Jupe is scheduled to work at the Emporium club (both her and the club have gone rather downhill over the past 6 months unfortunately) - on one of the upcoming Wednesdays in August.

She will cost the 100 k entrance fee, 600 k for the half hour room deal the fagasans offer, and whatever you deem fit to pay afterwards.

I'm not in town but would be interested in a report.

"She" will cost 100 k entrance and 600 k for a half hour room? I don't get the meaning of that. There is no way that anyone is having sex with Jupe for 600 k. She just had that big hit song last year and she's still on TV almost daily.

I have sessioned with almost all the nationalities of South East Asia.
(1) Filipinas (the best from my experience);.
(2) Thais / Chinese (I can't rate either above the other);.
(3) Indians.

Interesting topic, but given the huge variety of venues, it's difficult to rate the entire nationalities for PFP quality.

For instance, in Thailand, there's everything from $10 streetwalkers and low-end brothels, over Farang oriented beer bars, agogo bars and various "massage" options, to high-end gentleman's clubs for wealthy Thais. Service levels vary vastly, since expectations vary depending on the venue. More expensive is not always better, though (higher price buys selection, surroundings and average looks, not so much service quality).

In my experience (mostly in lower-end venues), Chinese have been almost invariably awful (grab the money and run, provide minimal service if forced), while Thais were at attempting to be somewhat agreeable, even at the low end. As for Indonesians, I don't have extensive experience, but their attitude seems more similar to Thais than to Chinese for me. They make some effort to get along, and provide OK, if not stellar service.

Dear all Seniors,

I was stationed in Jakarta last year for few months and have quite a lot of funs back then in Blok M (Top Gun or MyBar) and during my 2 months stay there, I have 1 frequent girl who I continuous repeat and her name is Mawar.

And I will be going back to Jakarta on this coming September and I did try to contact her but her mobile is unreachable. I would like to ask if any of the seniors brothers here know any girl that name Mawar still available in Blok M?

Thanks in advance.

.. Money not an issue as long as can get regular face you see on TV or magazines, no necessarily Luna-Jupe level.

Cheers.

I have sessioned with almost all the nationalities of South East Asia. Of these I have a lot of experience with four and would rate their service levels as follows:

(1) Filipinas (the best from my experience);.

(2) Thais / Chinese (I can't rate either above the other);.

(3) Indians.

I do not have enough experience with Indonesians to rate them, have just been with a few. Is there anyone with considerable experience with both Indonesians and Thais to rate their service levels against each other?

[Hilo77]

Yep, 100% agree. If it had been a man damaging his property and they were in certain states in the USA presumably he would have been within his rights to pull out a gun and use deadly force to stop him. Of course this is Indonesia, and Egy was not packing a gun, I assume!

I'm still dying to know how he dealt with the police though.

Go to youtube and check out Bill Burr (aka Kuby from Breaking Bad), his routine "Why I do this" covers this, 23 minutes in, very funny.

Also "Bill Burr on Rihanna and Chris Brown", every ass kicking doesn't just fall out of the f*ing sky.

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

At first they wanted some money to drop charges but I refused to give them. Probably a deal was made that they all get a piece of the pie including the hooker.

I told them what really happened and they believed me. Her version of the story was that I took her by force and raped her!

She didn't tell them she was a freelance prostitute which only made matters worse on her end (technically being an illegal activity according to Indonesian law).

They knew she was full of shit and I even told them they could check the CCTV on the elevator if they wanted to see if I really took her by force.

I spoke in fluent Bahasa which shocked the hooker. Previously I had only conversed in English. Had she known I could speak in Bahasa perhaps she wouldn't have tried to launch bogus charges against me.

I take a photo of mine and store it in my Hand Phone. Or you can make a photo copy and carry that with your International drivers license. Never carry your PP for any reason unless you need to clear the airport.

I would do that, but I worry that if I bring out my cell phone and show the cop a picture, he might scroll through and see all the naked pictures I've taken of the Indo girls I've recently had sex with. Then he'd have me on a pornography charge.

[Robert Long]

I completely agree. There is no way that I would recommend carrying your passport around Jakarta with you to try to save 10 bucks on the rare occasion the cops pull you over. I've been pulled over an average of less than once a year. Even if I were pulled over once a month, I still would not carry my passport.

That's because Batam is in a Free Trade Zone, hence there is no import tax levied on the items unlike most other places in Indonesia.

Also the *duty free* shop in Changi Airport is a free trade zone, that is without taxes applied on new prices!

Such a price difference (excl. Taxes) is huge (100 Eur vs. 150 Eur).

[Smoothy]

I leave my passport hidden somewhere in the room, not necessarily in the room safe either. I would rather hand over $10 once in a while than risk losing my passport. Luckily I have never been stopped so never had to pay the bribe, I actually thought it was higher than that.

The one time--a few years ago--I was pulled over in a Blue Bird taxi the criminal in blue (or brown) first asked for $100 US. I laughed (as in that's not going to happen) and ended up giving him 100,000 rupiah, around $10. I had heard back then you could get away with 50,000, but it didn't really matter to me; I just wanted to get out of there.

These days the amount I hear most often is 100,000, which is now less than $8. But the idea of dealing with corrupt cops makes me want to avoid situations where it is likely to happen (e.g., for awhile I knew where in North Jakarta they were likely to be posted during the evenings and so avoided those routes).

True. But some months ago I noticed a bottle of Cognac Remy Martin XO 750 ML, which is priced about 150 EUR in duty free shops of most airports wordwide incl. Europe and Singapore Changi, sold for 1. 45 M IDR in a shop of Batam!.

That is about 100 EUR at the rate of that time.
Mysteries of Indonesia. Fake? Deteriorated? Stolen? Underground market?

That's because Batam is in a Free Trade Zone, hence there is no import tax levied on the items unlike most other places in Indonesia. If the exporting country then also has a tax free agreement with Indonesia the only factor is profit of the companies involved. That's also the reason why cars in Batam are very cheap and you are able to actually import your car into the island, something nearly impossible in the rest of Indo. Small problem; if you wish to take the car of the island you are required to pay the full amount of taxes, so event he ferry to Bintan won't be possible in that imported car.

If you know where to look, cheap black market alcohol can be had in Jakarta as well, at nearly the same prices. The way it works, legit companies import 100 boxes of item x, pay the duty on 80% of it and sell 20% on the black market at higher margin rates for them. Still cheap if you compare it to the selling prices in most shops, see list below for example. First price is box, second per bottle. No, contacts are not available through PM.

Out of an abundance of caution I always carry my passport in a passport holder in my front pocket and securely tied to a belt loop. It is a PITA but I too dread getting stopped particularly without my passport.

I leave my passport hidden somewhere in the room, not necessarily in the room safe either. I would rather hand over $10 once in a while than risk losing my passport. Luckily I have never been stopped so never had to pay the bribe, I actually thought it was higher than that.

The guys complaining about that are likely Americans. American men have been brain washed over the past 40 years. I know because I'm one of them. If you look at the old movies, American men slapped women all the time when they got out of line. Even Ronald Reagan did it in the movies. These days, we have it beaten into our heads that it's not acceptable at any time to touch a woman in any way. Even if the woman goes ballistic and burns your house down, you can't touch her. I've never hit a woman in any manner in my life and likely never will. But casting aside the decades of mental conditioning in my life in the USA, and logically reviewing the situation, that chick deserved to be slapped. I think our way of looking at it in the USA is wrong. I agree that you shouldn't "beat" a woman. But to slap her with reasonable force when she is clearly acting destructively towards you or your possessions, in order to let her know that is not acceptable, should be fine.
