    No consternation on my part (or her's). She is young, beautiful and drinking in Wan Chai - easy assumption to make. I don't look down on the working girls anyway, rather talk to them than most bankers.

    memberships

    Trebor, the whole membership thing in HK is a bit complicated. Some places it's about paying and others it's about knowing someone etc..

    Here's my breakdown based on things I've pieced together.

    Drop - helps to know someone (and I hate to say it) be female. I got membership with some of my female friends last year simply by speaking to the management. Other I've heard have had to pay for the privilege.

    Prive - I believe you have to pay (something like 15,000 a year which you get back in alcohol?)

    Dragon I - it's about who you know?

    Mint - pay. About 6,000 from memory

    Kee club - know someone (and pay?)

    Feather boa - probably someone you know..(?) this place is somewhat notorious for being racist.

    Volar - I have no idea. If anyone knows let me know - I quite like the music there.

    Some people really get pissed off when they can't get in somewhere. On one view I agree - the elitism, materialism and looksism (?) around here etc is a bit sickening at times, but the thing to remember is not to take it too personally - often these places are just too packed. I lump it in as part of the HK experience unfortunately. (Just about everyone has been rejected at drop at some point hehe - myself included)

    C, when are you coming down to HK? Volar is great - it has a House/electronic room and and R&B room.

    I should add that with most (but not all) clubs you can often get in if you get there early enough, are 'presentable' and polite, even if you are not a member.

    going early- i need my nap before going out!! =)

    over here, i usually have a contact/doorguy that i know...or if i get to a place where i know no one, telling the door guy bottle service please usually works. unfortuntely this didn't work when i was at prive at 1.30am...(unless of course bottle service doesn't mean the same thing in hkg?)

    i'm supposed to be there midjune- waiting on one of two options- i get laid off/nice severace pkg, or the firm that's taking over gives me a decent offer for the hkg office...if the latter occurs then i'm on their timeline, but from the looks of it, both eventualities = mid-late june time!
