Salon owner in Dubai denies offering bribe.
Masseuses were allegedly committing indecent acts with men in Dubai salon.
By Bassam Za'za', Senior Reporter Published: 00:00 December 14, 2010
Dubai: A Chinese salon owner has denied offering a Dh50, 000 bribe to an inspector at the Department of Economic Development (DED) to prevent him from inspecting his salon where masseuses were allegedly committing indecent acts with men."No I am not guilty. I did not offer him any money," argued 43-year-old W. Z. When he defended himself before the Dubai Court of First Instance. Presiding Judge Hamad Abdul Latif Abdul Jawad rejected the defendant's request for bail and adjourned the case until January 10.
Prosecutors alleged W. Z. Had leased an apartment which he ran as a bar and restaurant in an illegal manner.
The salon had been closed earlier when W. Z. Allegedly offered the money to the inspector to reopen the salon.
The trial continues.
Hilton Baynunah hotel GF?
I tried RTFF, but list of GF Hotels was dated in 2009.
Hilton running 50% any weekend off sale, so thought would make a trip to AUH for some play time in the near future.
Hilton Baynunah is AED278++
Hilton Corniche Apts is AED258++
Both Hiltons are on the 2009 list, but need to make sure since the bookings are non-refundable.
Appreciate your input.

Nights by the Jersky Shore (Part II)
SATURDAY – This time, I started a little earlier, about 11:30 pm, heading to 49ers. My previous time there was on a jammed Thursday night, too hot, sweaty, crowded and nasty to do much. This time, some Stani gals and a few Chinese, and an excellent Fili band, a smaller and tighter counterpart to the legendary Seaview Hotel band in Dubai but similar types of classic rock songs. Less crowded, a good selection though the quality was somewhat mediocre (7. 5 was as high as it got here) , and not a very good female-male ratio. But this time, an attractive, tall Chinese gal in a black dress, let's call her Eva (her name sounded like that but is the usual two syllables) , caught my eye. After our Kabuki-like movements around the place, toward and away from each other, we found each other near the dance floor while the band was starting its midnight set. Very nice gal drinking only water, she doesn't drink. She was shortly joined by another women in a black dress on my left side who could well have been her mother. They asked for a twosome, I wanted to stick with the attractive, tall and younger gal. After about 45 minutes we headed back to the LRM, where she gave me a choice of s-king or f-king. I told her I wanted both. She did a nice slow s-ck (no condom) and let me erupt after about 20 minutes, but no f-ck. It was before 2 am and despite my protests she bailed. 'You work next day, you need to sleep'. No tip for her, just the agreed-upon 500dh. That's why I prefer to pull my gal later in the evening.
MONDAY (week II). Back to Illusions for one final go before I left. Got there at 0030. This was a good night. It actually reminded me of the old Cyclone in Dubai. Several Cyclone A-list-equivalents and one 10 (reminding me of a cute beach-girl-like-blonde from 2002 in Dubai who I enjoyed for two straight nights. That might have even been her). Actually, there were several blondes there, mostly but not all very attractive, and a couple bow-wows dressed to the nines in miniskirts they probably shouldn't be wearing. A few of the Jersky Shore girls were there. Ratio was 70/30 women over men. Giggity giggity giggity. L from Eritrea was against the wall, looking good but I decided to stay away from her. The blonde from last week was not there, but a new long-haired, lanky blonde, L from Odessa, Ukraine was sitting at the bar with several other friends. Fantastic body, lean but a nice bubble butt and ample but not oversized chest, and 'overly friendly' to just the right amount. She was definitely pushing 30 or higher but she had a definite hotness about her. Invitingly she let me stand next to her. L spoke very good English, which allowed us to joke and make small talk, especially about my beer (she didn't drink, I told her one beer a night kept the heart attacks away). This was her first night back after two months away, she said this is another three month stint for her. She was a 1000 ST (about 75 min worth as it turned out) , seeing as I had to get up early I decided to go for it, and up the elevator we went. She pretty much did it all for me (riding me on top, BBBJ, and oil rub) , as well as apparently for herself. Overall, she satisfied Mr. Happy in a much more loving fashion than the other two gals. L from Ukraine with the long blonde hair and awesomely sexy body is my gal of the week.
SUMMARY. I'm not sure of any real lessons learned here, but this was my first stay here out of the three in the past 12 months in which mongering was done, where I had no all-night girls, all ST. In that regard, it felt more like my experiences of late in Dubai. The gals may be catching on. If nights are any measure, Monday seems to be the best night for selection and ratio.
I can also say Blitz is a dive, everyone looking destitute and drab, at least on Friday night. My previous two pulls from there must have been lucky. 49ers, when not overly crowded, has a fine band and nice atmosphere, if somewhat mediocre in girl-quality. Finally, Illusions can be either annoyingly loud, crowded, and nasty, or on the right night, a veritable hypermarket of the finest the former Soviet Union has to offer in Abu Dhabi, and like the old Cyclone in Dubai, not cheap. That it resides inside the hotel and offers a straight shot to the elevator is a major plus.
As I'll be back monthly from now on, I'm going to look for some cheaper but still comfortable digs than the Le Royal Meridien in which I can bonk and sleep. Has anyone tried the Arjaan by Rotana 'hotel apartments'? There are two of them in AD, and they seem to have good rates.
Happy camping, everyone.
Nights by the Jersky Shore (Part I)
This time it was a 10-day trip to the land of enchanted gazelles, My HQ for the stay was Le Royal Meridien. The first four days were intensive work days with early morning commitments. Cleverly, I ignored the opinions others had on Illusions, which I happened to share based on my limited experiences there. However, as I learned, you can always expect the unexpected.
MONDAY (week I). Being late at night with busy days coming up, I had no intention of mongering but wanted to pique my curiosity and observe the surroundings. I scoped out Illusions nightclub (4th floor of the hotel) for the first time in 4 years, arriving around 11 for a beer on Monday night with no intent to do a take-home (in this case, up the elevator, one of the nice things about the place). I was thinking to chat someone up and take some numbers but nothing else at least the next couple nights. There is no cover if you're staying at the hotel, just the sign-in sheet. There is a cover if you're not staying there but I don't know what it is. The customers were mainly western or Australian punters, a few Arab guys, and a lot of gals resembling an Eastern European casting call for MTV's 'Jersey Shore', all dark hair, lots of makeup and skintight dresses or jeans. A few gals were pleasingly stacked. Standing out among the J-Woww and Snooki look-alikes was one blonde Russian gal, fair-skinned, beautiful face, but a little too thin and unendowed for my taste, not really filling out what was clearly meant to be a tight-fitting dress. Nice legs though. She did try to hang close to her girlfriends and / or the Arab or CIS-looking guys, though. Between 11 and 12, the gals averaged about a 7, some good looking gals, a lot of older gals, and a few pigs with way too much make-up. I think it was about 50/50 women to men. No numbers taken. No illusions here, at least tonight.
TUESDAY. Again the next day was going to be early and brutal. I took a walk over to Ally Pally, my first time in that old pub. For 30 Dhs cover with no free drink included, I think it is of questionable value. No music (not always a bad thing) , too brightly lit for my taste, about 2/3 full, with a bunch of older punters, roaring drunk, on quiz night. The selection of Chinese gals was fair – I'the say they averaged 6. 5 in looks, a couple of them were their usual forward 'want a massagee' selves. Most looked 30-something or more. The best looking of the gals were the ones leaving with their dates around 10:30-10:45 as I was walking in. I suppose if I'm really desperate one night I'll go back. I think the ratio of women over men was less than 50/50.
After Ally Pally, I stopped back at Illusions. More of the same Jersky Girls, a couple 8's thrown in who smiled slight Mona Lisa smiles but otherwise were standing erect like statuettes, although the Russian blonde who was about 9-10 seats down from me gave me a little bit of eye contact, and also appeared to be the only one appearing to have body motion both above and below the waist. Pretty much the same cast. I was out by 11:30, as I needed to download a movie for my presentation the next day and it was off to bed.
WEDNESDAY. Presentation went well, coworkers left town and I was ready to monger. Originally I thought I'the do my usual 49ers / G-Club / Blitz circuit, but Illusions and G-Club seem to be somewhat comparable places, and Illusions had no cover charge for me as an Le Royal detainee. I decided to nap first, then made my way there around 1230 am. Very different vibe at 1230, dancing has broken out, lots of Arabic guys, and lots of the J-wowws and Snookis dancing, talking to Arabic-looking or dark-skinned dates. The Russian gal brushed by and gave me a squeeze, unusual as most of the women seemed to avoid touching the guys as much as possible. Unfortunately she had her date with her and out she went. Seemed to be more guys than gals, and the gals there were definitely in the 7 to 7. 5 range average (a couple of them were pushing 8-8. 5). Although there is some electronica, most of the music seems to be Arabic dance music.
A couple beers later, and I was sidling up to L, a lovely straight-haired gal from Eritrea (one of a couple Africans who worked their way into the place) , beautiful, doe-eyed face and perfect smile, not standing erect like many of the CIS gals, asked me where I was from, and told me 'you live somewhere where I can't get a visit visa'. We disappeared off to a table and did our own dancing, before we decided to head out around 230 am. L asked for 1200, I countered with 800, and we settled on 1000, knowing the going rate for her CIS competitors in Illusions is up to Dubai levels if not higher. Not pleased with that amount, but she was nice enough to make the point to not ask me for money until afterward. 'I trust you' was a highly unusual (and nice) thing to hear. No DFK or DATY though. She had a nice rack and cute bubble-butt, a little oversized in the middle. Couldn't stand her spitting on the condom though, especially since I had cream in the room. About 60-90 minutes of session, with her finishing me off on top, and L said she had to get ready for her day job down the street as a hairdresser. We exchanged numbers. She seemed like a nice enough person, but it wasn't quite the best ever, either in AD or Dubai. I've been attracted to the occasional African (one last year at G-Club was incredible) , but they as a rule don't do DFK, and leave me and Mr Happy just a little cold.
THURSDAY. Reunion with former co-worker friends, hanging out with the other thousands of expats at the Meridien Village in the 'other' Meridien hotel (the one that is not GF). No mongering.
FRIDAY. I had a pretty active day sampling Ferrari World (the world's most expensive amusement park, with the possible exception of the late-great Cyclone in Dubai, which was not quite as family-friendly) and then doing some shopping at the mall. I napped until about 1230 am, and then decided to make my way to Blitz, which has the band with the cute Fili girls, and at least the last couple times, the ability for me to nab the occasional stand-out PRC gal amidst the dregs.
Well, tonight was just the dregs, the women consisted of clapped-out CIS gals, beyond-their-sell-by-date PRC's, and some frizzed-out African chicks. I'd have to call the average 5. 5. The guys looked definitely destitute, the security guy upfront on the sidewalk demanded a shakedown (10 dhs) , and the Fili band was only fair although the girls are pretty nice looking (and one does a nice Shakira song and dance). I was outathere by 2:30 am, with no PRC angel coming to carry me off on her wings and nothing but hard-up looking guys pouring into the place. It was crowded and more guys were fondling me than gals. I had a couple stares but no one was grabbing or acting in an overly friendly manner. It looked like about 40/60 women / men. And if you're counting attractive women, it was dire.
I decided to finish the night at Illusions to see what I could get for the elevator ride back to my room. The answer was, if I had taken the bait to talk to the way-over-the-hill gals sitting by themselves in the room, I might have gotten something. But it seemed to be about 70% guys, all clutching and grabbing as they were walking by or around me. At one point I was standing at the bar with my Red Bull (to get me sharp) , beaming at the reasonably attractive gal next to me whose guy she was talking to had left. She asked me 'why you look at me that way? I have man standing here. ' OK, sorry for looking at you. Didn't realize you gals choose your customers. The Russian blonde was not there, though there was another one dancing up a storm, with kind of a gawky face but cute little body. She was hanging close with her male friend. Interestingly, the bar keeps going after 3 am, although they clear everybody out at 3:30 am after 15 minutes of the dreaded light / no music period where reality sets in on many of the girls, particularly the 'Jersky Shore' girls. What I noticed was only the Arabs had 'dates', the few westerners that were there got nothing. Nada. Zippo. I also noticed everyone was going down the elevator into the lobby, and not up. This is definitely a locals hangout on weekends, I thought. Deciding to see if any gals were hanging in the lobby or elsewhere, I noted that they were but they were all on the phone or sitting with Arab guys (including a few in dishdashes). The big groups were waiting up front for the valets to come up with their boytoy's cars. Lots of Mercs, Porsches, Corvettes and other upscale iron, no taxis. Some (not all) of the girls were now wearing abayas and headscarves.
In general, my first Friday mongering event ever in Abu Dhabi was an abject failure (or maybe not) – the first time in years I totally came up empty. Perhaps it was the lack of talent available, or a lack of glibness on my part. Maybe I should go earlier to get the more desirable companions, even at risk of doing ST instead of LT. More likely Friday in AD is a night to avoid. So, I pocketed my money for Saturday.
