ANOTHER WEEKEND IN HONG KONG: Once a month I've got to take the 2+ hour flight over to Hong Kong and report into the boss. This will inevitibly lead to an evening of heavy business negotiations over just who's expense account will pickup the tab for dinner at THE DIRTY DUCK (Bebek Bengil, a great indonesian place on Lockhart Road in the Wan Chai district) and more importantly, the client entertainment / drinking bill at NEPTUNE II.


As an international city and regional naughtiness hub for all things sweet, brown and lovely, WAN CHAI offers a great chance to enjoy lets say, a wide assortment of regional delights from the menu. We'll cover a few of our favorite HKG haunts over the coming weeks but essentially the best of the 20 something bars, pubs and go-go joints along Lockhart Road and adjoining side streets come down to 3 classics.


'Laguna' tends to be heavily visited by Indonesian girls on 'holiday' with a good dose of Pinays and local domestic helpers drinking their way to abandon every Sunday afternoon...


'Fenwick' is seriously dominated by the local Philippina mafia gals with a smattering of all others + a good bunch of Colombian girls who seem to have discovered their own SHANGRI LA in Asia...


and our hands down fav for a night out in Hong Kong, NEPTUNE II, definately the domain of lovely Thai sweeties of all shapes, shades and sizes. I also appreciate the much better served drinks, friendlier bar staff and the ability to use my VISA without paying the bar an additional 2 % 'commission' like some others insist on.


No cover, mixed drinks go for 4.50-7.50 US a pop, girls drink's are the same price as mens and its a very socialized atmosphere. Lots of dancing and flirting going on with a good mix of local naughty businessmen, visiting buyers and execs, sportsfans, ne'r do wells and a so so Philippino band.


As for 'apres dance' entertainment, HKG has pretty standard rates for girls in Wan Chai and the more upscale Lan Kwai Fong districts, of $HK 1000 or about $US 130. Time limits are generally not discussed or enforced except if you happen to like latina's.... seems the Colombian girls have some pretty strict rules and local handlers, which isnt true of the average SE Asian lady.
