I cannot believe this, I was there about 23 years ago....

No, It was 23 years ago, the Canadian interest rate was 21%.  I was working in Singapore in a construction site, to erect a six stories factory. It so happened, my counter part, also a Hong Kong worker educated in Canada.  He told there is an island that have pigs with hooves.   This is a great opportunity, we can export pork to sell to the Jews.

Anyway, I took my first ever ride on a Hydrofoil to Batam.  I remember, my friend told me to follow him, I dropped $10 local currency, we just walked past the custom officers.   No questions were asked.

We checked in a "place".  The owner was delighted I am a Canadian, he never seen a Canadian passport  before.  The is no running water, he showered with water in a sump, collected with bamboo pipeline.

That night, we met a contractor our job site. He took us to a beach restaurant, amazing seafood, gray fish and fresh fish for dinner.  The whiskey was cheap.  It was surprising that in a Muslin country, one can enjoy excellent whiskey at very low prices.  I was drunk, very drunk......

I remembered, we hired a taxi to go up the mountain.  By the way, the contractor brought a young Local man with us.  We went up and went down, I sew a few log houses within a compound.  I believe, there were armed guards outside the compound.

I don't how we selected this particular log house, it got at least 50 rooms on each side, the rooms are opened on the top with partition walls between them.  My friend told me, I can go inside talk to the girls in the the room, as long as there are no sandals in front of it (i.e. she is not busy).

The rooms are small, bright clean and airy.  I was total hammered by now.  I don't know how I selected this young girl about 18-17 years old, how the transaction was done. I remembered the girl left the room, I assumed she took a shower, and my friend handed me a condom.  

She returned, I put on the condom, and went at it.  I recalled she wasn't very friendly, maybe, I was too drank...I didn't the enjoy the session at all. I was told later that these girls do not like the clients to use condoms....

As I was leaving, I noticed the young local man was very happy and his girl was very receptive to this young men. I  bet you this guy did not use a condom.

There was a cab waiting for us, we returned to the "Place".  

In closing, I noticed the young local men have no jobs. They just stand and chat all days. I guess the local girls have a make a living.

I never return again. It maybe 25 years ago, right after University.

Why screw up a good system?   I do hope the girls are using a condoms..
