with a village toilet while his house was being built, and hoped for the sake of all who stay there that he has a western toilet.

After being invited to a function at the Australian embassy, I rushed out to buy a suit. The rather unattractive tailor had me standing there just in my underwear as he measured me up. He measured the outside leg very quickly but spent an inordinate amount of time on the inside leg, brushing up against my junk. I don't think he was gay - just curious. If this tailor in Bangkok is young and attractive, he can spend as much time as he wants on my inside leg!

Given my own success in scoring with young guys in saunas, I agree. Last year I met a young guy in the gay cinema in Ueno in Tokyo. He stood next to me at the back of the cinema and started to grope me. When I responded favourably (extremely enthusiastcally, tbh!) he quickly dragged me into the seats, pulled my pants down and gave me a blow job. We met every evening in the cinema for a repeat. He told me he liked older guys. And he wasn't Japanese- he was a Chinese living in Japan. I also met a guy who was in his early 20s. He was a lovely-looking guy who let everyone play with his substantial assets. I managed to grab his cock and gave him a handjob. When he felt that he was about to cum, he would put it away and go out into the corridor for a rest, before coming back in and pulling it out again. Unfortunately, the action was all one-way, as he never reciprocated. I've also scored with young guys in the 24 Kaikan sauna in Shinjuku Ni-chome on every occasion. One guy, who looked like a high school student (but you have to be 20yo to enter) saw me lying on the mattress, which is what you do there, waiting for some action, especially if , like me, you are unwilling to make the first move. After some 69ing he slipped a condom on me and sat on it. On another occasion during the trip a guy in his 30s dragged me over to his mattress, gave me a bj and let me cum in his mouth. Of course, I would have had more fun had I been a lot younger, but one thing is for sure- there are a few guys out there who are definitely into us oldies.
