BTW, great constructive first post on your part. You weren't recently posting on this topic under a different name, were you? ;-)
Cheers
[QUOTE=Sammon; 1197100]You need to take a Z-Pack which contains 7 tablets. First day you take two and one a day after to clear infections.
One single dose may get rid of symptoms but will not cure the infection.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=Uncle Goober; 1197049]Not quite right, my friend. A single 1000mg dose of azithromycin (usually sold as zithromax in this part of the world) will wipe out standard cases of NSUs such as chlamydia, and also non-complicated cases of gonorrhea.
I fully agree with the basic premise that people shouldn't be taking small or single doses "just in case", or failing to complete a prescribed course, but your comment wasn't quite accurate.
Cheers.[/QUOTE]IMHO, do not self medicate. Go see a doctor and follow their instructions to the letter.
There are free social disease clinics in most developed countries. They will run tests for you. If your managed care doc will not run a STD panel, you can always try the labs directly and pay out of pocket. Here in HK, there are many labs, even around Wanchai.
Our little delta is not the only source of super bugs. Eastern Europe and Africa are hot spots too (aids, ebola and TB are just some examples).
Unless you want more super bugs, like Uncle Goober suggested, do not take a single dose of antibotics unless instructed. Go seek professional advice from a doctor and follow the full course of the medicine.
Play safe.

Cheers[/QUOTE]I know a rather troll first post, but I guess I will see Friday if old topnotch managed to get the place shutdown. For the record I've been charged entry fees and I'm a white dude, but then I was wearing a big sign saying 'I'm a tourist'
Plenty of other better spots in wanchai and from the sound of it topnotch should be hanging out in LKF anyway.

Enjoy LKF.
Or if you prefer, I will be at Bar 109 (across the road from Makati) from 1830 HK time on Saturday night. We can enjoy a beer and watch the place get shut down as a result of topnotch's efforts, or indeed if topnotch was correct we can drink a beer in sad remembrance of the closed and locked doors.
But seriously, dude, come and have a beer. It doesn't matter if you are white, brown, yellow, black or whatever. I will buy you a beer. And the important thing, we can watch little bunnies walk by and you can chill out.
Cheers

Cheers[/QUOTE]Well, I bet he does not show up. I would join you but not there for a few weeks yet. Hope New Makati still open on the Sunday. I have happy memories there. Even Quasimodo could not fail there.
PS. There is no chance of anything new in New Makati, but it made for interesting, if not incredulous, reading for a while and I liked your inuendo. He would be well advised to think about who runs this and other "establishments" in Wan Chai. Not to be crossed!
Well I attended the anniversary party of Neptune 3. It was filled with lads and free booze till 2200 and free food. Was a jovial atmosphere, sans chicks.
Know lots of people who had a beer and ran off to have some company in another bar. I did the same and I don't know what's going on as there's very little company around.
Its thanks to your good reporting, that got me to go there and enjoy the bar as it is, and yes, the female singer looks extremely delectable.
Cheers!

Cheers[/QUOTE]Goober I'll take you up on that free beer, Saturday week? I'm off to Hungary first, will post up a report of that trip.
I like that you think I'm an arrogant American Asian dude but I'm far from it. My posts were sly digs at the original guy. Like jackthelad2 says, I wouldn't cross the people who really run the bars in Wanchai.
[QUOTE=Jackthelad2;1197750]I would join you but not there for a few weeks yet.[/QUOTE]Send me a PM when you are in town, Jack. We will have a beer!

Guys,
Cathay has a deal on in January and I think about going across for 10 days. Only been once, when my break was interrupted by work. I loved it and fancy going back.
I stayed in Wanchai at the Cosmopolitan and was happy with it. Had a great time at Neptune and generally loved the gf experience & "sleaze". However, get the impression that the area is no longer quite so hot. Is that true? Would it be better staying elsewhere in HK? Or should I go back to Thailand? Going in October and will report back on patts and BKK.
Grateful for any advice / recommendations.
Peter

Peter[/QUOTE]In February it will be raining cats and dogs. I usually stay in the Wharney or Novotel on Lockhart / Luard Road, it's right in the action and the breakfast is good at the Novotel. Cosmopoitan was the source of the SARS spread a few years back so have studiously avoided it. A little further afield is the South Pacific Hotel in Morrison Hill Road, a short tram ride away and a bit nicer. I pick any of the three based on the dollars for a room and if has wifi etc. The Empire is OK too, but a litle tired, Wesley (yes it's owned by a church) is also good and GF of course, got to breed givers to the plate. But Hong Kong is more xpensive than BKK or MNL, but the costs of the girls living and getting to Honkers is higher also.
[QUOTE=OneTwoThreeFour;1197810]Goober I'll take you up on that free beer, Saturday week?[/QUOTE]Deal. Send me a PM to confirm.
[QUOTE=OneTwoThreeFour;1197810]I like that you think I'm an arrogant American Asian dude but I'm far from it.[/QUOTE]If you think that I said that, then you need to re-read the posts. Ayways, all will be revealed when we meet for that beer.
Enjoy your trip. Safe travels.
Cheers
Despite Topnotch's best efforts, Makati was still alive and kicking last night.
And I am confident it will be pumping away this afternoon (Sunday) as well.
Funny old world.
Cheers.

I thought it was the Metropark over on the Kowloon side. Have stayed in the Cosmopolitan and the Cosmo next door. Only slightly out of the way but not bad value and both GF although sometimes a guy checks you in as you enter the elevator at the Cosmopolitan. South Pacific is good as well but hate that walk of shame there!
Don't overlook the Charterhouse round the corner in Wan Chai Road. I stay there often although it too is a bit tired but being refurbished bit by bit. Am staying at the JJ Hotel further along the road on the advice of a previous forum post I read here and it gets good reviews on the internet. Will report back in due course.
Good to read from UG below that New Makati still alive and kicking. Was there ever any doubt?

There is a back door to the lobby of the South Pacific, straight in and sharp left to the lifts, always struck the desk clerks looking at the floor, not even purve on the girls, might be fudgepackers?
The Charterhouse stinks of tobacco, that is a real problem in HongKong now, the majotity of their tourists are mainland chnese and they all smoke like chimneys, so smoke free rooms are at a premium. South Pacific has only 6 floors smoke free, so best to specify when booking.

Talk about bad luck as the two hotel are related.
Uncle Goober should sit a little closer to get a good view of New Makati's door. I think a big blue truck appeared to block the B109's view tonight. NM was open as usual. But the night is still young.
