A couple of reconnaissance trips plus.
For those who are interested in checking out Mairi it looks like it could be an interesting place and it seems a bit different from the other RLD's though I'm a newbie in ROK to say the least. It seems like the most interesting environment in Seoul so far – mysterious alleyways filled with mamasans who open up the sliding doors to show you neon lit women in traditional looking clothing. Some pretty girls and some who aren't pretty but who are in pretty clothes. One issue I think I'd have in Mairi is that you can't really see what the girls bodies are like – everyone's wearing the puffy skirts and are sitting down. I expected the cold shoulder routine there but it was a lot friendlier than other places. I was there about 9pm on a Saturday which is obviously early. It looked like I was the only guy down there and the going rate seemed to be 70W. I assuming this is the usual BJ-nibbling-lite followed by FS. I can't vouch for the service you get in that zone but it certainly looks different than the glass houses setup to say the least. I'm open to any recommendations.
If you leave the zone and go to the main street and then cross, you'll see about half a dozen other establishments I'm guessing drinking establishments or tea rooms? I saw a couple of nice looking girls obviously going into one to start working at 9 or so. I'm not sure what they are but it looks interesting for those who have the language abilities.
Today I went to Yeongdeungpo area. If you go to the station and exit the main exit – take a left out and go up the main street. You'll see a series of metal fabricating type places – light industrial zones on your left side of the street. In the neighborhood behind these shops and bordering the Lotte department store/station is a bowery like neighborhood with half a dozen tired out mamasans running around. Who they're pimping is the question. Most seemed to be pimping themselves. I followed one into her "house"and she opened a door to show me a barely awake middle aged woman – nice tits and a decent face. Quoted 40W with the thumb between the fingers. Almost tempting but it was early in the trip still so I passed. This neighborhood is a bit rough – I"d recommend going for the first time during the day to see if it's in your comfort zone. It's a weird little jigsaw of alleyways and residential buildings (tin shacks really), part living zone part ho-zone from what I can tell. I'd be tempted to check it out w/o bringing the ipod, ID etc. For safety's sake. Maybe a great deal can be had back there. Maybe you'll get a bottle across the back of your head. Both seem possible.
If you go back out to the main street and cross over you'll run into a decent size rld zone with the usual set of glass rooms. It was early but these girls were pretty unfriendly. As I recall, a couple of blocks wide and about 4 blocks long.
I shot back toward Seoul Station with a stop at Yongsan station and got out and headed straight across the main street. A couple of blocks further on the other side of the street is a two street five block or so long stretch of glass houses. Still early but the windows were filling up. Not a lot of stunners but the girls were pretty friendly here and one caught my eye in a little alleyway near the far side of the zone. "Lisa Pak" was probably about 30 with some very natural bouncy C's (?), super nice skin and short hair. Firm body and reasonably friendly. I wasn't even looking that seriously but the big boobs with the 5 fingers up in the air got me in the door. Light BJ and kissing with FS. Looks 7 Attifude 7-8 Service 6. Unfortunately a bit mechanical. Probably wouldn't repeat with her but there were some friendly girls there and I'm guessing the more frequently quoted 70W could be knocked down to 60W if you want.
