East China - Shanghai

[NorthSouth]

(Obama's visit last year did not affect Shanghai's mongering scene. Not sure why Trump's would.).

Have to see if the weather will improve afterwards, or whether the whole climate change thing is because of a new sheriff in town.

Judy (the actual person) is very well connected.

Yesterday, Xi Jinping and the other members of the Standing Committee were in town, the Donald will come later this month, don't expect things getting better until then. Afterwards. We'll, let's see.

Yes Trump will have his asia trip from 3rd to 14th of Nov. I think China is on the 8-9th of Nov.

Lets hope situation will be better in Shanghai after that (even if he only goes to Beijing, there will prolly be some delegation meetings in Shanghai away from the summit).

I've been checking out MPs, only to get so many veggie massages. Sigh.

The place next to Buddha's is back up. However, it's not a walk-in. I've been notified via QQ. Sometimes the door will be locked. However, if they see a foreigner, they might be OK with you.

450 for FS. 400 on second visit when mentioned.

Not too many girls to choose from but a couple are very much worth the price.

I was planning to go tonight and contact told me they were informed to not open for the time being. Probably due to someone being in town.

And now we have to wait till trump arrives and leaves to see if the situation changes.

Arghhhh.

Friends,

I am here till Saturday (for a week) - Have visited Judy's twice now. Going well and strong. Can any of the seniors please help (through pm) with at least one more place I could try (Preference is Karaoke with hostess, as it's unique shanghai experience I Massage Other pickup bars like Judy's). I know the situation is bad, but willing to take risk. Will post the update / FR if the person sharing the lead is okay (considering the bad times).

Would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

Safe Mongering,

LC.

But why is one closed and the other still open?

Had this one being closed already ever before?

I was also there last Saturday night.

When I arrived in the area I saw a black police SUV with its lights flashing, parked across the street from Manhattan. Watching the action. It just made me a little nervous that they were showing they knew what was transpiring.

I opted to conduct business at Judy's instead. And had a great session with one of the nice Viets there.

Another interpretation of the police SUV with flashing lights out front: Friendly notice that girls with overstayed visas or people with other types of problems should stay away before a later check. Might be wishful thinking, but it seems too early to judge the outcome of all this.

I have been reading this board and going to shanghai for 8 years. I only remember it being closed once before and only for a day or two. There was a fire once and it was closed for less than 3 days. I don't know what did the other closing back then but this is definitely different. If the other working girls are doing fine down the street, I can only guess it was something else at Manhattans. Not paying off the police, or someone there causing trouble, or maybe a friend of a friend no longer in power.

I've seen massage places I loved get closed so the chinese could put something else there. No telling what will be next. This came on pretty suddenly. For the short term there has to be WG looking for work to make rent and make the trip from Viet land worth it. Long term if it doesn't pan out the girls may no longer come back.

I got pinged by a Viet girl (I am in the US). We had been together before and she was out trolling to see who she could find. Cute 2 o something spinner.

[Lando1906]

Still shut. About 15 Viet ladies turned into streetwalkers on that road. Could probably cut a good deal just to get them out of the cold, but not my night. A number of them relocated to The Spot, and Judy's seemed to be going strong. We'll see what life is like after Pres Xi hits the road.

Most likely because we have a valued guest visiting our town. Or should I say HIS town.

"Most of Xintiandi's south block has been shut down until around 1 pm today for "electrical maintenance. " Most of the office buildings in the complex have also been given a day off (eeyyy), and some shops might remain closed throughout the day. But at least the restaurants should be open again in time for a late lunch. Just keep that in mind if you're planning to stop by.

You may also have noticed heightened security on the metro and a lot more traffic today. We can only speculate which recently feted head of state is visiting our fair city to warrant such disruption to our lunch plans. ".

And yes Xijinping was seen walking the streets of Xintiandi.

Now with the mayor and party chiefs being his former assistants, he has finally taken controle of this nice city from the Jiang Zemin gang.

Lets hope this trip marks the end of the Shanghai siege!

Do you think Manhattan will open again soon? Had it ever been closed in the past in similar ways for a short time?

I think this is the end.

Visited last night, Manhattan as friends have said is closed. Haven't seen Judy's in its glory, but the number and quality girls last night were okay. Maybe 6/10 - had fun evening though, was offerred 1000 for night at around 2:30, gave a pass.

Some of the girls seem to have moved to better hotels. Last two nights in westin as well as fairmont, met 2-4 pretty girls at the bar who finally ended up offerring for 1500. Pass as I was way too drunk at that time.

Are there any good Karaoke bars still on? Didn't see much on the forum recently. Wanted to try it at least once. Please let me know. Would appreciate your help. Pm is active.

Safe Mongering,

LC.
