Bali

Why look for rocks among the white sand beaches?

Yes, there are many and they are available. Also Asian travellers. I had success with some of the fellow guests but there is a lot of potential baggage and problems that come with it.

As in some places along the Mediterranean, there are plenty of local "spears" cruising around. I think there was an Aussie documentary about it called Bali Cowboy. You can see young studs hanging around the girls, both young and old. But I prefer what is on offer by the indigenous population.

Hello all,

I've read that most of the reports in this forum discuss how to target and date Asian ladies. But what about the western, European ladies?

I've noticed tons of European 'backpackers' who are spending weeks, if not months in Bali, wandering around the scenic nature and enjoying the stress-free environment. Many of their dating app profiles start with "I left my corporate job and now travelling the world" or something similar.

But it seems these ladies aren't as easy to date as the Asian ladies. How should they be approached? What kind of guys do they usually date? (I know the Asians look for western guys who are willing to spend money on them). What about the european ladies? There are plenty of them but I think they need a different "strategy" to get a date with them.

Your input based on your experience is highly appreciated!

I don't know! If I wanted to sleep with western backpackers I would venture to Coogee and Bondi in Sydney. I haven't had sex with a western woman for 16 years and I have no desire to in the foreseeable future. I know a lot of younger Aussies will go to Bali for European backpackers but I can't see the point.

Hi friends,

I am travelling to Bali from Jan 20th 24th and staying in Mercure, Sanur. This is my fourth visit and I usually stayed in Legian street. I wish to explore Fish bowls in Saur following Baris map. Expecting a helping hand from senior members to recommend few active fishbowls near Mercure. Of course I will share my experience in the forum.

Thanks in advance. Happy mongering.

Can anyone clearly direct me to at least another really good one please. I don't want to ask a taxi driver as I ride around on a scooter.

I think the map is from an ISG member Barri. Just take a look. It is all there. Google is your friend. You can also follow his directions and update any missing or incorrect information. Or post the correct information and maybe some helpful reader will update the map.

In my many travels to Sanur I have only been able to locate the fishbowl in the lane behind the Circle K store. Each time I have been there I have had great service but I want to visit other fishbowls. I know there are many in the area but cannot find them. I've tried reading the map found on here but it's not that clear for me. Can anyone clearly direct me to at least another really good one please. I don't want to ask a taxi driver as I ride around on a scooter.

I think you mean the Bali monger map. It is still a great source and most things do not move much. Even if they do, you have a starting point on what to ask for by name. As for the the fish bowls in Sanur, they are on the map. If you have a bike you can ride around and find most of them. There are house numbers and some are easier because of landmarks.

If you don't want to ask a taxi, ask a bemo driver or one of the shop keepers. Bemo will most likely not charge but they will get a kickback from the establishment, to which you will pay a little more, maybe. So do it once and think of the time it will save and the future opportunities. Enjoy the fishing.

You know there are various versions of the Bali Monger Map out there, complete with addresses. For grins, I looked up the addresses on Google Maps, got down to "Street View" and found they were pretty obvious, thanks to the X marked next to the number. I actually came across the X address on places that were not on the monger map by just scrolling through the streets on Google Maps. My plan is to rent a bicycle, ride around in daylight on a recon mission to scope out the alleged locations, and catch a cab back when they are open in the evening (I'm told they open later after dark).

Was on a family holiday for New Years. Sneaked our for a bit of fun at Riverview Spa. Was shown a lineup of 10 odd girls. Picked up a young Javanese named Dera (if I am correct) 22 years.

Routine Massage, boom boom & jacuzi followed by shower.

Damages 1060000/- IDR.

WIR. Maybe not.

Not sure when you extended your visa. Immigration office has been moved to Mumbul area (Jl Taman Jimbaran) perhaps about 6 months ago and probably even longer. No spa's with services like Onasis in that area for those who would ask.

I stand corrected as did not know the immigration office moved.

[Hiete]

One thing not mentioned about Onassis Spa is its proximity to the immigration office. It's across and up the street from this spa. When I went to extend my visa, I visited the spa for the first time. Pretty convenient after wasting half the afternoon at the immigration office.

Have 3 days only in Bali on stopover to Perth.

Some places have a full staff including driver. I would look at that if I were you. Alternatively, ask the taxi or person driving / picking you up cost of hiring them for several hours at a time or half day. Some restaurants will offer pickup service. I find that more convenient and safer.

[PayForIt]

For the prompt responses. I'm based just north of Seminyak so will head down to Riverview. Onasis is a it of hike from there and Sanur too far. I had a wander around Seminyak square last night and the surrounding roads but didn't see any action. Which was a surprise. Asked a taxi driver who said Riverview but then of course he would! Unlike in Bangkok it seems the average AMP on the street with the girls outside ready to do massages don't offer HJ. At least the 2 I visited yesterday both said no. Hence Riverview it is for me today unless you guys have other Seminyak suggestions. Much appreciate the quick reply yesterday.

Will be in Ubud this weekend.

Does anyone know if there's any play here!? Mainly interested in AMPS, and like the sound of Beer Massage.

Cheers, Gron.

Not much action in Ubud. I would take my one from Kuta or elsewhere.
