Apropos nothing in Asia

Postby suwon fish » Wed Feb 23, 2011 8:59 am

Having lifted the gauntlet thrown down by Cold Harvest, I will post some random pics of my adventures/misadventures in Thailand, Cambodia and Korea.

These are just pics that either make me smile or chuckle. Please feel free to add your own to this thread...

To kick off, my favourite picture ever. The day I certified as a scuba instructor. The pic was taken in a little bar in Kata (in "the swamp" for those who know the area). It was a very good day.

Image

This pic is from the Safari nightclub in Phuket. Safari is an open air nightclub, literally hacked out of the jungle. The dance floor was made from the felled trees. The most kick ass nightclub I have ever been to...
Safari has it's own climbing wall, and being an asshole, I had to give it a go ^^

Image

The Eden Club is legendary for, uh, good service, amongst other things... I got to know these two ladies there. Again, for those who know Eden, they were on the dirty side of the line.

Image

The greatest scuba club that ever was, or ever will be again...

Image


One of my students providing some much needed discipline to the local staff...

Image

I'm the guy on the left enjoying a well earned fag. This pic features Russel Krogh (Deep Blue Quest) and Ralph Deutch (Big Blue 33). Together we made up 60% of the western scuba instructors in Korea. A bomb going off would have nearly wiped out the leisure scuba diving industry in Korea!

Image

The lady in this pic was the mamasan from a bar I liked. I was all fired up to go sport fishing. She hooked up a fishing trip for me, but not like I was expecting. We went to a restraunt with an attached swimming pool. You litereally had to fish for your supper then they cooked it up on the spot. Some of these critters had labels on them that meant you won $10 or a bottle of local hooch. It was a fucking riot! Try it if you get the chance.

Image

This pic is from Sockcho on the East Sea (Sea of Japan). Behind me in the cloud is the Sorak mountain range. I can't remember why I am posing like a twat. I'll let you make up your own minds

Mr Shaw, I think it was a kind king prawn. If I ever do find a frog in an ice cube, you will be the first person I send the pic to!

Don't worry Mr Shaw, I'm not coming out of the closet! It's just an American thing. If an American says he bums a lot of fags, he simply means that he ponces a lot of ciggies. If a Brit said the same thing it would mean he thouroughly enjoys "Ugandan practices".

I hope that cleared it up for you ^^

If I was a fag as you brits would have it, why would I be kissing this beautiful woman???

The youngest barmaid in the world

Postby suwon fish » Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:51 am

There was a strip of restraunts/bars on victory beach where me and a buddy would relax and perv at (check out) the wives of Russian gangsters. In their string bikinis and with gym hard bodies they were maybe worth waking up next to a horses head for... I didn't get any pics of the gangster molls, but I took a pic of our favorite barmaid. The older I get, the younger barmaids look!

Image

ATTN: Yes, it's Cambodia, yes, it's a kid. This poppet helped out her mother at a family owned bar/restraunt. Wonderful food, lovely people. End of message.

I have done quite a bit of travellin and have been to a lot of places but the biggest bit of culture shock I have ever had was when I was sat at the Tottenham pub on Oxford Street and some bloke asked me if he could bum a fag. Almost fell off my bar stool.

You sure thats a woman? Seems to be a bit of adams apple action goin on there.

No. A Yank or a Canucklehead that bums fags is as queer as a 3 dollar bill.

Pretty sure suwonfish posted that pic as a joke, Rick. Wig, chin, cheeck-bones = trap.

This is the view from The J bar balcony. J bar is run by a German called Johnny, who is (in his own mind) a stylish dresser. Peaceful and beautiful, you can enjoy the sun setting as you drink 50c beers.
After you're drunk, Johnny will try to lure you into a dice game called Mexico. Soon after you start playing you'll lose your shirt and Johnny will add it to his collection.
I drank there 5 or 6 times and one evening, I was impressed when some local ladies hosted an impromtu sex show! Add cheap beer and a million dollar view to that and you have a good bar!

Image

Just a random pic from Ocheteaul beach. Not really my cup of tea (fucking backpackers!) but I did enjoy the $3 buckets of G&T or Vodka and redbull. Yup, that comes in a bucket, no shit. Like a kids bucket and spade bucket, 'cept with a straw in it.
One thing I always hoped to see was one of those asshole firedancers setting himself on fire. No luck yet :(

Image

This lady is a Korean haen-ya. These ladies freedive for shellfish and octopus. The trade is dying out as no young blood is entering the industry. The youngest licenced haenya in Jeju is late forties with the oldest being late eighties. This haenya worked an average depth of 12 m but in Jeju the normal working depth is 20 m. I'm a better than average free diver but I can't get close to these ladies. She was really shy and hated having her pic taken. I tried to help this old lady with her bag and nearly popped a disc in my back. It took 2 of us to carry this old ladies bag to her handcart.
