Hi KijangBesar,
Thanks for the info. The reason I'll be in Pontianak is that, as far as I know, there are no direct flights from Kuching to Balikpapan or Samarinda. So, as I have to stay at least one night in Pontianak, why not seek for company? Unless you happen to have different info about the direct flights from Kuching, Malaysia.

BALIKPAPAN
I know a girl in Balikpapan who now tells me she's working in a Karaoke there. As a Karaoke girl, she gets on in English better than most Indo girls so she would be ideal as an introducer.
If someone still needs infos, they can e-mail me and I can ask her if she agrees for me to give her phone number to a man in need of introductions. She has no e-mail.

Dear xxl,
Just back from Balikpapan with no major success. I wish I read your reply earlier.
Cheers anyway

Sorry to hear that,
But it's no wonder. My girl kept saying that Balikpapan was a VERY small thing compared to Jakarta.

xxl [/i][/QUOTE]Sorry no_commit,
Am not a regular visitor to this website, hence my late reaction.
Indeed Balikpapan is peanuts compared to Jakarta: for Caucasians just 1 major, safe pick-up bar (Borneo Pub, Dusit Inn Hotel), 2 or 3 secondary (Luwai Bar, Benakutai Hotel, the bar at Bahana Surya Hotel, bar at Gran Bumi Senyiur). One very major, but much less safe site: Pinisi discotheque next to Hotel Bahtera (100m from Hotel Benakutai). Pinisi is very, very smokey (even for a heavy smoker), very, very dark (the 'lady' courting you could very well be a 'gentleman'; you would see the difference only in the lobby of your hotel), and very, very much the centre of the local drug scene. Next there are plenty of karaokes; most taxi drivers can bring you there (Mawar Taxis: [0542-]412525, flag fall Rp 3,000 but minimum charge 10,000; Kalung Mas Taxis: [0542-]732222, flat charge within Balikpapan Rp 20,000).
Security at Borneo Pub/Dusit Inn hotel is reasonable up to standards, and certainly best in Balikpapan. Standard: ladies may not initiate contact, unless very clearly 'invited'; no visible or invisible fights among ladies if a patron chooses to change services, even after 'lasting' relationships. By non-compliance: blacklist. Borneo Pub is the only bar that charges Indonesians an entrance fee ('reimbursed' in drinks) thus selecting 'serious' ladies who dare and can "invest" in a business opportunity. Hence the queue of ladies at, or near, the entrance: all trying to get a free entrance on the arm of a westerner. If you feel generous: take 1, 2, 3 and enter, then dump them if you don't like them; no harm or costs to you.
The non-standard part of security: reasonably, and for Indonesia: amazingly, tough car checks when rolling in: interior inspection, mirror inspection of car underside, sometimes even have to open the hoods and doors. Well, that is: in 'tense' times like Christmas, New Year, Eastern, Muslim Fasting, and during certain armed conflicts (like now).
Ladies at Borneo Pub vary from the long-time experienced professional, to (on occasion) a brand-new beginner rigth out a remote village; from 45+ to 18-; from occasional freelancer seeking to get money for school fees/a colour TV, to freelancers out for fun, to ladies looking for a 'marriage contract' for 1-3 years (at anything between US$10,00-50,000 [!!!] per year), to the outright innocent ignorant. And just ladies, fed up with Indonesian men, looking for a real husband (on occasion). And in between some pretty weird characters/preferences ... . And any combination of the above.
Most ladies have a mobile/handphone (sometimes getting quite a number of calls when 'engaged' to you; but, with imagination and patience you can turn that in a lot of exiting fun ... ). Could provide a good handful.
Better luck next time

Hi KijangBesar
I will be in Balikpapan late next month. Could you recommend any of the girls you listed in your post of 25 December. If so I would be interested in getting handphone number(s).
I was in Balikpapan last year and met a girl in the Borneo Pub named Reni (not sure of the spelling). Do you know her and, if so, is she still there.
Look forward to your reply.
Cheers

Balikpapan,
I stayed at Dusit Hotel. It has a night club where a few girls hang around. Don't expect to see tens of desperate girls as in Jkt. Maybe ten girls with their bule friends + 2 or 3 girls who are free.
Hotel massage girls who do traditional massage will also do a handjob for a fee (+ 300 thousand).
Not far from Dusit (ten minute's walk) there's a Karaoke by the name of Shantu or Shanty.
Taxis are a problem, there are few of them and they're about 3 times as expensive as in Jkt.

OK Lynxcat,
Have not been in the Borneo Pub much since early March. Don't know Reni, much less if she's still around.
If you have an e-mail address, I'll send the HP numbers there.
Cheers,

Bad luck xxl,
On weekdays, particularly on Monday, there are few girls. But Fri thru Sun there are plenty. Maybe not as desperate as in Jakarta, but much better behaved. Continue walking for another 10 minutes after the Shantu karoake, and you'll find the Pinisi disco: plenty of choice, but a bit dark and smokey (make sure you don't end up with a lady-boy!). Better even, stay at Hotel Benakutai or Bahtera next door: cheaper than Dusit but good enough.
Rp 300,000 for a handjob from a massage girl is pretty steep. For Rp 3-400,000 you can get an all-nighter! ST for Rp 150-250,000!
Taxi's are plenty and about as cheap as in Jakarta (see my posting last month) but avoid hotel taxis: good, prompt, but Rp30-40,000 within town.
Better luck next time.

Any tips on [b]Bogor[/b]?
Bogor is only an hour's drive away from Jakarta so maybe I should post on the Jakarta conference.
What I would like to know is whether there are local girls or whether it's basically one of those places you bring girls to.
I once came across a newspaper article about police raiding drug parties in Bogor hotels, so it is a place of sin.

Hi xxl,
Moving around a bit, hey.
Lived in Bogor for 6 yr ('89-95). Very little choice. The catch: yes, just an hour's drive from Jakarta, but also from the Puncak Pass an hour further on (to Bandung). About 100-500,000 Jakartans move up the mountai every weekend. And pass Bogor along the tollway. No business, no girls. In short: bring your own girls, or go up the Puncak Pass.
Having said that, there used to be the Barracuda Bar. Bar not bad, but a drugs nest. Even back in '87. Very bad experience there then.
If you don't bring your girls: try your luck at the bar of Hotel Mirah (forget about the bar of/next to Pangranggo I, or the other Pangranggos).
Anyway, when in Bogor I'm happy with Dewi (Dewi Malonge, a.k.a Dewi 'Bugis'): 0812-9586575
Good luck

The weirdest sex scene in Java:
About forty kilometers from Solo, in Central Java, is the small, undistinguished village of Sumberlawang. Nothing much happens in Sumberlawang - except once every thirty-five days, every fifth Friday night ("Jumat Pon" according to the Javanese calendar).
On these Fridays, up to ten thousand people gather in the forest around the tomb of some old Javanese king, to pray for wealth, prosperity, and so on. In fact, this happens all around Java, and at each tomb, there is something different you have to do if you want the magic to work. At some, you have to sit quietly without eating all night. At others, you can't take a leak all night.
At Sumberlawang, to make your wish come true, you have to have sex with someone other than your lawful wedded spouse.
The tomb is set on the top a hill and is surrounded by a forest. On the right day, you wander round and it looks like a combination of Woodstock and a Fellini movie, couples shagging on blankets, up against trees, or, for the unduly modest, in these little shacks you can rent out for about a dollar. The whole scene is just completely fucking surreal, with incense and kerosene torches burning, shamans at the tomb muttering spells, traders selling scorpion oil and other aphrodisiacs, small troupes of wandering minstrels.
There is quite a large colony of sex-workers here who stay here all month long, but their main market is the villagers and farmers in the surrounding area. Enough said. But on the special Friday nights, women come pouring in from all over Central Java. And not just sex-workers. Many, perhaps most, are married or divorced women, looking for a bit extra on the side.
When I was there, I ran into a farmer's wife, quite cute in a village-girl sort of way. She approached me, and suggested we go to one of the shacks, and did the negotiating with the Ibu who ran the place. The girl had one of those thin, strong, wiry bodies that rural labor seems to build. She wasn't, it must be said, into anything other than straight sex, unless you count bringing her friend along with her. I suppose I could have done the friend, too, but I did my girl twice instead.
After, we went to a nearby warung and ate some spicy fried chicken together, I slipped her the equivalent of five bucks, which seemed to make her quite happy, and we parted ways.
For those who are interested, the name of the graveyard is Gunung Kemungkus, about 29 kilos north of Solo towards Sumberlawang. Look at any Indonesian calendar to find out when "Jumat Pon" is - every fifth Friday. The scene is completely cool, you don't have to worry about getting mugged, although as in any crowded environment in Indonesia, you should watch your wallet. Being able to speak a bit of Indonesian would obviously make the whole thing a lot more rewarding. You'd probably be best to take a car or motorbike, although you could find a ride back to Solo if you wanted. Otherwise, you could, I suppose, sleep in one of the afore-mentioned little shacks.
Well, you can't spend your whole life in the Marabaya Bar, you know.

I will be for a few days in Palu and Manado. Any suggestion? Thanks, dear friends!
-
Magnet,
There's only one decent hotel in Palu. Next to this hotel is a disco, where you can find quit a lot of girls. I can't give you more info about them (price, quality etc) as I had company at that time. But please feel free ;-) to tell us about your experience.
As for Manado, take a walk on the boulevard and you might "catch" a nice GF. Otherwise ask the cabdrivers for Mandala and Merpati, they will understand. That is, if those places still exist. I haven't been there for about 5 years.

Sorong. I will be there in a week for Scuba diving. Does anybody know if there is any action out there AT ALL? Pls help me decide if I should arrive early...Thanks
