Oh dear,
It seems I HAVE TO answer to this one 
First, in summers, I was hanging at Neptune II (ages ago)...which became HK Cafe ...and now, under DIFFERENT OWNER, Players II.
Then for YEARS my HQ was Escape ...until a staff ~ insulted me
(huge cost of opportunities for waitresses and the bar; girls would just meet where I want)
...and badly managed for the last years it shut down (expected) for good (overdue) in aug 2020.
Since then my HQ has been JB ...with some rare visits to Taboo.
(at the end of the day ~ALL those bars are under 2 groups...and I am close to some waitresses in both places)
So I know those places and the people around. I have credentials.
The impact of the coronavirus has prevented foreign ..."tourists" to come to HK...so no more Russian, Brazilian, Mongolian, Indonesian, Thai....
other than those few who got Permanent ID card, in one way or another, or are "domestic helpers", real or fake...as it was at Escape.
So VERY VERY BAD.
The best among those "locals" have "hedged" themselves...with some of their key clients (making it easier and safer for both parties) to survive.
Many "locals" have folded and gone home.
End of 2020 - early 2021, I was ~ doing the same with an Indonesian....until march as she did not want to be vaccinated
...while bars closing hours changed from 6pm (no business for girls) to 10pm (marginal business)....so more business but more risks.
My July 2021 "holidays" were looking BAD....until I contacted Jasmine https://go141.com/en/A22712-SW-141Walk-up-Jasmine.html
She was vaccinated and july was looking much better 
So most of my (many) evenings in July 2021,
I was at JB with Jasmine, Bobo (https://go141.com/en/B43838-CB-Massage-BOBO.html) and others from Hing Loong or Phoenix, sometimes in pair or ...3 once !
Wrote a post, in Newbie section, on 13/9/2011 about this.
It was therefore a GREAT July at JB, especially with the excellent staff and ...the very talented lead female singer (and entertainer)
of the Typhoon 7 band, Aura!
I would NOT have gone out with ANY of the local girls (left over) that were around! Period! 
Value for money, for overnight, some 141 just crush the usual...even before coronavirus.
(only my Indonesian, now vaccinated, friend stays in my list after Jasmine and Bobo)
When you see some Phils helpers fighting to death for HKD500 on the pavement in front of T... with 4 bouncers trying to separate them,
it's desperation. It tells how bad it is.
When you have heard some VERY LOW prices some girls are ready to accept, it's real desperation
...and that will not get businessmen-bankers with wallets to Wanchai (or LKF)
Better turn monk going into meditation that going out with what is left.
Early july after "in house" play with Jasmine, at 4am on the way home, I stopped at Players II to ...see
(I have good relationship with management there).
It was loaded with drunk girls and clients. Embarrassing. Ran away asap. 
Maybe it was a bad day, so I tried another evening coming earlier with Bobo for drinks. Waitresses were rude and sloppy.
Left asap to JB.
So I wrote the place off and just went to JB with my usual mainland Chinese (that was a shock for many at JB  ) gang for the whole month of July.
However, above Players II, Wanthai (same ownership) is EXCELLENT.
The cooks are the former cooks from...Escape where food was excellent too.
Early evening, Wanthai food is available at Players II and ...JB.
The situation will NOT improve for a while as the 7s for April 2022 are gone too, so "THE EVENT" of the year for Wanchai is gone again.
Girls left are struggling, waitresses too.
Some have moved to work in restaurants (real ones, not bars with restaurant license), more WILL.
After years enjoying time with Wanchai bars girls (still in touch FB or e-mail with several grounded at home),
for my foreseeable future, when going out for evenings in those places, I will be walking in with Jasmine or Bobo at my arm.
Simple enjoyable great evenings.
Going alone getting headache to find a partner there for fun after is NOT fun.
I heard from JB staff, that another of those ladies, who came with me in July was seen at JB recently, ...likely OVERNIGHT with a client. | |
) gang for the whole month of July.
