Any travel now post Covid ( and its still rampaging) requires good understanding of what restrictions and isolation one may need to go through.
More prior planning needed these days before travel.

Singapore is currently nowhere what it was two years ago as a punting ground.
Many of the FL are gone back home, and I know some who cant back to Singo atm. So the scene has changed. But there would be options.
Exchange rates also are something punters need to understand. Singo was never a cheap punting location, and our exchange rate with Sing dollar is not good.

Thailand is probably best option atm. Not sure how Vietnam is recovering and rebounding.

Good points with all the Covid related matter, honestly, right now is not the time to venture out of Australia, we are probably the more safer punting place on earth at the moment.

In regards to Sing dollar, we are still in parity right ? Not much advantages against the Sing $ anyway, unlike the Baht or the Dong that’s for sure. You do feel like a richer guy when you visit those countries.

I was scammed a few times in a few locations in ASIA .. but nothing like that.


Last stop over in Shanghai, had girls calling my hotel room every hour... it was a short overnight stopover ,wanted just to sleep.
Was dicked around though by South China Air that trip.

Other issues, but very rare in comparison to the amount of punting I did overseas. Generally Im a savvy and experienced traveler, but sometimes we drop guard.

Cards scanned at ATM in Indonesia.

Stolen wallet and phones over the years.

Scammed in India, Malaysia, Singapore with freelance girls trying to re-neg on agreed services.

Sorry to hear about your experiences too..
Ya guys got to be careful .. if your sixth sense says it’s suspicious, then just pull out . Plenty of other fish in the sea and just not worth it ..
I learnt it the hard way and this is after I was experienced . I did warn a few other single dudes after that in nanjing who were getting hit by females from all corners..
got to look after each other ..

Thanks bro AHLUNGOR ..
Yes after experience I don’t feel comfortable at all in China .. maybe different for others .
I lived in HK so Shenzen was my weekend playground . This is probably 10 years back but it was a paradise .. don’t know what’s happening now but certainly cherish those days ..
Even HK had some real gems in some really tiny apartments ..
my preference in S E Asia is
Thailand
Phillipines
Vietnam
Cambodia

I also heard that even for city such as ShenZhen (just over the border north of Hong Kong) where it used to be like a punting paradise in the Canton province and horny guys from Hong Kong would go over to fuck and play every weekend and it’s now no more fun ! Along with some nearby towns such as the city of Dongguan where the infamous Dongguan style massage services were born!

So perhaps if people are going to China these days, have you fun in Thailand or Singapore or Vietnam or even Macao first or on your way back. Safety first, no ?

Yup at Parity now .
I was in Singapore 3 weeks back and options are still there but skimmed down a lot .
You don’t see those herd of girls from China , Philippines , Vietnam , some Latin girls as well queuing outside orchard road .
The options in Geylang have also reduced . It used be a line up of 20-30 girls easily in each shop and now I barely saw 4-5 …
Used to love my days in earning in sgd and spending in Thailand and Vietnam .. 😊

I was in SG just before Covid. Stuck to Geylang & Orchard Towers. Lots of Vietnamese. Also keep in contact with a really pretty young PRC who wants to visit Oz. I guess I’ll just have to show her the ropes…

I am well travelled , used to live in London , Bangkok , Hong Kong , Singapore and Bangkok so I don’t usually get scammed easily .
I was approached by one of the girls walking on Nanjing street. She asked for a coffee and said wanted to learn English. We talked for 30 mins , had a coffee , took a small walk and She got a little friendly with me..

Didn’t realise you lived in HK. I found those one room appartements quite good. Saw an Indonesian and a Korean there. I’m sure things are really quiet now though. HK is experiencing a huge wave and zero cases is still the goal (unattainable) forcing people to hide the fact that they have Covid otherwise they get shipped out and their whole building is shut down

Since Covid most of the girls gone back to their home countries.
I know several girls ( Viets PRC Indo Philipinnes ) and they have not been able to go back to Singo.

Orchard Towers has been rumored be going to new development and the '4Floors' may become part of history.

Still all over Singapore are small rnt massage shops in every old shopping center or busy commercial street.
Assume Geylang would still operate .

The Sunday afternoon 'tea parties' at OT were great.
Workers (Singapore help up by hundreds of thousands of foreign workers) from Phillipinnes, Malasysia, Indonesai india and other countries would party at the clubs and really let their hair down..
Was a great opportunity to meet, dance , drink and pick up a Pinay nanny for the night or over long term.

So this was a very different experience than OT at night with all the FL girls prowling the clubs looking for prey.
Think similar 'afternoon tea parties' happened in HK as well.

Sure did happen in HK too.

Was there a few years ago and happened to walk past a park with thousands on Pinay girls, was lucky to escape alive. Wasn't aware of this phenomena back then, but a real cutie latched on to me, bought me a t-shirt and some food. Got her back to my hotel for a session, but Cinderella had to be back at work by 6 pm.

NICE.. lots of fun those tea parties were.

Met a lovely Nanny and saw her every couple of weeks for a while, and then a MS sales girl for a few months, others for one offs.
Sadly, they used to work such long stints with very few days off.

Wow, what a story! Reminds me of something similar during a holiday in Beijing. 2 attractive girls approached me for ‘language exchange’ and asked if I’d be interested in going to a cafe with them.

I suggested the Starbucks which was nearby but they had some other place in mind which I naively went along with.

So we were sipping some very overpriced non alcoholic drinks when I started to get suspicious.

They wanted to take me to a karaoke bar next, which I refused.

All up the damage was 200 yuan(~ 50 AUD), which was fairly minor as things go.

Anyway, lesson learned - if an attractive girl approaches you out of the blue and wants to take you somewhere, be on your guard…it’s most likely a scam of some sort.

Ya I do remember the Sunday afternoon crowds . Parks been flooded with domestic helpers mainly Filipinas ..
I would love if there could be a similar geylang type set up in sydney ..
Collection of 100 shops all in a radius of 500m , each shop with 20 girls , cheap and no frills FS .. the days I wouldn’t have time, Geylang would do it for me ..
There were some Filipina shops behind boat quay as well just like they had inside OT .. I had a few contacts there who would meet me regularly outside on their day offs .. those were the best kind of hook ups .. take them out for a drink and then bring the girls back home for some no holes barred action .. in the end would book a cab for them to go back home ..

With the way things are going Shanghai 3 weeks of quarantine with the fear of a shutdown which from what I've been told by friends isn't tourist friendly.

All good advice but most of it is general only. I hav never been to China and cannot help. But as I understand the opportuities are everywhere. It could be girls working in the malls or resteraunts. So keep an eye open for those also and always try chatt thme up. They may like ti Aussie accent and want to try snags instead of fried noodles for a change. That was my experience in Philippines and Vietnam. I met most of the girsl through dating apps and most did not mind a fling with a foregner as long as they feel safe and trust you.

I found the information from ISG useful, its a fact that during Covid travel has not been there but the usual spots and locations dont change. As tourism picks up so will the activity. Going to a new place the biggest challenge is where to find pussy.

Good luck and give us your feedback on your return. I would not mind going to Chine and trying the better girls. What we get here is maybe not great talent.

What about the Covid lockdown in Shinzen. You must check before you depart so the 1 week is not spent in a dungy quarantine hotel. Better to go to Thailand instead.

I guess that's where the term "You've been shanghaied" came from!

There are more tourist and friendlier countries for us to visit.

Same here bro. Especially HK. I love the wonton Noodles there, the best in the world hands down!
I am seriously rueful of when I took for granted when I could travel there any time I wanted to have a bowl!
