Thinking of taking a vacation...

To this place: http://www.harbin.org/


Though I don't really see too many people my age there....


Advice?


I've been talking to a girl off and on, and she said she wanted to check this place out... Figure it can't really hurt, and might actually be fun.

Looks like mixed reviews. Quite a few positives, some not so much so

Quote:
I came here on a Tuesday with a friend of mine, so I think I avoided the huge crowds that some people have experienced. In a nutshell:

1. Guys are creepy. It's actually only the older men, I found the younger dudes to be much more respectful. But the older ones stare at every nude woman who gets in and out of the pool and at times got a little too close for comfort. They also seem to deliberately position themselves next to nude women when lounging on the deck.

2. Some couples get too hot and heavy in the pools. I asked for a hot spring, not a semen bath, k thx.

3. I'm not interested in seeing people do naked yoga. I'm a polyamorous, liberal Californian and I still don't like seeing va-jay-jay splayed out in front of me.

4. Property is gorgeous. I saw a deer munching on a bush right next to the road leading to the pools! Also there is an awesome, friendly cat that roams around.

5. Of the pools, only the hot, hot pool and the outdoor cold pool seemed sanitary. Fortunately, those were the two kinds I wanted to experience most.

In sum: 50% relaxing, 50% meat market.

You're into all the New Age stuff. Meditation. Yoga. Clearing your mind of material desires and possessiveness. You eschew the "desire to acquire". You're into letting go of your image consciousness and melding into the everpresent NOW of existence. What could possibly go wrong??

this won't work for a guy who can't stay faithful to a car for more than two weeks.
Waste of time.

Looks beautiful though, but I doubt an automotive consumers consumer will enjoy it that much.
Plus, it has been my experience that when it comes to clothing optional situations, for every hot chick, there are 35 hideous people who also dislike clothing

Any place is just what you make of it. Got pics of the girl?

According to one of the reviews mentioned above, there's a meat market. So at least you might get a good ribeye. There's that.

One thing I learned about nudists- Take a look at the people around you. Now get rid of all the ones you want to see naked, the rest are what you would see naked in a nudist situation.

I think you should go. Looking at old, fat, naked people will probably make you take better care of yourself.

The picture on the front web page (one of the ones that cycles through) of the yoga type exercises with the big wooden vaulted ceiling says it all to me =>

It's just a big guff funnel.

Go to South Beach (Miami). Plenty of topless Euro babes and if you're a good lookin, smooth talker-- easy to score.
