East China - Shanghai

Went to 2 reopened MPs today. Both places were busy with girls applying for jobs. That was weird. But I guess with crackdowns, there's also turnover. At the place where I decided to get serviced, I was the first customer that a new girl ever had. The manager told her that I was a good customer and so I would be a good first customer for her. What a bizarre experience. She was so nervous. At one point, she was rubbing my nipple with her nose, for at least a coupled minutes. LOL. But I was polite.

BTW, the place was packed. I texted the manager beforehand, and she didn't reply. When I saw her, she apologized and said that she got so many messages that she couldn't accommodate any client with special requests. She said just come and you get whichever gal is next, because it was so busy. LOL. They reopened today. Finally, in this place the rooms have windows. But the girl just covered them with a towel. So maybe things aren't super strict. We will see. I'll check out other MPs. Oh, and the prices on the menu increased at this place. I'll check out other MPs to see if this is true at other places.

Worst crackdown since I've been in China. About half the places I know of closed up permanently and became new stores. Hoping Nanjing / Suzhou / Wuxi / Kunshan start following suit and re-opening MPs.

[QUOTE=NormanBrightside;2342255]Hi.

I will be in Shanghai next week and with all the inclement weather about I wanted to know whether Judy's is open for business as usual?

Thanks.

Norman.[/QUOTE]Same question here.

Any news on J&M?

Has anyone heard anything?

When they reopened after the previous crackdown, their off menu options dramatically decreased. I wonder if the same will happen this time, or if they will rebrand completely. Or if something else is going on with them.

[QUOTE=TheGuy;2339972]By the way, watch out whom you interact with on WeChat. One of my accounts, used for mongering, was hacked into (by LE, I think).[/QUOTE]I was contacted by an outcall agency just now, telling me that its WeChat account is now blocked. Just a reminder to be careful when using WeChat. Don't reveal addresses and don't explicitly discuss arrangements on it.

Judy's has a sign out that says they will open on Friday. I'm not sure if it the same with Manhattan.

The sign has been out for a couple of days. I assume its to give the girls some notice ahead of time. Although I wouldn't be too sure if all the girls will flock back as if things were back too normal.

Spring on maoming opened on July 1st, but later closed again on the 2nd. I'm not going to speculate on what or why it happened. Because it's just that, speculation. Everything or anything anyone knows is just a guess as good as anyone's. So enough with the reports of when the MPs might open. Reports on MPs that are reopened would be far more informative and helpful.

The past weeks have been mostly about when MPs might reopen again and speculative reasons why they aren't. Enough of that. Please!

[QUOTE=Midwestern;2342264]If she booked other guys, then I'm sure you treated her fine. If she were only in Shanghai just for you, then paying her 1. 5 times her usual overnight rate, for each day she's in Shanghai, would have been fair, IMHO. Maybe you should have told her what you were planning on giving her. But that's 20-20 hindsight. Most importantly, sounds like you had a good time.[/QUOTE]Thanks, I was totally transparent about the number of nights and payments. With lavish dinners and drinks, it is still difficult to keep these Hi-maintenance girls satisfied.

Let the fun and games begin. Although candidates might be a bit short on the ground for a week or so.

K.[/QUOTE]One of my most recent posts reported that MPs have reopened, except for some Springs. Previously, I reported that some MP gals told me that they would reopen first week of July, and they were right. Not sure who was speculating and not reporting useful intel.

I've been a lurked so far and decided to register today. Will contribute some TP's in time, and may also write up some retrospective TP's for locations other than shanghai (as I have very little useful info here so far.

I live and work here and have been reading with interest as the recent windy weather has developed, but for that I would probably have something of use to say!

I was going to try to message someone to arrange a meet up today, would appreciate being shown the ropes out here, but it seems I cannot pay for a subscription in a manner which will register sufficiently quickly! It might seem a silly suggestion, but have admins thought about a PayPal system? Or western union transfer? Anyway. I suppose this is a Hello, from me. Thanks to those members who have provided so much useful info. I hope that over time I can pay something back.

I did want to ask some advice. I'm pretty risk averse so would appreciate any help.

Thinking about Judy's and Manhattan, is it safe to use Didi to get to and from? Or would you avoid that?

Also, assuming you have no personal reason not to (no family at home) what would be the advice on meeting girls at these bars and going back to your apartment rather than a hotel?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Apologies if a reworded version of this appears. I've been having a nightmare submitting this post for some reason. Anyway I'm a long time lurker so on this site (intermittent) and finally decided to register today.

I live in Shanghai and have been following recent developments with interest. I arrived not too long ago and what I've read on here has caused me to order use extra caution so I have no TP for Shanghai as yet, although I will post when I do.

It was said here the anti gang task force sent from BJ was to leave Shanghai around the 30th of June and places would reopen from the 26th for legit places, 28/29th for bars and some MPs, up to the end of the following week.

I witnessed just that, with some HJ / BJ MPs opening on the 29th, 30th, 1st. And wechat announcement for other places they'd reopen on the 5th and 6th.
Pretty much 80 to 90% of the places I knew of in may 2019 have reopened. As reported by members here, it was pretty packed in the shops last weekend with lots of new girls.

Shanghai has announced dismantling 176 criminal gangs and opening 1 year of investigation against them focusing on shark loans and such... lets hope that keeps BJ happy and that SH won't look too much at our hobby. Thats pretty much the only part we can "speculate" on, the rest has been very factual :)

Manhattan open also - 30 guys. ZERO girls. Judy's 30 guys - 2 girls. Prolly won't stay long 👍
