Pink Tulip hotel?

A Vietnamese-American business man, visiting Saigon from the US, was seated in the lobby of his 5 star hotel, just by chance in the vicinity of a working girl. She offered to go up to his room with him in exchange for a bottle of the after-shave he was wearing.

So true.

Back in January I gave my favourite guy a bottle of Bulgari Extreme eau de toilette and he was over the moon - absolutely thrilled! On a previous trip I had a bottle in the bathroom and he had asked me if he could squirt some on. He really loved it, but I didn't give it to him as it was almost empty.

And this April trip I bought him another bottle of EDT; this time it was a different brand. I just love it when I see the guys' eyes light up! I gave it as a present, not a tip or in lieu of money.

One of the boys in the bar has a birthday coming up. As I'll be back in Bangkok then, I asked him what he would like as a present. Knowing I buy this stuff for one of my boys, he immediately said he'd like a bottle of Calvin Klein EDT.

Done!

So now I've found a go-to present the guys really appreciate.
