I'm sure your right. I have been with WGs in other countries that I can't speak with. Good time, but always better with some communication.
I have only ever tried Hotel Reservation girls in HKG. When I did, I thought that meant they would come to my hotel.
If the guy on the phone couldn't speak english, obviously no soup for me.
Only when I started reading the forum, did I understand HG concept.
Couldn't understand why I always had to pay cab fare? Oh well
Can't wait to get back to HKG with new found knowledge
