Losing My Seoul In Capital Alley
This is my first post on this forum. I have found this site more helpful that any other in guiding me on my adventures abroad.
I set off for a nine-day trip to Asia intending take in the sights and culture of that wonderful continent and, of course, also find my way into the arms of a variety of exotic women. First stop was Seoul, Korea. It was my first time there, and I had absolutely zero connections or knowlege of the language or culture. However, having been to Japan before I found it fairly easy to adjust to the environment. Not many Koreans are fluent in English, but most know enough to provide basic assistance to a clueless foreigner like me. Korea was nowhere near as challenging as I found Japan to be.
I stayed at the Fairfield by Marriot in Yeongdeungpo. Some light research on YouTube had pointed me to a street known as "Capital Alley" - identified on Google Maps as "Yeongjung-ro 4-gil" and located adjacent to Seoul's Times Square. It appeared from the videos to be a place where ladies advertised themselves in glass windows for passing clients, apparently one of the last surviving bastions of brick-and-mortar service providers following the outlawing of prostitution 20 years ago. And that's exactly what I was looking for on the first night of my trip - "point and shoot" sex with an exotic Korean beauty, hopefully at an affordable price.
I took a quick shower, stopped by a restaurant for a bite to eat, and then headed over to the scandalous alley at around 8 pm It was a cold but clear Tuesday night. Sure enough, there they were. Decently attractive Korean women behind glass windows, most of them doing their hair and makeup. I would estimate that there were a dozen to fifteen separate windows in the alley that were "open for business" and possibly more that were closed or had stepped out for dinner. My loins tingled at the sexual bounty that lay before my eyes. Surely the hardest part would be choosing the right one and getting a good price.
I sauntered confidently up to the first window, and using my translator, asked the price for 2 hours of her time. The answer was a flat "no. " No, as in, she straight up does not accept foreigners like me. I was a little taken aback, so I moved on to another lady a couple of windows down. Same answer. Each window brought more rejection. Many did not even open the door to speak with me. They just shook their head at me at disgust or shooed me away.
Honestly, I was a little miffed at this rough treatment. I had assumed that these ladies would, at best, be falling over themselves to entice a tall exotic foreigner into their beds, or at worst, be quoting a steep price to make sure that the hassle of my communication difficulties and cultural differences were worth their while. But outright rejection over and over left a bitter taste. I told myself it wasn't me, it was simply the fact that I was a foreigner. But a part of me wondered if it was me, if I had lost my touch. Couldn't they see how damn charming I was and make an exception for me? Or was I not charming at all?
I figured that the ladies might soften their stance as the night wore on and the available supply of clients began to dwindle. And perhaps some different, hopefully kinder, women worked the late night shift. So I went back to the hotel and took a nap. Returned around 2:30 am There were fewer windows open, but many of the same women and mostly the same result. I also have to add that these women certainly were not "high end" beauties. But I was turned away by a few that I probably wouldn't sleep with for free.
I finally found one with middling looks who quoted me 200 k won ($150) for 20 minutes. I told her I needed at least an hour, but she wouldn't budge. For 20 minutes, that price was exorbitant and I only had about 180 k on me. I suggested 100 k for 20 minutes. She politely declined. Even though she was nowhere close to my usual standard, I wanted to give this woman business just for being so cordial and not giving me the finger like the rest. But alas, I could not be faithful to my mongering principles and pay that type of price for what was almost certain to be a brief and unsatisfying experience. So I walked away.
Back at the hotel, I contacted a few escort services by WhatsApp. They all quoted me 300 k to 500 k ($225-375) or more for 45 minutes. I could probably have a fresh-off-the-boat Korean girl back in the USA For close to that amount or less. The price was always non-negotiable or so high I didn't even want to make an offer.
Bottom line, I found Korea to be a wasteland for mongering opportunities for foreigners with no Korean connections and no experience with Korean language, culture, or social networking platforms. Based on my one night experience, I can see why they call the residence of the Korean president the Blue House. Because that's the color most mongers' balls will be when they leave that country. I couldn't get to Thailand soon enough.
If it was my first trip to Asia, I'd do Thailand first
[QUOTE=BravoFox;2901949]Love them Kgirls! Looking to travel to Asian next and Korea is on my list. How would you go about it if it was your first visit again? Would you pick Korea? I was looking at Japan but I am wanting more than a L1 and L2 service for foreigners. In Japan I hear you can get it but a little more difficult. Thailand and Philippians seem over run and over commercialized. Service is declining as well from what I read. I was looking into Jakarta as well.[/QUOTE]I'm very proud to say that in my time I've hobbied the world over, I've fucked chicks from Prague to Nuremberg, Frankfurt to London, New York to Montreal, Vegas, Singapore, Bangkok, Amsterdam and even freaking Auckland NZ. In my humble estimation, the best chicks I ever got was in Prague and Singapore, but that's more about the chicks and the establishments I found them in and how management ran them, more than the city itself. But in terms of the best city to hobby in? Bangkok bar none.
While you can't go wrong with Korean chicks, whether you bang them in Seoul, Busan or even Toronto or NYC, in Seoul itself the best place to start are probably the anmas. Always try some kissbangs too. Unique experience though a bit hit or miss. For anmas, try Tiffany, Donuts or Fish. The thing with Korean chicks, and if you've had them here in north america, they have a pretty set routine, and if they're into it, they can be really good, but the routine in and of itself is already pretty good. The really good ones will rim, but that depends on your luck.
In Tokyo, the obvious place is Tokyo Hentai Club, safest bet, my go to when I'm town, but plenty of other joints to try.
If I got to do it all over again, my first trip to Asia would definitely not be the country I was stuck in. Trust me dude, it was decades ago, and let's just say I had no choice, and I've suffered PTSD from it ever since. All thanks to uncle sam. If I got to live my life all over again, under far better circumstances, I'd do Thailand. Absolutely Thailand.
Years, decades of hobbying, and I discovered the joys and magic of Thailand too late. Don't worry friend, despite what people say, Thailand isn't too commercialized or over exposed that you can't find a good time. If anything, it's precisely because of all that, is why you can find the good stuff among all the nonsense aimed at clueless sex tourists. Take it from this experienced sex tourist, the first time I went to Bangkok, I approached it like I did with all my sex trips and by that logic, I failed, and it wasn't a good of a trip as it could have been, almost made me give up on Thailand. But I persevered. I said to myself, knowing this city, it can't be the place itself, it was me. I did Thailand wrong. I was doing it all wrong. Because with Bangkok, all the rules for p4 p that works elsewhere in the world don't apply to Bangkok. So I did plenty of research, like a treasure hunter in a movie, I scoured internet forums from all over the weird, Japanese forums, Singaporean forums, you name it, and I armed myself with knowledge.
And lo and behold, my next trip to Bangkok changed my life. It changed me. For the best because now I felt that I had found the holy grail of mongering destinations, but for the worst because now I had become obsessed with going back there again. You can read all my reviews on the 3 weeks I spent in Bangkok 2 summers ago, and there you'll find the myriad choices you'll have when it comes to hobbying in Thailand. Nowhere in the world are there this many options, price ranges, availability, etc. And the country is safe, affordable, the food is great. Depending on what you look like, you might even be treated with reverence. I never felt so respected, and given so much leeway before. Where I'm from and where I am now, I'm essentially human garbage, but in Bangkok, I felt like a king.
Jakarta is ok, but like Manila, and kuala lumpur, dangerous. Bangkok is incredibly safe, next to Singapore it's easily the second safest big city in all of South East Asia.
Also in Seoul, you'd do well to know a few phrases of Korean, it will go a long way, especially with the chicks. They always like it when the foreign guy makes an effort. Even better if you can read a little Hangul. It's incredibly easy to learn. In just a few hours, you'll get the general idea of how their writing system works. But in Thailand, no one gives two shits what language you speak. Sure, people are always happy when I say a few Thai words, but they honestly don't care.
So my friend, I'm happy for you on your sex trip, it's always a good thing to have, and for your time in Asia, I would recommend these countries, in this order for your visit.
Thailand first, have the time of your life, then onto Singapore since it's so near, stop by Tokyo for the always reliable Tokyo Hentai Club, then finally do Seoul for some anmas. Yes, without a doubt, the Korean and Japanese chicks will look better, but the Thai chicks will rock your world. Especially when you look at your wallet. Dollar for dollar, you can't go wrong with Bangkok. Thing is, if you've had a bad time in Seoul or Tokyo, odds are you've spent 200 bucks or more, and it'll bug you. But in Thailand, if you have a bad time, you might not have even spent 80 bucks. You'll grumble a little bit, walk over to the next massage brothel joint, and try again. With the readily available pharmaceutical assistance all over the place, you're always hard, always ready to go. Most places you'd have to bring your own supply or prescription. But not in Thailand baby! Boner pills galore. I thank Beelzebub for them! Now, if only someone would buy my soul, I'm trying to sell it. I really need the cash so I can retire in Thailand. I'd do that, I'd sell my soul to retire in Thailand.
Another reason for turning away foreigners
Prostitution is illegal in Korea. A few years ago it got out in the media US soldiers were going to these places filled with trafficked girls. Many of the bargirl spots became Korean only. Bargirls could only play darts or pool instead of drink.
I have a few girls in the RLD districts who will see me and gave me their kayak to stay in touch. They worry the police will shut them down for letting foreigners in. Of course it is also all the other reasons mentioned too.
