After a gap of about 10 months, FuelMix dropped in on a Friday evening. It was raining and FuelMix, minus an umbrella, was getting soaked for the second time that day.  Those clothes needed to dry and he figured that if he had to get out of them, someone should pay him some attention.

The place was packed......god we've said that so many times in this review series.  This IS the place that just keeps bringing them in - FUGLY, FUGLY ONES.....it's like a rite of passage.  If you're Fugly, got to Galaxy. Stay there.

And the decor...?  This is what we said in Galaxy 17:

"The premises are as dank, damp, decrepit and dilapidated as ever - and don't forget the cryogenic air conditioning. Those elements, dear reader, are the winning formula for this place which by the looks of it, will never go out of business - just like they'll never smarten up the place.  The don't need to. Nobody cares.  Nobody complains."

The only thing missing was Billy Joel sitting at the piano singing, "I love you just the way you are".
But we did notice something. It's the meeting place for much older Chinese men looking to lavish attention on much younger Chinese guys with slim or semi-decent bodies. It's a safe space for both of them.  A few couples seemed to have an ongoing connection.  You'll find them huddled together in the main TV lounge outside the Karaoke rooms.

Is it easy to get attention? That depends.  If you're Fugly, like attracts like.  But some really Fugly ones were wandering around like sandwiches in search of a picnic. 

If you look like FuelMix, you'll get noticed but not necessarily get action.  There was no shortage of genuine compliments, and some were quite touching as the Chinese men tried their best English to express themselves. Many of the Chinese clientele know they are nothing to look at and FuelMix declaring himself better looking than them is cowardly, artificial and cheap.  Far better to confront those fucked-up, slant-eyed, racist gym boys in My Way or Big Top or Non-Action and let them get pissed off at a hot foreigner whom they think they can intimidate and ignore with rancid attitude and a head swivel. In Galaxy he decided it was better to be Eye Candy with a humble attitude, good manners and a smile. It went a long way.

Did FuelMix get action..?  Of course.  From a very clean, very hygenic well spoken Chinese gentleman  - who was a total bottom pig in the trough.  The management had to politely throw us out as they were closing.

And FuelMix's clothes dried nicely.
