Me too! Except not the girly bars.

I just love that you stumbled across these accidentally, graraps. It's like a little window into the past, the misty days of old Hong Kong. But, seriously, what did you think when you took the lift up to the 20th floor in a building full of high-floor "cafes"?

Reminds me of a time last year when I was looking through an old tourist guide book to Hong Kong printed in the late 1980s, which my family bought before our first trip there. The book had huge sections on what to do in hostess clubs and what the girls supposedly think of all the white men who patronize those places. Saw a bunch of those in TST East. But now, like Kai Tak, they're mostly gone. Or at least gone underground.
