yeah East/SE Asia is great for vacation, but every single one of you soft bitches (me included) would crumble one week into their work culture.

Maybe when I retire, but by then I'd probably want to be far far away from any "hustle bustle" their cities offer.

Oh yah you sure proved that, only 2 nights of your trip and $1,000 CAD burned to get laid once. Sounds amazing.

Second night out was around $400 CAD for drinks, Uber back to hotel and a hotel booking. $400 for mediocre jungle Asian pussy is not it. At least I learned that those people... Do nothing for me.. I guess.

Meanwhile Japan elected their first far right female PM.

she’s against gender equality laws, supports forcing women to lose their maiden name (is against allowing an option for them to keep it), and that’s without going into the racism or the Hitler apologia in the 90’s.

Woman idiolized Thatcher but said she was perhaps a touch too liberal.

CivicBlues 10-03-2025 10:55 PM

wtf is "jungle asian pussy"? Did I read that right? He paid $400 to fuck a Filipino maid in HK after already spending 400 on drinks? Wut?

Badhobz 10-03-2025 11:00 PM

Poor phrasing on my part only adds up to $600 CAD. Still cheaper than Van lol.

This would've been closer to $300-$400 for just the amount of drinks we had, $80 more for Uber.

ugh its disgusting thinking about the cost of this in Van $

probably $400-500 for drinks anyway cause i can fathom spending more than that. What's a bottle cost these days?

Uber to hotel is probably $30 and uber home is like $80, so $110.

Hotel where I was in Sheung Wan, so probably equiv in Van is min $200 for the room?

Night = $710 - $810?

I wouldn't normally do a drinking date for first date out anyway here in Van or do a hookup date for that matter lol.

I can see why there are so many Americans over here. Food is so cheap and so is getting around.

And speaking of fat Chinese people, there's more than plenty of fat Mainland Chinese tourists here. Seems like being overweight with a chubby face still allows you to live a good life in China.

Funny enough, I had the time of my life in Osaka. There's so much more life to Osaka than Tokyo. In Tokyo, everyone seems dead inside. I went out with a Thai chick there (yes, I checked) and that was an incredibly cheap night. $40 for dinner, $36 for drinks, $Unknown for transit.

I saw a lot more fat people (or people that look like me) in the Osaka and surrounding areas tho.

If you and the wife like to sing, The Drunken Clam in Dotonbori is an incredible place. Family guy themed, cheap, and best of all no pressure to buy drinks to sing. I had my best nights there singing with a bunch of geezers from Ontario lol.

Jesus Christ, if you gotta spend 5 bills just on drinks to get laid you’re doing it completely wrong. What happened to not having $ to burn?

How plastered does she have to be? Just asking for a “I didn’t consent I was drunk” accusation with someone you don’t know at that point. Why do you even need drinks at all? I can barely remember 1 hookup ever that involved any drinks in my life and it certainly wasn’t more than a couple glasses of wine.

AIYA! Kids!

If you aren't laying a local chick that you aren't sampling the local culture :badpokerface:

But good for you to get laid, I've never tried because I've been with my wife for almost 20 years.

Can you elaborate on what sort of business you're referring to where risks and costs are low? I agree that the opportunity for success is better there given the talent pool, manufacturing resources, and logistical efficiency, but there's also a mega-ton of competition and potential overhead costs (not commonly found in the West) that might hold you back from making it big.

And....do you know what the market rate for a China plate right now even in today's depreciated valuations?

I miss my late 20's and early 30's... :tears:
:okay:

68style 10-04-2025 09:30 AM

Those were like 20 years ago Traum! Time to move on hahaha

:okay:

CivicBlues 10-04-2025 09:37 AM

Excuse me I may be out of the loop here but how in the actual fuck do you spend $400 in one night on drinks for you and a girl? IN HK??? Aren't these Honger chicks like 90lbs soaking wet? One can of San Miguel and a watered down cosmo should do the trick. Save the Moet for your 25th wedding anniversary.

I'm pretty sure bicbaws got taken by an escort in a bar scam.

JDMDreams 10-04-2025 09:57 AM

$400-500 CAD is a lot of drink in HK, a can of beer or Japan 196 is like $10 HKD at 711 and that's more expensive than grocery stores. Even getting a liter glass bottle of blue girl is only like $38 HKD at seafood restaurants. :fulloffuck:

westopher 10-04-2025 10:00 AM

I’m an absolute piss tank and I can’t spend $400 on drinks on a full day in Vegas even with some Bolivian marching powder.

unit 10-04-2025 10:48 AM

damn $400 for drinks, are you sure you werent in wanchai?

bcrdukes 10-04-2025 11:18 AM

Maybe he meant $400 HKD :derp:

Lol, So I just came back from watching the new Magellan (2025) movie at VIFF. Tons of Jungle Asian pussy in that movie. Literally hours of naked pinays running around in the jungle.

You should take your GF to watch it, there's another showing.

Lease costs are significantly lower and same with wages. Starting capital and risk of losing everything is way lower than Vancouver. Appliances, equipment, and repairs are gonna be way lower. Revenue will be lower too, but I'd take lower profits over risking $50-100K/month overhead any day.

Retail lease in Vancouver with some employees is over $50K/month. If sales slump, you're bleeding $300-500K a year on a small store :badpokerface:

To be honest, I haven't spent more than a few hours researching costs in Japan or China. Nor do I know anyone running SMB's there. So I'm ready to be educated.
