The thing about dropping into Galaxy gay sauna for a blog update, is that it's like visiting a grubby old spinster aunt........Nothing's changed for ages and nothing really looks clean no matter how hard she tries......But the place just sucks in the fags non-stop.

The sauna is located in an old grotty building with a long narrow entrance. Look carefully, you could miss the entrance. Go up to the 5th Floor in an old-style 1950's elevator. The building is just spitting distance from Exit C2 of Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station, so it's location is highly convenient.

This is one sauna that gets very packed. Unlike other gay saunas, patrons pay on their way OUT. (Others charge on entry). Remember that as it can be confusing. The standard of English from the middle aged staff is not that high, but they do smile and make an effort to be friendly. It also appears to be the cheapest gay sauna in Very Rich Megacity ("VRM") at HK$58.00. That's less than half of what it costs to get into the other gay saunas around town.

What sort of dudes show up here? Very popular with middle aged and elderly chinks from VRM and the Mainland but increasingly, buff younger chinks from VRM, some of whom can be quite built. There are also overseas Banana chinks from the West who use this sauna as the starting point for their explorations into VRM's gay sauna scene.

There is a regular stream of whites and foreigners both local and tourist. Often, older whites may show up with a much younger chink so it's probably a commercial transaction.

Expect to hear lots of Cantonese and Mandarin spoken (plus the wails and shrieks of Karaoke when they forget to close the music room doors). The large flat screen TV near the Reception Desk will be blaring as well - oddly enough, with English language documentaries and Chinese game shows.

The place starts to fill from about 4pm onwards. Main action times are between 4pm and 9pm on weekdays. After that, it empties pretty quickly, although it's open till midnight.

If you didn't get it the first time, the place is Grubby. Check out the shower area and the single urinal and decide for yourself. FuelMix recommends you take a pair of flip flops. The main toilets are right at the end of the premises on the left hand side.

Try not to barf in disgust when the shower that fills up to your ankles, is peppered with spit from the other showering chinks. (Hint: go to the end of the premises on the right hand side and use the showers there. They're "cleaner").

Although the place is packed, action may be hit and miss. Some of the middle aged chinks are really effeminate, even though many of them are probably married. There's no shortage of groping though - and with a body like FuelMix's, it can be overwhelming and annoying.

As mentioned in previous postings about Galaxy, it is possible to find some extremely raunchy submissive chink fags - if you don't mind them being ugly. (And in some cases, Fugly). FuelMix found some really talented foot lickers and toe suckers here as well as fags with an armpit fetish - well at least when they saw FuelMix. And when he's licking your armpits you can't see his face, so what do you care if he's Fugly?

There's a disconcerting but well accepted convention of simply throwing the towels on the floor in the Locker Room area. It's kinda gross but the attendant sweeps by every few minutes and scoops them up.

Expect to see lots of chinks just standing around - not modelling coz they're too Fugly for that. If the customer has a great body **Ahem ** the older chinks will doggedly follow you around and the younger ones will just turn their "noses" up.

This place is undeniably successful and cheap. They have no problems attracting clientele. Whether a dude gets mass hot action is debatable, but more likely than not, there will be a chink around to offer service. (Just don't look at him too closely and keep the lights dim).

But............ it's Grubby and Fuglyville.
