Do any of you guys get the Mongering blues?  I'm tellin you I had it bad this last time.  I haven't been able to logon to 141 for months.  I watch those youtube videos of 18 over and over again.  Stare at pictures of the lineups from D1, and Rio, just remembering how good it feels to have your pick of pleasure for 60mins (or 90 in the case of D1).  

I even had a dream the other night that I was in Macau for some reason, and in my dream I had made sure that I had to goto a sauna at least once before I left.  The disapointment upon waking up and realizing I was on the other side of the planet from Macau just made me want to weep to myself in my room.

I just booked a flight out to HK, and can't wait to get back out to monger .  Decided to actually post on 141, maybe exchange some info with some fellow hobbyists, and I'd like to think can't be too well informed when it comes to our at times dangerous activities.

Did you fall in love with a girl in HK?  

I miss the gogos, saunas, bars, massage parlors I have visited in HK, BKK, Macau and China but I don't need to "weep to myself"  to get back to sleep.  Wherever u live, I think you need to find a source of relief.  Any chance I get to monger is just a great bonus for me every time.  Maybe a bit of prozac might do you some good.

Moving this to the chat section since it's more appropriate there.

i got it in a different way...

just the last few times when i had average experiences - down to the WG and partly mine - and also the realization of how much money i was using on this hobby. It can be addictive but also leave a nasty taste in your mouth sometimes.

I did try to figure out how much I have spent on mongering and that can be a bit startling.  Even without cost of flights and hotel ( which I figure I would spend anyway on a vacation) the cost is near 5 figures usd.

you must have started recently !

twiceAweek,

not sure what you mean.  am i spending more or less than a long time monger?  The 5 figure was for 1 year, not my total spending since I started

Wow 5 figures USD for a year?  I'm on a limited budget.  For the trip I'm going to take, I'm going to limit myself to 4-5k and that's HKD.   You must be ballin.  How does your SO not find out when 5 figures is gone from the bank account?

5 figures is about right the last two years.  It is a bit inflated bc most of it was done at the fkks is Germany.  Each nightwould cost $400-500 and I did these a lot.  Add a couple of trips to thailand or hong kong/Macau, that would be another2 to 3k.  Finally add what I spend at home it all adds up to some serious spending. These costs will drop now bc inhabe fewer trips to germany and now have a freebie in china.

It's a bit sobering to actually calculate all the money I spent.  I should be cutting these down the next couple of years.

4-5k hkd seems a bit light to party in hk. Even in Thailand, that would only last me a few days.  If u are flying in from the US the flights will be $800+. Why spend that much on a flight and then only budget half that on mongering?  It also eliminates the Macau sauna which would cost about a third to half of your budget.

Alright bro jayleesf.....Mongering is quite addictive.. ..And it can be quite expensive as well depending on where you decide to monger...My advice is to work out a budget and not to over spend which will involve getting caught out by the other half....
