There are lots of opportunities buying currency options however I'm worried about the USD. It is tanking, the RMB is rocketing, we are pegged. WTF should be using of currency?

I've been thinking about a solution to this USD problem. I want to propose that we "the hooker" becomes a recognised currency.
We should be able to go to someone "Hey for that I owe you hookers mate" and know what we are talking about here.

"The hooker" currently converts (pegged in Fenwicks) to around US$200, but as the US$ drops further it should be left to float.

All S.E. currencies are gaining against the USD, I think we can safely say these girls are getting stiffed in more than one way.

148 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong.


Used to be called The Eden - I think a few aliases on this msg board are familiar with the place and the std of rooms.....

The Eden was nice; clean rooms and fairly posh. Had no more need of the place by the time it became Mingles, tho, so no idea what that is like. They did move the reception area from 1/F down to street-level with floor-to-ceiling windows, so the element of privacy got a bit lost. I think it was becos they were trying to re-angle it as a boutique hotel, rather than a "garden of paradise for heavenly trysts" or whatever the Eden's tagline was.

*edit* And I don't think you can book by the hour/2hrs/etc anymore, either.
