I'm already feeling better. :)

BTW, I had the above situation, almost like that photo, in a New Zealand massage parlour. So go book your ticket.

Hey, someone deleted the nice picture of what you did to that woman. :(

That's Puritanism for you. Despite the fact that I'd covered over the X-rated sections of the jpegs, the concept in itself was disturbing.

Now you see why I can't wait till I get my leave to go to Australia/NZ.

Oh well, some people just don't appreciate natural beauty.

Don't blame you. Do you even want to come back?

When I hit 50, I'll be looking at getting a retirement visa there. Right now, we have to leave every 3 mos, without a proper long term business visa. I don't see the point in going through that hassle, as I won't be starting a company there, anyways.

But yeah, I don't want to come back. When I was on those business trips to Sydney, I was so productive, because I was regularly boning hoes. And at the same time, I did go to social gatherings, did tourist-y things, ate some great food, drank some Shiraz (ok, much of it Down Under is blended) but still, it was f'cking awesome. I come back home and all I see are these desperate men, hitting on every woman at a party, who doesn't weigh a ton ... so much for Americana. We're a pathetically lame society.

I looked into it when you previously mentioned it. I think the age requirement is 55. Besides, the cost of living is a lot higher than USA. If you want your dollars to go further, won't a place like Thailand or something be a better bet? Even their hot escorts cost a lot less.

My impression of Thailand, as well as, a lot of SE Asia is that those places are good for let's say 2-3 mos per year. The problem there is that between foreigners and locals, familiarity breeds contempt. So a short timer there is kinda an ex-pat *star player* but a long term person there, has to deal with regular discrimination, even if it's subtle.

So yes, between let's say the day when my stint at this hedge fund is done, till the official day when I'd done with America, I'll intersperse between Australia/NZ, Thailand, and other places. And as for CoL in Australia, just like in Boston or NYC metro, the further out you go, the cheaper the real estate. And really, Sydney's the biggest money sink. The outer 'burbs in Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane are a lot cheaper.
