Hong Kong Club Reports

[VinnyHewson]

Appreciate the responses to this message. Will act on everyone's advice! Out of curiosity, when should I get to Hotel Cascadas to have a solid chance of actually getting my penthouse reservation? Looking deeper into this forum, some people have gotten there as early as 11 am. I'm hoping I can get in at 1 pm since it's a Monday.

Hi everyone,

I have made a Monday penthouse reservation at Hotel Cascadas under a fake name (no one prefers to give real names). Have people used fake names to make reservations and get successfully checked-in? Does their staff check the name on your reservation against a form of ID? My first time going, don't want them to screw me over!

Thanks,

Vin.

Don't usually post comments on trip reports, but this is one of the best, if not the best, I've ever read. It's well-written, informative, and humorous. I actually laughed out loud in a few spots. (Wish I could give it a "like" as well, but that isn't an option on this site.

This is great writing by a bro with good literary talent: factual, detailed, yet light-hearted, funny and entertaining to read. La Zona in Tijuana is indeed an open stage for lots of human comedies, as well as tragedies, by men and women pursuing their own life missions.

I think being in Tijuana more often, able to communicate with the girls at some levels, knowing a little about their backgrounds and personal lives, would bring out warmer feelings, hotter passion and better satisfaction with their companies.

While people have different immunity to various food-borne bacteria, the repeat food poisoning in Tijuana is a serious issue. Where were the most likely places that caused the illness? For 20 years I ate at La Perla many times, also other restaurants and food carts in La Zona just about every weekend, but only had a runny stomach once, likely caused by the exposed guacamole sauce at the HK's taco stand. We need to avoid sources that can ruin our fun, sexy vacations.

A couple of caveats. One is probably short term: The front elevator was out of service. I was on the fifth floor. I sweat when I look at pictures of warm places. Second, there was a price to pay for the luxury. I believe my whole neighborhood was double rooms and I was unique in having sole occupancy. I think some of those rooms had four guys in them. Not only did this make for a noisy environment but my particular neighbors sounded like teenagers coming south for their first non-related human sexual experience. It seemed that at least two rooms had at least one problem child each, maybe wanting to save himself for a wife, his mom, his sister or whatever or just ashamed about the fact that his dick had disappeared after taking a shower. There were many exhortations about, "Man up and ask her!" or "You're not coming back in this room without a chick to fuck!.

New Cascadas rooms are nice.

Teenagers are annoying.

Nickelback has its uses.

It's nice that Amtrak cleans its toilets.

I came down for my latest attempt to embrace the Tijuana scene, a Thursday through Sunday stopover before a train trip to the Midwest that was hastily thought up to provide cover for the Tijuana stopover. Flew into SAN and did the Bus 992 - Trolley thing to the border. Found out that the bus schedules are not actually what their website shows but they run every fifteen minutes or so so that is not big deal unless you way over-plan things. Got pesos next to McD's, took 906 bus to PedWest / Chapparal (I assume the new southbound crossing is also named Chaparral) and had a wonderful, line-free crossing. Thursday, about 2 PM. Must remember that. Walked to Cascadas: got to love that new crossing. No taxi hassles, and you can stop at Piri on the way if you need any pharmaceuticals.

Very detailed trip report. I have heard ear plugs are a good idea in Cascadas, but I didn't realize it would get loud enough to still wake you up even with ear plugs. Perhaps over the ear headphones in addition to ear plugs would work? Throw in some white noise or the Sleep with Me Podcast for good measure? There is something to be said about dulling the senses in a strange room in a sketchy neighborhood though.

Got the VIP card (no ID required in my case) which was already worth it just for the three day stay in the double room. Have until August to further amortize the purchase. As others have said, the Cascadas is always a crap shoot. I won this time. It was one of the new or remodeled rooms, much larger than the previous ones I've stayed in and immaculate except for two light switches that did nothing, one at each side of the beds. I suspect they are for not-installed lights hanging over the bedside tables. Plenty of hot water at all times so, since I'm sure the boiler didn't get upgraded, I must apologize to the other guests who are probably still probing their pubes with tweezers, trying to find their shriveled privates. I, on the other hand, was close to a scalded face: Yes, hot water, but no cold water at the sink. I certainly would not have crawled under the sink to adjust the feed taps since that certainly would not have been my job, so let's say that I ended up with hot and cold water through mysterious means.

There was a locked mini-fridge with refreshing beverages taunting from behind the glass and an equally locked safe. I went to the desk: One only had to ask for the safe key and for some guy to come unlock the fridge (Caution: Redbull = $5 US). The room deposit already covered them. The safe, though, was humorously small. It could swallow my mid-sized tablet, but it has to go in diagonally to clear the door frame. On the dresser was a small music system, perhaps designed as a PC sound system but also sporting SD card and USB inputs. I tested it with an SD card and it was adequate, if not concert quality.

A couple of caveats. One is probably short term: The front elevator was out of service. I was on the fifth floor. I sweat when I look at pictures of warm places. Second, there was a price to pay for the luxury. I believe my whole neighborhood was double rooms and I was unique in having sole occupancy. I think some of those rooms had four guys in them. Not only did this make for a noisy environment but my particular neighbors sounded like teenagers coming south for their first non-related human sexual experience. It seemed that at least two rooms had at least one problem child each, maybe wanting to save himself for a wife, his mom, his sister or whatever or just ashamed about the fact that his dick had disappeared after taking a shower. There were many exhortations about, "Man up and ask her!" or "You're not coming back in this room without a chick to fuck!

These discussions continued in the hall at a volume suggesting that they were being conducted with other adolescents at the far end of the corridor or across the street or back home in California. My room was at a three-way intersection which seemed to be Ground Zero for male inadequacy. I worried of contagion.

But enough about their lack of sex. On to mine! I looked briefly in HK when I arrived but the afternoon crew was unimpressive and I was sorely in need of sleep so I opted to return later. That evening was better, but not really great, and pretty crowded, as well. I got a good birds-eye view of the shaving cream extravaganza, staring right down on some nice lezzie tongue action. One of the girls looked passable although God only knows what shaving cream could conceal. On the other hand one might come out a bit ahead financially depending on what one found left behind up in there after the show: Dollar bills, rings, watches, maybe prosthetic hands providing a sex-and-hand-job experience. Sort of like chicken cordon bleu.

But the show continued interminably so my eyes wandered. Much of what they fell upon would better be forgotten, though we all know that is impossible. There was a blonde dancing on bar stage with what I dearly hope was an already steatopygic butt enhanced with Costco-sized silicone bags. As someone mentioned here a bit back, butt implants seem to be reaching epidemic levels in Tijuana lately. Big butts have never attracted me but I understand tastes vary: How else would one explain Kim Kardashian's search frequency on PornHub? This particular blonde, though, seemed to have swallowed a tire that ended up lodged sideways in there. The effect was so massive that I wondered about its gravitational field and whether a turd had to be expelled vigorously to attain escape velocity.

As is clear from the gravitational ruminations, there was not a lot of quality to focus my mind on. Eventually, though, my curiosity was piqued but a shapely butt on the stairs. The rest of the chica was concealed by the staircase and other girls, but the butt bore enough promise to lure me away from my eagle's nest; besides the show below had long ago progressed from the carpet licking stage to the digital age, where customer's digits were being inserted into the foam and points beyond.

The prospect turned out to be worth the climb down. Marjorie was not in any way a stunner but had no disqualifying qualities: average-to-thin, no huge tattoos, and a cute face with braces, the latter added here for identification purposes. I couldn't care less as long as they don't get in the way. I bought a couple of fichas and found her quite pleasant and quite English-limited, but through my very advanced system of occasional Spanish words and wild hand gestures we found common ground, a common ground that featured my bed. We agreed on $80 because that was her offer and I generally don't negotiate: if the price is within my acceptable limits I take it, if not I just move on. This, of course, often inadvertently becomes a negotiation when the chica lowers her price, but it was not the goal.

The sticker shock came next: Something like $18 for a condom at Cascadas. Of course it was because they did not see my fine Cascadas wristband and were charging for the room. That was easily settled and we were off to the room. Unwrapped she was still pleasant to look at with smallish tits with nicely formed nips and still no fat lurking about. I showered; she did not. I've noticed this before with most, maybe all of my Tijuana conquests. So different from my usual Thai and Philippines frolics. I suppose the idea is that they did shower after the last session or before coming to work or the day before or whatever but God only knows what activities those privates have been involved in since. Not the end of the world: it just takes DATY off the menu and that is far from a favorite of mine, anyway.

Other major difference: Everything was covered, even the warm up HJ. No, I did not ask up front: I always know it is a crap shoot and just roll the dice. I have real problems with sensitivity but know that for FS it's going to be covered no matter what. I did find a new favorite condom for this trip, though, the in my case rather deceptively named "Big Boy". So on went a Big Boy and after some oral preliminaries up went the cowgirl. Good, perhaps unremarkable, but good nonetheless. Awesome nipples to play with and suck on. And, yes, I know those nipples didn't get showered either, but I have a double standard.

After she showered and left I was preparing for mine when a knock came. Maybe she was back for more? No, a house guy coming to service the room. The wrong room. It was one o'clock. Just about anywhere else this would have been outrageous. No, in Tijuana that would be a 10 AM knock. This was just a minor nuisance.

The rest of the night was more, mercifully less frequent, adolescent yelling and in one case I believe crying, and the almost constant wandering of small horses in the hallway. Clip clop clip clop clip clop. Oh, wait! Those are the chicas' heels! And I was thinking those teenagers had really hit rock bottom. But with my custom molded ear plugs it was just like a quiet western playing in the background, or at least it was until Budweiser showed up. I thought it was them trying to muscle in on the fine Mexican beers and had a Clydesdale team down as a promo but quickly realized it was probably just some chica with a car tire in her bowels.

Related: I believe the Spanish language is based entirely on decibel levels.

I hit La Perla for lunch. Nothing remarkable but decent as usual. I got offered the Spanish menu. Very odd. Usually in touristy areas the people can spot a gringo from a mile away. And no, I'm not Hispanic: Scottish / Swedish / whatever else. Halfway through some guy came by and threatened me with an accordion. I declined but some fool across from me really wanted the full Mexican experience. But to look on the brighter side I must admit it could have been worse: as the band strummed away a guy walked by outside the window with a sousaphone. Lunch the next day WAS worse: a brass band.

That night, Friday, HK was of course even busier. I stopped in and opted to patrol the streets instead. After a walk around the block I chose to go back in instead: Presumably all the street talent was busy at the moment. There were some better looking prospects that night but it was oppressively (by my rather neurotic standards) crowded. I got spotted by Marjorie. I try not to repeat since the whole idea to me is the variety, but if I get caught I can be swayed easily since the otherwise I feel like I'm saying that I tried her out and she was found wanting. In this case it was just a great way to get the hell out of that sardine can.

That night the Cascadas din had reduced for some reason but I had already decided I would just try for a late Saturday afternoon romp, then head back across the border before things got dark and scary. It wasn't like I would be getting a farewell shag on Sunday as I needed to catch a train fairly early so I opted for earlier sex, more sleep. Saturday dawned and I was still so beat that I only made a half-hearted search in the afternoon and, predictably, found nothing of real interest. Not the end of the world: I had a good time, more sex than I'd had in the last four months (sad, ain't it?) and besides, in three weeks I leave for a month in Thailand and the Philippines. I'm going to keep coming back until I get this Tijuana thing right.

I may bring a thumb drive of Nickelback's Greatest Hits (I assume such an abomination exists) to leave playing at full blast when I go for lunch. Hey teenagers! It's called retaliation!

Afterword: I still felt beat even after the night in the SAN hotel. Somewhere in New Mexico I got a close look at the inside of an Amtrak toilet. So it really wasn't just fatigue! For the second trip in a row I brought back that quintessential Mexican souvenir: Food poisoning!

According to the release below California started offering enhanced driver licenses on Jan. 22,2018.

https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/de...l/2017/2017_86

Interesting. Thanks! I wonder if we're now going to have two kinds of licenses.

[JPF]

There are only 2 kinds of passports. The traditional book, and a passport card.

The passport card is ONLY good for LAND or SEA crossings into / out of Mexico or Canada. It's can't be used for air travel between the USA and any other country.

An enhanced drivers license is a different animal. California does not have them because, in our infinite wisdom, we issue licenses to illegal aliens. But they are a state-issued ID, not a Federal, although they comply with Federal mandates. Basically you can use an enhanced DL to cross in the Ready lanes between Mexico and the USA. I assume Canada, too, but I'm not positive.

Thanks for the responses guys. Regarding passport issues. I still don't totally understand that. I went to the post office at home and asked. They were even unsure of what the differences were between the various passports you can get. Traditional, card, enhanced license, etc. It's too late for me to get a card before this trip so I will just use my passport. I will be getting a card at some point though as I probably will visit Tijuana a couple of times per year.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your responses. I read every single one of your responses.

I understand that it's not illegal to visit Hong Kong to have sex with an adult prostitute.

But it's also not illegal to visit Thailand. But I have heard of people getting in trouble for visiting too many times. I think it's a circumstantial evidence thing, if you visit Thailand too frequently and you have no business there, that will raise red flags and they will use the circumstantial evidence against you.

Is every girl working at Hong Kong necessarily over 18? That's another problem.

Probably best to not go if your this paranoid. Not a single person going in and out of Mexico for the ladies have or posted having this issue dreamed up over active imagined problem.

[LukeSkywalker]

So far it's not illegal to go overseas to do anything you want, except child prostitution and pornography.

There have been guys going to Thailand and Cambodia for child prostitution, so CPB will scrutinize guys who go there often.

I have been going to Tijuana and other parts of Mexico for over 20 years. I applied and got Global Entry privilege quickly. CBP usually waves me through border quickly. They are not targeting or suspecting me. If asked. I would just say visiting friends. All is OK.

So relax. If CBP wrongly harasses or prosecutes you, you can always sue them for big money.

This is Mexico, not Thailand. But concerning Thailand, they sometimes check if a person has a lot of entrances and exits over an extended period of time. This "red flag" is because far too many people flout their laws and stay extended periods of time on a regular tourist visa by exiting and reentering the country every time their tourist visa expires. Upon reentry these cretins get another 30 - 90 days. Then, after the 90 days is up, they go on another visa run, and repeat. This results in a ton of entry and exit stamps in their passports, at least 4 per year. Some have done this for years and the Thais are tired of it. This has absolutely nothing to do with the ladies.

If you intend to enter / exit Mexico frequently, and don't drive your car, simply get a 6-month FMM the next time you cross. Then you can come and go as you please. There is no law in the USA concerning how many times you can exit and leave. Go easy on the paranoia, and stop listening to people who don't travel.

Let me refer you to my earlier post stating that prostitution in Mexico is REGULATED. This means there are laws, and the large clubs must follow them or bad things tend to happen. One of those is that the girls must be 18. So, I don't know where you got the idea that this is a "problem. " If you're that worried, stick with the main bars, and make sure every girl with whom you interact looks at least 25.

[MikeyMike87]

Good to see you here as well at kxk85. I recall you spent some time with FatClown in HK a couple of days ago. I was looking forward to reading about FatClown's adventures. Hopefully a lot more guys will continue posting here.

I am glad I found a few familiar names here.

[TomJackin]

I'm sorry if this has been addressed previously, but regarding the local police. If you are stopped on the street and searched / harassed / whatever, it seems like the suggested thing to do is to hold your cash / phone / passport in your hand rather than leave them in your pockets to find. Why is that? It's seems that they could take it from your hands as easily as they.

Could from your pockets. Any enlightenment on this would be.

Greatly appreciated. I will be there 4/22-23 if anyone wants to meet up.

[Lance316]

This. Also, the United States does not have laws regulating the behavior of US citizens with adult prostitutes abroad. Even if the United States passed such laws in the future, from what I understand, new laws are not applied retroactively.
