Just a quick piece of input with all the debate over 999 vs. G18.
The two places are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT in terms of what you're looking for...
Without a doubt, 999 (or JiYuan as it is now called) definitely has the hotter girls. I would scale them in the range of 7-10. HOWEVER, there are 2 cons with this:
1. 999/JiYuan is definitely more set on a 'business' schedule. What this means is don't expect DFK, nor the ladies to give you a particular GFE. If you're looking for a nice lay with a hot girl and nothing else, this is the place. As a previous poster mentioned, they seemed to have decreased their servicing time now as well (although one lady told me that should you request a girl at the reception table, they are able to give you more time, in the range of 90 minutes.)
2. G18 ladies will definitely give you more of a GFE. In addition, their servicing definitely seems to be better than 999/JiYuan as well. HOWEVER, this comes at a cost as well. The ladies, in my opinion, seem to be more on a 6-8 scale when compared to 999/JiYuan; and I say this as a frequent visitor to both businesses.
So which one is better? In reality, I consider these two businesses to offer completely different packages. If you're looking for a nice, quick lay at a cheap price, definitely go to 999/JiYuan. If you're looking for more 'atmosphere' and a nice experience (albeit with slightly less attractive females), choose G18.
Additionally, BOTH are open as of right now. Hope this clears up some of the debate.
