Seoul

[Carmex]

Gentlemen,

I don't know if this will work for everyone, but what I did to solve the police problem was to phone a certain provider and have her meet me in a hotel. It was a provider I had used before. We rented a small motel for 30, 000 won and had ST. She asked me to come by the club, but I told her if she wanted to meet me it had to be somewhere else and she responded. She also brought her sister (who she said was her twin, but turned out was not).

My suggestion would be to get the number from a provider who you enjoy and lay low for a while until this police thing blows over. Many of us have too much to lose if we get caught in one of the establishments.

Since the uniformed raids on the Hill last Tuesday didn't result in anything, the police have been sending out undercover police up and around the Hill at night.

despite the numerous crackdowns, there are still a large number of venues that seem invulnerable to this, whether they are located in kangnam or kangbuk.

I don't know whether they are invulnerable, but where I live (near Yeungdeungpo), many places are taking protection anyway.

They are taking the signs off the main street that say "Massage" in any language, but keeping their signs on the side streets so that they are less noticable. This makes the places harder to find, but maybe they'll last longer.

Also, I know I've written this before, but it bears repeating: some full service places call themselves "namja hyugashil" (Gentlemen's Leisure Room) "sports massage", or "stress clinic", which is something to watch for. (The one in front of Yongsan Station, for example, calls itself a "glamour clinic", but it's the same full service as an anmajang, but for W100, 000. You just need to make a reservation.)

My colleague advised me that his good friend went for some fun at an anma over in busan recently, only to be called the next day by police since he used a credit card for the transaction. He was not fined but merely warned and told that his actions will be closely monitored.

Still, despite the numerous crackdowns, there are still a large number of venues that seem invulnerable to this, whether they are located in kangnam or kangbuk.

The reason why I have stayed out of mongering in Gangnam for over a month now. Does anyone have any first-hand information to add to this article:

OAH -- sorry about the Sox. Next year.

Intransit,

So close, yet so far away. They gave them a run for the money. Game 6 was sensational!

You mean Star Anma in Sinchon?

I forgot that they had changed their name to Venus Anma. However, it is located near the Nambu Bus Terminal subway stop (Line #3) but they are quite expensive at 200,000.00W per visit.

Police raided the hill in Itaewon on Tuesday but were unable to find anything suspicious due to the numerous cctv's the bars have on the hill ! !

[Looking Inrok]

The exchange rate in Korea is currently over 1400W to the U.S. dollars, I have never seen it this high in all my years here. For those of us who are paid in U.S dollars in Korea, this should help with some of those 150,000W to 200,000W places like Star Anma.

You mean Star Anma in Sinchon?

I live in Dongducheon, and it is true that the report severly crippled the mongering community. Several laws were inacted after the report and the outcries from the pentagon and several Washington Senators and lobbyists. To include the inactment of [CodeWord908] being illegal in Korea.

Does anyone know of a link to the original report? I have been trying to find it to no avail.

[Hairy Wonder]

Anybody have info on Dongducheon (last subway stop on line #1 north of Seoul-near the DMZ)? I know there is a large US army base there (Camp Carroll, I believe), so I assume there are lots of Filipinas and some Korean girls working there. Prices? Take out available? Glass front knock shops? Massage shops? In room massage available?

MS,

The US military base in Dongducheon is Camp Casey. It has a GI bar district near the main gate (across the street and over the railroad tracks) which has many Filipinas working there. They are forced by the bars to push for the juicy drinks, and try to get as many as they can from the guys going there. As Run Mann mentioned, you will probably have to buy a lot of drinks, and then pay a bar fine of $200 to $300 if you want to take a girl to the room with you. It could be more than that, since I haven't been there for a long time.

There is also Camp Hovey on the back side of Casey. I think the name of the ville outside it's gate is Tokarie (not sure). I never tried it, but I always heard that it was more wild than Dongducheon. However, this is also the area that Fox news did their scandalous "GI's supporting human trafficing" report on about 5 years ago. IMHO that is what caused the fall of a great mongering destination that was called Korea.

Is there action still at the Cheonho RLD? This was recommended to me by Halcyon901.- I ended up going there four times this past summer. I went back to the US in late August, and since then I've been reading the posts here about the crackdowns with dismay. Is Cheonho RLD still around? I hope to go back when I return to Seoul next summer.

There's a huge crackdown in many places now and it’s affecting Donduchon too. The RLDs are basically closed, Massage and Barber shops are available but you will not find any young hot girls in these places. The last time I visited an Anma in Donduchon they had the door closed and only open it when they saw who we were (was with a Korean friend) but closed it after we entered. Most of the bars outside the military bases are now serviced by Filipinas. However, their MO has always been to get you to buy them drinks made of juice at $10. to $20.00 a pop hence the name juicy girls. You can negotiate to take these girls out after work but it will be expensive. Donduchon is not worth the trip just for mongering
