[QUOTE=GroinStrain]2 free pints for the name of the basket case singer and a bottle of scotch for her phone number.[/QUOTE][b]Seaview band:[/b] Cherie Garcia is the bass player, the three original singers are Donna, Dyna (IMHO the best looking) and Michelle. Don't know the name of the one who replaced Joanne, yet. The guitarist is Martin and I don't know the keyboard player or drummer.

And there's hope for you yet GS, I know a Filipina who is good friends with the band and told me last night that all the girls are single at the moment!
Where can I collect my pints?

btw: Search YouTube for Cherie Garcia and see Cherie's promo solo video of Hot Stuff. There are also some videos of the band taken inside Seaview on YouTube too. Enjoy.

Finally got my visit to Seaview earlier this week, first time in ages. Did some recon and picked up some numbers from the cutest members of the Filipina herd.

My GF's been back home for nearly two months now and my resolve to be a good boy finally broke. Couldn't resist a real tiny cute Filipina who seemed a lot of fun so arranged to pick her up early last night. Back to mine for drinks and first round. Professed to be shy, but it didn't last long. Everything was available and most was availed of, and by everything I mean everything. Finished with a great CIM.

Couple more drinks a shower and a taxi off to the Majestic with said Filipina on my arm. She was in the mood for music and drinking, and giving me a GFE, so why not?

Music Room 11pm was busy but still found a table, my girl knew a few other Filipinas in there and was introduced to some. Plenty of PRC WGs about, no A-listers and luckily none who know my GF! Some Stanis and CIS, but not attractive, to me anyway. Most of the crowd civilians. Never got to assess the pool table area. Band are OK, guitarist's good but the girls are not a patch on Seaview band or Marbles band at Radisson, looks wise.

Couple of drinks and off to Seaview around midnight. From reading the earlier reports it must have been like an ISG boys night out, plenty of fellow forum mongers were there, apparently, as I don't know any personally.

Like all previous visits, no entry fee charged. (You must have been unlucky Zing, normally there I have only ever seen Indian/Subcontinentals getting charged. Theory: white guys drink plenty, Indians don't).

Pretty busy inside, talk to her mates. Plenty to drink. Band as good as always.

Dance with my companion between band sets, when suddenly I feel something hit my chest and head. One of the more sultry sexy, but now jealous, CIS chicks who I talked on previous visit to Seaview is throwing peanuts at me to grab my attention! When my girl went to bathroom the CIS was over like a shot: "Why you with her not me. Don't go with her. Buy me drink. I give you good time. " etc etc. Shook her off with some well placed words (I'm BUSY tonight. I don't disturb you when YOU'RE busy. Understand? ) and scanned the room.

Plenty of WGs and unusually for Seaview in my recollection a few Africans. Some hideous T42s and the occasional PRC cutie, nothing outstanding though.

Left after a couple of hours and back home for round two. One problem, Filipina is now steaming drunk. Carry her from cab, put her in bed and make sure she's all right. She's out like a light. No problem, I needed an early night.

Cuddled all night, which I like and despite her hangover she was very much up for round two in the morning, so like the gentleman I am I obliged, finishing on her ample (for a tiny girl) breasts and cute face which had her in fits of giggles for some reason!

She was great fun, good company, slightly crazy but gave a great GFE all night and stayed till 1pm today. She never mentioned price or money at all

I took her home to her front door and she went to get out of the car. I pulled her back and popped a 500 in her hand. She seemed very pleased.

So was I. Bargain.

Be careful out there,

My sources say that the bond requirement for PRC nationals has always been there, but like many UAE laws it may be selectively applied. There are also financial penalties for tour operators if the visitors under their sponsorship overstay or are arrested.

I am speculating but another issue could be some of the operators have been fined following the recent purge and are being more cautious?

At the same time the PRC tourist sector is becoming a money spinner for Dubai. It is not unknown for individuals to spend tens of thousands of dollars here on a short visit.

[QUOTE=Steamer33]Like all previous visits, no entry fee charged. (You must have been unlucky Zing[/QUOTE]I have never been charged, but me and my associates are probably know to spend a bit when we are in there.

I assume the “basket case” girl who also plays Bass on “Cocaine” is Dyna and the heavier one is Michelle (but she seems to have lost a bit of weight recently)? Donna remains my firm favorite, but the new girl is a looker too.

[QUOTE=Diego3]As a search within this forum nor with google helped:

Is it all the same bar or is Rattle not identical to Rattle Snake?[/QUOTE]Same place, also refered to as "the snake pit" or just the "snake" and occasionaly the "Metro". PRCs often refer to it as "the Snake Bar".

Offically the Rattlesnake (one word) at the Metropolatain Hotel on Sheik Zyed Road, (not to be confused with the Metropolatan, Deria)

I actually stopped and offered to pay, being my first visit I was sure what the form was but thanks for letting me knoe. I'll put it down to experience and swan right on in next time.

[QUOTE=11Bravo][i]Venue - 6\10 (carpet on the way in has to be seen to be believed)[/i]
But certainly beats the steel stairs of old...

[i]M\F ratio - 4\10[/i]
As mentioned, this can be misleading.

[i]Quality of girls - 6\10[/i]
To each his own, but the Seaview has never been known for "top end" girls. It's the combination of band, small bar, wg's that provides the winning combination.

[i]Annoy factor of being asked if I want a drink every 17 seconds even although my glass was still full - 10\10[/i]
That's a NEW one for me. I've never been bothered; I find the staff attentive, but not overly so (York it's NOT).

My biggest complaint about the Seaview is their restrictive entrance policy on "new" PRC's. Certainly enough from the resident selection that I never have a problem, but there is the risk of it getting stale (and why the York and 'Snake still have my business on occasion).

MY view: if you're looking for a wg venue - there are better. Seaview is small. But the combination of music (rock my style), friendly atmosphere, enough wg's, and even a good food menu, makes it my first choice when I want to have a nice evening out, knowing I'll have company back home.

Also a nice place to take a "date" from another bar - mixed company not a problem, and there is dancing to a dj between the band's sets.[/QUOTE]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Seaview, I actually had a very pleasant night. I agree that its not top mongering venue but IMHO it certainly has a place in the weekly calendar as you suggest maybe for a more relaxed night. The biggest plus point for me was having Philipina's, not a group I'm used to so some new areas to explore.

The bar staff I actually found worse than York but I'm sure quick word with them can sort that out easily enough. It won't become my number one venue for a variety or reasons but, as the big man said, "I'll be back".

Keep it Cocked,
Zing

[QUOTE=11Bravo] Maybe I've just been lucky over the years, but I've found the majority NOT to be predatory. [/QUOTE]

Couldn't agree more, I've found good to excellent experiences almost every time. I think the main difference here is that you get a chance to speak to the girls up front and make a judgement call based on a bit of chemistry in the bar, certainly worth spending half an hour or so with them and buying them the odd drink. My less than excellent experiences tend to have more to do with them being a bit crap in bed rather than poor attitude, they still make the bed and do the dishes in the morning :-)

I've only ever been out and out preyed on once that I can think of.

Have fun out there,
Zing

[QUOTE=Zing Uk]Couldn't agree more, I've found good to excellent experiences almost every time. I think the main difference here is that you get a chance to speak to the girls up front and make a judgement call based on a bit of chemistry in the bar[/QUOTE]Absolutely! The interviews and selection process are great fun too. The few times it has not worked out have been when I have abandoned the field craft, and either drunk too much, or focused on a girls looks and ignored warning signs in the negotiation.

I think a lot of guys monger here who would probably not do so back in their home countries. For one thing it [i]feels[/i] no where near as seedy as going to MP, brothel, RLD window girl, sex club etc.

Very true, it is actually quite civilized in DXB monger-wise, perhaps shared fear has its place.

One caveat though, don´t dig too deep into the ladies situation, you can see a sordid underbelly you might prefer not to know about.

[QUOTE=Funfor Females]Jann,

Welcome to Dubai, I am sure you will have a great time, but if you ask for guidance and advice without having your PM turned on you will not have as good a time as you might otherwise.

Turn it on. In the present cirumstances you are likely to get a lot more good information than by simply scanning the boards. (Although the boards are indeed well written and informative.)

Just a word of friendly advice. Or, do an RTFF search on 'Crown Plaza' and see what happens.

Cheers[/QUOTE]My friend you were right, last week I was in town and saw that Cylone and Amnesia are both closed. An expat friend of mine helped me and I went to KUBU at Radisson.

Mine was from Tanzania and I don't really care for Black Women. Asian make my temperture rise but in City Center Mall in Carre Four there she was. About as perfect as a female could be. I chatted her a bit found she was a studying in London and comes to Dubai regularly as a tourist.

Ok guys....

She says it happens all the time, girls being held in airport in RAK for days. Seemed totally unfazed by the news, like it was a normal occurrence. Maybe it is and we just have happened to hear about it at the moment.

Or it could be some unscrupulous agents at work. One prominent Chinese travel agent which was operating as an illegal foreign exchange house in Nassau Square did a runner four months ago with Dh10 million of money earned here which was supposed to be sent to China. It was in Gulf News at the time. [url]http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/07/10/22/10161973.html[/url]

She is sorting out her own visa at the moment to return next month. I'll post as to whether she has any problems or not. She doesn't think she will. China is a growing and vital trade market for the UAE and they do not want to discourage visitors from there, many who spend plenty in the malls and souks while they are here.

Be careful out there.
