No MSG, But.....

Meanwhile on it's way to becoming a world power.....

35 restaurants across China have been found illegally using opium as seasoning in their food, state officials say.

Five restaurants are being prosecuted over the findings, whilst 30 more are under investigation, according to the China Food and Drug Administration.

The eateries include a popular chain of hot pot restaurants in Beijing.

It is unclear how the opium came to enter the food, however, previous cases in China have seen chefs try to ‘hook’ customers on their food through use of the narcotic which can cause serious addiction.

In 2014, a failed drugs test led Shaanxi provincial police to uncover a noodle seller deliberately lacing meals with opium.

In 2004, a string of 215 restaurants in the Guizhou region were closed down following similar charges.

According to the official news agency Xinhau, poppy powder is available to buy in China at $60 or approximately £42 per kilogram.

It is commonly mixed with chilli oil and powders, which make it difficult for authorities to detect.

-----"Chinese restaurants shut down after seasoning food with opium to 'hook' customers", Independent 23 January 2016

FuelMix says:

1. We call bullshit on this article.  It appears to be sloppy reporting and white sensationalism - all part of the subtle anti-China meme we've noticed for a while.

2.  Note in particular the sloppy use of opium and poppy powder, as if the 2 were the same.  They're not.

3.  The poppy plant produces opium, whose derivatives include morphine, codeine, heroin and oxycodone. The unripe poppy seed pod growing in the poppy fields naturally secretes a milky fluid.

• That fluid is scraped off after the petals drop off.
• The fluid is mixed with calcium solution and hot water in large barrels. Stirred vigorously and left to settle for hours.
• The clear liquid that forms on the top contains morphine and is siphoned off into another container. A binding chemical is added to the clear liquid which is then returned to the barrels and heated. The chemical binds to the morphine causing it to sink to the bottom of the barrel.
• The contents of the barrel are stirred and filtered out.  The residue is dried in the sun, resulting in a brown morphine base.
• Morphine base mixed with another chemical solution and heated until it turns black. It is then cooled down, quenched with water and filtered to remove impurities.
• In separate container, sodium carbonate is dissolved in water, then added to the morphine base and stirred to create heroin base.
• Heroin base is mixed with more chemical solutions, including charcoal and water. Stirred and filtered multiple times to remove charcoal.  Resulting residue is dried.
• Another chemical is added to the dried heroin base and then filtered.
• The final dried product is white heroin hydrochloride - or powdered white heroin. Ready to be snorted, smoked or injected.

4.  We got all that plus the image from the US Drug Enforcement Museum Website.

5.  Oh.....and years ago, we were reliably informed by our genial (white) computer techhie - himself a recovered heroin and meth addict - that heroin is really bitter to the taste.  So how that could be added to noodles or mixed with chili oil without anyone noticing, is a mystery to us.

6.  Further, the poppy flower also has black poppy seeds inside the pod.  They too are harvested and can either be crushed or used as is.  They are found widely in the food industry.......you dumb faggots never had a poppy seed bagel with cream cheese....???

7.  In some countries like Singapore, anyone wishing to import poppy seeds e.g. for their bakery business, must first submit a sample for testing and approval to the Health Sciences Authority, who then forward the report to the Central Narcotics Bureau.  If the report is clear and no traces of morphine detected, the Central Narcotics Bureau will endorse and approve the Inward Declaration Form. Sounds fair to us.

8.  The sloppy reporting by the Independent doesn't actually say what was in the food, other than using words like "narcotic", "opium as seasoning", "poppy powder".  Total fuckin' confusion.

9.  Don't expect the white bitch who wrote it to issue a clarification, retraction or an apology. She needs the social media following to appear relevant......

Central Escalator vs Alexander

Spotted by FuelMix 20 January 2016 on Craigslist Casual Encounters here in Very Rich Megacity.  Allegedly written by a 45 year old white (?) guy:

Visitors to HK may find that visiting alexander is a waste of money and time. the staff are rude, the patrons uninterested in anyone who isn't asian, and the back rooms are so dark you can't even see who is there and who isn't.

central escalator, on the other hand, is super. nice staff, and friendly guys.
and no, i don't work for CE. i just happen to have found it better by far than the snotty snobby unwelcoming alexander

if you want to know more, mail me.

FuelMix says:

• Our reviews of Alexander and Central Escalator speak for themselves. Readers can make reach their own conclusions;
• We have not found staff at Alexander to be rude;
• We have not found the staff to be uninterested in anyone who isn't Asian. We've seen them assist whites and tourists in the sauna premises, not just from the Front Desk;
• Back Rooms are supposed to be dark....... that's why it's called the Dark Area.  We suggest eating more carrots to improve night vision......
• We have written that Alexander's reputation is taking a hit from being saturated with Mainland Chinese;
• We have been informed by our GAM throats-on-the street, and we have observed, that whites who patronize Central Escalator regularly show up in ABC in Tsim Sha Tsui (where the Dark Area is not that dark by the way.....

We love the way Mainland Chinese think they have the right to do anything they please, wherever they please (and No......we're not talking about the public display of their bodily functions on our streets).

It had been several months since we last hit Alexander.  There we were at the end of the week around 10pm and what did we see..?   Mainland Chinese smuggling bringing cans of beer into Alexander, stashing them in their lockers and swigging them in the Locker Area or in the seating/smoking area near the jacuzzi, or bringing them into the steam room and dry sauna - and then leaving the empty cans there.

The locals just rolled their eyes. We don't know what the management's position is on this.

What do we think..?  For starters, empty beer cans in a dark steam room is a hazard.

Grindr Is Now Chinese Owned **

** Subject to US regulatory approval

A few years ago, we informed our white acquaintances that the time was fast approaching that whites would be working for a Chinese company, and/or using the global services of a Chinese owned company.

We were greeted with taunts that we were anti-white, racist and the  usual whites-in-denial shit.

We present Exhibit A (underlining and bold print by FuelMix):

One of China’s newly minted technology billionaires signed a deal to buy a controlling stake in Grindr, the world’s biggest gay social-networking app.

Beijing Kunlun Tech Co., an Internet games company that helped introduce Angry Birds to China, offered $93 million in cash for 60 percent of New Grindr LLC, the company said in a statement to the Shenzhen stock exchange. Beijing Kunlun Chairman, Zhou Yahui, who became a billionaire after the company listed shares last year, was scouting other potential investments in the U.S., according to a company spokeswoman, Sophie Chen. 

Zhou, worth $1.7 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, has overseen seven deals for Kunlun since April -- including Grindr and a minority stake in British mortgage lender LendInvest Ltd. The addition of the mobile app Grindr will broaden its portfolio of services and create a new source of revenue, the company said.......

Changing Culture

“Grindr is the top platform in their area and is mostly known as data-driven, as well as for their great user base,” Chen said in an e-mail. “It’s essential to the Kunlun global Internet eco-sphere.”

Beijing Kunlun’s shares rose by the maximum daily 10 percent limit after it announced the pact. The deal awaits antitrust review by the U.S. government.

“We have taken this investment in our company to accelerate our growth,” Joel Simkhai, founder of Grindr, said in a blog post. “It will generally be business as usual for us here at Grindr, but with a renewed sense of purpose and additional resources.”

Dating apps are struggling to sustain revenue growth, partly because customers tend to stop paying for the service after they find a match. IAC/InterActiveCorp controls the majority of U.S. dating application market share through its ownership of Match, OKCupid and Tinder, while Grindr’s direct competitors include Scruff and Jack’d. 

Grindr, which calls itself the world’s largest gay social network, hosts 2 million visitors daily across 196 countries, according to a company fact sheet. The Los Angeles-based mobile app was released in 2009 and matches users based on personal photos and location.

China’s attitude toward homosexuality has undergone a radical transformation in the past decade. Once a facet of Chinese culture among the elite, it was pushed underground during the Communist era, and the Chinese Psychiatric Association officially classified homosexuality as a psychiatric disorder until 2001.

Recently, the gay scene has seen a resurgence. Blued, a domestic gay social-networking app founded by a former police officer, has attracted more than 3 million daily users and secured funding from venture capitalists DCM Ventures. 

-----"Chinese Gaming Billionaire Buys U.S. Gay Dating App Grindr", by Shai Oster, Bloomberg, 12 January 2016 

Presumably those whites and others who state "Sorry No Asians" as "a preference", might consider amending their profiles....???

"Waaahh..!!! FuelMix....!!" squealed one of our friendly GAM throats-on-the-street as he ran up to, hugged and kissed his favourite foreigner "I am so happy to see yoooo...!!"

"Apparently", said FuelMix fazed at the unexpectedly affectionate recognition outside the Versace boutique, whose shop window he was scoping in search of alleged but elusive bargains.

"I went to Big Top Sauna", announced the GAM "and got punched in the face...."

FuelMix's eyes widened....."Yes!!....Look...!!"  He pointed to a bruise on his cheek, "There were so many people there and the Dark Room is soooo dark and crowded, it is only lit by that very little screen, nobody can see other people right in the corner, they all crowd there.....I was trying to get past and wham...!!......Other people were coming in the opposite direction in the pitch dark and I got punched in the face.....and I don't know who did it.....waaaah....!! hurts like hell.....And you know why all this happens...? The overcrowding....? They don't have enough private rooms and they're getting so many people showing up.  So now most people just stand in the Dark Room and try to get action that way.  They need bigger premises and more rooms".

FuelMix nodded.  He'd heard similar complaints. "So I can't sit on your face for a while then...?" he snickered with mock innocence.

"Of course yooooo can la...!!" crooned the GAM, "only gently though....."

Single Mom

1.   Parthenogenesis
2.   Parthenogenesis = Virgin Birth  
3.   A Christmas Story Revisited - FuelMix Style 
  
1.   Parthenogenesis

1. FuelMix was pondering the ramifications of a biological phenomenon known as“parthenogenesis”. Essentially, a female egg triggers its own cellular division, creating a developing embryo and ultimately resulting in a fully formed, perfectly functioning, offspring. All of this is accomplished without any sexual act with a male, or any male sperm. 

2.  Parthenogenesis was documented in bees, ants, some amphibians and also in what biologists call “bony” fish. But it was not until 2001, when a female bonnethead, a species of the hammerhead shark, gave birth to a fully formed functioning shark pup, that there was widespread publicity in scientific journals. Sharks do not have bones – they are cartilaginous. 

3.  It was not until 2007 that mainstream media picked up on the hammerhead shark's birth.

2.   Parthenogenesis = Virgin Birth.  

4.  Parthenogenesis is derived from a Greek word meaning “virgin birth”. How interesting………Isn’t the virgin birth one of the fundamental and defining tenets of Christianity.....?? (the other 2 being the crucifixion and the resurrection)

5.   Stay with this one fags, you’re gonna love it……… 

3.   A Christmas Story Revisited - FuelMix Style
  
6.   If virgin births have been recorded in ants, bees, amphibians, bony fish and now, a species of shark, should the average person be that surprised that it could take place in human females? Was the “Virgin Mary” all that special when she was told by the angel that she would conceive? 

7.   Was there political correctness at work way back when, that suddenly dropped Joseph into the picture as “the father”? Was the idea of a spiritually enlightened single mom giving birth to a highly political figure, who would be nailed after just 3 years of PR, a little too hot to handle without some “family values” like a father or a husband? 

8.   Even more interesting is that in the ancient texts of the Middle East, India and Asia (which pre-date Christianity by thousands of years), there are examples of single females giving birth to spiritually enlightened figures – without any dude involved. Could these so called “myths” actually be closer to the truth.....? 

9.   Overland trade routes from Europe to the East were already formally open from the 12^th century - and were known about and used both for trade and conquest well before that too. Whilst illiteracy was common in the West, knowledge of Middle East, Indian and Asian texts could have been known to those who could read in the West i.e. the Church. They were in the perfect position to monopolize the way people thought and did so, ruthlessly.

10. The modern version of the Bible dates from the early 17th century. It was a book written by committee and commissioned by King James 1 of England (a notorious fag, whose lover was the Duke of Buckingham, for whom he built Buckingham Palace in London). 

11. We suggest that parthenogenesis has massive implications for the dogma peddled by Christianity. Not only is parthenogenesis a physiological fact exhibited by “lower animals” (a phrase used to denote hierarchy in biology), but it demolishes any claim of uniqueness to the Christian claim of the Virgin Birth – since this phenomenon was already recorded in spiritual texts that predated Christianity.

12. Could it be that Christianity’s Virgin Birth is a clever marketing ploy purporting to stress its exclusivity...? (We already know that Christmas was imposed on 25 December to wipe out the Pagan ritual of the Winter Solstice on 22 December -  which incidentally is widely celebrated in Asia and is re-emerging in the West). Was the Virgin Birth made into a defining tenet of Christianity when it was already occurring in female animals as well as human females from other cultures thousands of years before who brought forth spiritually enlightened beings...? 

13. The schism facing the Christian church over gay priests, pales into insignificance when one considers whether the Unique Selling Proposition of Christianity may be something that occurs in Nature, and whose concept was a spiritual copyright infringement pinched from another (Eastern) culture.

14.  Told you fags you’d love it. And the Apocalypse too.....the true meaning of which, is that which was hidden is now revealed.

Jungle Sauna 5

COMPLETED 20 DECEMBER 2015

10th Floor Ko's House
577 Nathan Road
Yau Ma Tei
Kowloon
Hong Kong
MTR: Yau Ma Tei Station, Exit A, then Exit A1

Tel: 2138 8678
Staff speak English on the phone 
Web: MyWayJungle.com 

Opening Hours: NOW 24 HOURS
Previously known as Hunter Sauna (see earlier reviews under this name)

When.....?

A Tuesday evening from 7pm - 10:30pm saw Jungle getting a steady stream of customers coming through the door.  Mainly GAMs with some GWMs. FuelMix was surprised at the number of people there - approximately 40 and they still kept coming in, the later it got.


Who.....?

The place is open 24 hours and the customers are predominantly Hong Kong GAMs (rather than Mainland GAMs).  Predominant age range is 20s to 30 something. They do get GAMs over 35 and older, some with grey hair.  But the older GAMs were in very good shape. Definitely not a single fatty, bear or chub. Body types in the GAMs range from really skinny twink to gym boy to muscle twink.  Some are surprisingly well hung.  They seem to be legal aged high school kids, college guys or 20 somethings who have just started work.

As for the GWMs, we know that GWM tourists show up in Jungle.  Either they are pissed off with Central Escalator or they can't handle the number of Mainland Chinese now swamping Alexander.  The younger GWMs are athletic built, the older GWMs are in reasonable shape.  When FuelMix was there, he recognized 3 local GWMs.


Cock, Mouth, Ass and Lube.....?

As for getting action, Jungle is predominantly Sticky Rice and the attitude of the clientele gets annoying if you're not a chink.  It can - and does - take a long time to get action and the twinks really get off on rejection only to gossip and snicker about it afterwards.  Resist the temptation to punch them in the face......it won't be easy.  FuelMix did not get any action this time.


Rumour and Reality

Our friendly GAMs on the street told us that the key to scoring in Jungle is to keep going back until you "fit in" with the crowd.  Rumour is that the GAM clientele in Jungle do their best to keep the atmosphere slightly rancid - sorta "Hutong Lite".

The reality is that the Management does NOT have an exclusion policy and in the past we've seen different nationalities there from brown, black and white.

We've heard twice that Jungle is rumoured to get Police and Firemen but we don't have any more details - other than to confirm that it does get athletic GAMs.


What To Do....??

Whilst FuelMix could not be regarded as a regular in Jungle, he is for the moment, prepared to keep an open mind about the potential for this place and probably would go back.


The Future...?

Jungle has the potential to turn into the Kowloon version of the now sadly deceased Towel Club in Causeway Bay.  From FuelMix's point of view, Towel Club had the sexiest mixed crowd in town, bar none.  And the action and ethnic (sexual) interactions were amazing.

Jungle has a long way to go before it gets to that stage.  And that's why we keep bitching that whites and others should grow some balls and start rocking that place - just like we've been saying that the same should be done to Jungle's corporate sister, MyWay.

But then whites and foreigners seem really timid these days......Must have spent too long in that cramped asylum in SoHo that we've written about in the past and which we've now written off.

Web: Hutong Sauna
Open 24 hours   

Received from a reader yesterday: 

Hey FM,

Just a few updates re: Hutong

1. The entrance fee has gone up- previously it was HKD 159, it's now HKD 179. Surely the most expensive sauna in HK (?). As ever with this place, what price the local GAM muscle boys under 30 are actually paying is anyone's guess. I've never seen any actual evidence of certain customers paying less (and, unlike other saunas, you can actually queue up to pay at Hutong so what other people pay is somewhat transparent).

2. The sauna has been extended in size. There is a new shower and locker area on the upper floor (so two separate locker and shower areas now). Helpful as the old locker room was pretty cramped. There are also three new 'quiet' rooms on the upper floor where the music is minimal and you can be sucked off in peace.

3. The crowd remains overwhelmingly GAM and for the most part fit. Still pretty strongly sticky rice, although enough are interested to keep this GWM going back. Whites with fragile egos or who are out of shape/ unfortunate looking...perhaps best to give it a miss. I don't condone the lousy attitude of the patrons of this place, but it is what it is. The attitude is pretty self defeating anyway as you can see physically stunning GAM guys standing around looking bored/ ignored.

4. One of the guys who does the cleaning there is absolutely gorgeous. That is all.

Cheers. X


FuelMix says:

1.  Presumably they jacked the prices to pay for their renovations.  Unless we're mistaken, its does appear to be the most expensive sauna in town.  We suspect favourable pricing for the "chosen".

2.  We're aware of the sticky rice attitudinal reputation.  Bored and ignored is apparently par for the course there.  

3.  In shape or muscular whites should try Jungle in Yau Ma Tei. It's open 24 hours and our friendly GAMs on the street tell us that whites are showing up.  They're getting action with other whites or GAMs into whites.  Flabby whites should stay away. Yes, Jungle also has a lot of attitude. Thanks for the update.

Gateway Sauna 5

1/F Kwong Ah Building
114 Thomson Road
Wanchai
Hong Kong

MTR Exit B3

Telephone: 2591 0500

Note: NOT open 24 hours.  
Usual hours appear to be 2pm to 1am.  Call beforehand.
Staff speak good English.

FuelMix was in Wanchai shopping in the computer plaza and after pissing in that notoriously cruisy (sometimes annoyingly so) tearoom next to Wanchai MTR Station (Exit B2) which faces the basketball courts of Southorn Playground,*** he decided to drop into Gateway Sauna 'coz he had a discount card which was expiring that day.

Showing up on a Thursday evening at 6:45 pm, FuelMix was shocked at the number of people there.  He counted 32.  Mostly GAMs plus 3 GWMs who appeared to be in their 40s. (Can't tell with whites - they age so badly).

Despite the large number, the crowd was utterly FUGLY (with large numbers of Fat & Fugly) - and what's worse, aggressively groping Fuglies.

Many GAMs have not got it through their heads that there is a right way and a wrong way to initially touch someone.  Just because someone is standing there in a towel, and a passing Fugly grabs their crotch and doesn't feel an erection, does NOT mean that the person in the towel is not well hung.  Like FuelMix, perhaps their genitals are still reeling from the pain of being grabbed in such an amateur fashion by a previous Fugly minutes ago.

God only knows where these fuckin' slants get their sex education - probably pixelated hetero Jap porn, where foreplay is the guy taking his socks off.

More GAM Fuglies continued to arrive.  It was sad.  The quality of the crowd was exactly at the level of Galaxy's clientele.  To help our readers remember the comparison, here are the 4 Gs:

• G - for Galaxy;
• G - for Gateway;
• G - for Garbage;
• G - for Got It....?

Perhaps we picked the wrong day and the wrong time. **sigh**.  Just upstairs from Gateway is the Thai Kick Boxing Gym with some pretty hot guys working out.  Why don't they show up.....?

In Gateway Sauna 4, we said this:

• It's a convenient, discreet location in Wanchai;
• It's clean and well maintained;
• It's better than anything in Central;
• It's got a large communal play area at the far end;

This place really deserves a better looking clientele and a wider window of opportunity. The customers told FuelMix that:

• On weekdays: the window is between 5pm - 7pm;
• Saturdays - afternoons onwards;
• Sundays - afternoons onwards;

Note: it now appears that the window of opportunity is between 5pm - 8:30pm


***  Actually,  there are 4 notoriously cruisy tearooms in Wanchai.  We learned about them from our friendly GAMs on the street.  They know everything.

Pretty Simple, Really

And so it was, that FuelMix found himself at the downtown campus of the University of Fag Bar (pending accreditation). Knocking back a Vodka Lime, FuelMix focused his attention on an ugly GAM who was coming on to a much older, uglier, pasty faced English fag. The English fag had a piggy-pink complexion which was quite alarming under the bar lights. It reminded FuelMix of the colour of Lady Penelope’s pink Rolls Royce on that uber fabulous cult puppet series, “Thunderbirds”. 

There was no doubt about it. GAM, although having all the erotic allure of an earthworm, was horny. And the English fag, an obvious tourist, was flattered and pathetically grateful for the attention. 

Things heated up at that end of the bar. There was lots of groping and smooching and smooching and groping. There were grunts, sighs and squeals. A lot of spit was being swapped. Neither of them showed any particular finesse in the fine art of public seduction. FuelMix felt like writing notes on his drinks napkin and sending it over to them for reference, but figured that watching them clumsily seduce each other by trial and error was more fun. 

Suddenly, the 2 of them paid for their drinks and bailed out of the bar to the English fag’s hotel. The bar tender winked at FuelMix knowingly. 

But, 20 minutes later the GAM reappeared, looking utterly pissed off. Not a hair was out of place. He resumed his seat at the bar and ordered another drink. The bar tender went over and a few words were exchanged.

Unable to contain his curiosity, FuelMix summoned the bar tender and asked what happened.

Barely able to control his laughter, the bar tender leaned over and sneered, "they had a fight.  Turns out they're both Tops".

HKG Gay Saunas: The Hidden Costs

What The Local Fag Rags Will Never Have The Guts To Say:

And we're not talking about the entry fee.......


1.   Half the saunas have dimly lit locker areas;

2.   Customers drink directly from the Listerine bottle;

3.   Listerine heavily diluted by management;

4.   High risk of Passive Smoking even though by law, smoking in bath houses and saunas is banned;

5.   Some complimentary confectionery manufactured in China.....unknown or dubious quality;

6.   Sweets, biscuits, pastries and ice cream - all high calorie, refined sugar snacks;

7.   High sodium content in bowl of noodles;

8.   Vanity counter has hair gel and lotion containing petroleum by-products and methylparaben - known carcinogenics;

9.   Shampoo and shower gel contains petroleum by-products and methylparaben - known cacinogenics;

10.  Using complimentary combs and brush increases risk of scalp infection and head lice;

11.  Ultra-close viewing range of complimentary computer keyboards and screens;

12.  Massive contrast between dimly lit corridors, brightness of computer screens and ultra-close viewing range, cause acute eyestrain after only a couple of minutes of use;

13.  Complimentary computers unlikely to contain updated anti-virus software. Logging into personal accounts requiring username and password, very dangerous;

14.  Glare from porn screens in Dark Area plus ultra-close viewing range, cause acute eyestrain after only a couple of minutes of watching;

15.  Customers sitting naked on couches or falling asleep on them.  Couches may be of vinyl or fabric.  No indication of how or how often vinyl and fabric is cleaned and disinfected;

15.   No notices requiring customers to bring slippers to prevent Athlete's Foot;

16.  Smoking, Passive Smoking, ingestion of refined sugar, cosmetic use of petroleum by-products PLUS tanning on the sunbed, increases cancer risk.

NOTE:  All of the above are independent of a fag who shows up at the sauna with a compromised immune system, unhealthy or bleeding gums and skin infections like eczema or jock itch.

Perceptions

Seemingly surrounded by waves of global violence, anger, hatred, bigotry and instability, we offer the following:

And then this (underlining and bold print by FuelMix):

Negative programs have lost their influence on the High-Vibe Tribe, and the larger collective is reflecting this. Divine neutrality is about neutralizing the effect of the illusion on our consciousness, both personally and globally. With that skill in heart, the outer expression of love intensifies, becomes the new norm.

Love is stepping up, in spite of lesser agendas. Photonic light and the Shift ensure we get whatever is needed to collectively move us into our hearts, to empower ourselves and the collective.

Some flail like cornered wildcats, pressed to the limit by the impending light which promises their extinction. Some call forth the new paradigm in their actions, words, heart and energy fields. It tests the faith and patience of many a Master to know, observe, wayshow and participate in the acceleration simultaneously.

FuelMix received several emails today from a GWM reader who allegedly had a confrontation with the Owner of ABC on Saturday evening, 5 December 2015.

The reader says the Owner, to whom he had chatted on past visits, is a middle aged Chinese gentleman with a round face and thinning hair.

FuelMix has heavily edited the various emails from this reader for grammar, clarity and brevity:

Loads of pushy and bitter guys there (mostly on the heavy side).  Not a place to go if you're looking for muscle guys - and God forbid you ask someone where there is a sauna that has hot guys.

I told a friend of mine who was with me, that we should go to Hutong the next day.  A chubby Chinese guy apparently a hair stylist, who had cruised both of us - and whom we had rejected, turned bitter.  He went to the Owner saying that we were badmouthing ABC.  We had done nothing of the sort.

As I was leaving, the Owner asked to speak to me.  He told me not to come back.  I was shocked.  I asked him why he would believe a bitter and jealous person and told him what had happened. I said I would not be badmouthing ABC if I had been coming there in the past.

The Owner apologized but I will not go back.

1. I posted my complaint on Travel Gay Asia today. 
2. They deleted it.
3. I wrote to them and they reposted it.
4. They have again deleted it.  Wonder why.

 
FuelMix says:

1.  In Gay Sauna Etiquette 17 dated 25 October 2012, another reader complained about a toxic fag who badmouthed them to the sauna staff.  We don't know which sauna it was.

2.  What is clear is that some fags are hate-filled to begin with, or they can't handle rejection in a sauna, or both.  They decide to seek "revenge" by running to the management.

3.  We speak from personal experience as well, because a few years ago (curiously also in ABC), a toxic Chinese fag whom FuelMix had rejected, went running to the Reception Staff alleging that FuelMix was a drug addict and/or was HIV Poz.

4.  The staff who were on good terms with FuelMix, told the toxic GAM to fuck off and then told FuelMix what had happened.  Being FuelMix, he confronted the toxic GAM in front of the customers. The GAM ran to the lockers, got dressed and left.

5.  We can understand why the Owner might initially have told this reader not to come back. He only had one source of information - the toxic fag.  When he heard the reader's side of the story, the Owner apologized.

6.  This is not  a case of the Owner restricting free speech in the sauna. He initially acted to protect his business reputation, relying on a source of information that turned out to be malicious.

7.  The fault lies in the clientele AND their lack of emotional intelligence. The reality is that even if entry is restricted by being based on looks and age (like Hutong), it is impossible to control what falls out of a toxic fag's mouth.

8.  As for Travel Gay Asia allegedly deleting the reader's complaint.....we are well aware that many gay information sites only publish "happy talk".  That's why we started our sauna reviews.

The Filipinos Are Cumming *sigh*

Earlier in this series we'd mentioned how Filipinos had turned ABC into their own little barrio (which means either poverty-ridden slum in Spanish or a division of a municipality in the Philippines).  Then, for a few years they hardly showed up.

Well fags, they're baaackk...!!! Mostly 20 somethings Fuglies - with FAT ones too. Tourists and locals. Presumably they needed a change from showing up at Central Escalator.

We're not sure why virtually every Flip male we run into describes himself as Filipino-Spanish or Filipino-Latin, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt.  And don't be fooled when a Flip says he's a total Top.  Just remind him he's from a country who's top 3 exports are Mangos, Bananas and People.  And the Flips have a worldwide reputation for being in the "service industry"......

But.....but.....FuelMix, if ABC is getting the Fugly Flips, who's getting the better looking athletic and muscular ones....??

(Hong Kong Disneyland and Big Top......).

What's In A Name...? 1

FuelMix was chilling at the University of Fag Bar (pending accreditation). A white fag acquaintance, floated by, high as a kite. FuelMix pulled his string and the fag settled in for a chat.

The fag babbled incoherently, FuelMix listened. The fag babbled even more. It was obvious that his labia was pretty loose that day. Fag disclosed he was high on weed and crack. First time FuelMix knew he was doing crack.

Then without warning fag said, “Well of course, ******** isn’t my real name you know”
 
“Oh? What is your real name?” asked FuelMix
 
“*+*+*+*+*+*+” fag says
 
“Why the difference?” says FuelMix
 
“Well you know how it is…...I’ve got issues, baggage that kinda stuff. Certain people are looking for me……but hey, it’s all good…....I’m Out right?"

“Yeah” thought FuelMix, "Out of my life”.

Memo to Fags 23

To: Fags
From: FuelMix

Love is not simply a static emotional state.

Neither is Love a fluctuating needle of wants and needs somewhere between infatuation, lust, desire, yearning or comfortable predictability. 

It is a journey of evolution.

And on that journey of evolution, your interpretation of Love are your signposts and your milestones.

How much Love you bring, how much Love you give and how much Love you receive, will be how you ultimately judge yourself.

The time is fast approaching when this will be how a person's wealth is measured.

What Our Friendly GAM-Throat-On-The-Street Told Us:

"Yoohoo....!! FuelMix...!!" caroled our Friendly-GAM-Throat-On-The-Street as he sidled up to Yours Truly somewhere on Haiphong Road on a Saturday afternoon,  "Love that hot ass of yours...!! Mmmmm, wanna come to Galaxy, sit on my face and let me eat you out...?? Hmmm..?? I'm feeling really horny and I'm heading to Galaxy now."

FuelMix giggled. "Sorry buddy, gotta do some shopping around here then head out to Causeway Bay - but I'm well aware of your talented tongue.....fits my ass just right..."

Friendly-Gam-Throat-On-The-Street winked and grinned, "so I guess somebody in Causeway Bay is gonna rim you then huh...?"

"Well, now that you mention it, you're giving me some ideas...." said FuelMix coyly, just as the GAM patted and stroked FuelMix's ass in full view of the throngs of Mainland Chinks. " Whoa...that's my butt your touching dude....!!" gasped FuelMix. 

"I know..." smirked the GAM, " I'm just advertising it in case anyone else is hungry..."

FM:  Galaxy should be packed on a Saturday afternoon...huh...?

GAM:  Yeah, will be packed.  I was there last Saturday from 2pm onwards.  They were coming in at the rate of 4 to 5 at a time....it just wouldn't stop.  There were so many people there, they were running out of lockers and were asking people to wait in the lounge.  It's still cheap even though they raised their price to HK$75.00

FM:  I keep hearing stories of what the place is like on Saturday afternoons, so I can certainly believe what you're saying.  That place makes me laugh....it's so crappy and decrepit, most of the guys are zero to look at - and it's so successful.  They seem to be the only sauna in town that actually has a set price that everybody pays.

GAM:  That's right....One Cheap Price  and FUGLY is THE winning formula.....tons of middle aged and older Chinese guys.  But on Saturdays white guys show up too, older and fatter ones.  Also some younger Chinese ones - you know, Twinks, the ones who aren't so sure of themselves yet and don't have the confidence to show up at the other saunas.  So they practice in Galaxy.  We call them "students".... 

FM:  I see

GAM:  Sure you don't wanna come to Galaxy just now...?  You could rock the place...!!  They'd be lining up to eat your ass while they lined up to wait for their lockers.

FM:  Nah....gotta finish my stuff first 

GAM:  Ok Baby....Ciao!!  [kisses FM on the cheek]

FM:  Dude.... it's the street..! People will think I'm gay...!!

GAM:  No honey, people will think you're available. [Grins and disappears into the crowd].

© Copyright 2006-2015 FuelMix All Rights Reserved

Four Kinds of Curry 4

As mentioned in Part 1, since there are grumblings on the street about the quality of Indians showing up at the gay saunas in this city, it is necessary to examine the categories of Indians presently living or visiting here in order to find out which category or categories may be causing the problems.

4.   Indian Tourists from India or Dubai Visiting Hong Kong

• Heavy Indian accent, even though may be Western educated;
• Showing up in VRM in droves on 2 week tourist visas, with the possible intention of moving here;

What Do Gay Men Need To Know About Indian Tourists From India or Dubai Visiting Hong Kong...?

• Fall into 2 categories: athletic,masculine pretty good looking AND Fugly;
• The good looking 20 somethings look like a hybrid between hip-hop culture and a Nike advertisement;
• Older men wearing a lot of jewellery.  Not in good shape;
• Younger ones wearing bandanas or LiveStrong rubber shit on their wrists and some kind of chain around their necks; not so much bling as the older ones;
• Lame attempts by the Indians from Dubai to claim they are Emirati;
• Escaping repressive gay climate in India for a few days;
• Showing up around town to sample different gay saunas and escape the family and or GF;

• Pointing and gawking at other customers at the saunas, incessant voyeurism;
