I have a Japanese section is my house, which includes a balcony and verandah overlooking a fairly large Japanese- style garden. I had some maintenance /renovations done by a Japanese gardener and a traditional carpenter, both of whom are my friends and who were responsible for the original design and construction. While they were here they enjoyed many rounds of golf and drives out into the country. *. I expanded my real estate portfolio. I'm not doing it for the money - I'm sponsoring the son of a friend and in return I get a cut of the profits. With house prices going through the roof here in Western Australia, it's a great time to be in real estate......if you can find properties to sell! That's the hard part. *. I was kept busy with some charity work. *. I've got lots of gym equipment at home, but I never use it, so I joined a gym. Nothing too strenuous - just some muscle strengthening exercises. It's actually quite enjoyable. Mmm....I think that's about it. 3 trips to Malaysia?🇲🇾 Did you do any trip reports may I ask ? Quote

Every night I went to a different sky bar dotted around KL. My favourite was the Helipad bar. As the name suggests, it's a helipad during the day but turns into a fabulous bar with incredible night views. I did think about going to the infamous otot-otot sauna but it has been disappointing in the past. The dark room is pitch black - I want to be able to make out who I'm making out with! vinapu and Travelingguy 2 Quote

Like Trump, you are tone deaf, and out of touch. From the days on another site where you regaled members with your stories of numerous YOUNG latin lovers, who used you and took advantage of your monetary generosity, to your asking members for opinions on your search for multi-million dollars mansions, you ALWAYS did too much in trying to prove you were better than and above everyone else. Aging hasnt mellowed you, only made you more desperate for attention and affirmation. For a doctor, that you claim to be, your bedside manner needs an overhaul. Its funny that your take-away from my critique of you is that I was "jealous and bitchy". That says alot about YOU and your fragile, needy psyche. Olddaddy, PeterRS, unicorn and 1 other 1 3 Quote

You're hallucinating. I had only one (relatively young--he was 25 when we first met) Latin lover--the lyin' Paraguayan. You need a reality check. I didn't start this string. The original poster specifically asked other posters to summarize their last year (and listed his year, as did other responders). If you're not interested, don't read the responses (and shut up about it). And, for the record, I didn't feel taken advantage of (although he did lie to me). We had some great times together, and I don't regret our time together (though I won't put up with being lied to). When other posters recounted being ghosted after those posters showed the young men kindness, I offered my support and words of encouragement. I don't see any other explanation for your disagreeable comments, other than jealousy. You're the one starting things up with nasty comments, then comment on my demeanor?
