Was at CP from last Mon to Fri with one buddy...

As follows is a quick summary of what I experienced...

# Fly via HK ...took the "A43 bus - Sheng Shui / Louhu - Train" option for my friend to experience an alternative route (total cost is 30.90HKD + 21.50HKD +44.50RMB + 20RMB)

# Stayed in Hui Mei Hotel
Seemed normal
No GA-looking people hanging around and no room checks

# Frequented PZL every day as still got vouchers and credit in member card
Footie as per normal
No body massage available (enquire about the massage vouchers that we still have, was informed that can either exchange for Yang Sheng Fang footie (1-for-1) or wait till massage service resume.
- Business was not good to the extend that they launched a one-week promotion (Massage 3 sessions and get a footie voucher that can be used the next visit / purchase a $2000 card and get additional 6 footie vouchers in addition to the usual vouchers allocation)

# Family KTV (Xin Pai Dui)
Was there for 2 nights. Did not experience or see any GA checks.
Business there was brisk.

#The most important factors - Girls..
I activated KCs / previous WGs for my friend and myself.
Have chance to try new girls as intro by my gal.

Summary ....

Overall trip was ok but still uncomfortable as there is fear of the situation.

In the streets and in hotel, still see lots of punters with meimeis in their arms.

The restaurant business was very affected especially those that we punters like to patronize. We went t o Xiao Fei Yang at 7 plus in the evening and there were only 4 tables of customers including us.

Those BBS card pushing aunties were still operating along Zhong Yuan Jie.

Many girls have left, some have found work in other sectors, but there are also quite a few who are doing quite well despite the circumstances. Like what my girl said .."Men are less choosy now ...some of her friends earned even more than before".

Though we did not encounter any problems, we are not as "motivated" to visit CP like before until the situation really stabilizes (so that we are certain of what to expect). Otherwise, I would probably bring my KC to an alternative place to "enjoy".

Cheers and cheong with care..
