besides that point, at those rates, i skipped taking a gal along with me and treated myself to a nice week of work in the countryside with few distractions, but good food, ktv, and plenty of beer and local wine.
anyways, when coming back to phnom penh, i had originally thought to do a night on the ritz, raffles style. however, during my taxi ride back to town, i really didn't feel like pushing myself out there so much when all i wanted was a generally relaxed evening, good food, and easy going companionship. further, since i was tired of tourists, i went more local. ktv hotel kind of local, $ 17 / night plus fees if any, includes ac and fast internet, but no breakfast.
i guess, i hadn't really tried this out before because i know in taiwan, top 8-10/10 ktv is a $ 300 to $ 500 / night wantan ordeal. sliding back the looks really drops the price though. therefore, i'd been prejudiced about spending stupid money and further knowing when going local you need language skills. in taiwan, not much of a problem, but i figured if i tried a chinese ktv hotel in phnom penh, the costs would be more reasonable and despite little to no english skills, my chinese could overcome the issues.
it turns out, what i thought was a chinese ktv hotel, was a khmai place. at first, i was daunted to learn this during my 1 pm check-in. however, i'd already paid online for the hotel and figured i could always walk the 8 minutes to martini pub as a backup.
after visiting the russian market and resting in the room, i got cleaned up and ate at a nice khmai / thai place nearby. a few things about going local, the food quality drastically improves, the smiles are friendlier, and the costs are lower. in general, you'll only catch me once a trip at the western places unless i'm with local friends and going in a group.
after building up my personal courage, i got off at the 2nd floor thinking it was the ktv entrance. nope, it was more like a holding pen for some of the best looking ladies i've seen in all of cambodia. talk about daunting. my normally confident self mumbled out a hello and got a few titters back. i figured on seeing maybe a dozen gals overall. nope, there many groupings of 3-6 gals all throughout the area. realizing i was being stupid, i went back to the ground floor and talked to one of the guys there who said no chinese speakers and tiny, tiny english speakers. however he and i chatted further to build a rapport and then he escorted me to room on the 7th floor. room 701 with room attendant leap, nice gal. wouldn't mind dating her outside of the ktv.
so, i sit down in the ktv room. through bad translations, it's asked if i just want to sing or have girls. i request 2. while waiting, i select my songs and get singing. further, my case of abc beer for $ 25 and a couple of $ 5 snacks show up. about 10 minutes later, after i figure the 3 gals willing to sit with a foreigner we're pulled into my room.
two of the three gals were darker skinned, and 6-7/10. the last, fairer skin, was 8/10, but kept herself pushed into the corner and didn't feel right to me. though i knew i could've asked for another selection, i really didn't care, i just wanted to sing, drink, and have a 2 ladies attend me. so i took the outriggers. 7/10 spoke some english and might have survival level with a little more effort. the 6/10 gal, was minimal, but smiling for real.
anyways, speeding up, leap gets our song orders, keeps our beer initially topped up, and then my pretties and i sing. soon, i realize, these gals can drink and are probably pros. i just to keep to a comfortable pace and enjoy the gals each slowly getting closer to me and roaming hands. nothing overtly sexual at all. after an hour, i could care less if i got laid, i was having fun and doing something different.
going into the second hour, the gals were feeding me, wrapping my arms around them, kissing my cheek, sometimes kissing me on the lips, pulling / poking / massaging my nose, hair, chest, various body parts.
i did no groping. just sang, drank, and hugged these pretty ladies to my sides when possible. sometimes getting the 2 wrapped with me during love songs. fun, but requires body coordination. blah, blah, blah, nearing hour 3, we've gotten up and danced and then then started slowing down.
seems that leap felt things were just past the peak and started wrapping things up. the ktv bills was $ 35; $ 3 / hour room, $ 3 / abc beer since less than case, $ 5 / snack. 10, 000 riel tip to each gal and leap. no mention of anything further was mentioned other than come and see us again soon. so $ 42. 50 damage for nearly 3 hours of good fun.
i had hoped 7/10 would ask to come with me, but nothing came of it. in reflection. 7/10 was playing her role, but nothing real behind it. it probably would've been only slightly better than a starfish.
while waiting for the elevator to come. 6/10 also came to go go downstairs, despite the language barrier, i asked about going upstairs. she mentioned a few things, but i didn't pressure or anything, just lead the way and figured she'd follow or not. we got to my room, sat on the bed, chatted, kissed full on a little, but she discussed going home to sleep and i requested she stay. she wasn't keen on it, but no pressure.
after i went to use the restroom and came back, she was passed out on my bed. guess she wasn't as much of heavyweight as i thought. anyways, not wanting to disturb her, i worked for a bit and then since we was on top of the covers and i finally wanted sleep, i rolled her around a tad so i could get her under the covers and then myself.
weirdly, she woke up for a moment, kissed me full on, pulled up the covers and went back to sleep. well, if nothing else, she was cute and it's pleasure to have a young thing in my bed even if nothing came of it.
a few hours later, she woke to use the restroom for the beer train. on her return she kissed me full on again, cuddled right up to me, and then feel promptly asleep.
eventually 6 am rolls around and i caress her a tad since i'm awake and don't feel like working. she curls up more next to me and i close my eyes. soon, i feeling frisky so i caress again and this slowly leads to one of the most enjoyable gfe i've ever had. too bad, right at 7 am her roomie calls.
after her call, we joked a bit, then got cleaned up. i ate breakfast, she declined and slept on. i'd join her in bed off and on till 10 am, when i finally had to close off our time and head to the airport via a $ 7 tuktuk.
she gave no mention of money other than concern that the 10, 000 riel tips had been given to her friends since it took a while to get the money boy to return the night before. because of the past nights' experience, i sensed that this was more of gal actually liking me and us having chemistry than a bought time deal. therefore, i didn't ask her how much and just gave her a variety of change that added up to $ 10. she looked at me funny when i gave her the money and set it aside. i then used google to translate my appreciation for such a wonderful time. she then smiled more cheerfully before kissing me further.
in the end, we walked out comfortably together and i've left cambodia a sadder knowing there's some real good people doing a thankless job because a lack of means, means lack of opportunities. she's something special to me.
also. 7/10 was a good singer, but fmomg. 6/10 had singing passion that made me sad the ktv time ended at 3 hours. i could've listened to her for the night.
most importantly, this adventure reminded me about forgetting the destination and getting more into the journey. there's a real difference between buying a woman's time and her giving it willing.[/quote]lovely report. i always smile when i read of those unexpected moments, that make you realise theres much more than just the same old. we just need to be reminded of it sometimes.
