[QUOTE=Smoothy;1951276]Don't let the idiots get to you..[/QUOTE]Smoothy, who are you calling idiots? An apology is due.

[QUOTE=Hilo77;1950949]No I think I am just as light-hearted as I used to be and like Smoothy, Menteng and Hungman I too was a regular at the Rev's old site, which was a place many of the new posters should visit to see how discussing this hobby can be done in style, informatively and with good humor.

My recent sense of humor failure was related to the obvious bitchiness (if this gets censored too for being argumentative then so be it) that has crept in here. I am not alone, I know several other regular posters who are fed up with the niggling back-biting and pissing competitions that some posters here seem to be determined to carry on.

Arguments over taxi ranks and visa queues FFS, I ask you?

I posted a long and what I considered interesting article about what I think may have been a phenomenon unknown to many of the bule posters here, that if you have the brass neck you can actually haggle the bill with the sexy dancers at Classic. Now maybe everyone already knew that, perhaps I am a naive newbie (I doubt it) but it was something I thought might be of interest to other posters here and decided to take the time to share it.

First response? A snarky reply in which the poster wanted to show that he was oh-so clever and more knowledgeable than me and how he was never fooled like I was. A response that so spectacularly missed the point I had taken the effort to make that I responded in irritation, and perhaps haste.

But listen guys if you want to turn what was once an interesting, good-humored and informative forum where knowledge, suggestions and experiences were freely exchanged in a collegiate spirit, well have at it, it's not the place I'm interested in remaining, and judging by the precipitate decline in posters and posts in recent months I am certain that I am not alone.[/QUOTE]Your post is usual. Somebody who thinks too much of himself and not open to others views. If you do not like others opinions, just put the other posters on your ignore list like Koperen Klaas stated and you can continue to feel like a King. Don't need your disrespectful remarks and if you are unable to communicate with others respectfully, don't dish your anger on to others. I am not going to lower myself to your level and say nothing.

[QUOTE=Smoothy;1951321]That's true. I think that renovation was around 2005.

I just tried to log into that old blokm site and it appears the forum is gone. Too bad, we had some good discussions on there. It does still have the photos though. I just looked at the old Lintas Melawai photos, and they brought back some memories. Those had to have been taken before digital cameras. That place was awesome. Many good hours spent in there.[/QUOTE]Those photos! I just took a sentimental journey to that site: memories, memories!

[QUOTE=Smoothy;1951463]I think it's pretty obvious that the clown on this forum is lost99. No apology due.[/QUOTE]Ironic this is coming from the guy who spends every minute on various Sex Forums, criticizes every other member, including those who wish to carry passports to avoid getting detained by Customs.

You are the real reason why nobody likes to contribute here. Job well done Mr self-proclaimed sheriff!

I went to BATS again last night. The talent level was again absolutely great! The girl I took home was the best one I have ever taken home from BATS (even better than the last one). She wasn't any better looking than the girl last time, she was about the same (both were great), but her attitude was off the charts. Absolutely fantastic night. What a little stunner. In no way is BATS a dead option. I highly recommend it. It's just a shame the prices have gotten so high.

When I was last there in March the girl quality was disappointing to say the least. It is good to hear that the quality talent has returned. "Her attitude was off the charts. Absolutely fantastic night. " - I know exactly how you feel. I have met some amazing 5 star hotel bar FL's too.

[/QUOTE]So true. It's hit or miss. There can be zero talent one night and great talent the next. It's not consistent anymore like it was in the early 2000's.

[QUOTE=KoperenKlaas;1948639]The Jakarta Post reported today that Mille's has been closed by authorities after another case of drug use was discovered. This time a policeman was the culprit.

Surprise, surprise.

Regards,

Ko.[/QUOTE]Would anybody have the number of Pak Anis, the old guy with no teeth that was always hanging out at Mille's? I left my Motorcycle helmet with him two weeks ago but he took off before I could get back to him. I haven't had a chance to get back there since. If anyone knows, please PM.

Thanks OS.

How much did it cost you in drinks and the girl-and did she stay till noon the next day like it is done in the Philippines?

[QUOTE=Canute;1951893]How much did it cost you in drinks and the girl-and did she stay till noon the next day like it is done in the Philippines?[/QUOTE]Unfortunately, I tend to buy a lot of drinks. Not just for me, but for the girls. (I prefer that they are at least a bit drunk when I take them home.) One drink at that bar (even beer) will be around 12 to 15 dollars USD (it ain't cheap). I think I spent about $100 on drinks. I believe the minimum entry fee drink is 150 k which is about $12 usd. The girl cost about $120 usd for short time (1. 5 million). I believe she wanted 2 million for long time (about $150 usd), but I don't do long times. We got to my place early morning around 2 am, and she left around 5 am. We only shagged once, but it was a long shag and we did joke around where she was dancing and singing for me naked before the shag. The experience was awesome. The price, not so awesome. To be honest, I am not the expert on taking girls for long time. But I believe you may be hard pressed to find a girl who will agree to stay till noon. A lot of them will only do short times. But if you find one who doesn't have an indo boyfriend or a baby at home and doesn't want to go out and do drugs with the money she just made from you right after she's finished with you, the girl might stay until noon. I can't even remember the last time I did that however. It also depends how much she likes you. There are times I do have the girls come over and stay for a few days after I know them a bit, but on first meeting I never do longer than a short time. I always tell them that the amount of money I give them for those few days depends on how much fun and sex they make sure I have. So it differs.

Blok M has much cheaper drinks (about half the price) and the girls there will be more likely to stay until noon if you want. The price of the girls is also about half of what you pay at Shangri-la. Unfortunately, the quality is normally not as high. But last Saturday night at 4 am, there was some pretty good talent there in My Bar at Blok M for a girl's birthday party. Those are some of the same girls you can find in Shangri La. You just don't always see them there at Blok M. They didn't arrive until around 4 am though, and that's basically closing time.

I personally prefer LT as I like to take things slow, plus I like the morning sex, and I enjoyed their looks when they were still feeling dazed and half-asleep. As to whether they were willing to stay till noon, it all depends on their situation. I came across one who insisted that she had to leave no later than 7 AM since since she needed to get to work at Carre Four the next morning. I had encountered many who would have no issue staying till late morning or noon.

There are too many posters in this thread who get off by criticizing others and not contributing anything useful. You can think of a number of names by yourself.

Smoothy is right when he calls these attack dogs idiots. What do they hope to achieve?

[QUOTE=Menteng;1951440]Those photos! I just took a sentimental journey to that site: memories, memories![/QUOTE]I hadn't visited the Blog M site (as it's now called) for some time and it was a happy renewal. The light touch of the Reveler is sorely missed. Wonder what happened to him.

I took a look along the last couple of pages of this thread and unfortunately a large part of the posts are from the few obnoxious characters on my ignore list. They look to be quite successful in taking over the entire thread.

[QUOTE=LifeIsABeach;1951372]you can continue to feel like a King. [/QUOTE]I vote for Menteng as the King of this Indo forum. I would vote for Bulai, but he doesn't seem to post here anymore. That's a damn shame because his stories were always interesting and unique. He came up with many good ideas that I had not thought of trying.

Hey all,

I've been digging around for a few weeks now for my first trip to Jakarta. The trip will only be a few days.

I have some work to take care of in Kemang, South Jakarta, but obviously want to hit these spots in the North.

From what I hear about the famous traffic. Am I just screwed, and looking at hours each way to get up there from Kemang?

I'm wondering if I should just take care of my business on the south and totally uproot myself to a hotel in the North, rather than waste so much dough and time bouncing south to north. Advisable?

Been reading of price jumps for Classic and the like.

Honestly, since spending so much time in China, I've taken a liking to Spas.

How are they? Sands? Orchards? Comfort? So much to choose from.

Is Kotah Indah worth hitting as a foreigner?

If you had to pick one of the "big few" (Alexis, M Star, Terminal, etc) with only a few days, which would you go for?

It's a bit difficult to understand who has rooms for "on site" and who doesn't, but I'll keep digging.

Thanks, and cheers.
