Thoughts on the upcoming 10yr anniversary?
I think that this is the reason for all of the "crack downs" lately, ie. ****** and other websites getting shut down, the extra security at National Court. Will have to check out one of my regular saunas to see if it has extended that far.
Sort of doubt that Wan Chai will have any problems, since it's mostly for foreigners and very few of the workers there are ethnic Chinese.
On a separate topic, I was searching for new sauna experiences and seems like there has been alot of talk about Ocean Sauna (or Ocean King). Finally figured out that it has morphed into Blue Sky. I've been there a couple times but couldn't remember which floor it was on. When I RTFF and saw that Ocean King was on 5th floor, and passed by a couple days ago on my way to Hop Yee checked to see which floor Blue Sky was on. BTW, the elevator at Hop Yee is out of commission, perhaps somehow related to the "10yr anniversary crackdown"?
Anyway, seems like alot of previous posters spoke very highly of the place. Been to Blue Sky a few times and can't really complain, except fo the lack of a jacuzzi. Did Ocean King have a Jacuzzi before? Price was 1400 for FS if I remember right.
Anyone been to the Sauna in the Miramar Hotel?
Too much of a good thing.

Vely vely bad for Hong Kong's image.

In the old days, going back 12 plus years in HK, before advertisement of 141s on the internet, the girls advertised in Chinese language only newspapers. The ads were basic with only a hint of sex. For the most part, non-Chinese speaking people did not visit the 141s. Most foreigners went to the clip joints on HK island and stayed clear of Mongkok and Sham Shui Po (lots of cheap sex here). Also, in the old days, most 141 girls would not do non-Asian guys.
Since the 141s started advertising on the internet, I have noticed that there are more girls selling sex in HK then 10 plus years ago--lots more. I guess this was going to happen sooner or later, that is, the general public in HK do not want to be seen as a sex stop for foreigners. Sure, it is ok for HK to be a sex stop for the local guys, but the HK government and local folks get an attitude when they see so many foreigners having fun. In fact, one of my Chinese males friends stated that the foreigners have driven up the prices. I tend to agree with him. For example, in Sham Shui Po, where I never see foreigners at the 141s, prices are still very low (200 to 300). Now in Tsim Sha Tsui where lots of tourist go, prices are 500 to 800--and tourist pay it.
My bet is after several weeks or months, things will get back to normal. When I go to 141s, I use the ones in small buildings not on the tourist path.
Also note that, when you are in HK, you can get 141 info from the mags at many of the newspaper stands. "One Night Stand" is the one I like.
