Hong Kong Club Reports

[Nothing24]

I went through the SENTRI lane without a SENTRI card once. They sent me to secondary and gave me a lecture about how, if I did it again, they might impound my car and fine me USD $10,000.

Thats BS, you actually get 3 strikes if you're traveling by car without the sentri pass. I accidentally went through sentri lane a few months ago thinking it was ready lane. The customs agent said if I did it 2 more times I would get fined thousands of dollars, I forget how much, I think five. He gave me a small sheet with details, don't think I have it anymore though. I guess they're willing to accept you going through sentri lane by accident twice, but three times and it's no longer an accident.

Anyways, went to HK this past Wednesday night around 8-9 pm. To my surprise there was an abundance of girls working in the club. Way more than any other time I can recall around the holidays. Even saw a couple of my top preferred girls working but I was in the mood for something new. Unfortunately didn't catch the right vibe with any of them. Most girls were actually just hanging around seemingly not interested in convincing mongers to take them upstairs. Kind of weird considering everyone can always use some cash around the holidays. I asked a few how much for arriba just to stir up some conversation and they all quoted $100 firm. I took pleasure in laughing in all of their faces and scoffing at their quotes especially considering they want to charge $30 standard room rates now. We must all hold strong at $80 MAX. Tip can be negotiated depending on their performance. Otherwise I would rather evaluate the talent on the streets. Some diamonds in the rough out there once in a while for a fraction of HK prices.

This was via pedestrian entry to US. Not auto right?

Has anyone experienced the border agents allowing them to go through without Sentri / global-entry card?

The HK shuttle dropped me off at the corner of a street and told me which way to walk. There was a really long line of Mexicans, but I saw this Asian guy with a suitcase just bypassing the line of Mexicans, so I followed him. Without sentry and I supposed to line up in the same line as the Mexicans? Or is there a separate US citizen line? I have only done research on putas and very little on border crossing etc jaja.

It can be difficult to process and remember that most of the people in line are Americans. It took me years to spend spend a minute to think about it. Basically once covid hit and the line looks like same people then you know most are Americans. Because Mexicans weren't allowed in. Or they are dual citizenship. You are supposed to stand in line at the back. Now, many days I waited 4 hours in line and saw couples beg to go through without sentri and they were permitted. Especially when 1 at least had sentri. On very rare occasions only once that I saw, they had a 3rd line for Americans. I do not think, that right now the policy is to let Americans cut the line. It was more likely the guy didn't take you as a daily visitor and just figured he would be nice.

Likely the border agents that let him through Sentri mistook the passport card for a Global Access card, as they look similar and between the two gates one must navigate, it is usually 20+ meters from where they waive you through.

I think that he just got lucky, as I have seen the border agents challenge Sentri / GE card holders at the two gates.

I agree, I just took the HK shuttle back to the border. Then skipped the long line by going to the sentry line. Even though I don't have sentry, the border agent just let me through.

Sounds like he walked through, because he took the HK shuttle to the border.

I too take the shuttle to the border and walk into USA.

The shuttle stop ends out of sight of the place where the border guards are. You need to walk around a curved path about 1000 ft or so.

So the guard has no idea how you got there because the shuttle does not stop anywhere in sight of the border guard.

I am pleased to hear the guard let him walk through without waiting in line.

Will try that in the future if I take friends without the card.

Correct, through the pedestrian line. Yes, the border agent let me through with just a passport card, he paused a bit, then waved me through.

I drive in about once a week, because I need my car for my non-monger activities.

Crossing back can take hours, and if you're driving around late at night in some tourist area, I think you're a bit more likely to get stopped by the cops. But aside from one time when I was driving drunk, it's never been a real problem.

[WombatEd2]

all my visits have been drive-through. Is there a risk I've been taking without realizing it??

I've read many folks walk across.

Oddly, all my visits have been drive-through. Is there a risk I've been taking without realizing it??

Nah, just increases the amount of crap you can get from cops and possible wait time at the border.

I always drive across. I do my business down in Tijuana, park my car somewhere (like the hotel I'm staying at overnight) and Uber or Taxi over to the Zona, and then leave.

I had the same exact experience when I first crossed the frontera with the Mexicans, as I can pass for one. I also hesitated and briefly stood in line for the X-ray machine. Luckily I had a wingman with me more familiar with the process, and he quickly told me to keep moving. Nobody stopped us, and now I know what to do next time.

"1) Crossing into Mexico, why go through the foreigner line? I walk in the Mexican line and never get questioned. Of course I am not a gringo (have been mistaken for Italian)."

Additionally as was pointed out to me by a helpful attractive young woman crossing into MEX same time as me is that if you do not even need to stand-in line to have your man purse or smaller bags X-rayed, can breeze right through. I was hesitant at first with soldiers with large rifles in view but she guided me through to walk right past x-ray machine. Wow! You meet some incredibly nice and sincere MEX citizens along the way!

Back packs and larger they expect to go thru X-ray machine.

BlackThought.

When HK opened back up in March 2021, there was a flurry of guys taking girls upstairs in those weekends. The line of guys and girls heading out the door was steady, non stop at prime time. Girls would skip the time-consuming ficha drinking bullshit and wanted to go upstairs quickly to make real money. My guess was, guys were spending saved up stimulus and unemployment money.

By about June, I noticed a sharp drop off in arribas, not too many girls were taken upstairs, even the top tiereds were hanging around the club all night. Arribas have been slow after that until the end of November when I took off for South America. A few HK girls went to the streets to work for lower but more steady rates; some just quit and went home, some kept asking me when my big-spending wingmen return ect. Business must be bad for them.

Locals negotiate details of prices and services with the girls. Girls who don't negotiate are likely cold, difficult and nasty star fish in bed. Tell the chicas "no mas dineros" and haggle for 1,000 or 1,200 con propina. If the chicas think they cannot pry more money out of you, they would go with your deal. If the chicas are sweethearts in bed, give them good propinas. They will remember you and you will have a group of regulars who are happy to repeat with you and give you good services in bed.

Thanks for the insight / tips. I found a keeper on my last trip, so will be repeating with her for TLN. She told me her hourly rate was $180 USD, but accepted my $300 USD offer for 5 hours (ended it at 4 hours as I was getting way too sleepy and had a long drive ahead of me that day). She provided GFE, I normally don't care for GFE but I was a wounded animal that needed TLC after being drugged by that stinky fish Freija jajaja.
