I first had chicken with cashew nuts years ago in Bangkok and it was delicious, especially with lots of chilli. But the problem was, they used far too much oil. Lots of stir-fry dishes in Asia also have the food swimming in oil, which is a turn-off for me. I used to say 'nam man nit noi' (just a little oil) but I still couldn't eat it. In the old days, when I used to cook, I made it using soup stock instead of oil. What is it like at Guido's and the inimitable Foodland? Would I be able to eat it?

They run the same scam in Kuala Lumpur.

Peter, you have certainly been a controversial figure at times, but one thing nobody could ever accuse you of is being afraid to express your opinion. Whether people agreed with you or not, you always had something to say—and usually something worth thinking about. Your posts have ranged across an extraordinary variety of subjects, and your incredible knowledge and understanding of Asia have been especially impressive. You brought experience, insight and a perspective that will be difficult to replace. The board may occasionally have been challenged, entertained or even provoked by your contributions, but it will undoubtedly be a quieter and less interesting place without them. Good luck with whatever lies ahead, and thanks for all the discussions, debates and knowledge you shared with us. You will be missed.

You need to find more 'upmarket' friends who fit more comfortably into your lifestyle.

Like the cost of a 'chuck' in Nature Boy!

In Japan you open a gift by slowly unwrapping it. Don't rush! You find the piece of cellotape and take it from there, being careful not to tear the paper. This is then folded neatly. Sometimes it is re-used, and at other times it is thrown away after the guest leaves. Wrapping is an art in Japan. Every shop assistant in every shop in every part of Japan wraps every item exactly the same way. The Japanese worked out years ago how to wrap using the least amount of paper and only 1 or 2 pieces of cellotape. After all these years, I still can't do it!

This is where I think your story falls apart.

It's a cultural thing. In Japan you wouldn't dream of visiting someone's house without taking a gift - usually food. It is commonplace not to open the gift until the guests leave. In Australia, we often take alcohol.

Here's the difference: There were a few boys there, so I decided to stay. (Positive connotation) There were few boys there so I gave up and went back to the hotel. (Negative connotation) Not that anyone needs to teach you English! It's close to perfect! Like Christianpfc.

When you say 'progressive fun', do you mean a bit of hands-on action? Were the guys at Space Bar as attractive as usual? If so, I might make a quick trip up to PP to check them out. Also, in your day 9 report, you said that 'there were few boys'. To be clear, did you mean 'there were A few boys' or just 'few boys'? There's a big difference.

I was fucking a guy in Bangkok over numerous trips. He was bottom only - or so before said- and absolutely LOVED it! Hearing him moan and watching his face as I shoved it in was a real turn-on for me. He has a wife and a couple of kids. Whether he was married back then, I don't know. I wonder if his wife uses a strap-on, of pleasures him with a dildo? 🤣🤣

I meet a German guy at an embassy Christmas party. He was an Australian citizen but spike English with a very strong German accent. He was an English teacher at a Tokyo University! I also met a Scottish guy who was employed as an English teacher but I had a lot of difficulty understanding anything he said! In Japan in those days- maybe it's still the same- if you were a foreigner it was assumed you spoke English as your native language. I also ran into an American guy in his 60s who had been living in Tokyo for over 30 years, yet he could hardly order a cup of coffee in Japanese. I asked him how he's managed without the language and he said he bought his daily necessities at supermarkets and went to an American doctor in Harajuku. And he only associated with fellow foreigners. What a waste! I did a bit of Japanese language conversation tutoring for students taking the University entrance exam. One of the students spoke Japanese with a very distinct French accent! I met her teacher outside the exam room and we had a very nice conversation - in French and English. When I asked him why he didn't teach French, he replied in broken English that French was too beautiful a language to be destroyed by Australian students! Yet he was happy to destroy the English language!

Just wait till Trump finally goes. There will be a massive de-trumpification of America, where his statues and vanity projects will be torn down - and probably televised live. And then there will be the ceremonies removing his name from airports, buildings, etc. We see this with all dictators. The first things to go are the statues, torn down by the people.

It's called YOLO/FOMO. I'm not as active when I'm home.

I went to Prague and had my eye on a Czech pornstar who worked in the now-closed Escape bar. My plan was to have sex with him and go out and buy all his DVDs and show them to my friends, boasting that I had fucked him. I was willing to pay any price for a one-off encounter, as I could live off the story for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, there were 2 German guys who turned up every night and immediately grabbed him. They left with him at the end of the night. I was told the other guys working there were not pornstars. I didn't off anyone, as they were all unable to get hard. There was full nudity on stage all night where the guys 'danced' around a pole or danced naked with the customers. A fat soft uncut cock is beautiful to look at, so I wasn't complaining. But it's no good back in the room. At the end of the night, there was a jack-off show. The first night, a young Turkish guy put on a great performance, finishing with a spectacular cumshot. The next night my favourite guy, Dennis, was the performer. Try as he may, he just couldn't get it up. So the only hard-on I ever got to see in Escape was the Turkish guy. I think all the Czech pornstars had moved on to other parts of Europe.

A fascinating look into the life of an expat. I found his particular situation rather sad. He's already looking towards his own demise, despite being only 71. And he's living a solitary life with no hobbies to keep himself busy. To lose interest in sex at such a 'young' age is also very sad.

Well, yes, I did. My mistake was not waiting until I went inside the building!

I always insist on using a condom. The top always knows what to do, so I just leave it to him. I've been to the otot-otot sauna in Kuala Lumpur many times over the years, but I stopped going because everyone wants to bareback.

I decided to become a bottom on a trip to Japan. I bought a couple of dildos and started with the smallest one, and gradually worked my way up. My first experience was in the 24 Kaikan sauna in Tokyo. I lay there on my back, waiting for some action, when a guy got on top of me. I knew this was the moment and my heart was jumping out of my chest. It was a little painful, but once he got going, it was very enjoyable. Thankfully, he didn't have a big cock. But I had finally done it!!!!! I went home with a huge smile on my face and couldn't wait till I could bottom again. Thailand was a different kettle of fish. I like big cocks and the guys I choose invariably come from Isaan - there's something in the water up there! I had a regular guy from Nature Boy in Bangkok, and as both of us were top only, we just enjoyed suck and 'chuck' sessions. I now wanted him to fuck me, but told him I was scared of his cock. But he took it really slowly and after a lot of effort, managed to get it in. It was quite painful, but I persevered. After a lot of practise, I even managed to work my way through the hugely hung Shan guys at Adams Apple in Chiang Mai, one by one. Korn is particularly memorable, not just because of his donkey dick, but because he was so gentle and didn't rush things. Bottoming isn't for everyone- the preparation can be a pain in the arse - but well worth it! I love the freedom it gives me to have fun with every handsome guy I meet.

Mmmm... Perhaps I should add some clarification! An ASIAN manly bottom IN HIS TWENTIES WITH A BIG COCK, A SWIMMER'S BODY AND A CUTE FACE is a real joy! If you fit that description, let me know and I'll pay for you to come and visit me in Perth. Business class, of course! 😉😂😉😂

A manly bottom is a real joy!!

That reminds me of a very handsome guy who worked in a bar in Pattaya. I asked him if I could fuck him, but he said he was top only - yet he had a very small cock! I told him he was sitting on a goldmine, but he was horrified when I told him he should be a bottom. I had been a top all my life, until I got sick of finding hot guys who were top only. I was seriously missing out on a lot of fun, so I bit the bullet and, after quite a lot of effort, learnt to be a bottom. It was one of the best decisions of my life, as it doesn't matter any more whether I top or bottom - and I get to enjoy all the handsome guys. I suggested he talk to one of the gay guys in the bar and get some advice. I said if I could do it, so could he. But he said he didn't want to, because he as straight. I don't get it. It's just a cock up your arse - how you feel about having sex with a man is irrelevant if it's just for money. His arse, his decision. But if I were on the game, I'd be versatile, that's for sure!

We all make mistakes. I once ordered water (nam plao) in a restaurant and was given a bottle of fish sauce (nam pla). I now just order by number!

One of the most delicious foods I've ever eaten was a sausage at the Christmas market in Göttingen. I was in heaven! I immediately bought another one. 'Do you know what's in it?' asked my German friend. I wish he'd never told me. That was the last sausage I ate in Germany.

I was actually suggesting that their parents sell THEIR homes to pay for their kids' medical expenses. In Australia around 80% of baby boomers own their own home, and around 20% own at least 1 investment property, so they've got a hide asking others to pay for their kids' medical expenses and the cost of an evacuation back to Australia.
