North China - Beijing

[Feet6279]

I have been to Chun Xiu Lu several times. I still like the plance (I think). I always going with the same girl (No. 863). She my style girl. I agree that the place is a little mechanical, but I enjoy the going in and being able to take off afterwords. For some reason since my GF moved out of China, the stay overs with the Maggie girls just has not worked for me.

Intersted in feedback about a couple of things (i) First can someone tryout 863, let me know their thoughts on her.

Any thoughs on why I am no longer into the overnighters?

Some places are just legit. Some places are very specific in not offering services that are not requested.

There's a Korean sauna that I went to a couple of times that offered me and seemed to offer nothing but legit services (perhaps we're talking about the same place). Only recently did I find out there's another side to the business, but still have never tried it. It's on the list for 2007.

I have been in BJ for about 4 days and I thought I'd try the famous Maggies last night for New Years Eve thinking that they must do something special. As I had never been before I wasnt sure what to expect, I learnt quite a lot and wanted to share with any of you newbies and visitors to BJ (non- expats).

The bar is in a quiet area and quite safe, the style is of an American country bar with a pool table and a large central bar area (doesnt apeal to me but some will like it). Basically, the bar is for foreigners ONLY, this includes WGs. The only Chinese there are all working for Maggies as bar girls or bar men, no Chinese patrons are allowed. The 'bar girls' are in fact hostesses whose sole function is to entertain you and to get you to buy them drinks, they will nearly always ask for a long island iced tea at 80RMB each (about USD11). I sipped one and it didnt seem to contain any alcohol. One of my hostesses was very honest and explained the deal. The bar girls are not allowed to leave with the customers or they will get sacked, (some do anyway). They have to bring in about 5 drinks per night to keep their jobs, if they do not chat to enough people and drink plenty of drinks, they get 'talked' to by the boss. For this reason I suspect that their drinks are specially formulated to omit alcohol as they will not be much good plastered. Also they will take frequent 'bathroom' breaks to make sure they can drink more.

They will happily assist you in picking out the Mongolians (they themsleves refer to Maggies as a Mongolian bar) though there is one Pakistani as well as a few Russians apparently, though I didnt see any. The Mongolians have a very different appearance than the Chinese to those who can tell these things (i can) they do not have the same refinement of features and internal grace of the Chinese and tend to be all North - South with not much going on in the equatorial region, though they usualy have good stacks. I didnt see any above about 8, mostly around 6-7 on the Richter scale, even saw some 4-5s if that takes your fancy.

Even on New Year's Eve there was nothing going on before about 12am. The problem with this is that if you pick up a girl and take her back to your hotel then you can't be certain that you will be able to get her in (I stayed at the Pen and already talked to one of the guys and agreed that I will be bringing someone, although I didn't after all) but I am not sure that you will be able to get girls into some hotels at around 1-2am. So this means that unless you are an expat and actualy live in BJ in your own apartment then you might want to stay clear of Maggies, due mainly to the lateness of any availability. The going rate is 700-800RMB for 'all night', but remember 'all night' starts at around 2am.

The hostesses I talked to were charming and not pushy at all and were happy enough to give over their phone numbers for post maggies contact but they claim to be virgins (and I am quite certain they were).

They also work for tips so they will ask you for some money before you leave, I didn't give any as I had bought lots of drinks. They are happy enough to crawl all over you and are very tactile, clearly programmed to get you to stay longer at the bar.

Overall even I found Maggies a bit sleazy and lacking class (and I am no saint) I am not sure I would recommend this place to any newbs or plain vistitors to BJ, or those who find Chinese women extraordinarily attractive like I do, hence I left empty handed and after looking forwards to a New Yers eve filled with debauchery I went to sleep like a saint....ahhhh.

I am not sure where else to recommend (I might try the Pig in the Holiday Inn Lido tonight though this is well out of downtown) as I havent had much luck while in BJ but unless you live here and/or can't tell the difference between a Mongolian and a Chinese then Maggies may not be your best options.
