Some more updates on Orchard Towers.

- Ipanema, on a weekday, had lots of talent - all viets. Punters:Girls ratio was roughly 1:3. Take out was ~300 ST. Range for LT was 400 to 600. Other than the lack of variety, the vibe was similar to Brix. Depends on chemistry but girls will generally approach you to make small talk - you can then engage as you wish.

- Was told that the bars are categorised by nationalities of the WGs. Ipanema is for viets and there are a similar bars for russians and filipinas (did not explore other than ipanema).

- There seem to be other outlets (massage, beauty, etc) but looked shady so did not explore.

Keep the Ks coming.

As a bit of context, Brix was the bar under the Hyatt with generally better dressed better looking girls at 500+. Also more range of nationalities. As the hotel is under renovation, many of the girls now go to Ipanema. They will try for the Brix prices but as a rule you will find that Ipanema prices are often 300 for ST, or thereabouts.

The sheer volume of girls (mostly Viet) in Ipanema is amazing versus what we see these days in HK. And if you like girls that look a bit more "Chinese", you will find Viet girls gorgeous. I'd also say 80% of them have fake tits. With the girls here, be sure to negotiate BBBJ if important to you, particularly with the younger ones.

My tip is to get a drink and stay by the bar as it gets the most traffic and has the most light so you can see the girls and see how they engage. Most of the girls won't drink or socialize much but if you commit to her for the night, some of them will basically be your gf for the night. Depends on the chemistry. If you go with a friend or two can actually be quite fun to party with a few girls.

Note also girls sitting with bottles I think are incentives to stay at the bar to look pretty and busy and are harder to take home.

Finally, some girls don't hustle and don't seem to care much. Sitting on the side or in the corner playing games. If you like the look of one, just approach her. There is no correlation between her lack of hustle versus service. Last time I was there I picked a shy spinner in the corner. Her English wasn't great but man could she ride cock.

Enjoy!
