Trip Planning

[QUOTE=DeadRater;3741793]Hey, I'm planning to go to Japan (Akihabara area) and I wanted to know is there any good stuff around there? Any places / area's to go or avoid would most helpful. Thanks![/QUOTE]I was there a few times a year ago. They have this 6+ story sex toy shop near the train station with just about everything you can think of. I bought this Tenga self maturbating contraption. Works pretty well. Haha. As far as getting it on with native Japanese, you will need to speak pretty decent Japanese. If not, they will pass you on to the Chinese girls. Wouldn't recommend. We got better ones here.

If you head to Osaka, got many more that will do foreigners. I guess the Tokyo girls are more stuck up. I just got my married MILF when I'm in Tokyo. Way better than any AMP girl here. Super horny and can come 50+ times in one sessh. CIM, CIP, CIA. Basically anything my heart desires. I think I need to pay another visit with her. She doesn't come to Hawaii anymore due to young 2 why / o. Anyway, don't go to kabukicho. Total ROBs there. Watch out for the mafia too.

I wasn't really looking for stuff for self play and was hoping for a little action with some girls. Sucks about the language barrier. My plan to learn how to speak Japanese now. Damnit should plan to go to Osaka for the first time rather than Tokyo. Oh well. Also you lucky SOB that sounds like a fun time and thanks for the warning. Will make sure to avoid the area (not too sure what ROB's mean) and didn't think I would have to watch out for the Japanese Mafia for trying to play with the fishes XD.

[QUOTE=SmashPuss;3741878]It depends on how foreign you look and your level of Japanese. Your options are limited to foreigner services only. Check out tokyoadultguide, they have tons of threads for sexpats in Japan, although in Tokyo area it's mostly call girl service.

I don't recommend Yoshiwara if you can't speak Japanese, they don't allow most foreigners, and if they do they give you the D class girls at 1. 5 x the price.[/QUOTE]I look Japanese enough but I can't speak a lick of Japanese. Thanks for warning me of that area.

Basically what he's saying is think of Tokyo = Waikiki. It's a tourist trap and every boner walking around wanting to dip his chopsticks into some sushi will get suckered into a money trap.

You right. Should have went Osaka. Damn I can only dream of going back there. Also, like others have said, at least try learn the basic stuff like thank you, please, how are you, etc. Goes a long way even though you look like a local.

Thanks![/QUOTE]I've never experienced, but I read online that this is a pretty easy to use system. In fact, if you look on You Tube there is a video of someone who shows you where it is. Again, I've never done this but it looks like you just go to an office, place your "order" on a computer and then meet the girl at the love hotel. If you do this please report.

Going to Miami for a weekend. Anyone partake in some fun activities there? Thinking about hitting up one of the agencies but not sure which ones are good. May just hit up a club too to see if I can find some beauties. Would appreciate any info or recommendation. Please PM me. Thanks!

Knowledge is power.

The seniors (OG) who paved the way for me here, I show homage to the founding fathers. You know who you are.

Just curious, for the worldly traveler; in this day and age of technology, how do you track currency? Example, say you want to get the best bang for your buck, knowing what the United States dollars is, compared to say the Philippines pesos. Do you use a web site? Or know a trusted company that always gives the best rates? Mahalo in advance.

Going Vegas next month. Any leads. Would like a massage with HE in room. Anyone try providers there? Or are there any good AMP?

Howzit Hinode! Mahalo for all your posts. Enjoy all the commentary. Been using yahoo currency converter. This is update almost daily. If you type in country or currency type it will take you to a page with all the info, trends etc. By and large I have had the best success converting cash at the airport upon arrival before leaving baggage claim but before customs. Sometimes currency exchange is after customs. Just depend on the country. I would rather exchange currency at airport rather than hotel. Also if you have a friend there sometimes black market is better exchange. Have done that In Bali and PI and got a better rate. Make sure you trust the person before handing your cash over. Have fun!

Aloha.

In China Town get several AMPs. Tried couple times. Had both decent and bad experiences. For me, they always try to upsell. IMO not worth it. One girl wanted $$/ tip for just BJ. I walked out. To me, the AMPs in Honolulu is the best. Of course, as always TEHO. I rather just gamble when I'm in Vegas anyway. But, that just me. Good luck.

H.[/QUOTE]It isn't enough to be able to track exchange rates. There are a number of phone apps that can and will provide you with international banking exchange rates (I use the iPhone App "XE", for example). The app will tell me what the current exchange rate might be but the real key to find someplace that will match that rate.

For example, I'm planning a trip to Japan in the near future and needed to land with a little bit of local currency. I need to find a place that will give me a good rate here. I look at XE and find that the going bank rate today is $1 US = 106.7550 JPY. However, when I call the Currency Exchange, they are only offering 102.25 JPY per dollar + $9. 95 service fee + $5 handling fee. BOH offering no fees but exchange rate of 99.425 JPY per dollar.

It is a marketplace like any other where demand dictates price, The best you can do is to known what the big boys are trading at and try to get as close to that rate as possible. That knowledge is what the app provides.

If you have friends that own stores in Waikiki, you can do this. My friend's store would take yen, but of course, their rate would be kind of low to the tourist. Using FCH's low buy rate of 102, the store would pay maybe 95. I could then buy it from my friend at the 95 rate, and amass enough for travel. Likewise, if you have Filipino or Korean friends, they may have some pesos or won you can buy from them at a good rate.

They are basically buying yen from tourists and selling to locals or back to the tourists, so the buy / sell spread is pretty tight, as they are the only middle man. If it happens to be a day when they are holding a lot of yen, they will sell the yen to you at a favorable rate, likely to minimize their overnight exposure. This kind of situation normally occurs when there is a surge in Japanese visitors, like special holidays. I don't know if they do other currencies.

It's Pacific Money Exchange. Best to call several days before you need the yen, so they have time to accumulate It if they do not have enough.

If the dollar gets weaker on a certain day, DFS still uses the previous days rates. It's been trading around 105 if you're buying yen. 108 if you're selling. The 3 yen spread gives you the 1. 5 up and down. Go at night. They clear out everything at night and start with just USD in the morning. Limit is $999 per day per person. If you go with three other people, you can trade up to $3996.

Then press 1, 1, 1 to skip ahead in the recording to get the actual rates. Again, go at night. They will have a lot more yen available due to all the Japanese trading during the day. It's in the middle of DFS, street level. Next to the area that sells Big a Island Candies and Honolulu Cookie Co. Street level and 2nd Floor are accessible to the general public.
