General Reports

[QUOTE=Eyebrow777]Firebird,

Thanks for the report.

Odd (or not) question for the folks here. I'll be traveling through HK in a couple of months and have some flexibility on the exact dates. Fenwick's is on my short list (along with some of the Macau saunas) and I want to avoid being there when the Navy is in port. Is there public info on Navy port of call schedules?

Thanks,

EB[/QUOTE]Just as a heads up from a fellow mongerer, the navy is coming late april to early May as lomg as they US doesnt boycott the olympic games and China lets them pull in.

[QUOTE=Lobo220]Thanks but this doesnt work for me. I am going to Shenzhen airport and ferry service does not run 24 hours. I need to spend the night in HK and want to be close to the ferry for an early morning departure.[/QUOTE]

You should have said you were going to Shenzen in your original post, rather than have us overindulge you with information. I recommend the Conrad at Admiralty.

Gyaos.

If you are going to shenzhen airport from HKG airport,

1. Take A 43 bus to the kcr station , sheng shui
cost - 28 RMB. time -approx 45 min.

2. Take kcr train to louhu.
cost - 20 RMB time - 3 min.

3. When you come out of louhu station go to where the buses are. There is a van going to Shenzhen airport.
cost- 20 RMB time- 45 min approx

This route is good only between 7 am to 11 pm.

Agree with Gyaos' sentiment, when asking for advise, please be more precise. Whatever the case, if you want to stay in Admiralty (2 MTR stops away), my personal favorite is actually the Shangri-La, right next door to Conrad. If you really want to be close to the ferry, the Mandarin Oriental (newly renoveated removing the useless balconies, walking distance) is closer and the Four Seasons is the closest (of the major hotel chains, might be some smaller ones even closer).

Since you don't seem familiar with the geography, I'll mention the obvious that SZN itself is a major city with plenty of accomodations (and entertainment). The ferry is not necessarily the best route to the airport. There have been plenty of opinions here, to each their own. Personally, my original opinion still holds true, go to Macau and party all night, then catch a ferry directly from Macau to SZN airport! Best advice ever!

Do you mean "30" minutes from Kowloon Tong Station to LuoHu?

I think he meant what he said! See part 1 of his reply.

1. Take A 43 bus to the kcr station , sheng shui

That is the last station before LuoHu and about 3 minutes ride!

[QUOTE=Lobo220]Can anyone recommend a hotel close to the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal, Sheung Wan?

I will be arriving late in the evening and want to catch an early morning ferry out.[/QUOTE]

Oh yeah, there is also the ferry from TST to Shenzhen Airport. Marco Polo has two hotels close by. Ten minute walk from the hotel to the ferry.

Saves you from having to go to HK Island and try to get to the Macau ferry terminal!

I think that the closest big hotel near the Macau ferry terminal is the Island Pacific. Ok hotel, about USD100 per night, including taxes and service charges.

Cheers,

[QUOTE=Benjao]Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for all your pictures and report I was wondering if anyone could help me here?

I would like to know where is the best place to meet with Filipino, Thai, Indonesian girl on a week day afternoon?[/QUOTE]What I menat was working girls where can I find those on a weekday afternoon?

If you have a fat wallet or company covered trip, try private limo (cross border van), 100us, door to door, 24/7. At the border you just hand in your passport and open the door show your face and get lasered for temperature check. 3 min stop at border, 60 min HK-SZ. That's how I roll. J/K, I'm always behind the farmers with the odd smelling veggies.

PM me I'll call you one.

Jeez Lobo - will you please get with it?!

Guys here are trying their best to help you out with information - and you come back with incomplete responses and sparse information on what you really want.

In fact, all your 11 previous posts had ALL just been questions questions and more questions.

Are you saying you are arriving in HK Airport, want to check in to a hotel close to the Sheung Wan Macau Ferry piers and then go to that pier to catch the 1st ferry to the Airport in Shenzhen? (not to Macau??).

If so, the first question I have is WHY?? why would you want to spend on expensive hotel in HKG (which these days during all these conventions will run you a MINIMUM of HK$1,200 or US$150/night - whatever grade hotel!) when you could easily just hop on a bus at the HKG airport when and where you arrived at, and go to Shenzhen directly. Take a Taxi to any Hotels there - even one close to the SZ airport - and you'd not only be saving bucks but also a lot of hassles and travel time.

Anyway, please tell us what is it exactly you wanna do - otherwise, I really think you're wasting everybody's time and really taking advantage of our generally good nature/willingness to advise.

Hello,

I am new to this forum. I will be going to Hong Kong in May and from there to Macau and than to Shen Zhen (SheKou). I will be arriving at the Hong Kong airport around 7 ish in the evening and I am thinking that the best thing for me to do would be to go to Macau right away and try to find a place to stay there as I have heard that Hong Kong is very expensive.

Anyway, I was hoping that I could get some good advice about how to go to Macau and any other information you guys might have. I am a White American, but I speak Manderin pretty well.

Thanks a lot for any help you guys are willing to give!

More sauna reports please! :)

[QUOTE=Gyaos]More sauna reports please! :)[/QUOTE]

No problem!

As a semi-regular in the past at Ocean Dragon at Causeway Bay, last Saturday I decided to go and try out its successor in the same premises, Blue Sky Sauna. Many thinks are unchanged: the same effusive welcome, the same clean and hygienic showers and changing area, and the helpful staff. I spent half an hour relaxing with cigarettes and tea in the sitting area, and was then escorted through to the massage area, where Eva was waiting for me.

The massage rooms are also very clean, and the towels smell fresh. The massage itself was average but not incompetent in any way, and lasted about 45 minutes. Then Eva turned off the lights, tugged off my towel, and provided a few minutes of gentle erotic touching around the butt and ballsack before pausing to find out whether I wanted a simple happy ending ($88x) or FS ($1048). I opted for the latter, because she was definitely a fuckable lady.

Service was perfectly decent: CBJ, cowgirl, mish, followed by a cleanup and a few minutes alone to recoup.

Overall I'd recommend Blue Sky. It's not cheap, but it's conveniently located, very clean, and has a good service ethic.

Idler,
Thanks for that report. I tried Ocean Dragon once a while back and walk by the Blue Sky sign probably twice a week. Your report just might motivate me to give it a try one day.

I'd say your best bet would be just to go to the Hong Kong Macau Ferry pier building (ShunTak Centre, that Red diagonally striped building in Sheung Wan, within walking distance from Hong Kong Station of the airport Express, and where bus A11 airport bus stops at) and do comparison shopping. Match your own requirements with what is on offer or even ask to 'customize' a package for you - depending on your own requirements re Hotel rating, cost, planned activity in Macau etc.

Within the 2 floor proximity of the tickweting office, you will find a variety of travel agents offering you different "packages" which usualy includes a round trip ticket on the HKG-Macau Ferry and either 1 pop Sauna, or KTV experience.

Some agents specializes in getting bargain hotel accomodations - which can be as cheap as HK$300/weekday night and run all the way up to multi HK$ thousands for a suite at the Venetian (so much for cheap hotels in Macau these days!).

You can even go to a shop there and arrange to be "comped" first class all the way, just by depositi g a certain amount of $$ which you get back in player's chips at the casino. Like I said, it all depends on your own budget and what your planned activity would be in Macau.

there is only 6 daily ferries Macau-Shekou - check
