I hate to break it to you, but you're actually arriving after the party's over. Reality is most of the DH will be rushing home for a curfew any time around 8pm to 10pm. You can still find some stragglers that time on a Sunday, so go for it anyway, but you'll have to move fast.
Where to go? I strongly suggest you read reports, it's not just useful intel, you'll start to feel and behave like a local, and your learning curve will be faster. Some suggestions: New Makati, Escape, Insiders are fairly proven - each has its own flavour. No substitute for reading reports, the small details you pick up make all the difference.
Protocol is pretty much
walk in
look around to QUICKLY set priorities
establish eye contact
initiate conversation
read her mood and go from there
If you know how to flirt, and / or make a girl laugh, you're ahead in the game. And if you don't, learn how, it's pretty much all you need to know about 'protocol'!
Oh, and do make a point of buying yourself a drink, as a "thank you" to the bar for providing the venue. Don't be a freeloading jerk, who causes them to impose a cover charge.
If she's working she'll tell you very early, and you can decide if you want to negotiate
If she simply asks for a drink she's probably neither working nor looking for sex, just for a commission from the bar
Unless she's drinking beer, or orange juice - the bar doesn't pay commission on cheap drinks - in which case she's genuinely interested in you
Again, be mentally prepared that you'll probably find it too late to pick up a civvy DH that late on a Sunday, so you should have a fall-back plan for what to do with your evening and your blue balls, or simply treat it as reconnaisance the first night. From that standpoint, go for it anyway, and respond to what you find.
That covers it for maids
Tourists? If you find a female tourist looking for action in WanChai on a Sunday I'll eat my hat. They have WAY too much competition, and the majority of civvies hate the place. Maybe try LKF ... but the odds are long. I'm told Dragon-I is a place where hot girls go specifically to meet hot guys. Are you hot? If not, are you rich enough to act like you're rich? | |
