Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

Paris, Italy are glamour, where is glamour in Asia,

It is very locallized in Asia. You can probably never find a single pure glam city. But many cities with a few glam places around Asia. Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo of course. But also Shanghai can be very upscale. I only know Singapore and HK very well myself, but have friends in the other two also. Even Bangkok, Beijing and Shenzhen has some upscale places now. All of which I have been to.

Its a nice city, but it is not as good as image they managed to build. French and Italian are best for marketing. I mean look at their fashion industry LOL!. It is quality product, but when they begin selling hand bag for 6000 euro minimum up to half million dollar for Himalayan chroco Hermes bag LOL, it is called best marketing in the world. So it is good quality place, but not as good as they managed to market it.

Paris, Italy are glamour, where is glamour in Asia, or even US now, except Victoria secret. Many Russian escorts go to Dubaï for big money, or to Ibiza for party, but most don't return, but they return to Paris where less money to make, but for fashion. I m happy about that.

Hello from the UK! What is going on? We are at the peak. For two weeks we've had 700+ deaths per day (save one day below 500). You are right. We reacted too late, but the big difference between us and say Germany is the awful testing rates.

Announced today in UK. Social distancing measures until end of 2020. So I think the large number of UK guys going to FKKs from the UK (me included) are unlikely to be visiting at all in 2020 whenever they finally reopen. I suspect some will close for good due to the financial bite but hope the big clubs, Sharks, Oase, Artemis, Mainhattan and Palace survive for 2021!

Today I am happy that I have both a UK and Swedish passport. I have stayed in Sweden for the last 2 months so I have avoided the UK lockdown. UK is in a bit of mess battling this but Swedens strategy is terrible in my opinion. It is saved because of the low density of population. Hope Sharks make it so I can go in December, Screw the rest of the clubs.

Dreams, your mailbox is full but I posted a question for you in the FKK Lounge.

[Sirioja]

Never been to Paris, mainly due to no FKKs. But also because around here it has the reputation of being a bit gay, with men using too much styling of clothes and hair, and acting like desperate once they see a northern girl. So it comes off as trying to impress people in a bit fake manner.

But lately some people also claim that is not the situation any longer too. But with corona, Who knows? We can't even travel anywhere.

But Russian, Belarus, Latvian, Estonian, Polish, Croatian escorts, even we lost when closed on 2016 after police raid, probably best escorts agency, Amour Russe.

I think Paris is famous enough all over the world, I don t need to promote. Only Saint Petersburg, Roma, Athens and a bit different but Istanbul and Jerusalem can compete with Paris, I mean for culture. But many of our best cooker and restaurants are in other parts of France. Center and around Lyon are famous for high level restaurants. Most of our best cooker are famous enough and don t need anymore guide Michelin promotion, only useful for those who look for promotion. Paris water is still safe for me, and used by more than 10 millions people around.

But too many deaths, around 21 000 deaths now from covid in France, 80% older than 70 yo and 67% of others with health problems. Confined since 17 March would have saved more than 60 000 life, and only about 5% people were infected, according to our medical staff. Under confined until 11 May, but restart work on field with my teams on 1 April, after getting administration allowances about safety conditions made for guys. But, like me, they are happy to work to have full earning to eat. In France, unemployed are paid 84% but with a limit, I would not be paid 84% of my full earning, so I prefer to work, at same risk with my guys, and to pay tax for my country which should be at least 200 billions deficit at the end of the year. Real crisis. My guys are funny, telling me when they came back after about 2 or 3 weeks: We are better to work, we were bored with wife all day at home. Maybe should have been good time to seduce her again and to fuck her a lot, like a princess, to give her plenty of orgasms, then usually women ask for again, when they often find guys boring for sex.

[DasBooty]

All good but I keep just presenting data in the form of rates. Reading the BBC article, it just shows that countries like the UK are underestimating their rates since they are not counting nursing home rates which further makes my case.

The takeaway from the article:

For comparisons to be useful, says Rowland Kao, professor of data science at the University of Edinburgh, there are two broad issues to consider.

"Does the underlying data mean the same thing? And does it make sense to compare two sets of numbers if the epidemiology (all the other factors surrounding the spread of the disease) is different?"

As long as countries test and report differently comparisons won't be useful. Unless you are this clown https://media.npr.org/assets/img/202...9-s800-c85.jpg.

Salaam Dreams,

If you encounter xenophobia in Paris or Tokyo, just whip out your Qur'an and start chanting. Works wonders for me. If God is on my side, who will be against me?

The modern equivalent would be to cough your way through the door.

Actually, Japan is one of most pro Muslim nation, we are more neutral toward them. As an example, Japan is one of most understanding of ally of Iran, it is just that Japan is always sandwiched between USA and Saudi Arabia, which both are good friend of Japan, but they both hate Iran, but we try to be intermediary, which is proved to be impossibly hard LOL.

The US has a total of less than 1000 deaths in the last 5 days. We have a total of less than 50000 deaths nationwide for the entire pandemic. In a nation of 330,000,000 people. Yes, a lot of us are finished watching politicians grab for power using the pandemic as an excuse, and we are hitting the streets to protest.

Well, actually over 2000 per day, so perhaps you meant 10 K?

[Mr Ho]

Was virus a strategy to spread power?

I do not think China leaked it on purpose, no, they are not that crazy, but they will use it to buy out companies etc to spread power, and they already began, they are buying up rock bottom Brent oil now and their rapid movement in south China sea with battle ship after a US air craft carrier is taken out with virus.

Here are the death rates for Germany and Korea: 65 deaths per million, 5 deaths per million.

Korea's health care system is world class, but are you going to tell me it is 13 times better than that of Germany? Of course not, Korea's numbers are low because their government was more prepared and did not underestimate the threat.

Definitely not 13 times better if any better at all. I wouldn't dare say that the healthcare system quality and death rates have a true linear correlation. Now the preparedness of the Korean government and its people status post SARS circa 2004 may however have an exponential correlation to their low death rates.

Fact remains, US has one of the highest ICU beds per capita, dialysis machines per capita, ventilators per capita in the world. The fact that we traditionally spend / waste tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars per patient per ICU visit to revive people who will surely survive to only live a poor quality of life has trained our healthcare providers for this outbreak. Our system is built to handle the extremely sick, we're used to high acuity patients. It's just the primary care system and general health of the population where there are holes.

This is hilarious. It's not even close that Japan is leaps and bounds above Italy in culinary arts. Want simple good food, sure Italy is great. For true culinary art, it's Japan 100 x.

Tongue-in-cheek-article by British author who lives in Italy and is not a fan Italian food:

"A few months ago, Nigerian migrants housed at a government hostel in Milan suddenly refused to eat any more of the free food on offer. Italian food is monotonous and indigestable, they explained. Then they went berserk."

https://life.spectator.co.uk/articles/even-hunry-migrants-wont-eat-the-food-in-italy/

In general, Italians don't have an appreciation for non-Italian food. Older Italians are set in their ways. Italians under age of 25 haven't discovered anything beyond McDonalds yet. Italians between ages of 25-35 are slightly more open-minded perhaps due to instagram and "foodie" culture. But overall, there is not a lot of ethnic food in Italy, besides cheap all you can eat Chinese buffet. Most Italians don't realize that the Chinese customers either order from a completely different menu or they go to different Chinese restaurants where the clientele is 80 percent Chinese. In other words, the average Italians' appreciation of Chinese food, would be the equivalent of one of us judging Romanian beauty based off of a one time visit to an AO club that only had six WGs in their daily LU.

\NYC's death rate sit at roughly 50-60% the rate of the 13+% death rate countries like UK, Italy, and France. NYC is more dense than any city or country in Europe and their death rate is the highest in the Us.

Here are the death rates for Germany and Korea: 65 deaths per million, 5 deaths per million.

Korea's health care system is world class, but are you going to tell me it is 13 times better than that of Germany? Of course not, Korea's numbers are low because their government was more prepared and did not underestimate the threat.

I love Japan, been there more than 50 times in the last 20 years, longing to be allowed in back, f. 100's of women there. But like all places, like Paris it has its dark sides. Such as open xenophobia: How often did I get the cross arms sign when trying to enter a public place (and not always sex related shops)?
