When I booked the ticket to Hong Kong I had two choices. 1. I could have gone direct from LAX to Hong Kong on Cathay, or 2. I could go American from LAX to Narita and then Narita to Hong Kong on Cathay. The American ticket was a bit cheaper than the direct Cathay ticket and stopovers don’t bother me that much so I decided to go ahead and do the combined AA-Cathay route through Narita.
Before departing from LAX to Japan, I decided to check out the Admiral’s Club lounge at LAX. I entered and gave them my ticket and the lady gave me three complimentary drink coupons. The lounge was spacious and nice. They had computers with T-Mobile internet for free use, but if you wanted to use your laptop you had to purchase the day pass through T-Mobile or be a subscriber already. They also had shower facilities, etc, but since I had just begun my journey I didn’t check them out.
I killed some time on the internet and downed a few drinks before boarding the plane and taking off. The flight was pleasant except for some flight attendants that could barely squeeze their way up and down the aisles because they were so fat. I also had the best meal I’ve ever had on a plane when they served pepperoni pizza for lunch. And it was good. That was awesome.
When I arrived at Narita I headed to the Cathay lounge and they had a new Cathay Pacific boarding pass all ready and waiting for me. This lounge was a little cramped and crowded, but the drinks and snacks were plentiful and self serve. They also had free Wi-Fi available in addition to paid Wi-Fi access. The free Wi-Fi worked fine so I pigged out while killing time reading some news and visiting my daily internet sites.
The flight attendant difference is so pronounced after getting off American and changing to Cathay. A bunch of old and fat flight attendants were replaced by young, fit and friendly flight attendants. I love the Asian airlines. I ready do. I don’t have any complaints really about the service on American, although I do think the flight attendants on Cathay go out of their way to be friendly while the FA’s on American are just kind of “there and friendly” because they have to be.
My flight wasn’t getting into Hong Kong until around 10 or 11 in the evening. So my options for sex on the first night were quite limited. But I had a plan! Most of the 1-4-1’s seem to shut down between 10pm and midnight, but a few were open until 2 and some were open 24 hours.
I checked right as I left and in the lounges at LAX and Narita that the ladies I wanted were still working at the addresses I had printed out. Luckily they were and there weren’t any last minute changes. The apartment building I was planning to visit had about four ladies all working till 2am and they were concentrated right next to each other, so I figured I could get in one session on my first night there and then really get after it the following day.
I finally arrived into HKIA and customs was pretty much a breeze. (They hand out 90 day airport visas there.) I noticed a spot to change some money and while I was doing this, they asked me if I wanted to take the train into town. They deal was something like $160 HKD ($20 US) for a round trip ticket and then they also had a shuttle at Kowloon Station or Hong Kong Station that would take you to select hotels in the area. Luckily my hotel (The Regal Kowloon) was on the list and it was the second stop on route K4.
I also remember Wallstreet recommending taking the train in. The airport was pretty far out so I also figured this would be a faster way to get into town anyway. The only problem was that the buses stopped running at 11:10 pm so I had to hurry. It was around 10:30pm by now. But it would not have been a big deal even if I missed the bus because taxis are still an option.
The cool thing about the train was that they had a route indicator showing how far you had gone and how much farther it was to your destination. The seats also had displays in them with news, sports, etc as well as information about the airport and flight arrival and departure times.
Once I arrived at Kowloon Station I just followed the signs to the buses and got on bus K4. The lady at the money exchange place where I got the ticket handed me a flyer with the information on different bus routes and which hotels they go to.
In case someone needs this for the future, here is the schedule:
From Hong Kong Station
H1: Island Shangri-La -> Conrad International Hong Kong -> Pacific Place -> JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong -> The Empire Hotel Hong Kong Renaissance Harbour View Hotel -> Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The MTR Site is located at http://www.mtr.com.hk/
Here is a good MTR Route Map. The MTR is a great way to get around Hong Kong. I started using it a lot later in the trip.
There were about 5 people on the bus all together and with all the luggage the five of us had there wasn’t much room for anyone else. The Regal Kowloon was the second stop and the bus finished emptying there. That left me with check-in and the obligatory room and toilet pictures. To my surprise (since I got a cheap rate on Priceline.com), I got a room with a slight view of Hong Kong Island. It wasn’t much of a view since the viewing lane was sandwiched in between two other high rise buildings, but it was still a slight view nonetheless.

Here are the pictures of the room:
I was so tired by now. I didn’t sleep at all the night before since I had an early flight to LAX. (It left at 5:30am.) And then I can never really sleep well on planes anyway. (I forgot to try some ambien.) So by the time I got in I was totally beat. But that still didn’t stop me. I wanted to get after it this trip after disappointing numbers on my previous two trips. So I cleaned myself, got dressed and headed out to my first 1-4-1. I actually felt refreshed after the shower.
I gave the taxi driver my piece of paper with the address of the building in Chinese. We sped off and it was a quick drive. He dropped me off and then pointed to a building and said that was where it was. It was not where it was at all.
As it would turn out though, this building would be good for a late night session, but not so good for a newbie to find. Carnavon Road runs parallel to Nathan Road which is the main North-South Street in Kowloon. The only problem is that the James S. Lee Mansion is located at a five point intersection. At this intersection Carnavon Road branches southwest; Prat Road goes East, Humphrey’s Road west and Hart Road goes southeast.
I have included a map shot from Centamap.com
Now if I were looking at this map I would have found the building no problem. But the problem in finding this building was that the 33-35 numbers weren’t marked clearly from the outside. Some buildings were, but this one was not. And to make matters worse the entrance to the building was actually on Prat Road instead of Carnavon Road, if I recall correctly. I probably would not have found it that night unless I pulled out my printout, which had a picture of the front of the building on it. I started looking for that instead of numbers and then finally found it.
Here is the front of the building as well as a shot of Prat Road
As you can see there is a banner than hangs down in the front of the building making it even more difficult to find. Luckily that Ultra Lights banner was in my printout picture as well so I noticed the building by looking for that.
It seems like the James S. Lee Mansion has a lot more ladies working at it now. When I was there only four ladies were listed and all of them were on the 7th floor. Rain was working there when I visited, but I never had a session with her. Now it seems that 12 ladies now work out of the James S. Lee Mansion.
http://www.sex141.com/php-en/perBld.php?bld=50
I went in and headed upstairs to the 7th floor. There was a guy sitting outside of the apartments on a chair. There were also closed circuit cameras (kind of like small web cameras) in the hallway and in front of every door. This would be consistent throughout all apartments where 1-4-1 ladies worked.
I wanted to do a lady named How How first. She was supposed to be in 7C. I rang the doorbell, but there was no answer. I could hear someone moving around behind the door though. So I rang again, but there was still no answer. I then moved on to my second choice who was Wong Yin in 7B. No answer. Finally, I settled for a third choice in Rain at 7A. There was no answer. And I again heard someone moving behind the door.
Well shit! This was frustrating. Were they not answering the door because I was a whitey? Did they have customers already? Could I just not read the sign on the door? What did it say? Was it a room number address or a busy sign?
The guy sitting in the chair encouraged me to ring the doorbell of 7A again. I did and a lady finally answered. She kind of stood there and just looked at me for a while. I smiled and made an opening motion with my hand hoping she would let me in. (All these apartments have two doors. One regular door and then another front gate over the front door that must be opened before one can enter.)
This didn’t look like Rain though. In fact, it didn’t look like anyone I had seen on the website. It could have been Wong Yin, but Wong Lin had longer hair that wasn’t as curly. Still, she was cute enough to do as long as she would just let me in! And she did! Woohoo! I was about to have my first 1-4-1 session.

I will briefly describe the room now and not do so subsequently throughout the report. Most of the rooms I visited followed this basic formula with few exceptions. (I will have pictures in a later chapter!) First off, most of these rooms are quite small. (Most are probably 10x10, if that) The room will usually include a stack of towels, a combo toilet/shower, a television tuned to the closed circuit cameras located outside, a bed and some small cabinets for personal belongings and clothes of the lady. That is usually it. The toilet will also be stocked with a variety of cleaning supplies and the shower usually consists of those electric heated showers like this:
http://www.victoriaplumb.com/victoriaplumb_com_Electric_Showers_126.html
Upon entering Wong Yin immediately grabbed for some paper and wrote down $700. I immediately pulled out my printout (which I think had her on it) and pointed to the $480 price ($61 US) listed there. She relented and seemed to agree with that.
She then immediately started grabbing my dick through my pants and started to get me hard. We then undressed and went to the showers. She showered me completely paying special attention to my dick (this would also be rather common) and then handed me a towel when she finished washing me to dry off with. Then she proceeded to clean up herself before joining me on the bed.
She again went for the dick with her hands and I started sucking on her rather nice and large titties. Since I saw her clean out her pussy I eventually made my way down for some DATY action on her which she really seemed to enjoy. I tried to get her to return the favor to me, but she would only provide a CBJ in return. The CBJ was ok, but a little short. I brought out some Vigel and got her even wetter with that as I applied and rubbed her clit with it.
I then entered her in missionary after playing with her clit a little more with the tip of my dick. While fucking her in missionary I tried to kiss her a couple of times only to have her turn her head away each time. (This would also be a theme among most 1-4-1 ladies). She got on and rode for a while, taking advantage of the Vigel. Then I finished her off in doggie. I thought I was going to pop pretty quickly given the buildup for this trip, but I was able to last a while.
Overall, I would have to rate the session as only slightly above a regular TJ session. What makes it better was that I never felt rushed at all and she was rather accommodating overall. She wasn’t exactly a starfish and there was some good feedback during the session. However, there was still no kissing and the CBJ. It was decent time, but not really great.
It was approaching 2am by now, but I wasn’t as tired now. I must have been running on adrenaline because I didn’t want to call it a night yet. Another 1-4-1 was out of the question, but I started walking a bit. I think I was walking east along Prat or Hart Road toward Chatham. I didn’t realize it at the time, but at this point I was really close to my hotel and could have walked back there if I had known the way. I was probably only 200 to 300 yards away.
While walking along that road, I noticed a lot of small bars blaring music. One waitress came out of the bar and made a drinking gesture with her hand while saying “beer” and inviting me in. I declined and kept walking. When I got to the intersection at Chatham Road, I got into a cab and said, “Wan Chai.” I figured I would check out Dusk Till Dawn or some of the other bars in that area.
We made our way under the Cross-Harbour Tunnel from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island. It costs $10 HKD to cross and you have to pay for the taxi’s return trip as well so $20 HKD will be added to your fare. I didn’t know where exactly in Wan Chai I was going, but luckily I got dropped off right on the corner of Fenwick Road and Jaffe Road, which is right where you want to be to find all the action.
I wanted to check out Laguna which is located along Fenwick Road between Lockhart and Jaffe Road, but it was closed. So I started heading up Fenwick towards Lockhart and noticed a place called “The Groovy Mule.” This was on the southwest corner of Fenwick and Lockhart. It was kind of an expat place though as there were a bunch of white chicks and white guys hanging out and dancing. I had a $47 HKD Carlsburg beer and then took off.
I headed back down to Jaffe Road and started heading east. That is when I found Dusk Till Dawn.
Dusk Till Dawn
76-84 Jaffe Road
Wan Chai
Phone: 2528-4689
Hours: Monday Through Thursday: Noon to 6:00am, Friday and Saturday: Noon to 7:00am, Sunday: 3:00pm to 5:00am. Happy Hour: 5:00pm to 10:00pm Daily
This place was packed around 2:00am and I could barely move once I got inside. The dance floor was crowded and there was a live band playing. Again I go back to flashes from The Matrix in Makati with a Filipino cover band doing Black Eyed Peas and other American hits. It was pretty much the same thing at Dusk Till Dawn. I made my way to the bar and got a beer and then just hung out for a while. There was a varied crowd there and some decent looking women, but nothing stunning.
I finally got approached to dance by a Filipina gal from Pampanga. Soon she was grinding against on me the dance floor trying to get me all excited. We danced for a while and during a break a friend called her. Her friend wanted to go to Fenwick right down the street and they invited me to come along. Ilene claimed to be 21, but I thought she was older. She said she had been working in Hong Kong for two months, but that her friend (who had just called her) had been working there for four years.
Fenwick
41 Lockhart Road (Basement, East Town Building)
Wan Chai
Phone: 2861-1669
Hours: 5:00pm to Late, Happy Hour 5:00pm to 10:00pm
We headed over to Fenwick which is right close by and is on the southeast corner of Jaffe and Fenwick Road. Actually, the bar/building spans the entire block and you can enter from either the north side on Jaffe Road or the south side from Lockhart Road. It is quite roomy inside with many tables and booths. The dance floor and band play on the south side of the building towards Lockhart Road. The three of us grab a seat at a booth and I order a round of drinks. Be warned, they are not cheap. I can’t say for sure, but I think the ladies get some sort of commission on the drinks there. They don’t work for the bar, but they must make money by bringing people there and getting guys to buy them drinks. I think a round of drinks for both me and the two ladies was close to $160 HKD or $20 US.
After a round of drinks we started making out a little and I also snapped a few pictures of her. She started off the negotiation by asking if I knew the deal and I said I did. She wanted $1000 HKD or $128 US. I could have countered, but I was getting tired again and I wasn’t really that attracted to her to begin with. I probably could have done her, but there was no way I was paying $128 US for Pampanga pussy since I’ve been to Pampanga and I know how much pussy there costs.

I told her I wasn’t going to take her and she got all pissed off saying she had just wasted her time. I was tired anyway and wasn’t planning on doing a second; I mainly just wanted to get a glimpse of the Wan Chai scene before heading back to the hotel. So I called it a night and grabbed a taxi back to the Regal Kowloon. (I was sure to grab a card from the front desk before I left.) It cost about $70 HKD or $9 US (including tolls) to get back to the hotel from Wan Chai.
I recorded some notes and practically fell asleep doing so. I think I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I am sure putting together such well organized, detailed, and useful TR is a passion for you. But I think it won't hurt to tell you how much your efforts are appreciated, and how much you reports help other travelers who follow in your footsteps. Plus you always seem to have great taste in women. My only hope is that you don't get to Indonesia before I put together a Trip Report/Guide to Batam (which I am already working on) and then possibly Jarkarta (if I like it as much as I expect to.) If you beat me there, I will never be able to do the job that you do. Hey maybe you should go there so I can free ride on the report you would write.
Oh by the way, the 1000HKD for the Wan Chai freelancer sounds in line with what I experienced as a decent price. I always meet local expats sayong hold the line at 700 or 800, but I have never seen any of the said expats close a deal.
By Merlin on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 01:23 pm: Edit |
Dittos Xen, I agree with MongerX about how much we truly appreciate your consistently useful TRs.
I also discovered a few of the 141 girls were not as advertised, but nevertheless "doable". The mystery and difficulty of finding some of these places comes out well in your report. Nevertheless, got a lot of good walking exercise, and a couple of my better experiences resulted from 141 sessions.
As for Wan Chai, wow, the asking price for the girls at Wanchai is astonishing, especially considering the 141 girls and Mongkok were about 350HK. I know you could've countered, but I'm the going rate would have been about 700-800HK.

I don't believe there is an honest attempt at deceptive advertising at the 1-4-1's. I think the ladies go and go so quickly and change so quickly that sometimes the website or the operators of the 1-4-1 cannot keep up.
I have some more interesting stories from Wan Chai to tell along with my adventures with OrionX who I meet there later in the trip.
1-4-1 building finding becomes quite a skill I develop. I guess it is just like anything else, practice makes perfect. I have another funny story later on with a cop and stranger helping me to get laid.
Thank you both for the kind comments about the report.

Looks like you had fun over there. I enjoyed following your travels on the threaded board - however the advantage of the TRs is we get to see PICS BABY, YEAH!!
BTW, I took a look at the pics of that Pinay freelancer and I tell you right now I would not have paid her bar for $18US, there's NO WAY I'd fuck her for $125US!! Hell, I'll bang my fist before I pay THAT MUCH for an ugly girl. Shit - I can pay a little more here in LA and not bother with the long flight... such a deal, eh?

Xen,
Gold-medal Trip Report as per usual; love the details. Glad you enjoyed the train in from the airport. I get so pissed riding the brand-new AirTrains to Newark and JFK - so badly designed and they were designed AFTER the one in Hong Kong was built. Should have just copied their's. Didn't know about the shuttle bus service - I just took a taxi to the hotel.
I agree with you about not thinking the advertising is deceptive for the 1-4-1s. The turnover must be real fast and they aren't that concerned with updating the info.
Looking forward to the rest.

Epi,
Indeed. I was a little surprised at her with her looks and quoting that much. She probably would have been a bad lay as well.
WS,
I remember us talking in BKK about the MTR from the airport to Kowloon and how well organized and convenient it was. I also remember getting stuck in the turnstile with my bag while trying to enter the subways in New York that run to the airport. Ahh well...What can we do?
By Orionx on Friday, June 25, 2004 - 02:48 am: Edit |
I see you've started your posts Xen. Very nice. Man I wish I would have seen that one with the big tits in the 1-4-1 scene! I think you told me about her... Also some girls in 1-4-1 scene are not that great but I had one that was absolutely incredible. She actually started following me around and left her work and want to be with me (which they can get in big trouble for). When I first met her she opened the door and I thought she was going to close it on me (the way she looked at me) but then she draged me in and started talking non-stop Chinese and pointing at some poster hanging on her wall with an America man and woman making love. I think she thought I was her dream come true or something. Anyway I would have stayed with that one for a long time cause I really liked her but she didn't speak any English at all, she didn't even know what America was or meant! We always had a translator from my hotel talk for us. The translator also told me that she had only been in Hong Kong for 2 days for the first time and she wanted to marry me. I left that girl but I went back to her 1-4-1 place and she was gone. To this day I still wonder in I F'd up, because she was so pretty and genuine!
BTW- Hong Kong is a little more expensive but it's got a certain vibe and atmostphere that make it really fun, esspecially in Wan Chai.
By Xenono on Friday, June 25, 2004 - 10:07 pm: Edit |
OrionX! Glad you are safe and still around. I remember you telling me that story in HK.
BTW, what is the scoop on Princess? Did it ever work out? In about a week her photo should be going up and I will be telling the story of that night that could have been and you banging her best friend instead...
