I was in Mong Kok earlier looking at cameras, I arrived half an hour before most shops opened so I decided to have a look at some of the hardware stores around shanghai and reclamation st. most of which are open quite early.   Anyway, I passed by a few of the walkups so I decided to go up one to kill time. I can't remember which one but the signs were in english and it was in reclamation st (i know that doesn't narrow it down).  When talking with the guy, he told me the prices but I was surprised to find out the quoted prices were for 30min sessions so i walked away.  I went up another one, this time the guy spoke no english but he was able to communicate the duration by pointing to the clock on the wall..

I haven't been in over four, maybe five years so i'm not up to date on the prices or duration changes so when did the mong kok area walkups change form 45 to 30 minutes or was it a coincidence I happened to walk up the two brothels in mk that offer services 15 minutes shorter than what I'm used to?

are you talking about walk ups or brothels ?

I honestly don't know the difference.  The ones with signs outsite stating nationality and price usually with neon lights.

Yeah, first time i heard this was when i was with Molly, Kam Bong Bldg, Sheung Wan and she too told me a session was 30mins. Anybody else experience this?

for walk ups most girls are still 45 mins but for the girls who charges less then the prevailing rates they are usually 30 mins - prevailing rates are $450+ now days

illwill2 - brothels are illegal, walk ups are not
walk ups do not have keepers asking you what type of girl you want - for walk ups, you walk up to a room and you see what you get or you go to another room

I'd always referred to them as walkups, the ones around shanghai, reclamation st. and that general area with signs and neon lights, and I'd always thought they were legal since they are all over the place (in that general area) and seem to be in plain view.

Anyway, anymore info regarding the pricing and duration for those establishments would be appreciated.

i think he is referring to places similar to 37D. which are really brothels and not walk ups.
The places where you get to choose from a line up
although illegal, they do exists.

What! You mean the $600 dollies in KB are charging for 30 mins? Pardon my public skool math but that's $1200/Hr.  I have sampled  3 $600 KB dollies and the service provided at that price was not worth the premium paid IMHO.

Correct. I had always been under the impression these were legal. I had been carded before where they took the girl but let me go after checking my hkid card.

That's crazy; I would just go punting somewhere near like Prince Edward or Shum Shui Po, they still charge only $400 for 45min. I know the Ki Lung place charges $300 for 45min, and there's hot WG's there as well; though most of them do not speak english, but great places to go if you know canto.

How do I ask duration in cantonese and how do you say forty five mins or how many mins?  I did a search for this a while back but can't seem to find the post with the answeres anymore. I should have written it down.

I've been looking at the girls on the db and it seems there are also less of them advertising the duration.

First time I went to 37D the mamasan asked me if I was a first timer. I answered yes. She said 530$ for 30 minutes, I replied "do you mean 45 minutes?", she replied back "yes 45 minutes". Lost in translation but not dumb.

in my experience, the better rooms are in the places on Shanghai Street. and often they have "45" written in roman numerals on the door. same prices.

some places will have a menu and charge a premium for the 45. they will also have different prices for different nationalities: the "Malaysian" girls who are of course Thai are less expensive. this was my standby before i discovered 141.

K-Pressure and 37D are great benchmarks as they give you 45 minutes, emphasis is on service and they want repeat business. K-Pressure has bigger rooms. these establishments are also accustomed to gwailo customers, if that's relevant. but the techs won't speak much English.

Which joint has better looking gals in your opinion D37 or K?

it's not so much about looks as service. the setup is a bit different tho...

at K-P, they bring in one gal, and she tries to persuade u to choose her. she will get cozy, probably get all up in your junk, maybe slip her tongue into your mouth. the room's dark, but u get an idea ofwhat the lady's like. some can be very persuasive, but if she's not your type, let her know, and be polite and THANK her as she leaves. i always say "sheh sheh nie" and get a "buh ka chi" in return.

if she suits, by all means, say OK! if not, ask for a change. the word is "change"...tell the MMS. don't think yr under any obligation to pick the first girl they send in.

at 37D, *unless* they're busy, u may wait for awhile, up to ten minutes, then they bring in four girls or so. i like the lineup-routine, but as the room's dark and yr suddenly surrounded, it can be a bit intimidating. if u can speak minimal Chinese (Canto or Mando) and make a joke or whatever, u buy a little time. but one of the four will likely flip your YES!-switch.

i guess the slight edge on "pretty girls" goes to 37D, but it depends. i know the shift-change at K-P is at 18:00, so that might be a good time to go. again tho, these places are about service, and repeat business. u won't get a bunch of drama--u will get a nice long BBBJ. i'd skip the air-mattress-routine at K-P, they'll point to it when cleaning u up, just shake yr head.

if u want a gal that meets yr criteria for physical attraction, trawl the hotel-girl section and look for real fotos. DB photos are not accurate. and put that photo on yr phone--bait-and-switch (B&S) is not uncommon. you'll also pay more, but some of the HGs are real stunners. it's good to have someone who speaks Chinese set up the appointment for u, but many agents speak English, in either case, confirm that u want the specific gal, name her, say yr schedule's flexible and u want THAT girl. then when u get a booking, show up on time!
