Getting There

Depending on your point of view, getting to Towel Club gay sauna is either a breeze or a bitch. Causeway Bay is one of the most densely populated parts of town and has the pedestrian, the road traffic and the pollution to show for it.

Take the MTR to Causeway Bay Station. Get off the train and start looking for the signs that point to Exit A.

Be patient, bring some bottled water and some sandwiches because navigating through the pedestrian tunnels, escalators and underground shopping mall that make up Exit A is epic. So epic that the fag will truly wonder where the hell he's going. Whilst in the pedestrian tunnel, look for the signs that say "Times Square".

If the fag has diligently followed the MTR signs, the final escalator UP will bring the fag into the foyer of Times Square.

On arriving into the foyer of Times Square, turn sharp LEFT IMMEDIATELY and head towards the street. Step out onto the street and it should say Sharp Street East.

Face to your right and start walking down Sharp Street East towards Canal Road East which is a MAJOR traffic thoroughfare. If you can see a flyover whilst walking down Sharp Street East, fine.

When you reach the corner of Sharp Street East and Canal Road East, TURN LEFT and keep walking down Canal Road East, parallel to the flyover, crossing 2 little lanes with Chinese names on your left. One of those lanes is Yiu Wa Street.

Then, there is a MAJOR intersection with Leighton Road on the left and a pedestrian crossing on your right that will take you directly under the flyover. Wait for the pedestrian light to turn green, cross Canal Road East and walk directly under the flyover.

Under the flyover there is another set of pedestrian lights to take you across Canal Road West. Cross that too and then face to your LEFT.

Now here's where it gets a bit tricky:
(a) follow the bend of the road towards the RIGHT;
(b) coming out of the bend, there is another pedestrian crossing to your LEFT. You should be looking at a road island, beyond which is a Golden Dragon sculpture on a grassy patch;
(c) use that crossing to cross the street and you should be standing on that road island. The Golden Dragon sculpture should be just ahead of you. The road island you're standing on is the junction of Morrison Hill Road and Leighton Road, with Canal Road flyover behind you;
(d) on the road island, there is a pedestrian crossing to your RIGHT. Take it;
(e) that will bring you to the entrance of Amber Commercial building, just a few steps to your LEFT;

The building is stone grey. Go through the glass doors into the small lift lobby. On the Tenant's Board for 3/F are the words "TC".

Take the lift to the 3rd Floor and ring the bell. Wait for them to shout so you can push it open.

Comment

FuelMix attempted to follow the map found in one of the monthly pocket-sized free fag publications here in Very Rich Megacity. The map was crap, FuelMix wandered around, got pissed off and trashed the map.

What is even more surprising is the conspiracy of silence and complacency that characterizes the urban fag in allowing poor standards in mainstream fag publications. Any business worth its salt would ensure crystal clear directions so that it could be found.

But then most fags are pay check to pay check employees and not business owners, so what would they care? And here in Very Rich Megacity, with increasing numbers of drug-fucked fags, complacency and sub-standards are showing alarming comparisons with the West.

Oh and one more thing: after you enter and plunk down the coin, they hand out a 20% discount card. Turn it over and you'll see a real clear visual map on how to get to this place.

Typical fag brain: tell you how to get there, once you're already there. Guess that's why we all like to fuck back to front.

What does FuelMix think about this gay sauna? Wait for Part 2.
