This story is from late last year.
I had picked up a young Viet spinner from Thai Club, and kept her LT. It was a good, but not spectacular, night, with two pops including the second being CIM (she then ran to the bathroom and spat, so, oh well). This isn't the point of the story however.
In the morning I woke up rather hungry, so, rather than fooling around, I asked the girl (Oanh) if she wanted to go to the hotel breakfast. I was staying at the Hilton KL Central which has an excellent, and huge, buffet breakfast spread. She was very excited by this so we cleaned up and headed down to breakfast. We got a table by one of the windows and proceeded to have a very nice, leisurely breakfast. However, sitting at a table nearby was an older American couple, bit short, bit round, very much the Midwest twang. Right through breakfast they continued to check us out, and make comments to each other. A few of these could be heard, and at least a couple were clearly designed to be overheard. They seemed to be getting quite upset that an older white man was sitting there having breakfast with a girl (though 30-ish) Asian woman, and had made the assumption that she was a prostitute.
OK, they happened to be right about that last part, but here is where the fun started.
Eventually, I got rather annoyed with this. So, I stood up, walked over to them, and asked them, with no attempt to reduce my voice, " You have spent all morning watching my wife and I and making comments that show you clearly think she is a prostitute. You are ignorant, racist, and xenophobic. You owe my wife and I an apology, and you need to try learning something about the cultures you visit, not just insulting things you do not understand" Okay, that was a bit of a paraphrase, but you get the gist. Through this the wife was getting very red, and the husband was stuttering a bit. The restaurant manager came over to intervene, so I turned to him and said "these people have spent the morning insulting and demeaning my wife and I think that they should be asked to apologize" At this point it began dawning on the wife that maybe this was true, and she was looking quite horrified. The manager turned to them and before he could even say anything the couple has stood up and said they were leaving. Seems they didn't want to offer an apology for some reason. The manager turned to me and was very apologetic, and also went over to Oanh and offered her several apologies. Oanh at first had sort of shrunk in her seat, but as the whole thing progressed had sat up straighter and straighter and by the end was puffing out her chest and glaring at the couple. After the manager left he had a bottle of champagne sent to the table, which the girl loved! And a few minutes later the husband came back in to retrieve his wife's coat, which they had forgotten in their haste to withdraw. Oddly enough he never even lifted his eyes to look up at us as he did so.
When we went back to the room Oanh literally jumped on me and tore my clothes off (I did lose one button from my shirt.) and we had an absolutely wild session, which this time ended with her swallowing. We cleaned up and cuddled for a while. I had agreed to pay her 600 LT, which I gave her before we went down to breakfast, but after she left I found 500 of it tucked under my pillow (when she did that I have no idea! I saw her again in early January, had a great time and she flatly refused payment of any kind, even taxi (so I went with her in the taxi and then took it back again).
Stand up for your girl, and reap the benefits!
Cheers,
BH.
