My father is 64 and he has been dating a 21 year old Indonesian girl for a couple of years,they have a one year old daughter together. She wasn't a pro either. Dirty old perv! He is now in the process of setting up a bar over there on a tropical island. The guy has styled his retirement right out.
Expand on his story. What was his background, how did he make his way there, how does he like the life there. As I assume he is UK, why not EE/FSU or LatAm? Downsides? Stories like this are important - most of you will make it to 64. Will you be old, fat, angry guys bitching about life in your home country or "opting out" as this guy did? I just returned from a family gathering in the US Pacific Northwest. A week on a sailboat visiting expensive marinas - filled with prosperous Amerikan couples. Almost to a "T", they are doughy rich guys looking bored with their fat wives and spoiled-bored kids. All living "responsible", "productive",
"acceptable" lives in the hyper-connected, big-box, fast-food cancer called the
United States. (after writing the last two sentences....it's hard to believe that readers bitch about Argentina......)
I went out to Indonesia with my old man to explore the idea of investing in a
business over there. Whilst in a bar in Jakarta we met a guy who told us about the island of Belitung and how nice it was so the next day we flew out there for a look. We went to a cafe there,got talking to the young waitresses ( through sign language and pidgin English ) and they offered to show us their island on their
scooters. So off we set and well,as happens in Indonesia we took them back to the hotel that evening and banged them. He was never the same after that. He'd never traveled to Asia before so the idea that at 60 something he could bang a 19 year old blew him away. He was hooked. Problem was that back home in England he had a misses who he'd been with the last 20 years. On the flight back to London we had this discussion about his future: did he want to spend the rest of his life living with a woman he loved but was no longer attracted to,just living out his days in boredom waiting to die OR did he want to have a last adventure and go out with a bang by moving to Indonesia,building a house on a tropical island and banging teenagers until his dying day? Well my father is an Alpha fucker I'll give him that and he did what we all should do but few would. He came out and told
his misses that he was off to Indonesia,thanks for the last 20 years but life in suburbia wasn't for him. Of course a massive shit storm went down but my father didn't care as he was in his way to Indonesia,the fucker styled it out.
Now he's over in Indonesia on Belitung,he's shacked up with that young waitress and has a kid ( my half sister )with her but he has others on the go. Thank fuck for Viagra he says. He's built a little house on the beach and is now building a bar where he will see out his days drinking with the other foreigners who live on the island. Just shows you that it's never too late to say "fuck it,I want more from life then this".
