1 Day in Zhuhai

Once you go through the custom, you will be greeted with many people who would like to put you on the expensive taxi or direct to the hotel that they are selling. First thing you should do is to ignore them and follow the previously reported route. You will see big under ground mall entrance and you should take escalator to go there.
Then just follow the direction as the previous report, you should be able to get to the freelancer alley within 10 minutes or so.

* Hotel
I stayed in Min An hotel. This hotel is not as good as the Lisboa in Macau or the Miraton in Changping. Think of it as Days Inn somewhere in the suburb. They charged 296 RBM$ per night. Since I paid with cash this time, they took 500 RBM$ as a deposit and the time I check out, they give me back the 204 RBM$.
Luckily I exchanged some of my remaining HK$ to RBM$ at the border and this was good thing since later on I found out that exchange booth is very rare in Zhuhai or ChangPing and so you are forced to use the hotel, which is not the good exchange rate.

* Sauna
The Min An hotel¡¯s location is good since it is right where the freelancer outdoor bar is located. As soon as I checked in, I walked out to check out the area. This is busy area with shops and restaurant and I can see many freelancers right there already approaching and asking. I continue to walk about 5 minute and on my right side, I found Jin Yu hotel. I remembered from the report that this hotel has sauna on the 3rd floor so I went.

I paid 350 RMB$ for total. I rejected the first line up just because I wanted to see what happen then I picked one cute girl from 2nd line up. She did all the usual course and the red rope treatment. I found out the Red Rope thing is noting more than what we call ¡°Love Swing¡± in US. She is suspended in the air by sitting on this rope and you do her standing.

* Freelancer
After nice session, I head back to outdoor bar area. Already getting dark, I see many small vendors on the street. While I was browsing and grabbing some street ¡°SUSHIKEBOB¡±, I was again approached by many girls. I remember back in Macau, all the girl was asking ¡°Zhou ma?¡± (You go?) but here they ask ¡°Keh Yi ma¡± (May I go?). I see the difference already and I like their attitude. I say ¡°Keh Yi¡± to one of them and we go back to hotel. After a very nice GFE type session with no rush (300 RMB$), I came out the hotel and when I was just about to pick another one, I notice European looking girl sitting alone at one of the bar. Turns out she is visiting but available. I thought about it but said bye because I am in China and it was enough that I already did Russian once in Macau.

I picked another cute one and told her that I would take her but want to go to massage first. She took me to massage place which was just around the corner. We were placed in private room with 2 beds and two female came in to massage me and my girl. For about 1 hour full body massage, I think I paid about 80 RMB$ or so.
Now that I gained some of my strengh back, I took her back to the hotel. After again nice GFE, we did 2 times in an about 2-3 hours, she then asks me for her to stay over night. I was tired by then and did not want to pay additional 500 RMB$ for over night when I know that I am all drained and I want early start to ChangPing the next day.

Later on when I got to ChangPing, I was glad that I only stayed one day in Zhuhai. Although Zhuhai is nice place to be, I personally would skip the Zhuhai and head directly to ChangPing.

I think you are very brave doing China on your own its not an easy place if you have no Chinese. So far you seem to have done very well!
