Dubai Reports

[QUOTE=Cool Nomad]Finally, mongering is like driving a car. There is certain amount of inherent risk the moment you are on the road. Sensible use of seat belts and passive restraints like airbags reduces the risk but does not completely mitigate it.[/QUOTE]Like the analogy, though it seems you drive with a 4 point harness :)

[QUOTE=NormanBrightside]Apart from the relief that Ramadan in Dubai wasn't the barren Oasis I was fearing the overwhelming impression I got was of how strange the "Blingdom" of Dubai was. Although I'm sure the reality of those living there is very different from visitors; from a visitor's perspective it all seems to be about striving to be the biggest, tallest, richest, strangest, newest. A little like Vegas without the class.[/quote]So well and aptly put. Thanks, I needed the smile.

No: the reality for us residents is NOT different than visitors. We're just so used to it as to be blind to it.

No: The majority of PRC's I know do shave the pits.

[QUOTE=Ericklein]"WG Working girl. A prostitute."[/quote]Study is good, but it's like reading about riding a bicycle - you can read all you want, but until you actually do ride the bike, you don't know how, and more reading won't help. Once you get here, and go out to the bars, everything will fall into place. It is VERY easy here.

[QUOTE=Mikito, Reports: 2, Join Date: 08-29-04]I normally prefer to stay in a hotel that is both GF and has its own hunting ground so I used to stay at the Sheraton Diera[/QUOTE]Thanks for giving back by posting your previous experiences. They really help other members.

[QUOTE=Spelman]Just try it sometimes, the search bottom.[/quote]Believe me, it's a losing battle :)

[QUOTE=Wicked Roger]Good reply MK but some of us expats not as wealthy as others so we have to save our cash by foregoing other pleasures or save cash by doubling up with the girls and pay less per girl for MFF and MFFF :) - well thats my reasoning.

Enjoy Kz[/QUOTE]My tact is to stick to 2 beers maximum in the bars whereas back home I would normally knock back a few more. The amount of money you save on the outrageous beer prices here can buy you a fun night :-)

The main way funding works for most Brits (I suspect) is from our nice government not taxing us when we live abroad unlike the nasty US government. So I think of it as a tax perk from Mr Brown.

Fans of the Seaview Band will be pleased to know there are now two more videos on You Tube, bringing the total to five. In You Tube UTFSE for Seaview Band Dubai

[QUOTE=NormanBrightside]Oh yes and that PRC's don't shave their armpits: (. [/quote]Odd, I haven't found one of them that doesn't shave their pits. Sounds like you just got lucky! :) And I've sampled quite a few PRC's since moving here a month ago. I'm finding it hard to write FR's since nothing specifically interesting happens.

Went to Rattlensakes a few times, within 15-20 minutes and one beer in, was off with my new missus' for the night - performances all acceptable, nothing over the top, nothing overly disappointing..... I'm kind of hoping one of them slips in the shower again (see previous FR hah) because at least I get to write something interesting!!

I have to say though, I'm thoroughly burnt out on the PRC contingent. Spotted a very cute personable stani at the rattler but she was with some local. We chatted a bit every time he went to the bathroom, slipped her my number (on the sly) when they were leaving but she never called - Boo hoo :(

I'll find her again!

Otherwise, I'm finding the scene a bit late since I'm working so much. I know, I know, I could hit Broadway early but damn that's a haul, wrong side of the creek! Went there last week around 6pm'ish and it was pretty dead. Maybe 10 girls, few guys in national dress, and the music was stupidly loud. Who wants to have a conversation? I mean, it's much more entertaining screaming at some poor girl, 2 inches from her ear "HOW MUCH!?". *grumble*

But it's a strange parody, I need to sneak the girl into my flat (Marina) because I've no idea if the staff would get weird about it, so later is better.. but waking up at 5am is rough enough when you have an early session! And weekends, well.. what weekends?

I miss Vegas :(. Been here a few weeks and already looking at the few year commitment in my contract with more than little anxiety. It's different living here than just coming on business trips - and my salary is only partially tax free.

Oh well. My girl will be here soon (couple of days) which will confine my extracurricular activities to in house AMP's and the like. Now. Who do I need to bribe/buy copious amounts of beer for to find those rumored indian/CIS inhouse places. Anyone want beers tomorrow night? Lots of beers? ;)

[QUOTE=Tercar 66] ... we went to Chelesea Hotel in bur Dubai. It is behind new gold souq. It has a bar called players longe. It has a good Canadian band and the lead singer keeps the crowd going. Good crowd, no hookers.. [/QUOTE]Tercar - check out the Philipino club in Chelsea Hotel (the name of the club escapes me), but it's direct left as you enter the lobby. There are definitely some WGs in the crowd, and I've taken a few girls' numbers from there. WR and I had a bit of fun there one night (WR - do you remember the name of the Philipino club?).

It has a great all-girl Filipina band.

A pal of mine recently returned an told me of the in house bars at the St George hotel in Deira.

Apparently there are several in the building frequented by Middle eastern looking girls at competitive rates. He said in fact that some look so similar to arab girls, that one could fullfill their middle eastern fetishes by taking one.

Has anyone any views on the St George? I've not had the pleasure of visiting the place as of yet, although i get the vibe of a larger version of Broadway after he mentioned the coffee shop downstairs and the amount of locals who attended there with pimpettes.

The Name of the Club is Tiya Maria.

The all girl Band has changed. A new Band has come with 4 Girls and guys.

D[/QUOTE]From memory, it was the very first club I visited in Dubai around six years ago. Your pal's decription is how I remember the place. Coffee shop/bar downstairs, full of Arabesque CIS girls in abayas in the evening, before they migrate to one of the nightclubs upstairs around 10 or 11pm. Most of the customers are arab guys. The girl I talked to and took home asked me how I knew about the place (being the only westerner there). It was a random choice by the taxi driver after I asked him to take me to a place where I could meet girls. From memory, it's near the gold markets overlooking the creek.

Tin Tin - yep, it's Tiya Maria - thanks.

Hi Folks,

I travelled to Dubai three times in late October / early November and enjoyed the trips very much. However, without one excemption, I relied on already approved service providers. The pro's and con's of such proceeding were already discussed here.

The only problem I am now facing is: While in any bigger club I do have my favourite now, it makes me uncomfortable to move freely. I enter the club, she spots me and the expectation is generated I will take here. While of those "approved" I always got a good service, incl. long stay etc., I am not intending to disapont them in taking alternative sources in there front.

Consequently my number of spots is decreasing and I have to detour to less popular or frequented spots.

Has anyone same experiences and how do you deal with this. I mean I am just not comfortable in a club to make my choice and receive a disappointed face from a basically great provider I certainly will use at a later stage.

Just for the records, the events were good as usual but nothing special to report about. Further the increasing traffic congestion puts me longer time on the road and reduces my time for rest. While also becomming older I sometimes just enjoy my bed for myself only.

Greetings to all of you,

Tom

...no question - great work,

but for those like me, a street and an area would be fine too.

Has anyone same experiences and how do you deal with this. [/QUOTE]I deal with it in as much of a respectful and face-saving way as I can in such a situation. At Rattler, I often see my favorite PRC/Korean, Sisi. She will come and flirt, we'll chat a bit, then I let her know within a few minutes whether or not I'll take her, or if I will take another girl. If the latter, I usually just say "Best you go look for another customer tonight". At first she would pout, but she has since told me she likes the fact that I don't play around with her for ages in the club when I have no intention of taking her. That way, neither of us have wasted our time. She has to make a living, and I gotta sow my oats widely. ;)

Well it has been answered already (Tia Maria) but I do remember you getting the number of cute Filipina there by giving her your number on a piece a paper I found for you...what friends do for friends....:) And she called and SMS you as well. I was the model of sobreity and conservatism that night ...mainly as I had shagged a lovely Filipina in your spare bedroom a couple fo hours earliet :)

Did you ever see her (Natascha?)

P1,

certainly I would do the same, but still feel somewhat under supervision - and what I hate most if I asked next time, how it was, what we did.

Yes I can do it, but I am just not comfortable.

Hi Folks,

does anyone remember my advertisement posted at classifieds?

This is one of the latest responses I just wish to share with you:

[QUOTE=XXX]Hi Tom,

I called ur tel. # & to the person answered saying that this is Dubai Police number. His accent also seems to be like locals. Any idea what's wrong here.

Any how I will B interested to get 5 each contacts from the following:

1: Kyrgyzstan
2: Kazakhstan
3: Pakistan

As my trip to Dubai mostly is short and would like to know is there any way of getting the contacts paying U via Western Union or by online money transfer?

Regards
XXX[/QUOTE]

This is not my own joke, I got it in the mailbox. I deleted the senders identity, leave it without any comment and just share it with you - at least those interested and remembering.

Greetings,
Tom
