Hey, if the girl likes you, why not keep her for the day by paying her the $800 and you can have her stay the whole day and nite with you. I always keep the girls that I like for few days. It is cheaper than go to KTV every night and trying hook up the right girl.

Dear 7sui,
I think we can all agree that there are dual purpose for going to KTV, to meet friends and having party and good time. the other is of course to meet girls, especially in China. They don't have girls available in North America KTV. They just rent rooms to individual customer. That's the reason why it is not popular in Canada or US. To have parties without the girls is not the same except like poker or card game where male bonding is expected.
p.s. I do miss those nude dancings at the end I'll be back sooner than later

Brother Cakesum, your trip is somewhat similar to mine but i travel to a few more places and If I found decent one, I will keep her for few days. Like you just found out the quality and attitude is hard to be sure inside the karaoke and inside the bedroom. It is all matter of pooning luck. i concur with your assessment of CP and CA. CP is always the main hub and you will never loss if you stay there even for the whole trip because eveything is there and close by. Like Brother 7 sui and Haidada said, you may find different treat from different town and I found it very true. Like in ZS, girls are so much different and the charges in and out of KTV is also so much different. Girls there are more custom to steady clientelle and won't go back to hotel with you on the first encounter. You could go home empty handed. It sucks, lucky, it did not happen on me.
Anyway, thanks for the postings and I hope to read more thread like this.
