I was in a raid in TST.
I've gone out with a couple of guys who are ABC's or similar UK or Canada etc. Normally they do LKF, then when everyone is done, I pretend to go home and head to wanchai 
It works well, I get to bond with the guys, watch them waste HOURS trying to pick up chicks, look at some fine women, then after that's done I head to WC to have real fun.
We usually go to the same place, but Saturday nite, one of the guys got a tip from a buddy that a bunch of girls were getting together for a bray or party and the ratio was going to be awesome.
The plan started out normal until our leader got a call saying the venue changed from LKF to TST.
Puts me further from my final destination but it's ok. We head to TST but don't know the exact address and have to waitan hour for further instructions.
Finally we are lead into a building and climb Several flights of stairs and lead to a tiny hole in the wall place. My buddy climbing the stairs kept sounding like A old star wars character with his, "I got a bad feeling about this."
I was somewhat interested in a "local" experience, more curious then anything.
This place has a $320 cover charge and paper wrist bands. I guess that the $320 covered all u can drink cuz I didn't pull out anymore money while there.
The surprising thing was how lame the vibe was. We were doing clubs inLKF so this was a bit of a shock to the system.
Cramped place, sharing tables with strangers who are smoking in a a small area with no ventilation, who are playing a dice game while the music is an absolutely deafening ear splitting awful karaoke.
When we did finally move to another table it was underneath the dartboard so there was an ever present danger of getting a dart lodged in your ear depending how poor were the drunk people's aim.
The best part of all??? No chicks. Bad intel.
So being an english speaking fool I can't understand a goddamn thing anyone is saying and all I can think about is I could be in wan chai with a girl in my lap right now that I could be pounding in Victoria hotel a short time after.
I had a buddy with me closer to my age that has no time for these single guys and their boring cat and mouse chases, and so I told him I have a girl already lined up for him in WC if wants to go with me. I can trust him, so I'd take him but not the other guys that gossip like school girls.
My buddy was asking for patience cuz the bad intel guy was promising women but every second was torture.
Just when I thought things could not get any worse, it did...
The awful karaoke comes to a screeching halt and the lights turn on, amongst loud shouting and protest.
Im told cops are here but their uniforms are subtle, they have a thin vest over their shirt and a name tag, like the kind you see the guys wear who have backstage passes during a concert.
One belligerent fool in a private room with a host of people, gets tossed, everyone else is quiet.
I read something about raids on this forum, I was extremely chill cuz of that thread. Kudos to whomever posted that, cuz it was helpful.
My only thinking was....why the fuck are they busting up a little shithole karaoke bar in some random building on some random floor.
There were no girls there, just a few regular local civvy girls, the ratio was pathetic and their looks were worse, especially when the lights came on.
Took 20 min to collect ID, I used my USA drivers license, worked out better than HKID, cuz my buddy is from US as well, and we get ours back immediately. He said the cops don't want to bother with the foreigners anyway.
After 20 min they leave and everything is normal.
needless to say it was a serious buzz I'll and. Wasn't even buzzed yet.
Seriously the cops have nothing to do then bust this random shithole? What were they looking for anyway! U don't have to turn on the lights to realize there is not a chance in hell a WG would waste her time in this place.
Finally 1 girl showed up and our leader wanted to stay. I guess forking over the cover and getting the unlimited beer was too much for him to leave.
My buddy asked for 5 min, cuz bad intel guy said ladies were downstairs and on the way. A couple of awfully slow minutes later a couple fugly chicks walk in. My buddy finally loses his patience and we walk out.
Within 20 minutes we are both in a bar with a girl in our laps drinking beers and toasting each other. My buddy cant believe half the girls seem to know me by name and even the security guards know me. Many hours later after round 4 with my steady girl I reflect on what started out as an awful nite turned out pretty well.
I love Hong Kong! | |
