Hi guys,

This isn't a trip report proper - yet. I intend to add details here as I get time. After my trip I'll do a proper report.

Right now all my free time is needed to find another room for tonight. I got a very good deal using hotels.com for one night at the B P International. It's very near to Jordan MTR. At $110CDN including service/taxes I could stomach staying there. Unfortunately they could/would not match the price I'd gotten from hotels.com - just 24 hrs prior to landing here.

Another night would be about $175CDN but I can't stomach that. It's kind of silly that I can't cause I paid a girl $234CDN ($1800HKD) for just three hours. I know. I know. I overpaid. I HAD to have her though. Looking at her pictures on www.sex141.com was what motivated me most to pull the trigger - or click the button - and book a Cathay Pacific flight.

I'm experienced enough that I would not have been surprised by a bait and switch. I figured though, what with so many photos that show her face, that maybe, just maybe, she'd really show.

Fellas... she did - or a close cousin. Let me tell you that she was pretty much flawless. Sadly though, only pleasantly or sweetly professional. Perfect for you love-em-and-leave-am types. I need more so I can't say I really got my money's worth.

I'll elaborate a bit more about her and her service later. For now I really have to find another hotel.

I will say about her tits: they are to die for. Or if you're a woman - you're not a woman are you? - to kill for to get them. Large yet oh so nice. You squeeze them and they squeeze back. I tried titty fucking them but by then in the session I was just too tired - being jet lagged and such.

Her profile should work right now so here's a link to it:

http://www.sex141.com/en/viewid.php?uid=9629&region=11&building=-1&territory=-1&age=-1&bsize=-1&height=-1&service=-1&nationality=&stype=-1&pd=-1&keyword=

Later on, when she's gone, I'll post the pics I saved from the profile. (I didn't take my own. She wasn't keen on it and I didn't really see the need).

Later...

Hey I just learned that you can send SMS messages via Skype. I'll get them whenever I log onto the internet.

Do you speak Mandarin or Cantonese?

I always thought the "Hotel Reservation" ladies on Sex141 required the local language to arrange a date. Or was there someone who spoke English available when you called the number?

(Message edited by xenono on October 19, 2010)

Xenono,

I don't speak either. I was learning basic Mandarin; greetings and such, but I found out when I got here it's Cantonese I should be learning. Mandarin is mainland China and Taiwan. (I know you probably already know that but for anyone else that's reading and didn't know it, well, now you do).

When I called her it was late at night and only the night clerk was at reception. I was going to get him to call for me but, fortunately there was a papasan that spoke passable English. Normally I'd want to speak directly to the girl, and cut out the middle man/woman, but I was glad to here his voice when I called.

I found a decent room for tonight. $962HKD all-in; $130CDN. The actually have free WiFi in the rooms. If last night's higher end hotel is any indication, the more you pay per night the less you get for free. B P International, which I got for about $80HKD through hotels.com, charges $50HKD for 4 hours usage - but you have to use it all at once cause once you start the time runs out even if you only use it one minute.

Spicy is my target for tonight but I think I'll do her in the hotel she's at - if it's clean. You'll find her listed near the same station as Shana.

Later...

Gotta go.

This is Spicy's page:

She's a beauty for sure.

If possible, could you get some pics so we could compare your pics to the pics of the girls web pics, thanks.

Enjoy your time in Aisa.

I have a 22 hour connection in HK on my way home next month.

Shana is fantastic. What was the rate you were quoted? You said 1800 for 3 hours. The web page says 800 is her standard rate, which has been 30-60 minutes in my previous 141 experiences.

Jimmydr,

With a 22 hour connection I would say don't waste your time with the sex141 girls that are in Walkups. From the few I've seen they are hard to find; in run down buildings; and you don't know what you're going to find when the girl opens the door. Sure you might have seen her probably accurate face shots on 141 but will that girl be there when you are?

What I suggest is focus on the Hotel Appointment girls, who's face you can see online, and either find out where she is or call her to your hotel. (Ask a hotel staff member to call if you can't speak Cantonese).

If she's 800HKD in her hotel, which is probably nice, based on the one BigF had last night, it'll be about 100HKD more to have her come to you.

So far I'm two for two for having the girl's face match the pictures.

BTW the papasan that sent me Shana spoke decent English.

Murasaki,

That same papasan was a tough negotiator for the "all night" price. Then once Shana got to me she said she couldn't stay till 10AM (it was 02:30 at the time) but only 8:30AM. Even so he wouldn't go below $2050HKD. She and I ultimately agreed to $1800HKD till 7:00 but at 6:00 she really wanted to leave - for the same $1800HKD.

I held firm that she'd stay till 7:00 or take $1600 to leave then. Once she figured out I was serious she accepted.

You could tell she was a bit pissed off that I, in her mind, beat her down on the price. Still she was sweet in many ways; sucked pretty good; was a vision to behold; and tight. (So was BigF).

BTW to negotiate price we used pen and paper.

On a VERY personal note: I have trouble every time with my little friend. He's very keen on the blow job, perks right up for that. By the time the condom goes on he loses interest and so I don't get much actual fucking.

I am admitting this only to explain why I envy the love-em-and-leave-em types that don't care about any "connection" - except the one between their cock and her pussy. Her so nice pussy - with only light, soft hair.

Sigh! I'm "only" 50 for crying out loud.

Oh yeah, this is BigF - in case I didn't link earlier:

http://www.sex141.com/en/viewid.php?uid=10202&region=-1&building=-1&territory=-1&age=-1&bsize=3&height=-1&service=-1&nationality=&stype=1&pd=-1&keyword=

Gotta go...

Big F is another nice one. I am curious - did either of these girls kiss at all? How were they about you sucking the nipples or going down on them? Some Chinese girls, especially in HK and Macau, can be very difficult about such basic things.

Sounds like it's time for some Viagra or Cialis!

Hmmm, I just checked out the 141 links posted here. We seem to have similar tastes, might be tough to be wingmen. I love petite asian girls with oversize tits!

I think looking for some GFE and more rounded experience with 141 girls is gonna be tough. I already PM'ed CC with my same opinion. If you want to bang pretty chinese girls and you have the time, get a visa and took the easy short trip to Chang Ping or Chang An.

CC is spending 2800 HKD dollars for his hotel room and a short long-time (a new oxymoron?, that's 2500 Yuan. In CP you could stay at a really nice 4* hotel (free in room high speed internet and breakfast) like Hui Hua 400 RMB, Take a sexy sauna/soapie with a hottie that give multiple pops 600 RMB, Then go to a KTV to party 7PM- midnight 350, sit two girls to party with, and take one home for a true LT (200 RMB to girl just sitting and 800 for the take home) and still have enough left over for a two-hour footie massage.

IMHO, worth the extra planning and hassle of getting the VISA.

Regarding language, learning Mandarin is the way to go. Other than the older HK natives, all 30yo and under women (even in HK and Macau) speak at least passable Mandarin. Most of the 141 girls come from all over China. Given the relative prosperity in the Guangzhou area, I would think that few of those girls speak much Cantonese.

Well it has been a busy morning. I got to sleep at 5:00, cheating by using a Temazapam sleeping pill - which are excellente, and woke up at 9:00.

- showered; packed; took pictures of the hotel; checked out; left one bag in the lobby for safe keeping
- caught a free shuttle bus to Kowloon (Shopping Mall?) to apply, at China Travel, for a Visa for China
- realized I'd left the passport photo I brought from Canada, specifically for this purpose, in the bag back at the hotel
- took the MTR to Admiral(ty?) Station and used a photo booth to get new photos - for $40HKD. This was easier than returning to the hotel
- back to the agency to fill out the forms; while doing so I find out it's $1000HKD! (Yikes!); I console myself thinking of the money I'll be saving on hotel(s) and girls girls girls
- back to the desk to submit the app and I find out that since this is my first time entering China I can only get a one entry/exit Visa. Next time, if I still use the same passport, I'll be able to get a multiple entry Visa. That way I can stay in Shenzhen(?) and catch the train into Hong Kong for sight seeing for the day; then return to my nicer but cheaper hotel. Too bad my passport expires in Jan of 12 though.
- submitted app at 14:00 and was told it'll be ready same time tomorrow. They kept my passport to send to the bureaucrats.
- writing this while sitting comfortably in the Starbucks across from where I submitted the app - and near to a fully diamond or rhinestone covered Mercedes Benz convertible. Don't tell anyone but I touched the hold to sample the texture and the guard promptly, but politely, had me back away. Whew! I hope the Visa people don't get wind of my impertinence. I will post photos of it. Maybe. If you're lucky! ;)

Considering all of the above, with just four hours sleep for each of two nights since landing in Hong Kong jet lagged, it's a wonder I can think straight. Or maybe I can't but don't have the mental ability right now to tell the difference. Hmmm.

Right about now you're thinking "What about photos of the damn girls!?" Well, with Shana it was hardly necessary since her profile pics are accurate. With BigF, hmmm, she looks a bit better in those profile pics but still very nice in person. Turns out the 38F tetas have tiny silicone balls in them. (One in each; not many like a bean bag. Ha ha). She was fun; more-so than Shana who was merely sweetly pleasant - till I, in her mind, short changed her on the payment.

I did take a few photos of BigF. She at first refused but, at the end of our session, she opened her safe to put the $800HKD away; took out her camera and snapped a photo of me! (A bad one I might add. I don't like cameras pointed at me; might as well point a gun for the effect it has on me).

I'll write more about both Shana and BigF once I am settled in mainland China paying affordable prices for all the important things.

Ummm. I read all of what d'Artagnan wrote about his experiences in Hong Kong. I really wish I'd taken more seriously his warning not to land in Hong Kong with only one night, or none, paid for. (Why didn't you insist d'Artagnan!? Why? Why? Why? Ha ha).

Also I should have applied for the China Visa in Vancouver and waited a week to pick it up. It would have been cheaper, I think, and I'd have had more time to research where I was going to stay.

Ah well. Live and learn.

By the way I am writing this, as I said, in a Starbucks. However I am writing it in Notepad++ (NOT Windows Notepad) so that I can quickly paste it into the comment field here on CH. I only get 20 minutes free WiFi so writing this while connected was not an option. I won't know, until I log in, if any of you have asked questions or made comments that warrant a response. If you have I'll get to them when I am settled in somewhere with endless WiFi.

Notepad++ is better than Windows Notepad because it doesn't insert line breaks/carriage returns when copying and pasting into another program. The way I've typed it here should be exactly duplicated on CH. This is my first time doing this into CH though so if it messes it up like Notepad, well, forgive me if I don't tidy it up. I have other things to do with my 20 minutes.

Also I will not proof read for tidying up typos and such. Deal with it! Ha ha.

Later...

It's nearly 23:00 Wednesday night. Having settle in a not-so-low-rent guest house for the night (in Wan Chai) I ambled over to the bar area. On the way I had a great Thai Massage. Very relaxing. No happy ending expected or desired. $88HKD + $30 to the masseuse. (She did such a great job I was in danger of falling asleep).

At the moment I am about to eat a pizza at Amicis. It's above Mes Amis and has free WiFi with no password required. Probably you can pick it up on the street out front. In the long list of WiFi signals look for Amici.

Whoa! The 12 inch pizza just came and it really is 12 inches. (Wish other things were).

Walking over here I noted Amanda, a Philippina, outside a club kitty-corner to Amicis. She looks worth buying a lady drink for. Hope she's like the Philippina I bought for last night. She was real cute too and sat in my lap for more than twenty minutes tonguing me and encouraging me to feel her up.

Short time there would have been $1500HKD so I didn't partake. Also they quoted $3500 for overnight. Ha ha ha ha ha. No thanks.

After eating I'll enjoy the band at Escape. If it's the same as last night it'll be fantastic.

Tomorrow I pick up my Visa and head for Chang Ping. Will meet a friend of Mongerx's that night. (He arranged a room for me at the Miraton for $380RMD all-in. About $60USD I guess. Thanks Sam.

Next day I'll head to Chang An to hook up with Mongerx. We'll do two different KTV joints over two nights. He says he prefers Chang An to Ping cause the girls are wilder. That sounds good to me.

Now to catch up on questions asked earlier...

Fooledagain1:

I'll get pics when I can. Normally I wouldn't want to betray a trust and post them. Since the girls I saw showed their actual, 100% real faces on the sex141 site I don't see the harm in doing so.

I didn't get a pic of Shana. Rest assured that she is b e a u t i f u l! Only sweetly professional though.

I did snap pics of BigF. Wait. I already mentioned that. Will get around to posting them soon.

I'm sure her pics are real too but she looks a bit better in them than in person. She was more fun than Shana though. She asked why I wasn't married. I shrugged and said I was waiting for you; marry me.

She enthusiastically said YES in a way that seemed not jokingly. She's from mainland China so I guess her situation there isn't good. After all: she's 21 and I'm 50.

I wonder if she expected that enlarging her already ample breasts a bit would cause even more men to want to titty fuck them? Could be she didn't think things through eh?

Murasaki:

Neither Shana or BigF were keen on kissing. I didn't try with Shana but did with BigF. She allowed light pecking.

I went down on Shana and thought I was in for a treat when she started grinding against my tongue. After five minutes though she smiled and reached for a condom.

Before letting her put it on I had her suck me some bareback. She was pretty good that way and took me fairly deep. I've only 6 inches but experience tells me it's the thickness girls have trouble with.

BigF sucks well too. Without prompting she licked up and down and on down all over my balls. Shana didn't venture there unbidden and even when asked she barely made contact with her tongue. God she looked great down there though. When she smiles, what with that body of hers, she's as close to perfection as I ever expect to see.

I didn't go down on BigF. She said that was for her future husband to do.

Both girls allowed me to kiss and lick wherever I wanted.

(This pepperoni, green pepper, and pineapple pizza is yummy. Cost is $112HKD - plus 10% service fee of course).

I liked the nipples of both girls. I like the them only slightly darker than the surrounding skin and not protruding too high. Pencil eraser height works for me! Both girls, as I recall, fit the bill.

Regarding the "time for Viagra or Cialis comment: I used to prefer the long time effect of the latter but now like to buy generic Viagra instead. In Colombia I got it for $1 or $2 USD per pill. It seems it can't be had here. One pharmacist said the patent hasn't expired here yet. That must be true cause none have it.

Authentic V sells for $400HKD for 4 pills. That's only a bit less than what I'd pay in Canada. At least here I didn't need a prescription - except for one place that refused to sell it to me without one.

By the way guys: pharmacist shops are few and far between here. Natural remedy shops are plentiful. So if you're walking around and spot a pharmacy don't tell yourself "Ah I'll stop in another one on the way back to the hotel," Buy the V or C there and then.

As an aside I have to say how plentiful 711s are here. Without exaggeration there are areas where there's one in each block. I think all are open 24/7 too.

Segue99:

Thanks for the tip re learning Mandarin instead of Cantonese. If I figure on returning to Asia next year I'll start learning with Livemocha.com and Pimsleur CDs.

Now I want to talk a bit about safety in Hong Kong...

In my short experience, I'd say that probably your greatest and most immediate danger to life and limb is stepping in front of a car or, even worse, bus. Cause they all drive on the wrong side of the road!!!

You guys think I'm kidding about the danger aspect but I'm not. First or second day here I did step into traffic. Fortunately they were about twenty-five yards away, and accelerating, or I'd probably been seriously hurt or killed. I mean if I'd stepped out just as they were only yard away I doubt I'd be reporting on anything anymore.

If you still think I'm kidding you'll see I'm not when you get here - except you guys from Japan and the UK.

That reminds me that years ago a friend told me that, in the UK, they were going to switch to driving on the right (pun intended) side of the road. Yep. They were going to change the buses and trucks over first. If that went smoothly then they'd switch the cars.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Enough for now. I've barely touched my cold pizza.

Great reporting, CC, keep up the good work! I'm anxious for details of your unfolding adventures.

Condoms do the same thing to me now sometimes, after the PI.

And keep those busty beauties coming (pun intended). Like MX, we have the same tastes in women (I always defer to him/his choices when in wingman status, it's only reasonable considering all the help he's given me and fellow mongers).

If you ever get to Thailand, I suggest you stock up on the generic viagra there. It's quite cheap, ubiquitous, and real.

Your express (next day) visa for China is still cheaper than what it costs in the US doing it yourself at a consulate under normal conditions. So no sympathy here!

Hunterman,

I am glad you are enjoying my reporting. As I said at the start it's meant to be something like a thinking-out-loud journal; not a true guide type report. That's why there's no structure.

With enough encouragement - by PMs - I'd go to the trouble of doing up a proper one. If anyone does PM me requesting I do so please hold off sending until Nov 15th. By then I'll be back in Vancouver and have time to go through them. (I'm assuming I'll get a few requests but really, since there's no way to know how many of you are reading this, well, I don't know.

I'd like to think it's all the condom's fault but that's not the case. Either it's a physical problem or, more likely, since my ultimate turn on is a good/great blowjob (with CIM) I think I've fucked myself up so-to-speak.

I want to clear up why I brought up my size earlier in this thread. It wasn't to brag cause there's nothing to brag about. It was for context; to explain that, while girls have trouble taking me deep it's not due to length but width. Both Shana and BigF gave it a good try though. Shana more-so though I'd say.

The width is a curse cause every girl I've had since I started this hobby in 2005, about 100+ and counting, can't get the condom down to the base. So the extra time spent trying doesn't help the little guy stay interested.

Murasaki,

My itinerary is totally open so Bangkok is a strong possibility. I really really really really really want to experience those two hour soapy massage sessions.

Thanks for the tip! I'll certainly stock up on V while there.

Right now I'm in Kowloon Station at China Travel. Hopefully they have my Visa waiting for me. (Actually I'm in Starbucks waiting for one of the women to return with it).

Once it's in hand it's off to Chang An to meet some guy named Sam and party hearty.

Later...

I meant to post this before my last thread addition:

Man I just check out the details for the Miraton. What a difference in value!

http://www.havefuninchina.com/news.asp?menuid=12861&supmenuid=12858

I'll surely be able to relax paying just $60CDN for such luxury. Ahhhhhh.

Last post I mentioned I was off to Chang An to meet Sam. I had it backwards: I'm off to Chang Ping to meet him. (Got the Visa of course).

I'm writing this, in Notepad++, while on my final MTR ride, on the light blue line, from Hung Ham to Lo Wu. At Lo Wu I will catch an intercity train to Chang Ping. Two people on this train told me it's about 45 minutes to Low Wu. That puts me there at 14:45. Mongerx said there's a train at 14:47 and then 16:??. The first would get me to Chang Ping in time to meet Sam and head to the KTV with him. Obviously it's unlikely I'll make that train - unless its departure is delayed. (Fingers crossed).

If I miss it I'll either check out a sauna or sight see. Or both. Hopefully, if I miss it, I'll be able to connect to the net somewhere and call Sam. I'll need to know what KTV he'll be at and tell him to expect a tall, thin, Canadian (that looks, at least facially, like Dolf Lundgren of Rocky IV "I must break you!" fame. (Wish I had his body)). Mongerx implied that getting there late would not be good, due to diminished selection of hotties. I'm hopeful that at least one will meet my pretty high standards.

I'd like to say, while I have time on this ride to prattle on, my impression of Hong Kong is highly favourable - apart from the high cost of the decent hotels. Know that you will have little trouble finding someone that speaks a little or a lot of English. Service people working at the $500HKD and up guest houses and hotels do; Concierge staff in each MTR Station and in malls, or at least Kowloon Mall, do. Learn some Cantonese pleasantries though.

Speaking of which... Hi works for greeting; bye bye for parting. (There's a Cantonese equivalent that sounds the same). I forget how to say excuse me. Mmmm goy! means thank-you. That's a phonetic spelling; goy sounds like boy.

It might sound silly learning just four words: hi, excuse me, bye, and thanks. Use them though and you'll often be treated to friendly, pleasing smiles even bigger than normal.

Three days here in Hong Kong and I've really not seen the city. I mean the skyline. The MTR is either all or nearly all underground. Plus I've been in such a panic to find affordable places to stay that I haven't had time to take a city tour. It doesn't help that I stay up till 04:00 and get up at noon.

What I can attest to is the organized kaos here. Getting around on the MTR is a breeze when you know your way. Walking the crowded streets is only maddening if you're in a hurry like I was yesterday. (I had told a cheap "hotel" that I'd be there in an hour so please hold the room. After returning to a store to exchange a crappy in-ear mic headset for a higher priced Logitech one; then catching the wrong train; then not expecting the walk from the Wan Chai Station to 323 Hennessy (I think) to take so long, well, I counted myself lucky that the woman had kept the faith.

I've taken pictures for the three places I stayed at over the three nights I have been here. I'll post them sometime. If not during this trip then when I get home. (By the way does anyone know if I can post a zip file to CH?)

Traffic: it'll come as no surprise to you that there's lots of it. Sooooo many taxis and, of course, buses. I haven't ridden a transit bus yet. I did ride a free, and air conditioned shuttle bus from the New San Diego Hotel to Kowloon Station - when I headed there to apply for the Visa. I've no idea why such nice buses are free.

I've ridden just a few taxis. Ha ha. I guy from work warned me not to trust them. (He's a young kid, Canadian, but from Hong Kong). Actually he's a bus driver like I used to be. Anyway so two nights ago, during my first visit to the freelancer area near Wan Chai, I asked a taxi driver how much it would be to get back across the water to Kowloon - Jordan MTR Station area. He smiled nice and explained that, since the MTR stops running at around 01:00, it would be $200HKD. (Fuck off! thought I). The doorman at the fancier, than New San Diego, Eaton Hotel told me maybe $130HKD from the hotel to there; about $100 coming back.

Let me go off on a tangent for a bit...

(Now I am riding a bus from the Hong Kong/Chinese border. Murphy met me there - somewhere between getting off the MTR and passing through the two checkpoints. (First was for leaving Hong Kong; exit forms were near to the exit point. Then through Chinese immigration; again cards were near to the exit). Both processes went smoothly and I made for a washroom - and there witnesses the first difference between the Hong Kong and Chinese side - decidedly low-rent facilities; smelly too. I passed - not needing to go badly).

NOW IN CHINA:

(Man it's hard typing on a bus compared with the smooth riding MTR).

Sometime during that crossing Murphy messed with my old faithful Delsey travel-on sized, pull along suit case. It won't full extend now - and I'm six foot two. Bah! What a time for it to crap out. Fortunately it wasn't much of a walk to the bus. I had to take evasive action pass two nice taxi drivers that wanted $300RMB (about $45CDN) to head to Chang Ping. I insisted I wanted the bus and, well, it's no surprise that they didn't point me toward them.

With only a little trouble I managed to find the right bus. Unlike Hong Kong, not many people speak even a little English here. None that I talked too - or maybe one had very broken English. I took a photo of the sign post. I'll post it sometime. In the meantime, if anyone crosses before it's posted, when you make it out of the building and encounter your first hungry taxi driver look right and maybe twenty or thirty paces away is the entrance to the bus terminal. Just as when passing Chinese immigration you'll need to let your precious luggage pass through a belt driven scanner. It'll meet you about three steps ahead.

From there head along the line of bus bays on your left to number 44(?). Most of the signage I observed along the way to the bay was in Chinese only. I'm guessing you'll not hear any bilingual announcements either. In Hong lots of signage is in both Cantonese and English - as are the announcements. Nice.

The bay will be in Chinese but says Chang Ping too. I got to it about ten minutes before the bus arrived. Time enough to go back to a bay two or three spots back for a cup of water from the big bottled water jug.

I returned to the bay and the bus was there and loading a handful of passengers. I didn't ask to, and no one stopped me, from taking both my bags on board. I'm sitting right behind the driver. Sorry I can't tell you what the city looks like. It's only nearly five o'clock but I'm not looking out the windows. Ha ha. (I should be really).

The fare was $30RMB and change; about $4.50CDN. (Take THAT taxi driver!). The ride will be about 80 minutes I'm told.

A nice lady, amused by my presence on the bus, (I don't think I look funny?!) let me use her cell to call Sam. Turns out he didn't make a reservation at the Miraton in my name; he's putting me into one of his spare rooms. So I'm guessing he's running a guide service. There's been no mention of payment for his assistance though so I don't know.

He really suggested it would be pointless to get to the KTV his buddies are going too late - again due to the hotties being scooped up quickly.

(Damn this bouncy air conditioned bus!)

Instead he suggested I call him upon arrival and he'll talk to reception to explain that I have a room there. Then I should eat and he'll meet me at... 20:00 I think.

TO FINISH WHAT I WAS SAYING ABOUT HONG KONG:

Where was I? Oh yeah the taxi ride back to New San Diego from Wan Chai...

I wondered around; had a nice Philippina sit in my lap at Hawaii for about an hour; told her I couldn't pay their through-the-nose ST or LT prices so I was going to see BigF for $800HKD. I had one of her profile pictures on my iphone so I showed her it and a few others - noting how the pics are accurate. (She spoke good English. Name's Angel. She's a cutie and kisses with apparent pleasure and with tongue).

I told her to meet me at 4:00 nearby and I'd pay her $1500HKD directly if she stayed till noon. (Versus the $3500 mamasan quoted). She indicated she would.

Did BigF and walked back to the bar area - balking at the $20HKD a taxi outside BigF's hotel quoted me. I thought he was giving me a rip off price but learned later that the meter starts at $18HKD.

While waiting for her I interrupted two white guys (there are a lot in the area from around the world) to ask about the fare to Jordan MTR Station area. Turns out that they were Spaniards. One of them had a little broken English so between him speaking it, and Spanish, and me speaking not-so-broken Spanish, we chatted about a lot of things for about an hour. (Ultimately he invited me to join him and his friend in Traffik - a bar above Joe Bananas).

Regarding the taxi drivers he assured me in strong terms it was unlikely I'd be ripped off. As long as the meter was on that is. He travels to Hong Kong a lot for his import/export business. (Imagine that... someone in the import/export business being in Hong Kong of all places).

Testing his word I again asked an older chauffeur how much. He laughed when I told him I'd earlier been quoted $200HKD and said about $80HKD "no more - but you can pay me 80 Euros if you like," (laughing and smiling even more).

The girl didn't show; I joined the Spaniards and watched/helped them chat with two freelancers. After half an hour I headed down to grab a cab. So this, the third driver I asked the price to quoted about $70HKD. I jumped in; bulked up; and marveled at how all the traffic obeys the lights - even at 05:00. The meter read $50 but I gave him an extra $10 to cover the toll payment he made along the way. I'm guessing that when taxis go through tolls - either direction - without a fare they don't pay it. (Hey I could have ducked down behind the seat and saved $10HKD! Damn!!!)

(17:30. Soon I'll be in four star digs that cost the same as the peanut sized room I stayed in last night - which was otherwise clean and had the basic amenities. Oh and it was an interior sans windows so, with the lights out and my earplugs in, kind of like sensory deprivation. Appreciated when you go to bed at 05:30).

(From the glances I've been taking along the way to Chang Ping I'd say, but for the Chinese signage, this side of the border looks more like Latin America than Hong Kong. That's an early impression though).

I hit the sidewalk in front of my Wan Chai digs at precisely 13:01; walked ten minutes west(?) to the Wan Chai Station; caught the train to Lo Wu Station - transferring twice along the way. Total transit time was 40 minutes including the ten minute walk.

Now that I think of it I forgot to turn in my Octopus Card and get back the $50HKD deposit. Sigh. That's about $6.50CDN down the drain. Ha ha. (Hopefully I return to Hong Kong for a few days sight seeing before I fly back to Canada - but only if I can book some decent hotel for no more than $800HKD).

Ummm. I guess I've covered everything I had in mind to write about right now. Again I'm amazed my brain is working fairly well after three nights of not ideal sleep. (Thanks Temazapam for your help).

IN CHINA:

Hey they drive on the right side of the rode here! That should reduce the risk of me absentmindedly stepping in front of a bus.

I guess we're in Chang Ping now. No idea if I'm being dropped at my hotel. Probably not. The driver just looked at me funny when I said, slowly, "Miraton Hotel? Hotel Miraton? This is the Chinese equivalent of a Greyhound bus though so what should I expect.

Later - about ten minutes - during which time I actaully stopped typed to view the city. Yep. Looks a lot like Latin American cities. In other words somewhat chaotic traffic wise. Plus the streets look dirty. It's all good though. I'm sure that just like in LA the locals are friendly. So far they have been anyway...

The driver, maybe with the help of the cell lady, realized where I needed to go and dropped me within view. Fast forward to the speedy check-in (thanks Sam) and...

WOW!!! If I could cum viewing a hotel room I would have needed a change of short and pants. Less than $400RMB ($60CDN) for all this?! For the same price I paid for the cell I was in last night? For half the cost of the B P International which, while none too shabby, pales in comparison to the luxury I have walked into here. I've taken pics of the room and all its amenities. You know by now... I'll post when I get the chance.

I am typing this in a none moving buffet dining room. $100RMB for all you can eat. And let me tell you there's a lot here. The Miraton has two buffets. (I think. Sam told me so). One Chinese and the other Western style. I'm eating Western. Later on, when Sam takes me to a sauna, I'll probably be eating Chinese.

Gotta go for now. I have to be in my room around 20:30 when Sam arrives. Too bad the WiFi signal up on the 18th floor isn't strong enough for use. So far that's my only complaint about this place.

Oh I meant to mention that the MTR is pretty darn cheap. A fifteen or twenty minute trip, with changes at stations, takes about $7HKD off your Octopus Card. What a system!

Later...

Dude, there's wired lan in you hotel room. Look in the desk drawer for a lan cable you can use to connect you laptop. China (especially Chang Ping!) is good about value for hotel dollar, always free internet in the room (just can't go to youtube, social network sites, use drop box, and etc without a VPN account.)

I am baffled at how you got to Changping. It sounds like you took the MTR to the border, then walked across the border, then got on a local train to CP, but didn't and took a bus instead?

I suggest taking the non-stop intercity express from Hung Hom station directly to Dongguan (Changping) station. From there it's a short ride to the hotels. The train ride is just over an hour. Here's the schedule:

http://www.it3.mtr.com.hk/B2C/frmScheduleGuangdong.asp?strLang=Eng

You can still take the express to go back to HK, and not deal with buses and local trains and border walks and all.

For the express train, you go through Chinese immigration at Changping station, coming and going. Hope you enjoy the KTVs.

Last post I mentioned I was off to Chang An to meet Sam. I had it backwards: I'm off to Chang Ping to meet him. (Got the Visa of course).

I'm writing this, in Notepad++, while on my final MTR ride, on the light blue line, from Hung Ham to Lo Wu. At Lo Wu I will catch an intercity train to Chang Ping. Two people on this train told me it's about 45 minutes to Low Wu. That puts me there at 14:45. Mongerx said there's a train at 14:47 and then 16:??. The first would get me to Chang Ping in time to meet Sam and head to the KTV with him. Obviously it's unlikely I'll make that train - unless its departure is delayed. (Fingers crossed).

If I miss it I'll either check out a sauna or sight see. Or both. Hopefully, if I miss it, I'll be able to connect to the net somewhere and call Sam. I'll need to know what KTV he'll be at and tell him to expect a tall, thin, Canadian (that looks, at least facially, like Dolf Lundgren of Rocky IV "I must break you!" fame. (Wish I had his body)). Mongerx implied that getting there late would not be good, due to diminished selection of hotties. I'm hopeful that at least one will meet my pretty high standards.

I'd like to say, while I have time on this ride to prattle on, my impression of Hong Kong is highly favourable - apart from the high cost of the decent hotels. Know that you will have little trouble finding someone that speaks a little or a lot of English. Service people working at the $500HKD and up guest houses and hotels do; Concierge staff in each MTR Station and in malls, or at least Kowloon Mall, do. Learn some Cantonese pleasantries though.

Speaking of which... Hi works for greeting; bye bye for parting. (There's a Cantonese equivalent that sounds the same). I forget how to say excuse me. Mmmm goy! means thank-you. That's a phonetic spelling; goy sounds like boy.

It might sound silly learning just four words: hi, excuse me, bye, and thanks. Use them though and you'll often be treated to friendly, pleasing smiles even bigger than normal.

Three days here in Hong Kong and I've really not seen the city. I mean the skyline. The MTR is either all or nearly all underground. Plus I've been in such a panic to find affordable places to stay that I haven't had time to take a city tour. It doesn't help that I stay up till 04:00 and get up at noon.

What I can attest to is the organized chaos here. Getting around on the MTR is a breeze when you know your way. Walking the crowded streets is only maddening if you're in a hurry like I was yesterday. (I had told a cheap "hotel" that I'd be there in an hour so please hold the room. After returning to a store to exchange a crappy in-ear mic headset for a higher priced Logitech one; then catching the wrong train; then not expecting the walk from the Wan Chai Station to 323 Hennessey (I think) to take so long, well, I counted myself lucky that the woman had kept the faith.

I've taken pictures for the three places I stayed at over the three nights I have been here. I'll post them sometime. If not during this trip then when I get home. (By the way does anyone know if I can post a zip file to CH?)

Traffic: it'll come as no surprise to you that there's lots of it. Sooooo many taxis and, of course, buses. I haven't ridden a transit bus yet. I did ride a free, and air conditioned shuttle bus from the New San Diego Hotel to Kowloon Station - when I headed there to apply for the Visa. I've no idea why such nice buses are free.

I've ridden just a few taxis. Ha ha. I guy from work warned me not to trust them. (He's a young kid, Canadian, but from Hong Kong). Actually he's a bus driver like I used to be. Anyway so two nights ago, during my first visit to the freelancer area near Wan Chai, I asked a taxi driver how much it would be to get back across the water to Kowloon - Jordan MTR Station area. He smiled nice and explained that, since the MTR stops running at around 01:00, it would be $200HKD. (Fuck off! thought I). The doorman at the fancier, than New San Diego, Eaton Hotel told me maybe $130HKD from the hotel to there; about $100 coming back.

Let me go off on a tangent for a bit...

(Now I am riding a bus from the Hong Kong/Chinese border. Murphy met me there - somewhere between getting off the MTR and passing through the two checkpoints. (First was for leaving Hong Kong; exit forms were near to the exit point. Then through Chinese immigration; again cards were near to the exit). Both processes went smoothly and I made for a washroom - and there witnesses the first difference between the Hong Kong and Chinese side - decidedly low-rent facilities; smelly too. I passed - not needing to go badly).

NOW IN CHINA:

(Man it's hard typing on a bus compared with the smooth riding MTR).

Sometime during that crossing Murphy messed with my old faithful Delsey travel on sized, pull along suit case. It won't full extend now - and I'm six foot two. Bah! What a time for it to crap out. Fortunately it wasn't much of a walk to the bus. I had to take evasive action pass two nice taxi drivers that wanted $300RMB (about $45CDN) to head to Chang Ping. I insisted I wanted the bus and, well, it's no surprise that they didn't point me toward them.

With only a little trouble I managed to find the right bus. Unlike Hong Kong, not many people speak even a little English here. None that I talked too - or maybe one had very broken English. I took a photo of the sign post. I'll post it sometime. In the meantime, if anyone crosses before it's posted, when you make it out of the building and encounter your first hungry taxi driver look right and maybe twenty or thirty paces away is the entrance to the bus terminal. Just as when passing Chinese immigration you'll need to let your precious luggage pass through a belt driven scanner. It'll meet you about three steps ahead.

From there head along the line of bus bays on your left to number 44(?). Most of the signage I observed along the way to the bay was in Chinese only. I'm guessing you'll not hear any bilingual announcements either. In Hong lots of signage is in both Cantonese and English - as are the announcements. Nice.

The bay will be in Chinese but says Chang Ping too. I got to it about ten minutes before the bus arrived. Time enough to go back to a bay two or three spots back for a cup of water from the big bottled water jug.

I returned to the bay and the bus was there and loading a handful of passengers. I didn't ask to, and no one stopped me, from taking both my bags on board. I'm sitting right behind the driver. Sorry I can't tell you what the city looks like. It's only nearly five o'clock but I'm not looking out the windows. Ha ha. (I should be really).

The fare was $30RMB and change; about $4.50CDN. (Take THAT taxi driver!). The ride will be about 80 minutes I'm told.

A nice lady, amused by my presence on the bus, (I don't think I look funny?!) let me use her cell to call Sam. Turns out he didn't make a reservation at the Miraton in my name; he's putting me into one of his spare rooms. So I'm guessing he's running a guide service. There's been no mention of payment for his assistance though so I don't know.

He really suggested it would be pointless to get to the KTV his buddies are going too late - again due to the hotties being scooped up quickly.

(Damn this bouncy air conditioned bus!)

Instead he suggested I call him upon arrival and he'll talk to reception to explain that I have a room there. Then I should eat and he'll meet me at... 20:00 I think.

TO FINISH WHAT I WAS SAYING ABOUT HONG KONG:

Where was I? Oh yeah the taxi ride back to New San Diego from Wan Chai...

I wondered around; had a nice Philippina sit in my lap at Hawaii for about an hour; told her I couldn't pay their through-the-nose ST or LT prices so I was going to see BigF for $800HKD. I had one of her profile pictures on my iphone so I showed her it and a few others - noting how the pics are accurate. (She spoke good English. Name's Angel. She's a cutie and kisses with apparent pleasure and with tongue).

I told her to meet me at 4:00 nearby and I'd pay her $1500HKD directly if she stayed till noon. (Versus the $3500 mamasan quoted). She indicated she would.

Did BigF and walked back to the bar area - balking at the $20HKD a taxi outside BigF's hotel quoted me. I thought he was giving me a rip off price but learned later that the meter starts at $18HKD.

While waiting for her I interrupted two white guys (there are a lot in the area from around the world) to ask about the fare to Jordan MTR Station area. Turns out that they were Spaniards. One of them had a little broken English so between him speaking it, and Spanish, and me speaking not-so-broken Spanish, we chatted about a lot of things for about an hour. (Ultimately he invited me to join him and his friend in Traffik - a bar above Joe Bananas).

Regarding the taxi drivers he assured me in strong terms it was unlikely I'd be ripped off. As long as the meter was on that is. He travels to Hong Kong a lot for his import/export business. (Imagine that... someone in the import/export business being in Hong Kong of all places).

IN CHINA:

I guess we're in Chang Ping now. No idea if I'm being dropped at my hotel. Probably not. The driver just looked at me funny when I said, slowly, "Miraton Hotel? Hotel Miraton? This is the Chinese equivalent of a Greyhound bus though so what should I expect.

For half the cost of the B P International which, while none too shabby, pales in comparison to the luxury I have walked into here. I've taken pics of the room and all its amenities. You know by now... I'll post when I get the chance.

I am typing this in a none moving buffet dining room. $100RMB for all you can eat. And let me tell you there's a lot here. The Miraton has two buffets. (I think. Sam told me so). One Chinese and the other Western style. I'm eating Western. Later on, when Sam takes me to a sauna, I'll probably be eating Chinese.

...

It's morning now. Sam showed up on time and I met him in the lobby. After introductions he said let's go but I sat him down first - in the oh-so-posh lobby. His idea was to take me to a sauna where I'd enjoy a two hour session with some cutie. That was fine with me as long as I could take something to go. I said it would be a waste to sleep alone in a king sized bed.

Turns out sauna don't work that way.

To make matters worse the, ummm, the night market(?) wasn't happening last night. Sam explained it had something to do with Asian Games(?) being in town. Hmmm. Strike two.

Right about then Mongerx called to see if we'd hooked up. They chatted a bit about options and it was decided that we should check out a nearby KTV and see whether there were any leavings worth, uh, leaving with. (Any option was good with me so long as I had a bed warmer for the night).

A short taxi ride had us at what Sam said, if I recall correctly, was a small KTV. He'd explained that it's at the larger ones that the hotties all get picked clean early on; far earlier than when we would be arriving there.

So in we walked to this "small" KTV...

WOW!!! Until that moment I didn't think any place would replace Rio's 4x4 (Quatro por Quatro) Termas as my favorite place to hunt. Those of you that have been there know how great it is. Sure it's narrow, multi level layout makes walking about a bit crowded but hey! The girls are hot hot hot!

Well I didn't get to see the opening selection so I'm not yet able to chime in on that matter as to which is better: Rio's Termas or China's KTVs. What I can say is... how should I put this. Words really fail to convey the luxuriousness of wherever we were. Palatial comes to mind; elegant; spacious; comfortable; EXPENSIVE!!! (But it's not).

Of course taking pictures was not allowed, and they don't have a brochure that shows off the place. Probably on the net you can find pictures. I'd look and link but there's no WiFi in my room. (I think I mentioned that already).

Before I had time to just take in the atmosphere a girl was brought to me; then another came up too. Mamasan thought either should have fit the bill for horny white guy but they didn't. (After all, they were the leftovers).

Then another Mamasan brought a girl and I knew instantly I'd found a worthy bed warmer. For me the face is THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE and this girl was cute and sweet looking. She seemed comfortable with me, a tall middle aged white guy. The hunt, short as it was, was over.

I'm not sure how to spell her name. Maybe Fong Fong? Sam, said to say it like Fun Fun. That had a nice ring to it to me.

Now back in the lobby Sam had explained how I wouldn't need any money to take the girl out. How the girl pays the KTV so that she can work there and, in the morning after I pay her, she'll pay about a third(?) to the KTV. She's a bit tall, which means she's a "model" (tall ones are marked up as models even if their face isn't model like) so that put her in the 300 500 800 price range.

Wait... I think the higher price range is 400 600 900(?). Mongerx can chime in and clarify.

Anyway I remembered what Sam had told me back at the hotel but, considering the surroundings, I had him repeat that yes, to take this cutie for the whole night; till near noon next day was 800RMB. BIG SMILE.

So we three caught a taxi back to the hotel and then Sam went off to tend to I-don't-know-what.

Fun Fun has no English. I have no Mandarin. (OK I know Hi and Thank-you). Conversation has been lacking. That's alright though. I knew that going in. Still she's nice to look at.

Clearly she's new to the business. Meaning service wise she's, well, she's sure no match for the typical garota de programa. (Brazilian working girl to those of you scratching your noggins). She's here for the money, without a doubt. I suppose that's why she wasn't scooped up during the opening hour.

Also, while cute as a button, she barely has tits. Ah well. I consider myself lucky to have gotten anything so quickly and easily.

I won't go into the sordid details of our time in bed except to say she was TIGHT. I went in real real slow and then went at it - for a good twenty minutes in multiple positions: doggy; her on her side; doggie again. Tried her standing in heels, leaning over the bed, but I couldn't get in at all that way. So back on the bed into doggie but with her legs between mine. Immediately I pushed her down with a pillow under her hips to raise her bum. Then I laid back against the head board and she layed on me. By then I was pretty winded so I just slow rocked her for another five or ten minutes.

Jeez I said I wouldn't go into the sordid details didn't I. Sorry.

She's sleeping next to me right now

Now I know you're probably thinking didn't I open this post by saying it was morning? (At least the sharper ones amongst you all are). I did. But I wrote this at midnight see; in my WiFi challenged room.

A little while later...

OK I totally lied about it being morning when I started this post. It's now 04:30 and my mouse is broken.

NO! I didn't name little me Mouse. I mean the mini, retractable corded one I bought in Rio two years ago. I dropped it one too many times I guess. Last time was onto the tile floor in this damned hotel! This would have never happened in the carpeted cell I stayed in last night in Hong Kong. Damn you Miraton!!!

All kidding aside this hotel reminds me of Seinfeld. Remember when Jerry does the chivalrous thing and takes the first class upgrade - thus saving Elaine the pain of flying coach again after experiencing First Class air travel.

How can I pay $60CDN for anything less now?! (And now I believe what hotels.com indicated about Bangkok: luxury hotels for well under $100USD).

You're probably wondering about Fun Fun. Well she left at one one. It was my idea - sort of. See... this is the first time I've hit a total wall in communicating with a working girl. Until Monday night, all my adventures were in Costa Rica (four trips in 05 - which I posted about on CostaRicaTicas forum under the same nickname - with or without a space between the two words); three to Buenos Aires; two to Cuba; one to Colombia; and last but really first in service with a smile... Hio Gee Janeiro. (That's the way they say it).

For all of those trips I could nearly always get my meaning across with little or no miming. Not so here. As you can imagine it's hard to feel any sort of connection under such conditions. I'll see how things go in Chang An over the next two nights. If very similar to here I might have to do as I thought I would while crossing the Pacific: make a side trip to Manila or Singapore or Bangkok - where the people know a lot, a lot, and (I'm told in Thailand) a little English.

I do want to return to Hong Kong earlier than my return flight if I can book a decent hotel for no more than around $100CDN. If not maybe I'll change the return to fly from one of those other places.

I've a feeling I'll want to return to here too, but only after learning basic Mandarin. So far very few locals I've tried speaking English to have had any idea what I was on about. Even in this nice hotel.

Getting back to Fun Fun: it might be she would have stayed the whole night if I'd not mimed that she could call a friend to chat if she wanted to. In the cab on the way to the hotel I had Sam tell her I didn't want her making/taking calls while she was with me. It's a sign that she is new to, and doesn't understand our ways, that she asked Sam "Why?" She did put the phone away before we danced on the bed.

At that time, 01:00, I was bored but not sleepy and she'd been dozing while I wrote a lot of the above. It was clear to me that she's a newbie. I mean, others signs of such not mentioned until now is that she sweetly declined sucking me and, when I was out of breath she wouldn't even jack me off. (Just as well thought that since "Nobody does it better," than Mr. Hand).

That she wouldn't allow kissing I totally expected. I can see how that's a much more intimate thing than raw fucking. (Don't know about sucking). The other refusals I took well. Clearly it was a mistake to choose her so quickly but the instant I saw her face my heart rate surely went up at least a little. Besides I hate turning girls away; it feels awkward even though I know the experienced girls don't, or shouldn't, take it personally. "Different strokes for different folks," In this regard the Colombians have THE system: their presentation system wherein each girl parades into a private salon, opens her doctor type white smock, twirls, says her name, and asks "Con permiso?" ("With permission? (I'll leave)"). Nice.

I know you're wondering... I paid her the $500RMB short time rate instead of the $800RMB overnight one. It wasn't a bad way to pass three and a half hours in a "whole nother country,"

After she left I dozed will near 04:00 and then, knowing it would be a while until I could sleep more, took a nice warm bubble bath. Ha ha. I squirted all of the little tube into the tub and had mountains of suds covering me. So if any of you swing both ways just picture Dolf Lundgren, without the muscles, in the tub and have at it. Ha ha ha.

Now it's 05:00 and I feel sleepy again. That's about the time I left Escape in Wan Chai, HK last night so I expected it would take until then to get really sleepy. That's another reason I was a bit relieved that Fun Fun was leaving. No I wasn't worried about my stuff. Anything of real value was crammed in the safe - including my netbook. (The safe, which I took pictures of, would probably hold a 15 inch laptop. Nice). It was just... boring after the sex. I felt for her - and for me too. I don't know but maybe I'm becoming a short time guy like some of you.

Regarding Escape: I want to describe the scene there a bit, and tell you all of a natural alternative to Cialis - that was sold to me in a pharmacy near the B P International back in HK.

I also want to elaborate a bit about the excellent MTR transit system and its Octopus Card too. All three subjects will have to wait until I am rested.

Later...

Mongerx, Murasaki,

Thanks to you both for your tips.

Since I check out of the Miraton in less than an hour I've found out about that too late. I'll look for the cable though just to see if it was in plain site and I goofed up missing it. At home I have WiFi and don't really think of cables, at least not with netbooks.

Murasaki,

You probably already know that I PMed you about the message you sent a while back re getting to Chang Ping. As I said in the reply, I wish I'd re-read that message before leaving HK for Chang Ping. Ah well though. The bus was fine with me and I got here safely.

Thanks again guys,

CC

I think you went to FuHao KTV, the standard pricing is 2-5-8 - which you paid. I don't think that FH has a model catagory (3-6-9 pricing or more). No Kissing and No BJ are definitely two infractions that lead to ST. Too many tourists mongers in CP these days and girls definitely try to pull that no BJ bullshit because the too often get away with it. This seems to be a bit of a problem in AC too in the Fields Ave. clubs.

FuHao has long been my favorite CP KTV. Good combo of great venue, lots of good looking girls, and the girls seem to have relatively good attitudes for a CP KTV. In CA, the KTV won't be as luxurious, but the girls attitude's are way better.

Arrived in Chang An at 16:30 after a nice one hour ride from a driver of Sam's. $100RMB.

Gotta rest for the KTV tonight.

MX,

Last time I was in FuHao KTV they did have a model category and pricing was 3, 6, 10.

What exchange rate you getting, about 6.5 to 1 ??

Back in Changping; back at the Miraton. Here is a link to their site:

http://www.miratonhotel.com/english/main-e.htm

Hmmm. I don't know why the link isn't clickable. You might have to copy and paste it into your browser.

Paste the following into maps.google.com and you'll see it marked on the map.

Zhongyuan Road, Changping Town, Dongguan, Guangdong

Zooming out shows that it's slightly west of due north of Hong Kong.

Remember that a room here is only, what was it?, $384RMB/night. I can't remember for sure but I know it converts to about $60CDN/USD at them moment. Great value.

Turns out they have a KTV right here in the hotel. Checked out its reception area: very posh and lit with colored lights/strips. I didn't ask how many girls.

I'm making notes but not, as you can tell, posting like I did when I first landed from Canada. It would be nice to be able to tell how many views this thread has gotten; that would motivate me to post. As it is I've no idea whether five, fifty, or five hundred fellow mongers are reading my ramblings.

Thanks, that's 6.4 to 1, about what I found.

So 500RMB ST converts to about $78 Canadian.

Last I checked you've had about 4.5 million views, keep posting, with pics to !!!!!!!! Ha, Ha !!

Hotel looks very nice for the price, think I could make it there by myself speaking no Chinese but with an eletronic translator ??

Fooledagain1,

I strongly urge anyone that has no Mandarin from visiting this part of China for mongering. Communication, while important for normal day-to-day doings, is vitally important if you are going for anything more than short time.

The reason I say this is that, so far, the best I've been able to do is have a girl stay until 06:00. That's with a sampling of about five girls.

Contrast this to mongerx: he regularly has his picks stay till near noon or later. By his own admission he hasn't a lot of Mandarin, yet he's able to keep the girls from getting bored between the sex rounds.

As I said at the start of this journal, this is my first time in Asia and it was a rushed, last minute decision to come. That's why I know only about five words - literally.

I've made many trips to Latin America and, while not fluent in either Portuguese or Spanish, I've actually been able to chat with the girls somewhat. Enough that I had numerous ones stay over.

I can't recall if I mentioned LiveMocha.com yet in this thread. (I think I did). Anyway join it and start learning.

Check out Pimsleur too - it's famous for making learning a new language relatively easy.

Combining both methods daily should give anyone a basic working knowledge of the target language within a few months.
