Massage Parlors Closing in 5-Star Hotels
Islamization of Shanghai continues.
Was in one of city's most famous 5-star hotels. Asked about massage. She said all massage services closed this month. Might open again in future, but not sure. This the most plain vanilla massage known to mankind.
Time to get out of Shanghai. I'm not optimistic about the future.
More than just a passing thunder storm?
Don't think I'd reach the conclusion, as some posters have, that the Chinese can't stop or greatly hinder the world's oldest profession. This is a tightly monitored and controlled environment. Even in the "free and democratic" US, federal and local governments have clamped down on prostitution, making it dangerous and overpriced. The US, guided by its grandiose 1st amendment, recently shut down Backpage. In fact, the US is more than willing to curtail freedom of speech and private business transaction between willing parties under the guise of (relatively rare) child smuggling. Authoritarian China could do much, much more.
For a take on the recent massage scene, see: [URL]http://www.smartshanghai.com/wire/wellbeing/crackdown-this-is-why-you-cant-get-a-massage?source=android.[/URL] The massage parlors they talked to said it could be a month. Or it could be permanent.
If I were a betting man, I'd say mongering will be getting more and more dangerous in Shanghai, though the deteriorating environment could be punctuated by some periods of more lax enforcement.
Wish it weren't so!
Unusual request in the shutdown period.
Over the last year, I experienced some good contacts with a girl I met in Judy's (from VietNam of course). Using WC we would meet, independent of bar activities, and she would stay with me for a couple of days in my SH hotel. So there was more than the hardcore activities, we would visit musea and other events. I visit SH every 2 months for business. With the present shut-down, she is staying in HCMCity and is not considering any other way of working in SH than the usual places: J and M. Bur she did contact me with an interesting proposal: she could fly over, stay with me for a week, only with me and fly back. She showed me her economics, 3400 RMB for the return ticket and twice the taxi fare from Pudong to the hotel. It is intriguing, but I had to decline. A few encounters in a week of 1500-2000 RMB is one thing, but maintaining a lady for a whole week, outside work, is rather challenging. In the evenings there are some business obligations and we always enjoy our dinners and other outings. We have a healthy appetite between the sheets, though, a lot of foreplay (BBBJ and DATY; she does not fake her orgasm), and the usual K9 missio and the occasional trip to the Greek islands, always covered. But to go for these activities every night? Not for me. Any thoughts in the forum about this proposition? Anyone did it before?
