Many overseas cards charge surcharges for foreign access. If he gets cheques for free then it can save an extra $30-$40 per $1000.

That really dates you.

(In Japan, you can draw from an overseas bank an any 7-11 or Daily Yamazaki. In nearly every other country you can draw from any bank from just about any machine. Good exchange rates too.) [/QUOTE]

[/QUOTE]Well, using credit card to draw cash can cost you up to 5% more than using TCs. So maybe the one which "is dated" is not the one that you think.

Not just credit cards. Debit cards can have huge hidden charges attached to them, especially at the major banks in the US. TC are pretty reliable and you can get them replaced if you lose them or they get stolen.

Hello, Today I tried the well advertised DH s-hana from Gotanda.Order placed in nihongo, I insisted for meeting the girl outside and not inside a LH.Called hina, hardly looked like the girl on the website. (didn't check again) I should have taken advantage of that and cancel, because the delivered girl was really a busu.Slim, bad teeth, badly dressed (like a schoolgirl despite she was 30+ as far as I can guess) , very average face, no tits, I would rate her looks as 2 or 3/10 max.Then I thought I didn't want any trouble with this shop, so I headed for the LH.Shower, then starting to play. She made me understand no H (honban) rather quickly. That turned me down quite a bit, but hey, I tried to enjoy the CIM thing, as much as I could given the circumstances.Her attitude wasnt that bad, I'm sure if she's with a guy she really likes, or who tries to arouse her more than I did, she may want the H thing, but not sure of that, she seems scared of non-J guntoys.Hed BJ technique was bad and given her teeth, that might have been a good thing actually.Well. 20K for the girl (90mns) + 4k for the hotel + 2K for taxis. Thats a hardl and expensive learned lesson (again).Next time, ill stick for the pinsaro, for a kdh, the Chinese or korean este in otsuka / nippori if theyre still there.Or try kings house in yoshiwara.

[QUOTE=Paul Hill;1126359]Do you need to speak Japanese?[/QUOTE]When I was chatting with the manager, I asked if he's ever had foreign customers that can't speak Japanese and he just said "Usually the foreigners that come in can speak at least a little Japanese." He mentioned that he can't speak English at all and was glad no English only customers had come in yet. So from that chat I think you probably can get away with incredibly minimal Japanese, but I'm not so sure about no Japanese at all.

Thanks for posting. Bad experiences are as useful, if not even more, to hear about!

Just tonight I had a very enjoyable session with "Ai". She fully resembled the posted pictures and the data on the web managed my expectations in terms of boobs size. Her Ass was great, she has a cute face and a good attitude. In terms of the level of service, there are obvious legal limitations as to what is allowed and what not, but as Bro Herpes pointed out, a little effort can go a long way in terms of what two adults might eventually consentually decide to do.

My advice when using this provider is to thoroughly research the web pictures (after all you might agree that even in terms of the web pictures "hina" would not qualify for the stunner category) , the web data (and run a google translate on the respective page if you cannot guess the Japanese) to ensure you get the attributes (e. G. Boob size, ass etc) you are looking for and last but certainly not least treat the girls well (offer them a drink, be gentle). This will make the session all the much better. Also don't ask for Honban, this should far more be something natural in the course of action if you are lucky with your choice.

BTW Japanese is not a requirement with S-Hana, but in order to achieve a GFE like athmospere with a Girl Engios===p

[quote=sake joe; 1123100]day 2.

today i made the trip to tokyo shinjuku. started off at new hotpoint. after undergoing a q&a that pushed my limited nihango to its limit, the guy asked me to leave my bag out in the open shelf (with $1000 in am. ex. cheques) so i walked. that's life. i wondered over to chris usa and watched the show there. but no extras available at the adjacent pink salon so i headed two doors down.

asian feeling soon put a smile on my face. opted for the 10k oil course with aya. she washed me down nicely then gave me a decent enough massage with a happy ending which made me forget the bs from two peepshows. i tipped her 1000yen (i know i have a soft spot and she did slide her thumb past its second knuckle in my ass) then headed to koreatown to refuel with a bowl of noodles.

i went to jan jan. (the construction work around the station threw my bearings but just follow your nose and you'll smell the spunk). i paid the starter-coat dude and got seated. soon kana came over. plain face but she knew her stuff and within five minutes, i'd shot a load in her mouth. i tried to explain the concept of a snowball but before i could pull a ballpen to draw it on a napkin, she was gone. and so was i. 2 minutes later i was back in the street.

can anyone help out with directions for both

"jan jan"

and

"asian feeling"

in shinjuku.

also for us newbies, how are we going to be able to tell them from the front.

thanks

I have been in Tokyo for the past few days with a friend of mine and simply loving Tokyo and being blown away by the J girls I see everyday every were. First time in Japan, so no J lingo skills yet however I am trying to learn and will definitely invest the time to learn for the next time I am in town. I will be here for another few days. Would love to meet with fellow mongers who are familiar with the scene to help a Tokyo newbie. So anyone in town now and would like to hang around, go hunting together, pm me or post here please. Couple of first drinks on me.Arigato gosaimas!

Tried to find this place but no luck. Web site is still up but has changed to a place called Oasis, map is in the same location but I walked around the block about 10 times and asked several people for help (store owners or younger men that I guessed might speak English. Everyone was polite and helpful but no joy. I don't have enough Japanese to try calling the number (plus no cell phone) and I was too chicken to ask the 7-11 attendant to call for me. I found the exact spot on the google streetview easily enough but could not find anything resembling the entrance. Running out of time I ended up going to another part of Ueno and got completely ripped off but that's another post. Anyone know if this establishment is still in business?

[QUOTE=Lost For Words; 1014184]Went to Korean massage place called Himawari (

[url]http://www.bihaku-dh.com/[/url]

) the other day. It's in Okachimachi (between Ueno and Akihabara) and fairly easy to find. Here's a Google Street View of the building (the door's on the right side).

[url]http://bit.ly/cfIe9j[/url]

Just push 501 and call on on the receiver on the wall and shortly thereafter the door will open. Go up to room 501 and ring the bell.

It's fairly straight forward. I was given some tea and explained the system. I was told the 7000 option on the website doesn't include any "extras" and is just a normal massage, so I went with the 10000 for 60 minutes option. Shortly thereafter was guided to a 'room' with a nice enough looking Korea girl waiting for me. She wasn't all that chatty, but nice enough and took off my clothes and guided me to the shower. She showered me, which was nice, paying special attention to down there. Dried off and back to the room for a mediocre 10 minute massage. She left the room for a few minutes and came back topless and flipped me over. From there it was a CBJ for awhile and then. Without any suggestion from me. She just got on her back and spread her legs. So I guess that FS is pretty much par for the course here. After we finished up, another shower, more tea and then I dressed up and was on my way.

Fairly simple, really, and relatively cheap at 10000 for FS. [/QUOTE]

Tried to find UBC in Ueno because it looked promising from the web site. Followed the directions and found the street easily enough, running parallel to the edge of the park behind the Tsutaya store. Got there early and nothing much was open, however a few touts approached me with books. One older guy had a book from a place called Scandals and he seemed less sleazy than the others but I didn't follow him either. Walked the length of the alley, which seems to have a large number of small clubs as well as eating places etc. UBC is about opposite the AMPM. I decided to chance a Thai massage place at the far end as it was one of the few places open and had a very nice massage but no extra services offered (too bad because the girl on duty was hot). I went to get something to eat and came back after dark and there was more traffic but still quite quiet (I think it must have been a holiday weekend). Found UBC and they were OK with me being Gaijin but I couldn't pass the language test at the counter. They were offering me a menu card and talking real fast. I tried to bluff my way through it but they politely turned me away. There is another place in the same building but the same thing happened. They were definitely open to foreigners though with better language skills. Back on the street and frustrated I made the fatal mistake of seeking out the Scandals place just because at least the tout had approached me in English. I found it down a side street despite being deflected a couple of times by touts for other establishments. The doorman welcomed me in English and let me in. He showed me a menu and I handed over my last few Yen for a 45 minute course. So far so good. I was taken inside to a small waiting room, given a drink and then taken a few minutes later to a booth inside. It was dark and there was loud music as usual. A girl appeared dressed in a nurses uniform. 30 something but not bad looking and quite busty. She got me to undress and wiped me down with the usual kit and put a condom on me before I was really even aroused. No english but she was smiling and giggling and put me at ease. Then things started to go down hill. Another menu appeared and I gathered that my chosen course did not include any touching or costume play. The options on the card were way expensive (like 50000 and up) so I tried to decline. She was persistent so I made fatal mistake #2 of opening my wallet to show that I didn't have any Yen left. I had about $100 US in there and she literally grabbed it and ran out of the booth. I was so surprised I just sat there dumbfounded! She came back a minute later and I though maybe she had given the cash to the doorman and I had unwittingly bought some lesser option. But then she motioned if I had any more and clearly mentioned credit cards but luckily I didn't have any with me. I said no more and she got quite pissed. She got me to lie down and started a hurried hand job while continuing to grumble away in Japanese. Not knowing what option I might have paid for I tried to touch her but that just prompted another request for credit cards. She actually reached for my pants to try looking through my pockets before I pushed them away. Meanwhile she continued giving the most rushed hand job it has ever been my misfortune to experience. Ironically since I was so pissed with her she had a hard time getting me off so she had to work at it more than usual. Finally when I filled the undersize condom she laughed and lightened up a bit but I just wanted to get out of there. She cleaned me up quickly, helped me on with my clothes and showed me out. I was going to complain to the doorman but he made himself scarce. Definitely not a place I would recommend. Maybe with better language skills I could have avoided the problems but I don't get to Japan very often so I haven't picked up more than a few words. Hope others can avoid falling into this trap. There seemed to be dozens of other small places around there but I was in no mood to explore further.
