Australia Trip (Part 3)

So the main reason why I was in Gold Coast was actually for Corroboree Asia 2018.. It is an event organised and hosted by Tourism Australia, Singapore Airlines and Tourism and Events Queensland. About a hundred suppliers and operators from Queensland and Australia come together under one roof and paid good money to be there to meet with 296 Aussie Specialist agents from Asia..

CA18 was held in Gold Coast this year for 3 days, and in between that, 1 pre-day of Gold Coast familiarisation tour, and followed by a week of travelling around Australia where 296 people were split into about 20 groups..

I was put together with the Singapore group and we toured central Queensland, from Gold Coast to the north towards Hervey Bay before making our way back to Brisbane at the end of the tour..

This is probably the one trip I have been waiting all my 6 years plus working here.. Like I said, chances was always passed by me and I did not get the chance to go to any trips of this kind, if not for someone who had to give up their seat that I can get to go..

I have worked all my years here in Holiday Tours for trips like this.. now that I have had this opportunity, I made good use to it..

I just had to have a picture with her, the marketing manager of Village Theme Parks who
coincidently sponsored my themepark tickets back in 2014 on my personal holiday

I like meerkats now hahaha

We binge drink whenever there's chance and time, even DURING the expo

One of the best people I work with, the marketing manager of Bunyip Tours Melbourne.
She sponsored some tours for me back in 2014 on my personal holiday, and 4 years later, we met for the first time in
Gold Coast and how lovely it is to meet after all these years doing business and forging the relationship.

I can say, it's personal relationship like this, that I can get things done with Australian operators that had it been other people, I really doubt if it would be so easy as I would have it.. Just one phone call to Australia it's all it takes..

My advise is: forge personal relationships with people you deal with, so that one day you need help, they will remember you for who you are as a person, not for the job you have..

At one of the nights, we were treated to dinner in Miami Marketta, it's an open concept street food serving a wide range of international servings..

Closing ceremony at Southport Yatch Club, and here me and my Malaysian and Indonesian friends..

The best people I hang out with in Gold Coast.. 

POSER!!!

It's not E*********** haha just a random yatch..

We celebrated National Day in Gold Coast over some drinks at at 12am Gold Coast time, we posed for this picture and send it back to Malaysia (10pm).. Just to make a statement that wherever we go, we are proud to be Malaysians and will fly our flag proud, we are Anak Malaysia!

I will cherish trips like this.. and the friendships I've made during the trip..

Australia Working Trip (Part 2)

The official hotel is Watermark Hotel & Spa Gold Coast (this hotel has now changed ownership and name change to Voco Hotel and under the IHG Group).. Upon arrival into the hotel, we checked in and have lunch in the buffet restaurant.

After lunch, its free time to explore Gold Coast.. As this was my 3rd time in Gold Coast, there's little for me to do, so I suggested to my new friends that we go shopping in Harbourtown.. By public transport it would have taken more than a hour, so we opted to share UBER instead for around AUD30, as we only have a few hours and needed to be back in Gold Coast for the official dinner..

The next day is our familiarisation trip in Gold Coast, we were brought to the Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre to learn about the aboriginal trip, and then some fun time..

I tried stand-up paddle boating as it is something I have not done before.. Turns out it's so much easier than surfing, and balance isn't a problem..

How many shots needed to catch the one with everyone timed perfectly

In the evening, it was the official welcoming ceremony held at Sea World.. We were treated to a sumptuous spread of seafood buffet and free tokens to play games.. I won myself a shark soft toy...

I have a lot of wine and champagne throughout the night as well as the entire 2 weeks in Australia

Australia Working Trip (Part 1)

Now only I have the time to really sit down and sort my writing out..

Exactly a month ago, I went to Australia a 2 weeks fully sponsored all-expenses paid working trip.. The trip was for Corroboree Asia 2018 fully hosted by Tourism Australia with the respective state tourism organisation.. 

300 delegates from all across Asia descended on the Gold Coast for the formal events, and then break up into smaller groups of about 10 pax each for a week of adventure and tours around Australia.. 

This is the one trip I have been waiting for almost 7 years, as an Aussie Specialist, because spaces are so limited and also, I would not get any chance on going for hosted or even working trips (this has more to do with internal issues which I shall not say further, only when nobody want to go then that's my opportunity, it's the same as for this also, someone else passed up their coveted seat, and then the opportunity only came to me, which is by-the-way!).

Anyway, Singapore Airlines & Virgin Australia were the official airlines, for my itinerary I only get to try Singapore Airlines from Kuala Lumpur to Brisbane and back..

Singapore Airlines has also given all Malaysian delegates Silverkris Lounge access at KLIA and Penang International Airport being the departing cities, and transitting in Changi Airport on Singapore Airlines, each passengers can claim Changi Airport SGD20 shopping voucher.. 

With my boarding passes modelling outside Silverkris Lounge

Once checked in, we proceeded to the Silverkris Lounge.. It is not a very big lounge, probably just enough capacity for 30 pax or so, with 2 counter tables and a few sofas.. Our delegation from KL is about 

The entire line of alcoholic and non-alcoholic and some food 

The Kuala Lumpur (and surroundings) delegation in the lounge before our departure

Singapore Airlines uses the A350 for the SQ119 Kuala Lumpur-Singapore flight, and also on SQ255 Singapore-Brisbane.. Awesome aircraft, quiet and top notch, with LED touch-screen monitors and ambient mood lighting.. It also has WIFI on board but sibeh expensive shit...

Singapore Airlines uses A350 aircraft for this leg Kuala Lumpur-Singapore, and also uses only A350 for Singapore-Brisbane route

Economy class

My seat

The legroom is generous, as you can see, that's me, on my normal seating position.. It also have footrest, something I do appreciate so that I don't have to rest my feet on the floor or on the bag.. 

Second leg, Singapore-Brisbane

Arriving Brisbane

All economy class passengers also get a toiletries amenities kit

All economy class passengers also get hot towels before each meal service

Landed in Brisbane the next morning around 10.30am..

**New update: Malaysian passports can use the autogates in major Australian airports**
**Visa: Australia have been known to deny entry even to those holding valid visa, but do ensure you have the CORRECT visa! **


Welcome sign at the airport gate to welcome the delegates!

Arriving in to Brisbane, welcome signage at the airport to welcome us delegates

After arrival, we were sent to the hotel to check in and then for lunch, and after that, it's free and easy..

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.... )
