Wanchai Impressions. Dying down a bit?
I arrived a few days ago, Friday night, and wow. Is it just me or is the scene a lot quieter than a year or two ago? I don't get to HKG often enough, but it definitely seems different this time. New Makati was completely empty all Friday night (but was somewhat busier Saturday, when I was fortunate to meet a lovely Indo girl). And Hong Kong Cafe was better, but still not that many good quality girls (IMO). And it seems even the 5's and 6's are quoting 2 k ST, and not budging from that price. Escape of course is the place to be for the real lookers, but there the prices start at 3 k ST. I had a gorgeous Mongolian / Russian girl come up to me and practically hump my leg while standing there. She was pretty drunk and apparently took a liking to me. But she wouldn't come down below 2500ST, so I deferred. IMO that's just crazy money for pussy and while I don't begrudge anyone a living, I never see any girls from Escape leaving with gentleman friends, so it makes me wonder how they can keep their prices so high. I guess someone must be paying or prices would drop.
I've got a couple more nights in town, hoping for better luck; but thank goodness for the 600 walk-ups and the 400 brothels. They are likely to get my business after I get my fill of beer in Wanchai.

A mainland prostitute was allegedly killed in a frenzied knife attack by her client in a Yau Ma Tei brothel on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after arriving in the city.
The 20-year-old suspect is accused of having sex with another mainland prostitute next door before stabbing the 45-year-old woman. He allegedly fled the brothel in his underpants and jumped into the sea in an apparent suicide attempt.
A passerby called police and the man was arrested on the Kwun Tong promenade after swimming ashore.
"he was wearing underpants and a cloth bag was also wrapped around his waist at the time of the arrest," a police source said.
It is understood he found the bag after running out of the flat, and jumped into a taxi that took him to Kwun Tong. On Wednesday night, police were questioning the man, a new mainland immigrant.
The killing happened in a second-floor subdivided flat in Reclamation Street at about 3. 45 am. Police said the motive remained unknown. The victim. Li Jianfeng. Suffered multiple stab wounds, and a bloodstained knife was found at the scene.
"Initial examination showed she suffered more than 20 stab wounds to the neck and chest," said Superintendent Calvin Mohammed, acting assistant Yau Tsim district commander (crime). He said the suspect was believed to be a customer who went to the flat to buy sex.
"A woman heard the victim screaming and went to check. She found a man running out from the flat," the source said.
Li was found unconscious on the floor inside the flat. She was taken to Kwong Wah Hospital in Yau Ma Tei, where she was declared dead at 4. 18 am.
Li, holder of a two-way permit allowing travel from the mainland to Hong Kong and Macau, came to Hong Kong on Tuesday. The woman who found the body is a friend and also from the mainland. It is understood she alerted a male brothel-keeper, who called police.
Another police source said many subdivided flats in Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Shui and Mong Kok were used as brothels for mainland prostitutes. "Each pays about HK $350 a day to rent a subdivided flat for the purpose of prostitution during their seven-day visit," he said. "They solicit clients on the street and offer sex services in such flats, which are used as their accommodation. ".
Immigration figures show that 2,502 sex workers, mostly from the mainland, were arrested in the first seven months of this year. A total of 2,685 were nabbed in the same period last year.
Police figures show there were 11 reports of homicide in the first six months of the year, compared with 13 in the same period last year. There were two reports of homicide in July and this month.
