General Reports

I agree. Chubbier Chinese girl that looks nothing like the pictures or video. Very disappointing.

[QUOTE=RolexChadder;7365518]Few days late review as usual, apologies. Went to see Jessica at Punahou, along Beretenia St on Tuesday (where Nancy was, she's Russian and Vietnamese). Total bait and switch, the photos in the Bedpage ad didn't look like her at all. She was a wonderful provider overall, just not to my liking personally. Have a wonderful massage, however I don't know if she was left handed or something, but she did great work on the left side of my body and not so good on my right side. With the week I've had I really wish she went harder on my right side of my back because it's so tired and hurting right now. I feel most of you guys here would have a good time with her even though I personally didn't enjoy anything outside of the massage. Chinese woman, was told she's 25 but in my opinion she looked 30 ish.

Also what is with Chinese girls asking about the client's family. During the massage she asked me where my parents were from, if I lived with them, and when was the first time I had sex. Complete turn off for me, and it's the same thing with a few of the Chinese ladies I've been with over the past few years. Like I get it if they're trying to make a connection for the client's pleasure but who on earth wants to talk about family members when you're butt naked with a woman??[/QUOTE]

Beside Pepsi who else is doing video?. I remember certain providers were doing video at J-Spa. I haven't been to J-Spa yet. Did video with Pepsi the last time she was here (last month).

Uncle looking for a good Japanese izakaya and came across this one. Seems kinda sketchy, no food pics, no nothing.

Japanese style tavern, hmmmm.

Does anybody know when Selena will be back?. Her location cc & number ending with 6234. The last time I text her in May she told me still on vacation. I even text her back in April & told Me on vacation. I hope she is ok.

Sorry I'm too lazy to look it up and if someone can just shoot the answer here to my question. What was the reason all those "spas" closed up shop in the AV Wong building? Some legal thing but I don't recall what the thing was.

I ask because I just saw an ad for sunshine massage but its not the ay wong building just going down a rabbit hole.

The effort took away police and prosecutorial resources away from more serious crime occurring in Honolulu. The Chief Prosecutor decided to focus their efforts elsewhere. I believe that police may still be able to seize property, but it is no longer a priority.

There was also a specific bill in the legislature targeting seizure of buildings hosting massage parlors and gambling dens, the that bill died in committee.

[QUOTE=IchiroCho;7378327]I believe that police may still be able to seize property, but it is no longer a priority.[/QUOTE]Yup, the general Hawaii forfeiture law, HRS Chapter 712 A, includes as covered offenses "promoting prostitution"; "sex trafficking"; "habitual commercial sexual exploitation"; and "commercial sexual exploitation near schools or public parks". That wasn't affected by the recent bill that died in committee. However, HRS Chapter 712 A is lengthy and complicated.

I recall that previously there was also some talk about the ownership of the property being threatened with legal action by law enforcement authorities if the prostitution continued, but don't know whether or not that was accurate.

I'm writing this from my iPad bc I cannot access this site from my android phone and ms computer. It's been going on for a few weeks now. Anyone know of a workaround that actually works?

Okay Gangie, something definetly suspect obout this place, not your typical izakaya restaraunt, Uncle just senses more like Japanese single owner / Bartendress kinda place, all that from just peeking in from outside. As around 5:30, prior to opening at 6:00, Uncle was just peeking in from outside to check things out. Then while waiting for friends outside, as we were going to another place, this lady unlocked the door and took a walk outside. She looked like a way way younger version of Mai, dressed in a black shoulder strapped, knee high summer dress, very cute japanesey casual. Going to have to go back and do a little more research. . .

I'm looking at the site on my android phone right now, no problem. Sadly not a techy so can't offer a solution.

Stay safe,

So on your phone or browser, try usiing Incognito mode on the Google Chrome browser. I believe Safari and Firefox browsers have an Incognito mode as well. What this does is eliminates the chance of a corrupt cookie or cache causing issues connecting to a site. If you cannot load the site using Incognito mode, then that might meant something happening higher up, like maybe your provider (spectrum, HawTel), having issues.

Normally, I'd say try a VPN to check if the network provider is blocking certain sites, but since I've had both, I'll save you the trouble. Neither block this site (usasexguide. Nl). The only time I run into Bad Gateway is around 9 pm-10 pm HST, and I think that when the site goes down for maintenance.

Hope this helps!

Sounds more like one of those Japanese counter bars, as not much on the menu. Melissa Chang's review, "Tororo turns out to be a new izakaya with a 6 to 8 pm Happy hour, which is normal dinner hours for everyone else. Owner Shiho Torimoto explained that they get busy after 9 pm Because they're already a hangout for food and beverage industry employees unwinding after work. ".

Sounds like an interesting concept in Hawaii and if it is anything like Japan, kinda like Naru's, but with beautiful hosts, making the drinks go down much easier, hopefully they evolve in to a fun and happening place.

Go to Bedpage and they have locations that are sometimes in Kona or Hilo.

So one session as I was done, mama wasn't there. She was settling in another girl that just arrived into the other room. When I came out there was some dude sitting there. He was a friend / BF of the mama I'm guessing. He yelled her name and said I was done. I just let myself out. Those situations are so awkward.

Then. Last night I'm out having dinner with the family and he's one table over. I don't think he recognized me or he was smart enough to not notice or say anything. But yeah, that was such an uncomfortable dinner for me LOL.

Just wondering if you think the "visiting her for seven days / first time in hawaii. " chicks are better providers or worse than the residents? My epiphany I just had now is the the visitors arent caring about repeat customers so are will to overcharge, scam, shorten etc.

My experience with visitors is that they are so-so but I got 1-2 that are calling me whenever they return so maybe those are better?

No need fight the traffic. Just watch'um live.

Anybody else get those tiny black beetles in their rice?

[QUOTE=CheapCharlie;7396443]Anybody else get those tiny black beetles in their rice?[/QUOTE]Nothing can be done to your existing batch.

On your next batch of rice I would add 4-6 dry bay leaves to a half gallon container and spacing them out. This works for me and I rarely get bugs anymore. The small black bugs are common in rice, pasta / noodles, or flour products.
