This report is getting a little past due so I better get this started. I am going to do a brief introduction followed by a “getting there” chapter before I start the actual report. In my last report about the Philippines I ranked countries before the trip and then re-shuffled them based on my trip there. Now I am going to do pre-trip and post trip rankings all in this chapter.
My rankings before this trip were:
1. Thailand
1A. Brazil
3 Philippines
4. Argentina
5. Dominican Republic
6. Mexico
After the trip they now stand at:
1. Thailand
2. Brazil
3. Philippines
4. Macau
5. Argentina
6. Hong Kong
7. Dominican Republic
8. Mexico
The biggest and most obvious change is a clear number and number two now exist. I attribute that mainly to freshness. I have been to Thailand three times now and Brazil only once. However, late this year or early next year I should be taking another trip to Brazil and Argentina so those above rankings may be subject to change after that trip. Costa Rica may also be added somewhere to this list in August.
I spent 7 days in Hong Kong, 1 day in Macau, and 5 days in Thailand. My biggest regret is not spending one or two more days in Macau.
As far as preparation went, I decided to stay in Tsim Sha Tsui. I chose this area instead of Hong Kong Island because it by far had the highest concentration of 1-4-1 ladies available. Also, Jordan was very close by and had the second highest concentration of 1-4-1 ladies. Then there was Portland and Shanghai Street for the Mongkok brothels and I thought that Kowloon in general seemed to be the hot spot for prostitution. There were also several saunas I read about in Kowloon.
Hotels in Hong Kong seemed insanely expensive so I went online to Priceline.com and bid $45-$50 dollars a night for a five star hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. That was quickly denied, but a four star hotel in TST, the Regal Kowloon was accepted. This hotel worked out perfectly for me which I will discuss a little later. Their website is at Regal Kowloon Hotel
I also learned a neat little way to maximum my AAdvantage miles using Anything Points from Ebay, Points.com and Priceline Travel through Ebay. Basically what you do is go http://anythingpoints.ebay.com/ and sign up. You also have to have a Paypal account (http://www.paypal.com) which ties to your Anything Points and keeps track of them. Then go to points.com and signup for a free account. Then convert it to a paid account for only $19.95. This is cool because you get 2100 Anything Points for buying a paid account. These can be converted to 977 AAdvantage miles. BUT, right now points.com is offering a deal through June 30th where you get double AAdvantage miles plus a 25% bonus. So those 977 are actually 2198 AAdvantage miles. Finally, go back to anythingpoints.ebay.com and click on the Priceline link. You get 1500 Anything Points for each hotel you book through them, but be sure to use the link from the Ebay Anything Points page. Don’t go to priceline.com directly or you won’t get the points. Then when you are awarded the 1500 points, convert them to AAdvantage miles. Those 1500 points convert to 698 miles. But with the bonus you get 1570 miles total.
So I made out pretty good. I booked through AA.com to get to Hong Kong, which routed me through Narita Japan on a 777 from LAX to Tokyo. Then it was a 747 from Narita to HK on Cathay.
I had a list of saunas to check out in both Hong Kong and Macau, although the saunas in Macau were REALLY expensive. They ran from like $125 to $200 US. The saunas in HK ran from around $64 US to $128 US. I also started book marking a whole bunch of ladies from sex141.com and 161sm.com. But what I noticed what that during the course of book marking them, many of them disappeared rather quickly. So I had bookmarked like 40 ladies two weeks before I left. But when I went to print them out a day before I departed; only about 20 ladies were still listed on the page. It seems that many of these ladies are only on short term visas from the mainland. I would recommend looking, but not getting your hopes up for a particular lady if you start looking way ahead of time. Your best bet is to check out the site while in HK or take print outs only a few days in advance of travel.
I also installed the Chinese font on my computer and printed those 141 addresses out in Chinese. I figured just handing the printouts to the taxi drivers would make finding the building easy. (This was not always the case though!) I also got a Lonely Planet Hong Kong and Macau book and got a good Berndtson and Berndtson Hong Kong map. This proved invaluable because after a few days I didn’t need to hand the taxi drivers the printouts anymore. I could simply walk there or have the taxis take me to a landmark or major cross roads and then find the apartments myself.
The site Centamap.com is also a very valuable resource. You can put in the building names in English and it will show you exactly where they are.
So armed with about 20 printouts, my maps, my book, my reservations, etc, I set out for Hong Kong for the first time. I viewed the trip would some trepidation though. While the pictures of the 1-4-1 ladies were incredibly enticing, I was concerned about previous reports of snobby Chinese attitudes towards Whitey, average sessions, CBJ’s, high volume ladies, etc. Still, I figured it was worth a try so I decided I would reserve judgment until I arrived and had a chance to check out the scene.
So with that I left Tucson on my way to Hong Kong.

One point I forgot to add what that one aspect I was really looking forward to greatly on this trip was reporting back on my adventures.
The last destination I went to (Philippines) has already been covered greatly so I didn't get to break any new ground. Hong Kong has a HUGE scene that seems mostly untapped to visitors of this board. I am looking forward to building up some of the information here about HK and Macau.

Thanks for the report. I am looking forward to the rest as I may be working in Macau soon.

Xen,
I've been waiting and waiting for your report. But I know it takes me a while to put all of the details in order and you are probably 10 times as detailed as me.
Looking forward - nice to see we're in agreement about Thailand being a clear-cut number one - it is the total package.

Xen, as usual, an excellent start. I agree that Hong Kong and Macau have huge potential and the more info we get on these places the better. I'm also in agreement that no destination I've been to can touch LOS.

Xen:
Eagerly waiting to read and analyze your detailed report. I have no doubt that it will be a masterpiece.
I will repeat the question, I had asked Merlin:
It seems that all the Hombres who visited, have loved Macau. It has quantity and quality in abundance. Then why is Macau No.4 on your list? Shouldnt it deserve the No. 2 spot?
I hope your report provides the answer.
