1st Timer: A Couple FKK / RLD questions.
I've spent several hours browsing these pages as they are by far the best resource I've found, thanks you to the contributors.
40 yo White American Guy (TN) heading to EUR for the first time at the end of October. Have 2 nights in Frankfurt (arriving Sat AM, Departing Mon AM for Work meetings. I'm looking to dabble in Mongering while I'm there. I'm considering FKK and RLD and understand the basics on both. I'll likely allocate afternoon and / or evening to this and let's throw out a budget of 300-400€ all in.
I'm staying downtown just north of the Main, and am unfamiliar without the rail system so I'm looking to stay relatively "close to home". I understand Mainhattan is the closest FKK ( 20€ cab). I've read about their upselling to push $100/30 min for basics and am under the impression I should push back for $50/30 min or $100/60 min (if I like after test drive). I also understand RLD to be 30-50€/20 m with a need to clearly outline what I'm getting. Also the stairs can be much more hit or miss and more rushed than FKKs, generally. Feel free to correct any bad assumptions here, please.
Now a few questions:
1) Assuming I'm wanting to stay fairly close with minimal transfers, is Mainhattan my only / best FKK option?
2) Would Saturday or Sunday afternoon / early evening be better LU wise? What about evenings?
3) I saw premium liquor costing more, but is "endless" basic beer or cocktails included?
4) Are showers mandatory upon arrival (if I've showered before coming?
5) Process wise, I know I'm issued a clothing locker and wallet locker. Am I allowed to keep my phone on me (for reading, I assume photos are a No No)?
6) When I select a girl, I read that I go to the locker to get my Euro. Some suggest paying in the room (esp if negotiating BBBJ for $50). Will the girl be okay with my suggesting room payment?
7) China Japan in BLD intrigues me. What is the pricing there? I've not seen that posted? What is the protocol there outside of mamasan presenting a lineup and my picking someone?
This is a good start for now. I very much appreciate any feedback. If there is a better forum for this post please advise.
Cheers.
