    It really has a population that knows it is coming into the world and wants to know more.
    But still retains in many ways that old world charm.

    Yes maybe we can meet up some time..

    Ancient mother is on her last legs.. So, with that and Daughters formal education becoming more important, will lower our visits .. Same frequency for business reasons .. Less time.

    Keep those reports coming in..

    Okay, well this may go too much into the same category of the other stories I've told, but this one was just way too... something... for me not to share. I wrote this in an email to someone, but it's a long story so I'll just more or less copy and paste it.

    ----------------------

    Hong Kong, Chapter One:

    On tuesday of last week I decided to travel to Hong Kong for just one night. I wanted to get away, do a bit of sightseeing and generally just be on my own for a bit. I also used the excuse of wanting to buy a camera, as they are cheaper in HK than mainland China. So Wednesday I booked the cheapest hostel in the city and prepared my bag for the short trip. I went out that night for a few drinks and returned home early to get a good night's sleep before my early trip. I had planned on leaving Huizhou around 9:00, hoping to arrive in HK by 1:00 pm. So at around half past midnight I feel asleep, quite anxious for the next day.

    Some three and a half hours later I awoke. I shifted around for a few minutes but could not fall back asleep and I slowly noticed that my left hand was very tingly and uncomfortable. I figured it had fallen asleep and shifted positions to try and revive it, to better allow the rest of me to sleep.

    That didn't quite work. And it began to dawn on me that not only was my hand tingling, but it hurt quite a bit as well. So I turn on the lights, sit down and as my eyes adjust I notice that my left hand is roughly three times the size of my right. Spider bite.

    I decided to just leave for HK right that minute in hopes of finding an english speaking doctor fast. While my Chinese is improving, I am not able to explain "oh, a spider bit me in my sleep and now I need anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic". Upon arriving at Shenzhen (which is next to HK but in Mainland China) I quickly learned the mandarin words for pharmacy and bite and spider and found a pharmacy that would sell me anti-inflammatory but not anti-biotic. By this point my hand was in excruciating pain and I was literally unable to move it more than a centimeter; my fingers were frozen in upright position.

    After another 2 hours to get to HK I finally found an english-speaking pharmacist and received the drugs I needed. Some 3 hours later the pain had declined to the point of being acceptable. Though I was still unable to half-way make a fist.

    Nice way to start a trip.


    Hong Kong, Chapter Two:

    That night I wanted to have fun. I'd had a shite day, I was still getting over my pain and I'd barely slept. Sadly, HK is nothing like China. I cannot simply go to a bar or club and make friends within 10 minutes. Nobody cares about white people in Hong Kong. So after failing at a few joints I just went to the local Aussie pub and hung out with a Swedish guy for a while; which was nice, he was a hockey player!

    I departed there some time around 12:30 and decided I wanted a couple more drinks before turning it in. Just then I noticed not far from my hostel a place that advertised as "Bar, table dances, girls". It had a picture that looked similar to a fairly typical and tame strip-club from Montreal. Now, I've not been to a strip club since the first weekend I was in Montreal before I even lived there, when I was around seventeen, and the idea never really appealed to me (too much money!). But at that moment I thought to myself that I'd had a terrible day, no one would talk to me anywhere anyway, and I wanted a few more drinks; screw it, I'm going to the strip club!

    As I walk up to the door a man goes to lead me down the stairs. I ask him how much a beer is (to make sure I'm not being royally ripped off) and he tells me $40 HKD - about $6 Canadian - which is perfectly fair in Hong Kong. So I order a Heineken as we descend.

    The minute I hit the bar I realize this is not what I expected. This is no strip club.

    Welcome, fellow, to our bordello - to quote Nabokov.

    The 'club' is tiny; two private booths to my left, a few rooms through a door to my right, and one 15 foot bar with eight girls standing behind it in minimal clothing. Still, I've already ordered my beer, and this could only be funny, so why not stay!

    Right as I sit down the woman across from me begins chit-chat, oh, and taking her boobs out of her shirt. I must have looked pretty ridiculous when I started laughing, but I simply couldn't believe where I'd gotten myself. So I get my beer and this girl starts talking to me about whatever and trying to get me to touch, grope, lick her chest, until another girl comes up to my side and sits on my leg. Now both of them are flirting (uh... well, something like that) and begin touching me much more actively. They start to take my shirt off and lick me all over and it's beginning to dawn on me that I definitely must leave after one beer or I will not escape with my self-respect in tact.

    So they move down a bit and now one of them is licking my neck while the other undoes my belt and starts essentially giving me a handjob. I say to them "look, I'm going home alone tonight, so you can ease up a bit" - I think as much to convince them I won't pay as to convince myself that I wouldn't pay. I've never imagined paying for sex, not to mention my overwhelming fear of the STD risks that would carry, but I was freakishly turned on at this point and nearly bursting at the seams. If they weren't hookers I would have lost it and just started fucking one of them in the bar right there.

    They act a bit disappointed and then ask if I'd buy them a drink then. Sure, what the hell, get a drink. They get some fruity cocktail and go right back to assaulting me; this time, mostly with their mouths all over my body, and taking my pants off. Some time passes and I'm now shirtless (or unbuttoned at least) and my pants are nearly at my knees while two girls lick my legs and, well... and I finish my beer.

    The madam at this point comes over and asks if I'd like to buy the girls and me another drink. I say no, thank you, I should go. She asks if I'd like to take the girls with me and I'm pretty sure my answer was "maybe", but who can remember? So she tells me she'll bring me the bill. The girls then inform me that it would be 250 HKD to take them both home (so, about $30 Canadian) and the good side of my head starts fighting the evil and shameless side of my head. The bill comes and I'm still thinking about the girls and just how horny am I, as I look down, ah, $900 HKD owed, hmm, I wonder if I should take those girls home, how will I feel in the morning, is this worth it.... Wait. Nine hundred dollars? How fucking much were their drinks????

    I call over the madam; "Ah, I'm sorry, but I don't have this much money on me."

    "Well how much do you have?"

    "About $220 on me."

    "You can pay on credit card."

    "I don't have one on me."

    "Bullshit. What do you expect me to do?"

    "What do you expect me to do?"

    Some time later she calls over the pimp of the joint - by the way, the girls are still licking me at this point for some reason - and he struts over in a great 1970's Hong Kong fashion suit with nice colours and sharp lines and a clean haircut. He proceeds to write out exactly how much I owe after I hand him my $220 and asks what I intend to do.

    I tell him; "Look, I'm just a dumb kid. I thought this was a more western style strip club, I had no idea what was going on, this is only my second time in Hong Kong. I really figured the drinks were cheaper like my beer, and I just didn't know the score." He tells me he understands, but that something must be done to rectify the situation. So I tell him I can go back to my hostel room and get my credit card.

    (N.B. At this point in the story you're probably wondering how stupid I am given that I had no idea what the price for those drinks would be. Well, yes, I am an idiot. My one saving grace is that I'd been smart enough to leave 70% of my money and my credit card locked up in my hostel room. Thank god for that minor bit of intelligence on my part.)

    He says "Now why would I believe you'll come back? What hostel are you at?"

    "Chungking Mansion" (nope, Mirador).

    "And what floor?"

    "Sixteenth" (nope, thirteenth).

    "Okay," he puts his hand on my shoulder and squeezes gently; "if you don't come back, I'm going to be very angry. I will be quite upset, do you understand?"

    "Yes I do."

    So with my dignity still slightly in place and my pants pulled back up around my waist I button up my shirt and walk out of the joint. I was quite certain my bones were about to be broken when I realized what was going on, and felt it an absolute miracle I got out of there with so little hassle. I turn my head as I chuckle to look back on where it all happened. But, uh, one of the guys from the bar is about 30 feet behind me. Hm.

    So I turn a corner. He's still behind me. So I walk through the hall of a building. He's still behind me.

    Shit. Well, what to do? Think of every James Bond movie I've seen and all spy-related and cops-and-robbers material I've ever soaked in and search for escape plan 1A. Something has to be done fast and as nothing more inventive can be thought of I revert to the standard Bugs-Bunny-Escaping-Elmer routine. I turn a sharp corner, pick up a news paper at a newsstand, put it flush against my face and body and wait until I can see the guy walk past me out of the corner of my eye. He stops at the next possible turn, looks for a moment, and chooses left (for whatever reason I don't know). I calmly put down the paper, receiving an odd look from the woman working the store, and walk the opposite way.

    Needless to say I neither walked in front of the strip club or Chungking Mansion for the rest of my stay in Hong Kong. But I still consider myself lucky for getting out of there in one piece.

    -------------------------------
    La Fin
    -------------------------------

    The one thing I know for sure about living in China is that I'll never go more than 4 days without a story to tell. Just last night a buddy and I picked up some girls outside the club and asked them to go with us for food. So they took us to some out-of-the-way joint at 2:30 in the morning and we sat outside and ate. Some time nearing the end of the eating, the girls were all cheering on the girl sitting next to me to kiss me, touch me, hold me. So she complies. Eventually she's rubbing my chest/stomach and going at my neck. I jokingly move her hand down to my leg and she immediately moves it up to my cock. She starts going full at it and telling all her friends in Chinese "big, big, hard..." So then the other girls at the table are coming over and sticking their hands down my pants, etc....

    I suppose most of the really weird stories revolve around this sort of stuff, but it truly is this bizarre over here.

    I'll post some more tame stuff later...

    Outside of bars/clubs, what kind of recreational activities do people participate in?

    That's a damn fine question.

    I've asked every one of my students "What do you do in your free time?" Most of them answer "Nothing".

    So of course I press and inquire if that means they just stand in a room and stare at the walls for the entire weekend. They burst out laughing and then tell me that sometimes they go shopping, and sometimes they watch tv, and sometimes they talk to people...

    Wait, did you just list talking to people as an activity?

    Anyway, most of them don't really do much, to be honest. Some of them go swimming when it's really hot out, some of them play badminton, some of them play basketball, and many of the young ones (8 - 12) do kung-fu. But I've met very few people here who play music, or go on weekend trips, or day trips, or even just stroll in the park.

    In truth, they spend an inordinate amount of time on the internet and playing computer games. I can't tell you how many students I've asked what their favourite sport is and their answer is "computer game".

    I just read the Hong Kong story and that was HILARIOUS! You got ripped off like such a newbie, practically textbook! (I have to say, I'm not surprised.)

    China sounds like a pretty cool place to be for a foreign man. I'll be reading across the thread for more stories.

    If you find yourself in medical trouble I can recommend any of the larger hospitals in Shenzhen..
    Many of the doctors have some English and are happy to have a chance to speak it.

    They are quick and cheap. Their dispensaries are very cheap.

    Hey mate i have lived in bangkok for 9 years, all of oriental asia is like that, they look they stare at you so what, i;m shy it does not bother me, they giggle, i have many oriental friends & family, orientals are like this they seem to think whites are like special, they spend billions of dollars each year on whitening cream so they can be white too, they walk around with umbrella's in sunlight to stop getting dark skin, in asia dark skinned orientals are looked down upon as the lowest of low working class workers.
    They never get used to looking at whites, your like a novelty to them, so enjoy the attention, if you dont like attention work in london or new york, there you will be totally ignored, even if you ask for directions they will ignore you, i know i have tried, it seems english is not the language of londeners or new yorkers, mind your own business & dont bother me is there 1st language.

    Uh..no. There are whole billions of populations of asians who are whiter than caucasians. You are not the only light-skinned people on the planet. It's eurocentric thinking that associates lightskin with caucasians. My skin is lighter than most caucasians I see.

    Heh, as for staring. Then you know how i feel when i happen to pass through a redneck town in america and get stared at ESPECIALLY if i enter one of their establishments. Most all of them all STARE or leer like i just came from a different planet. The only difference is america is a melting pot. Asia is new to that with other races. Use some fucking common sense as well right now europeans are influencing all of the world with thier technology and culture as back in the day asia did at one point. Duh!

    Your egoistic assumption that they want to be lighter has nothing to do with caucasians. You are talking about thai? they are darker as they live in tropical areas. If i go to india or the middle east and they want to be lighter do i assume they want to be asian?? LOL. Even that cultural phenomenon of lighter skinned asians being perceived as higher class than darker stems from those who were darker usually were peasants who worked outdoors doing manual labor. How stupid of you to believe it all has to do with you and europeans.

    Let me explain what's going on and how the perception works. Most asians when they see a westerner first assume they are american. It's a bit stereotypical but that's all they have to go by. They also because of the media images they've seen assume americans live this grand style of movie stars and always having fun and all is good all the time. This is where their worship and infatuation stems from.

    I know a white woman and even her friends in hollland had the same infatuation and starstruck of their perception of america that it's a land of milk and honey and everything is so much better. Well, she tried to explain to them thier perception was off especially as she never saw it that way per her life but they didn't understand it as they were always bombarded by the media images of glitz and glamour and we are so happy etc. Its' usually the working class and those struggling who are most susceptible. It doesn't matter what race but america is seen by a lot of people around the world especially by those who are more naive and working class as a place flowing with milk and honey. She even said that holland was a lot better in other ways than they could ever know. it's always more fascinating and more glamorous thinking everything is greener on the other side, also it's a distraction from what they are used to and brings some novelty. Some of thier assumptions and fantasies are true but most of it's not. A lot of westerners that go overseas enjoy the attention and even play it up and exploit their naivete. They feel more special there than back home where they are just another joe.

    if you bothered to read my post, i said dark skin in asia is associatied with the low working class!!!!!!!!!!!

    You seem to have no concept that billions of doolars is spent each year on skin whitening cream in asia, its not blackening cream there buying.

    If you have a problem with that take it up with orientals not me.

    As for me & most whites we spent all our money on sunbathing in exotic places to look dark skinned, the class system means nothing to us.

    The problem is with in your culture not mine, japanese & chinese or thais in the uk, are all the same to me i dont grade them on the shade of there skin colour, unlike your fellow orientals as being low class & high class.

    My expierence is with talking to oriental relatives & friends, i have told them where all the same, but they think the white look is special, me i think the oriental look is special.

    So dont lecture me because you have a bug up your ass, i actually dont like whites, i like orientals for there politeness, there peaceful ways, and buddism, you seem to be looking for a redneck, yeah i'm a redneck against whites, i'm a oriental stuck in a white mans body.

    Save you bullshit for someone else, i aint special, never said i was.

    You are the one bugged. Its' because i called you on the fact you are like the ones i described. LOL.

    Would you like to reread your post and you were practically salivating at the thought they want to look lighter. You also assumed it had to do with caucasians and that was clear from your post so stop denying it! If you knew anything of the culture the light and dark skin prejudice was going on long before whites stepped on thier shores, LOL.

    You are pathetic flattering yourself stupidly and an ass. Yeah, sure you didn't mean any association of that with 'caucasian'. LOL. What a liar, that's why you were pissed because i rained on your ego parade and embarassed you.

    Another huge,huge lie. You must believe your lies to say such retarded shit! O my gawd.

    You GLOSSED over my point, mofo. Most caucasians are DARKER than me. Hello??? Lots of orientals are lighter than caucasians. Helloooo? earth to retard???

    Really? they like to look lighter and not tan? omigod, could it be they just have a different culture? So what! Are the caucasians tanning want to become africans?? We need to let them know, omigod. That must be it. LOL.

    I see so chinese are whiter than whites, yeah your half way into the asylum...




    "Most caucasians are DARKER than me"

    Do you honestly think i fucking care if a white ass is darker than your ass, you seem obsessed with being whiter than white people, yeah i am sure if some whitey from london is back from a 2 week sun bathing holiday, then gee whiz mr or mrs oriental there skin will be darker than yours, who are you charlie chan to figure that out.

    But if you have come up with a new colour of skin for asian people, that is whiter than a white caucasians, then you must present this to the scientific world, what are you a chinese albino.


    Once again explain to me why billions of dollars is spent in asia on whitening cream, if colour of skin makes no difference to you explain it to me???????

    Asian mentality, & culture is all based around the colour of your skin, if you have dark skin your fucked.



    "Lots of orientals are lighter than caucasians. Helloooo? earth to retard???""""


    Well i have lived in thailand & singapore & laos & hong kong for 9 years now, i have never seen a asian person whiter than me or other white people, maybe you can point me to such scientific wonders, maybe a circus where these chinese albino's are.

    Grow up, & for fuck sake get that chip pan off your shoulder over a persons skin colour, it will ruin your life, try using your brain & not your emotions over peoples skin colour.

    Damn, it's like i'm psychic I read people so well. I was FUCKING right about you from the getgo! Did you know that???

    You are the one OBSESSED and EGOTRIPPING over the idea that darker asians use lightening cream and assume that has to do with caucasians. You also call asians "oriental" like a patronizing asiaphile. You disgust me. Asians are not vases and rugs, dimwit.

    You have the nerve to tell me to get over skin color and your whole ego trip was over that you disgusting, lying, hypocritical pig. Take your own fucking advice.

    LISTEN UP. THERE ARE PLENTY OF ASIANS WHO ARE AS LIGHT OR LIGHTER THAN CAUCASIANS. THE ONLY REASON YOU GUYS LIKE TO TAN IS BECAUSE A LOT OF YOU HAVE PINK PASTY UNDERTONE THAT LOOKS DEATHLY AND UNNATTRACTIVE. GET IT DUMBFUCK?????

    ASIANS HAVE A DIFFERENT TONE. YOU ARE MOTHERFUCKING LIAR TO SAY THAT ASIANS DON'T HAVE LIGHT SKIN. WE DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A PINK ALBINO DUMBCUNT. WHY DO YOU THINK YOU GUYS WANT TO TAN????? IT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR """""""""TONE""""""""""""". IT'S NOT JUST LIGHT OR DARK, STUPID IDIOT. ANY CAUCASIAN CAN GO TO A CHINESE RESTAURANT AND SEE PLENTY OF PALE ASIANS BUT THE "SKIN TONE" IS DIFFERENT. WE DON'T LOOK LIKE WE JUST DIED SO WE DON'T HAVE AN URGE TO TAN. LOL. HOW ABOUT THAT ASSHOLE??? THE WHITES I'VE SEEN WANT TO TAN THE MOST LOOK LIKE THAT. LOL.

    YOU ARE A BLATANT LIAR TO SAY THAT ASIANS THAT ARE LIGHT DON'T EXIST. ALL MY CHINESE FRIENDS ARE PALE AS FUCK AS WELL AS KOREANS AND JAPANESE. SOME ARE DARKER BUT MOST ARE NOT. GO FUCK YOURSELF ASIAPHILE. YOU ARE NOT EVEN A FRIEND TO ASIANS YOU DISGUSTING PATRONIZING, CONDESCENDING FUCK. YOU TALK JUST LIKE A SUPREMACIST.

    The idiot thinks every light asian uses whitening cream, LOL. I am replying to this thread and I have never used such a product my entire life! I had two chinese roommates and they never did also as they are pale, so pale you can see the blue veins underneath the skin just like me. I have gone to tanning beds to get ready for summer though, LOL. But i don't do that anymore as i don't want to get skin cancer.

    I bet the biggest lightening cream industry is in southeast asia in tropical climates or where they use it the most. In china probably the same, more so in the south.

    Evidently this idiot hasn't seen how pale koreans or japanese are either. There are some pinkish toned asians but they don't look pasty. Does he really think we want to have the skintone of "babe" or "wilbur"? LOL. Those darker asian are trying to aspire to the pearlescent skin tone, believe that.
