Day 3: Soi 13in Sauna

Day 3: 22 July

During the day there was nothing much going on except I continue on my shopping and things like that.. In the evening, instead of dinner, I headed off to Soi 13in Sauna..

Soi 13in is located very close to Shuanglian MRT station, less than 5 minutes walk.. If you come to the Y-intersection, you would have gone a little too far!

The entrance

Soi13in Sauna is really for everyone and of all ages, someone is someone's cup of tea, anytime is tea time..

The place was previously a karaoke, hence that explains all the rooms in the basement, yes, plenty of rooms! There's also a few dark rooms where all the action and crowd is.. each dark room can easily fit like 50 guys! Wooooooooooo!!

Guys here are not shy at all.. in fact I think it's the only sauna where everyone is comfortable being naked and just no one cover up.. It is also compulsory to be naked..

Lockers

Soi 13in is probably one of the cleaner saunas I've been to.. After each guest leave, the staff will disinfect and clean the lockers - there isn't a need to do so, but they do it here.. and the staff periodically will clean the rooms and downstairs cruising area as well as the wet areas (which is where the jacuzzi, steam, sauna, showers are).

As you enter and make your payment, you will be given a small green towel, lube and condom and key to your locker.. The staff will then show you the way to the stairs but they don't bother you when you are undressing, they will just wait at the end of the lockers to usher you..

One floor down is the wet areas and lounge.. There is also a free drinks counter, so help yourself to hot drinks and soft drinks, and the staff will come around to clean and discard the used cups.. There's also 2 hairdryers by the entrance.. 

Jacuzzi, shower and steam and sauna all in same place

There is a serious lack of photos online, so you just have to use your imagination as I narrate..

The wet area has 3 rows of open showers (pic above), then a small see-through sauna room in the middle, and far left is open shelving.. you can easily lose your own towel regardless which shelf you put.. at the end of the area is the jacuzzi and L-shaped steam room..

The basement where the rooms are

One more floor down to the basement, now this was an old karaoke joint which they have converted to become sauna, so that explains the plentiful of rooms.. and dark rooms (which used to be VIP rooms I guess judging from the size)..

That's where most action is.. and that's where my favourite place is...

In fact I spent the whole night down here.. first off I had a guy who's so into me, and he's got very nice body and cock.. so we went to one corner and started kissing and fondling.. I really do not know how people see one another inside, as it's completely dark even if you been inside there a while..

After a while, we parted ways, and I went back up to shower and freshen up before returning..

When I re-enter, the same guy caught hold of me, I felt him up and down and recognise his body.. so we just continue where we left off earlier on..

He tried to fuck me, but I guess I was too tight for him, so in the end he gave up when he wasn't hard enough.. he's of average size, similar to myself.. but he did not want to share me and snapped off other wandering hands..

We found a sweet corner and continue our rendezvous kissing and fondling in the midst of all the others fucking and moaning, it's really too dark in there to tell who is who.. he also did not attempt to fuck me again.. I guessed his ego was bruised >.<

We spent like another 2 hours just small talks and chat in between the kisses and oral.. he wasn't keen to keep in touch, which I totally respect, as people just want to come and let off steam with no strings attached..

This is probably the first sauna experience for me in the sense that all we do was just talk and then cummed..

I had him cummed all over me.. I think I kinda like it when tops cummed on me.. opps..

Then I cleaned up and left.. it wasn't early anymore so I just grabbed something to eat on my way back and called it a night..

My recommendation: Soi13in is really the sauna you should visit.. It's not expensive, in fact it's so much cheaper than the other one that starts with A.. but go with an open mind, it's really a place for everybody and everyone so be nice, and you are surely someone's cup of tea for fun..

Cheers..

I went back again to XL Club on the 4th day, spending longer time working out naked and enjoying myself in the steam room...

Day 2: XL Club

Day 2 of my Taipei holiday, Saturday 21 July.

I woke up around noon as it was raining very heavily in the morning, so I decided to just forego my plans to head to the beach and outskirts, and slept in..

Hungriness soon struck me.. I got dressed and went out to get food, fortunately the next road outside the metro stations are plenty of restaurants.. I opted for MOS Burger as I really like it a lot.. Further up the road are some Japanese restaurant which I did not bother..

I only have MOS Burger a few times

After satisfying the stomach, I head out to one of the "Zhongxiao" stops and shop around a bit.. it was still drizzling, but since most are indoors and underground, it's pretty alright.. I bought a few clothes here and there..

Come evening when the rain finally stop, I decided to go to XL Club..

So back on the metro and headed off to Yuanshan Station.. from here it's just a slow 10 minutes walk..

The shortest route is actually cutting through Expo Dome and then walk alongside Maji Square and the foodcourt.. You will then come to the intersection, choose however way you want to cross, you will see Cava Bookstores and 7-11 at the intersection,.. walk towards 7-11 and down the road till you see a sports shop..

The entrance to XL Club is right in the middle of the sports shop..

Ok so I went in and up.. to the 3rd floor where you take off your shoes and put in plastic bag and carry it into the club..

Upon reaching 4th floor, you will be greeted at the bar where you pay the entrance, and a deposit..


Entry Fees
Weekdays is NT$200 and NT$100 refundable deposit
Weekends is NT$250 and NT$100 refundable deposit

You will be given a padlock and key, and a small towel.. Supplies and lube is provided in the lockers area in a large tub, feel free to help yourself..

The Place
I'll start off by giving you a brief idea of the layout.. As you enter, there is the bar counter.. to the right is the lounge, tanning machine and a toilet.. to the left is the lockers..

The upper floor is the sundeck for nude sunbathing, unfortunately since it was raining, the place wasn't open so yeah, I didn't get to check it out on the first visit (second visit was late at night, so again, no sun)

Undress yourself here.. The gym is on the floor below through a narrow staircase at the end of the lockers, although the gym is marked as "clothing optional gym", people here mostly workout in their underwear.. I chose not to get my underwear wet by sweat so I went all naked.. It really is a different feeling to workout naked (not that I've never done so, but it's Taiwan!)

Then we come to the cabins and dark room.. Well not really that dark if you ask me, as lights still can come in from outside, and a few mattress here for you to lie down and chill.. the cabins next to the dark room has glory holes big enough to put your butt through.. Rarely are there actions here in dark room..

Next is the showers, there's 3 open showers here and open shelving to put your towel.. note that you better have your towel marked with something or else it will surely go missing, especially if your towel is dry (you can always exchange for another towel at the counter, one for one)..

Last but not least, the steam room.. not very big, probably 2m x 2m and a curtain in the middle.. but here's where all the actions are.. groping, sucking, kissing, fucking, for all to see..

Don't be shy, because if you are shy, you will not hit home run, and will be ignored.. The boys here need a little warm up, start by touching and once they got interested, you'll score big..

I was like the only foreigner there and they can sniff out my mandarin accent, but that didn't stop them from playing with me.. Awww Taiwanese boys... so cute..


The Crowd
Like most review will say, I agree.. XL Club is for the fitness conscious and good looking crowd.. I would say, above average..

I went to XL Club twice, and I proved this right.. on both times I was there, the crowd comprises of those who are gym fit or lean.. This is definitely not the place for bears, I guess (as bears have their place).


My Visit
I went on the Saturday evening and the next visit was on Monday night..

So like everyone else, I workout naked in the gym.. Someone (mid 40s, lean) was clearly interested, he was wearing swim trunks (my goodness please) and while I was working out using the bench press, he came over and stood over my groin.. pretending to support me, while caressing my body and nipple..

It get me hard right away and he chose to ignore it.. Damn.. but blood only can go to one place, either my cock or my heart which I needed to lift the bar.. so I was in and out of hardness!

In between my sets, he sat behind me and massaged my chest and back.. We had a little conversation and some blowjob before he said he had to leave..

Time check? About 6pm..

I still have an hour plus or so before meeting my friend for dinner back in the city.. So I wrapped up my workout and head to the showers and steam room, alternating between the steam room and the dark room to cool down..

So in the steam room, it's rather steamy hot in there, both hot in terms of the steam and the moans you can hear, and see who's who because of the light from outside..

I'd say Taiwanese boys here are shy in the beginning but once the hands start groping around, they eagerly and willingly participate and join in..

At one point we were having some kind of orgy like 6 or so, sucking kissing, caressing, jerking off.. As the steam room isnt very big, I reckon it can fit like 8 or 10 people max with one side where the steam outlet is, nobody in the right mind wants to be near it.. to have everyone in the corner behind the curtain is just packed hot and don't forget you still need to breathe!

So we took turns blowing each other, licking nipples and body rubbing and groping.. it was really fun..

People come and go to go outside to cool down and hose down.. Me too as well, took a few rests in between when the heat inside gets too intense..

So when I finally had to leave, I went back inside and immediately someone came over and pulled me aside, we kissed, licked, he went down on his knees and gave an intensive blowjob, and I returned the favour, and some other guys joined in as well, and I cummed when someone was sucking me inside there.. He swallowed it all, and then left..

One hot guy (when I say hot, I mean really hot) then came over and continue to suck me and swallowed whatever remains of my cum.. I had to whisper in his ear that I have none left, and the look in his eyes like very disappointed.. ahh, I could have saved the best for last for him.. 

Then I went to shower and clean myself up, to my surprised, this guy followed me out too and came over and kissed me in the shower area before he goes back into the steam room.. I guessed that was his way of saying bye..

When I was done, I didn't see him around so I guessed he must be busy inside the steam room..

So I got dressed and left and went back into the city to meet my friend for dinner, and some drinks at Cafe Dalida in Ximen Red House..

As the night was still young (9pm ish), my friend took me to Commander D!

O-M-G..


Till next blog post.. about Commander D..
(if you do not yet know, Commander D is a BDSM fetish underground bar. I shall write about my experience that night.... )

Taiwan Holiday

Booked my trip in March for a short break as I will not have another break till year end.. Despite many cautioned against going Taiwan in July due to the summer heat, I was like, "ok bring it on", boy was I wrong!

It was scorching hot! 

No joke!

I flew in on Friday on Malaysia Airlines Flight 366, despite a slight delay, the flight landed on time through a turbulent flight (must be from the tail of the typhoon).. I took a chance and did not pre-assigned my seat, luckily got a good aisle seat 8C, despite row 8 does not have a window at 8A!

Yeah I was this bored I imagined there was a window

On the flight, I watched Isle of Dog, god damn it was such a boring movie I fell asleep right away.. I did not know what the movie was about, all I know is, it's like dogs vs human in a very monotonous dialogue between a dog and his master.. no doubt there's some funny and stupid scenes, but not enough to keep me awake.. Thank goodness I didn't watch it in the cinema..

Yawn

Then it came to food, not a lot a choice: nasi lemak or yongtaufoo.. I did not want to take any chances with MH spicy food so I opt for yongtaufoo instead..

Yongtaufoo breakfast

Upon reaching Taoyuan, my bag arrived before I cleared immigration, hence it was quite quick for me to move along..

I have prebought the airport MRT token through Klook (as it was slightly cheaper than it is to buy at the airport) and I have some agent discount through Klook as well.. If you don't buy the token, you can also use your Easycard to pay for the fare..

Well I could have used any sites to buy but I don't have the time to log in and search each one, so I just look into one, compare it against the fare if purchased at the airport, as long as the total comes to be cheaper, I'm good to go.. Nothing to lose..

Airport MRT route

Airport MRT token.
It can be used any day once bought, as each token is a single journey (you need to decide from where to where)

A one way journey from Taoyuan to Taipei Main Station is NT$160 and takes approximately 40 minutes, including walking from airport to platform (and vice versa).. it's a long walk..

He left a welcome note

Oh ya, I stayed in a place booked from misterbandb.com very last minute (in fact just about 2 weeks before my trip) and the host kept asking me if I am sure I wanted to stay there due to the distance away from downtown.. Since I don't mind sharing a place with the host, I chose his place. As he's currently away in Mexico, we arranged for the keys and he taught me how to go to his place, how to get the keys.. If he is around, he would have met me by the door (or at least that's how I imagined it to be hahhahahaaaa)

I said I don't mind really, as long as it's near the metro I'm all good.. True enough, his place is just next road from the metro, a slow 5 minutes leisure stroll away along a nice small park.. And it has a private hotsprings tub that's big enough for a few guys, I reckon, measuring myself in it..

The total journey from airport to his place in Xinbeitou involved 2 transfer: one at transfer in Taipei Main Station and another transfer in Beitou, and takes roughly 1 hour 40 minutes..

Well, it did rain 2 whole days on Saturday and Sunday and it just spoiled all my plans.. It was not a heavy one, just light drizzle that just irritatingly won't stop until the sunsets (there goes the beach and pool and nude sunbathing plans *shucks*).. It only stopped at night, making the night quite cool..

I was already sweating the moment I stepped out of the room and walk 20 metres to the lift..

It takes about 15 minutes to fill up the tub, I reckon it can fit 3-4 guys of my size comfortably

After settling down, I took the train to the other end of the Tamsui-Xinyi line to Xiangshan Station and hike up 15 minutes to the first lookout point, overlooking Taipei city..

The amount of people here is just painstakingly annoying..

All drenched in sweat, from the hiking actually.. see how my clothes stuck to my chest..

Coming down from Xiangshan, I walked to Taipei 101 for some free aircond to cool down, and then take the metro to Shilin to grab something to eat.. with my limited Mandarin, I think I did pretty good, ordering dinner and taking away food to bring back to eat..


Next, do you want to know which saunas I went to in this Taipei trip? I went to 2, and over next 3 days 
Stay tune!

Dilemmas

I have a lot of things I want to rant about these days..

Sometimes I am like what-the-fuck, and I stopped giving fucks.. One part of me is like "whatever shit I don't fucking care anymore" but another part of me is like "but it bothers me so much".. you know what I mean?

I'm talking about life, about work, about people in general..

I'm so tired sometimes.. Like what's the point to it all.. I felt like I'm at a crossroad dilemma, die if I go on, die if I don't.. They say passion don't pay bills, but passion makes you want to go to work each day..

The passion is still there, however I am just not feeling productive anymore.. Each day I wonder what else could I be doing since it's the same shit different day..

---

Then, I've been thinking long and hard about this ex-date from years ago whom I used to date for quite a while.. we were good but we were not boyfriends.. I walked away because he wasn't comfortable being himself and wasn't comfortable being gay, and to be seen in public with me.. It's as though he's ashamed to be seen in public with me.. He would always act like we're strangers if he happens to bump into familiar faces.. I can't take that.. I want no pretensions whether at home or outside, I want to know it's the same person I'm dating regardless where we were..

Then he bought a new house and moved in, I helped him picked some of his furnitures and fittings, go to expo after expo, but I didn't feel like I have a place in his life.. helping him set up his home opened up my eyes a little bit more, that it was obvious that there's no us in the future..

But the thought came about as I seek closures.. I want to know if the spark is still there.. I want to know if he has changed any bit or is he more comfortable with himself now..

I did a little Twitter poll.. and at press time, more "no" than "yes".. more people polled no I should just let it be bygones..

But I want to know if ever there's any possibilities of getting back together provided he's more comfortable now, after all, it was me who walked away..

....

Then on the other hand, something good in the meantime, my parents paid the balance of my home loan.. I've been going to the bank and lawyer's office to get the documents in order.. with the mortgage finally out of the mind, I can fully focus on getting my finances in order.. my car loan is ending in 2 months as I have paid months in advance.. and lastly would be the credit cards which I am planning to axe..

I have also submitted application already of a second property on the edge of Mont Kiara, but I did not get the ballotting.. not sure if there's any units left now.. My parents have promised they will help me with the downpayment if I successfully get a unit, but the property would require a bigger financial commitment which I seriously don't think my current pay can support..

Which led me to the first dilemma above..

---

I've also seriously considering entering the family business but that would require me to relocate, which I am not ready.. I have the free will and option to join whenever and if I want to.. younger me wasn't interested at all, but the older me is telling me to seriously consider that option.. my parents only joined after retirement from their career! So I could do the same too twenty thirty years later.. There left my brother and I being the male descendants, my brother has indicated he's not keen and went on to take up permanent residency in a foreign country with no intention to return.. and that leaves me.. so I was made a director so that my name is up there alongside with my male cousins as the third generation heir..

Taking an active role in the company would meant an express route to financial freedom, but at the expense of family drama and politics - which I strongly hate.. maybe things will change twenty thirty years later when I have nothing else to do.. or if I am still alive..

---

So yaa sometimes I just wish to go home and lock myself at home and just scream, FUCK YA ALL!!!

Shameless photos

Was on a working vacation to Club Med Bali recently, and in the midst of all the working and gathering information, there's also personal time to enjoy the resorts.. and take some shameless photos.. decent one that is..

I mean there's also uncensored ones, but I shall keep that for another time..

So enjoy..
