Reading charlie's journal

A few days ago one of the other English teachers asked me if I wanted to go out for dinner after work with him and the gym teacher. When you`re newly a foreigner, you never turn down an invitation. So of course I went.

As it turned out, we went to a snack bar. We sat down, were given some snacks, then each of us was given a companion. A beautiful woman in a small black dress with a long slit. We also paid for their drinks, smokes and snacks. As it turns out mine spoke English and in fact she had been a student at our school 5 years proir. She and I are the same age. Besides serving us food and alcohol, we also sang karaoke.

At first I tried the stealthy moving closer hand approach and the slowly up arm behind back approach. But my companion took no advances. So at about this time I started watching my co-workers and realized that they were being complete gentleman - besides the fact that they did not avert their gaze. At the end of the night, they accompanied us to the door, and then took the next waiting customers.

So really, we went to a restaurant where the establishment supplies the dates. As odd as it sounds culturally, I think this would be a great thing for other countries to implement.

Imagine all the lonely men (and women, they also have these establishments for women customers although that is rarer) who cannot seem to get a date and hence have poor self esteem. But they have plenty of money. This could be a great way to improve people`s view of themselves. And it isn`t prostitution, I think.
