Police raided Manhattan and Judy.
I got his info from a friend of my date so I hope it is not a joke.
Yesterday (Saturday night) I visited Judy and Manhattan. Busy but not packed like a few weeks before. I was told by my date that there have been already a few police checks mainly to address safety concerns (fire regulations and how many people can stay at any venue, which depend on their size). A few girls started to get booted and minimum spendings strictly enforced).
Shortly after I left with my date (10:30 I guess) a lot of police raided both Judy and Manhattan.
Many girls are leaving for a few days or will not visit the bars in the coming days.
Yes it's that bad.
I have a number of girls in my WeChat contact list. Friends. But they are open.
I'll post an update if they want that I introduce them to people here.
Funny enough just outside my hotel a Chinese lady was harassing foreign men asking them if they wanted "massage". I met non during my month-long trip in September, not even in NanJingLu.
Stay safe!
Just returned from Shanghai.
The weather is indeed stormy. I do not have any first hand knowledge on the condition of the spas, my Chinese friends reported they had all closed, with no idea of if and when they might reopen.
We went to our usual massage place, pretty much a standard place, with a lame happy ending only on offer. All of the showers had been removed from the rooms, there was only one shower shared by all. This looked like a permanent thing, it was not a trivial thing to rip out all of the showers, though the basic plumbing was still there. HJ was 300 RMB, crazy, but was there with my local friend and didn't want to look cheap.
Finally got to check out Judy's, on a Wednesday night. The place was heaving with girls. Perhaps 10 guys at most there. A lot of the girls had no business being there, literally at least 100, if not more. Many would go home alone that night. I brushed off a few, and then one of the most beautiful Vietnamese girls, with big, firm, round boobs and the most beautiful of faces came to chat with me. Passable English, I told her I was looking for a desperate woman, who wanted to have some fun.
"that's me!
1500 RMB for all night, plus 100 for taxi since I was far away. She stayed for breakfast.
I was prepared, with my baby oil, cocoa butter, and several different toys. She had never seen a toy before, and enjoyed them very much. She was satisfying in all ways, and was most memorable. Her name was Lisa, if you see her at Judy's treat her well and she will show you a good time.
I hope to see her in Ho Chi Minh City sometime soon. I love Vietnamese women!
What is a police raid at judy's / manhattans?
The police have showed up there a number of times over the years and done a passport check. They typically only ask the girls not the white guys. That being said, if you don't have it my understanding is you will be leaving with them to go to your hotel and show them.
Do you have any more info on what they did when they got there? They didn't throw girls out for spending limiits, the bar does. Not trying to be argumentative just trying to understand what the weather is really like. Judy's is my favorite place!! See my posts.
