Remember this rule:
If in doubt, walk away. Was it the local television programming which showed female officers trying to entrap Johns? Personally, I think it's actually much easier and safer in HK to pick SWs. Take a walk around Temple street and scout ahead. The police and customs are more concerned about illegals in Hong Kong than the actual street walkers. If and if there is any action, it's mostly targeted at the MK brothels and sweep for illegals and pimps.
HK is unlike the Scandanavian countries and North Americas, Johns are perpetrators but local government target the "OMG MORAL DECLINE FAMILY BREAKING WHORES!!!" with that kind of mentality.
slightly
When I was in Shenzhen, I was chatting with friend of mine in English and we kept on getting pestered but pimps to have "fun time with little miss". My friend was awesome and he gave a serious reply
"No, we want little boys". I think all those pimps went
and we were undisturbed for the rest of the day
I hope this line works when I go traveling but hopefully won't be arrested for being a homo (I'm loooking at you, Iran, the country with no homos
)
