[QUOTE=HorseTrader;1573028]About a year ago I had a business trip to Bangkok and I expected that to be the best trip of my life. But, my Thai host company always had a representative with me and I never got any freedom (pick me up at airport, take me to hotel, representative staying in the next room in case I needed help, every meal with the host company, take me to the airport). Sometimes I could look out my hotel window and see girls wandering the streets looking for dates. I wonder what would have happened if I asked the host company to take me to Nana Plaza and leave me alone.[/QUOTE]They most likely would have been very upset, although they may not have shown it outwardly. Whatever esteem you had with the host company would have become somewhere on the level of whale shit. Any business dealings you may have had / continue to have would have been seriously jeopardized.
Had they taken you under their wing, so to speak, they would have taken you to higher-end massage places, maybe karaoke establishments, etc.

You are on a business trip. Keep it all about business... Unless they suggest something first
[QUOTE=HorseTrader;1573028]Without a doubt, it was the best business trip of my life. I'm still recovering.

[QUOTE=ItsMeBeyatch;1573105]You are on a business trip. Keep it all about business... Unless they suggest something first.[/QUOTE]That's what I figured, so I flew home for 20 hours with blue balls. Since then I have spent a great deal of time with three Thai ladies and have learned that much of the female Thai population is embarrassed that their country has such a huge sex trade. I suspect that most Mexican women feel the same.

.[/QUOTE]Excuse me Beyatch but bull shit! Hobby your ass off. The trick is ditch the civilians so you can get to the the hobby sites. If a co-worker checks in across the hall from me or an adjoining room I just wait 10 minutes and go downstairs and change my room to another floor. There are a myriad of reasons you can use. Tell the front desk you smoke (or don't smoke), the elevator is noisy, you wanted a view, king bed (or two doubles) etc. Change hotels because you collect Hilton points and not Marriott or vise versa. Bow out of dinners by feigning that you are too tired or that the Asian diet doesn't agree with you and something made you ill. Turn in early because you are jet lagged or you have to dial into an international conference call. Do not share your latest Itinerary and arrive early or stay late. And my favorite is I went to visit Tijuana to practice my Spanish.
Almost all my international hobbying trips started with a business trip.

Huge mistake
seems to me. certainly part of the appeal of traveling is to sample the local girls. tijuana is a most amazing and accommodating place. i recently was on a business trip to china. i was working with my distributor over there and in the course of a few days made a nice friendship with them. saturday had an all day workshop, worked very hard. it was all done around 4:00 pm and i was sitting in the office of the owner. we were chatting and i just sort of mentioned that i had heard of this place called the bodi spa in shanghai. he laughed and asked how i knew of this place. i showed him isg. he called in his partner "i think sam has this place on his speed dial" and indeed he did. since it was all chinese he made a call over to confirm a booking and took me there. they had a good laugh and i had one of the more amazing experiences of my life.

[QUOTE=HungryStud101;1573565] Almost all my international hobbying trips started with a business trip.[/QUOTE]I took up a sales job to monger internationally!! Most of the time the local guy is the best resource / wingman. Remember a normal guy can never have enough of pussy, there is always room for more. So just break the ice and get the conversation going.

If you can get away from your host them by all means monger your ass off ... But to suggest to be taken or dropped off at a know monger place then you take a chance at losing business relationships that can affect you making future business with these people then I wouldn't chance it.

Smile, you're on....
I was at HK Wednesday afternoon and was having a drink by myself and probably about to leave when a girl came up to me. On a whim, I said, sure, why not, and bought her a drink. Now, there was a bit of a language barrier, but the girl was letting her hands roam but wasn't exactly smiling. In a bit, a manager stopped by (I think it was a manager. It was not one of the waiters). He took his index finger and thumb to his mouth, and gestured to the girl, to turn the frown into a smile. The girl immediately started smiling (and frankly, turned a whole lot cuter). In a minute or two, however, she returned to her non-smiling, frowning self (her hands never stopped wandering).
I thought this was fairly interesting. I didn't know the management cared enough to monitor and come up to ask the girl to fix her attitude without being asked.

Well, that may be.

I got a feel for which way the wind blew, and in this case it worked out very well.

Hong Kong apology
I stayed in hotel cascades for a week and took 2 different chicas for private dances. The first took care of me well and after we left the room I go downstairs to watch the whipped cream show and guess who gets on stage? I just watched the show on rubbery legs, but my buddy jumped right in with both girls and ended with cream all over his face. Excellent. She had such a devilish smiole while she rubbed whipped cream on her body I almost took her after for a trip arriba.
The second girl from HK, was a nooner, and afterwards, she tried to demand an extra 30 bucks, when I refused, she took a bottle of vitamins. She left in a huff and said there would be trouble. I guess there was, because the manager and waiter came to my room shortly afterwards and apologize and returned the bottle of vitamins and hoped I was not upset with HK. They said that if I didn't have the money to pay a girl, don't give them pills. I laughed and explained, she demanded more money, she took the vitamins, I did not give them to her. And she threatened me with trouble. They apologized again and left. I guess there was trouble, I never saw her in HK again.
Enjoy.
