Can someone sum up what's it like to live in hong kong or macau?
We (me and some grinders) and are considering moving to hk or macau, for the live poker option.

1. how are the live games? how fishy are they, how high do they run, are they in every big city? (in usd please)

2. how is it like for girls? are the girls hot? do they like white people? are there hookers? if so what are the prices like? do you guys use internet dating to look for chicks?

3. how are the internets? how hard is it to get good internets?

4. how cheap is life over there in comparison to the west? say beer price, food, accommodation, and going out partying?

5. how do you find the general atmosphere? do you feel threatened by locals often? do you see any violence? do you like to go out and party? do you ever get BS?

I am going China at the end of september.

I got my visa from the China embassy for 1 month period ( first time I go to China )

Is it possible to get an extension while I am in China and how long is that extension ?

Is it hard to get ?

1: Poker is not legal in HK. A pokerhouse just got busted last week. So only poker in Macau. Blinds in Macau 1-2 US to 10-20 US daily in several casino's. 50-100 US in Wynn or Starworld during the weekend. Terrible grinders in the low limits, clueless people. from 5-10 US and up the players atleast know what they are doing.

2: Macau has the hottest girls in China. All the hot girls are 'imported' from the rest of China to work in the entertainment business. Really hard to find any normal girls. No idea about price or internetdating.

3: No idea

4: Price wise is Macau inside the casino the same or even more expensive as in the west. The prices for the local Kantonese restaurants are much cheaper. Meals between 5 and 10 US dollars are easy to find if you like Chinese food. There is what I heard 1 good club in Macau, but still almost only hookers in the club. Decent appartments 3BR go around 1000-1500 US.
As macau is really small, u can basically get from any place on the island to another place in max 30min.

5: Macau is really safe. It's a old Portugese colony so they are familiar with 'white' people. I never seen any problems, although i'm always in the casino area's and not in the local areas of the city.

More questions, just ask.

U can get an extension in China but that's will cost you much money. The best way is to get a visa flight to HK and renew it there.

Wasn't there for long, but...

1. Dunno.
2. I'd say average on the whole, the younger girls very hot on the whole. They're pretty used to white people, and you don't necessarily have the same "I'm relatively rich from a nice place" thing going for you like elsewhere in Asia because, lets face it, HK is probably better than where you're from, and it's nearly as expensive. I would very much assume there were lots of hookers, but that's not my scene.

3. Dunno. I got stuck in a bad hotel, so mine was weak. I assume it's top notch in general, but don't know.

4. Depends on where you go in HK. Causeway Bay, Central, Mid Levels are all going to be about the same as any other major Western city; TST a bit cheaper, Mong Kok cheaper still. There are definitely good deals to be found ($1-2 meals on side streets and stands), and food on the whole is cheaper than in the West, but lots of other stuff, especially imported things, are going to be similar in price. Accommodation is expensive. I think $25/night was the cheapest I could find for a hotel, and it was about as large as the bathrooms at the $10/night places in Vietnam. About as comfortable too. Really, it's not a great place to go for budget travel or for someone wanting to get more from their money. But it's exciting, I just don't know if I'd want to spend more than a couple weeks there. Especially not in the wet season since it's hardcore wet there.

5. Atmosphere is energetic, very, very crowded, very busy, not terribly relaxed at all. Safety was never a concern. It's probably the safest place I've ever been, even at midnight. Never once felt remotely scared or worried at all. Remember, at any given point there's like 500 other people within 10 feet of you, so no one's going to try to stab you or something. Pick pocketing and the like is all I'd be worried about.

No

Enlighten me

well in the 8+ years i have been here i have been to more than 80 cities, in every province, rural and urban.

The hottest girls in china are in 大连, followed closely by 杭州, then 哈尔滨，沈阳， and 武汉 to top of the top 5.

i'll be in GZ for the week, anyone around? spanish grinders, awake and PM me

Buddy u like Korean girls, not Chinese... . Harbin, Shenyang and Dalian are so high up north hehe.
It might be true however, as I've never been there.

We got a game this saturday if you are interested, small stakes.
