August 2018 Data and Trip Report
Just got back from 5 nights in HK with a mate - thought I'd give some recent 2018 related info and experience of how it went down for us.
Stayed in a nice 2 bedroom Airbnb in the heart of LKF. Pictures were far more sparkly than the place itself, no doubt it cops a beating from tourists just like us - but very acceptable for our purposes and included a great rooftop drinking area with the city skyscrapers and apartment blocks surrounding us. Being August - it rained fairly consistently the whole time which put a damper on much sightseeing and restricted us to a mostly nightlife-centric trip.
First night was a Wednesday and we hit up Wan Chai on Lockhart for a gander. Had a walk further up the street to the Chinese centric area of neon lights and not a westerner in sight which was interesting but no bars up there. Came back to the main bar area which seemed pretty quiet by all respects. I had matched a decent Pinoy from tinder with a bangin body earlier in the day .. and her forwardness led me to think she might be a hooker. But she was staying in Causeway Bay and as it turned out I was like 'well just meet me for one drink, then we're going to LKF' - and so she did.
My mate ended up hitting up a slapping Balinese bird and we bounced them to LKF, and continued drinking at some bars there .. before we finally took them back to the rooftop at our apartment - easy home runs. As a side note .. boy, could I not hack Philippinas after this trip. Everywhere we went, just constant eye fucking. And the one from this night even telling me how cock hungry she was. It's like I think 'dude, there's more to life than cock.' But nup - I don't think there is for these birds.
Anyway, Thursday night after the usual rooftop predrinks we started to LKF and hit the top of LKF and D'Aguilar and buying time was really about 10-midnight there was some good dancing and crowds happening but it soon thinned out and we probably thought we had more options than we did - ended up hitting up Tonic on Wyndham and my mate had a solid lead but the friend was untenable. We went back down for kebab met some American bird who was pretty keen but then her friend was also likewise untenable for mine and we called it a night.
Friday night now okay .. this is where it finally got good and LKF comes alive. We hit Wagyu on Wyndham initially and all the afterwork crowds were there, and at almost all the bars up the street were pretty full. Met some random Irish birds to warm up then met some 3 Germans, only one of which was decent and another German guy trying his luck also. My mate hit it off with the decent and we all bounced to Stockton - a sort of hidden bar further up the street. I had a chat with the other 2 but not only were they closed in energy but not as hot regardless .. anyway, we soon bounced to Taz Ballroom which was really pumping. My mate got in the makeout with his one but I was like 'fuck this - let's bounce.'
Ended up at Dragon-i for a scope and a $200HKD cover charge, the whole place was pretty teeming. Initially seemed to be a few receptive Thai birds (well kept cougars let's say) but headed on through to the dance floor. I saw some stunning tall blondes - and soon found they were Ukrainian .. surprise surprise - going where the money goes - surrounding a table with those cats playing high end game, and that was untenable. Didn't see many other westerners around at the time so we went back to the Thai birds - and after buying a few drinks, getting the makeouts - my one suggested the bounce and it soon became apparent they were hookers - the fk bitch? You want $2000HKD for shopping?
Anyway, so we blew them off and went and found some blow which seems pretty free flowing here for a decent price. After getting wired af we headed to Bungalow on Wyndham, by this time it was around 4am and the best options were a couple o cute Spanish cats out for a good time with a great open energy. Easy enough, we bounced them back to the apartment and before coming up established a bit of rapport. Turned out 1 was married and the other was engaged - although the fiancee was back in Spain. Anyway, they came up to the rooftop regardless and eventually one was so drunk I had to take her down - after she made it clear to me that 'she really likes me, but her friend's husband runs the business that she is involved in and .. she doesn't want to see that "she does this" - some sort of story around that. But anyway, I put her into my bed, gave her some water, then went back up to the rooftop. By the time we all went back down - she'd disappeared to my utter surprise (I would've sworn she was about to pass out), and soon enough so did the friend - and that was that.
Saturday night .. hit up Wagyu on Wyndham again and ran into 4 quite nice looking blonde English birds, of which 2 were twins. My mate had one that seemed into him and I hooked another - but 2 against 4 would turn out to be a logistical problem..
They all seemed pretty cool but pretty sparkly and we suggested a bounce to Taz Ballroom. By the time we got there the place was fucking dead which made us look a little amateur. Granted it was only about 11pm - but still, Saturday night? Anyway, we had a drink or 2 regardless with ours in the outside area - while the twins were inside having a bicker about something. Eventually we suggested lets get some blow and go to our apartment - and they were quite skeptical about that, but I landed the makeout with my one and she 'trusted me' (although I think she was just a legit coke fiend) but she managed to convince the others to come with.
Anyway, all of us back at our apartment and the party ensued for hours and hours. Up and down from our apartment to the rooftop before it became apparent that we we had to move on 2 of them - my mate eventually shifted to one of the twins and we took them both up to the rooftop and left the other 2 in my apartment. Maybe half an hour after that I suggested to my girl to stay and she was keen and suggested to the other twin likewise, who was also keen. But it was obvious the other 2 were about to bounce which didn't seem like a problem .. until we all went back downstairs and before I could even comprehend what had happened or even say goodbye - all 4 of them bounced and that was that. It was about 530 and we were utterly flawed they blew us off just like that. But it was obvious the other 2 were left out and what could we do? Never even got any contact info. Anyway.. we went back out to the street for some gutter game and ran into some more Germans but it became obvious the night was done and the rain just kept pelting down.
Sunday afternoon we were in Wan Chai for a feed. We were aware of the scene that goes down there at Neptune but the desperation of the Philippinas and P4P just doesn't interest us. Anyway, come Sunday night we had minimal expectations about what to expect from LKF. The streets and bars were pretty dead - particularly Wyndham street and D'Aguilar was just okay. But I had a Chinese lead on Tinder who was keen to meet out for a drink and when she came out the vibe was cool, well educated, and she'd spent some time in Australia also so I figured she was keen. However, my mate was third wheeling which was a bit of a problem. Eventually she bounced back to her hotel in Wan Chai cause she had to work the next day - whatever, great we could move on.
We ran into 3 Portuguese girls on the street, and had a nice chat but only one of which was a nice 7 and the other 2 were a serious dive - which again, left us with a problem. About an hour or so passed and the Chinese girl messaged me from her hotel to see whats up - I suggested I could come and she was like okay. So I suggested to my mate .. you stay around and see what you can do but I'm gonna bounce to this girl. So that's what happened. He ended up losing the Portuguese girls regardless though but still had a good night - and I got my Chinese flag.
As a side note, many many matches on Tinder and some quality at that. But pfft, what can you do for a few days? For anything quality - you'd need to live there or at least spend substantial time there - unless you hit the odd high 6 or low 7 who likes Westerners which I was lucky enough to do. But out and about we didn't hit on them and you could tell they pretty much keep to themselves. So we generally stuck to the Western girls of which there were plenty.
Overall thoughts on LKF and HK: there was a level 1 Typhoon watch for the time we were there, the weather balled us a bit and we didn't really get any sightseeing in other than a few walks here and there. I think I heard Creepin say HK feels a bit like clunky graphics and a slow frame rate - and I echo those sentiments. It's still Asia and it still feels like a bit of a popsicle stand where nothing quite makes any sense. It's a big city, and for a holiday - what do you expect to do for weeks on end? Still recommended though for 3 or 4 nights, and we came in low season even - I'm sure high season is probably 2-3 times as busy as what we saw. So there's fun to be had and lot's of it - but Friday and Saturday night is where it's at. It's a nice party district, and for us, flying 8 hours direct from Perth at $720 AUD is not a bad little trip. And yeah .. no Aussie girls? Fucking *great*
