Anma Association Decides to Ban Foreigners
In one of Korea's periodic fits of anti-foreignerism, the "anma" massage parlors (Korea's version of the soapland) seem to have gotten together and decided to bar entry to foreigners. The W Anma next to the Intercontinental, the Lexy Anma next to the Renaissance, and the no-name place behind my office have all in the last week (it's been a couple months since I visited an anma) turned me away at the door -- with the "gaijin dame!" bane-of-Dracula X-across-the-face gesture -- citing some new "no foreigners policy". When I noted the presence of katakana (Japanese) script on the sign outside the W Anma, the staff amended the story to a "no non-Asian foreigners policy", and explained that all the anmas had made this decision collectively.
I wasn't drunk or belligerent (until they told me that), and entered wearing a business suit and platinum card. And I speak Korean well enough to argue about what a stupid policy that is. So it wasn't because of "communication difficulties" which is the usual nonsense cited for why foreigners should be discriminated against. They just don't want us or our money. These were places at which I had previously been a regular customer.
This country really sucks. If anyone reading this makes decisions about buying things from Korea other than pussy (the pussy is first-rate, I concede), or investing here, might I suggest you think again.
At least the room salons are still fun and open to foreigners. For now, I guess...
Korea's periodic fits of anti-foreignerism
It might just be a seasonal thing, it could just be another tendency to overreact due to something that might have happened with the govt?
I do not think the whole country is anti foreign, but the sex business definitely seems to be from time to time.
It could be that with the latest crackdown on the Ahnmas, the govt just doesn't want the foreigners to think that they are not doing their job properly and making them look like a hypocrite and in term blaming the ahnmas for accepting foreigners?
Whatever it is, it's another dumb move, whom or whatever the origin might be.
Anma in Uryodong Station/Guro-gu, Gaebong-dong
To Seeko;
{Yes, You are right. The nite club scene is different. And yes, they have wider hips and strange legs as well. }
To all mongers:
Maybe all the Anma owners in Gangnam are getting on the bandwagon and doing this "banning the foreigners" shit. However, I went to the CITY ANMA in Uryodong this past Sunday and they accepted me. However, I must add that I went with my Korean friend who knows the area well. Don't ask me for directions; too difficult to explain. Get out of Uryodong Station Blue line right after Gaebong station. Get in a taxi, and ask for "See Tee" Anma. If driver knows, then just go to the building and take the elevator to 3rd floor. Right there.
Young staff was there to greet us; a guy in his 30's, and to my surprise, a girl in her early 30's running the show. She had a t-shirt saying "Ditch Him. ". Standard experience; take a shower, in to the sauna if you'd like, towels and robes available, go to another room, blind man massage, then the fun room where your **** awaits you.
She was 28 years old: Minimal English skills, Long silky black hair; Looks=7. But nice pouty BJ lips. Ass=7, legs=6 (short girl, and again, sort of crooked legs), Tits=9. Really nice and firm see cups, Attitude=6, Full Service=7. Jacuzzi was there, but she didn't even bother. Face massage, oil body rub front and back, tossing the salad, a little play time with the purple soldier, then sex. I was horny this night, so I didn't give a fuck about GF time.
Yes, the experience was sort of mechanical, no kissing, at one time she covered her tits with her palms so that I wouldn't feel them or kiss them, however, all positions available. No anal, BBBJ short time, then the condom and FS. I asked if I could finish on her chest, she said "No". So, I flipped her over, doggy style, and since she was looking forward, I took off the condom and then came on her back when I was good and god damn ready. She didn't like it, but I didn't give a shit. If a girl is nice to me, I'll be nice to her. Total damage=170, 000 for a foreigner.
Man, I just didn't like her attitude in the end. So, I don't know if I'll be going back there. Anyway, here's just to prove that foreigners are still acceptable at some Anmas.
Cheers boys,
