Thanks for the info. Have tried to learn some Java / Bahasa but none of my regulars were willing to teach me so the gaps were too long for me to retain much. Currently been going to Bali to meet some regulars who actually are from there or just live across the water.

The most prominent bordello is Symphony next to Majapahit hotel. There are others like the' King, Monalisa, Gandaria in Kedungdoro area. You might need to know basic Bahasa to get by.

Good to know. What about fish bowl local haunts? They tend to be much cheaper though a little rough.

I wouldn't recommend Cosmos, the only thing going for this spa is that it is next to Tunjungan Plaza, the most popular mall in Surabaya.
At the highest end you have Czar spa which houses locals, Chinese, Thai and sometimes Vietnamese and Russians. Other spas are Atmosphere and Celsius spa and Mr Spa.
If you prefer genuine massage with just HJ try Delta and Graha spa.

Hi:
As usual, I'll submit reports as warranted. Having RTTFed I'm planning:
- Friday afternoon / early evening: I'm a bule who speaks no Indo but want to try a department store girl at Ciputra World Mall or Tunjungan Plaza.
If fail: Symphony.
- Saturday day: outdoor activity (surfing or hiking nearby that's any good?
Night: Spa (Cosmo or Czar / See'Zar) or Symphony if success night before.
- Sunday morning: Anything open at 10-11 am so I can get to the airport for a 2:45 flight?
Anyone who speaks English feel like partying?

Thanks. I usually stick with English speakers just because it is more interesting for me. Hotel staff are on my list but it takes time. As does some restaurant staff. Some of the girls are just better with languages and picked up English somehow while in some backwater indo places. Not that I am complaining. With the Internet, that pool will get bigger.

I don't speak Bahasa but I think I need to in order to access the more local market. Many of lady friends make it a point not to teach me! LOL
Like you it was 10 years ago I was in Semarang. I had contacts thru Yahoo chat in those days but did get one in Ciptra? Mall who kept on looking at me and had some English skills. I think it was called the ABC bar in one of the international hotels that looked likely but I was with another girl and couldn't test the waters but she didn't leave me any longer then a quick toilet break due to attention I was receiving from the other girls in the room.

I usually have 3 nights in Bali before I meet the rest of the family and between the beach and hotel pool I am usually occupied thru the daylight hours. Thinking about it I can easily transfer the afternoon before and have the night in Surabaya. Food for thought for my April trip.

I think outside of Jakarta and Kuta not much thought is put into other areas of Indo which is a shame because there are some stunning girls all over the country. The biggest issue as you stated is the lack of English but that can be overcome with google translator.

Most definitely there will be an attraction from the girls. With Bahasa a little goes a long way so maybe pick up on some basics like Hello, etc. I'm a middle aged guy over weight and I go ok so you will be ok.
Good luck and write a report.

You must think like me regarding the department store girls. I have wondered how easy they would be to pick up and I get the vibe that they are interested in trying a bule by the looks that they generate. I will be in Bali in April solo for a few days and I'm going to try to pick up one when I'm there. I'm usually with my wife when I go to a department store and the looks they give me then are very promising.
