Just in case some of you were wondering what goes on there...
Met up with some Japanese friends in Hanamichi club on Huaihai Rd in Jing An district across from the Crown Plaza. Passed by a several bbs and ktv within walking distance.
The scoop is...staff speaks Chinese and Japanese only, girls speak great Japanese but no English though. Some of the girls are extremely beautiful, all wearing traditional Shanghainese chipao dress. Paid 200rmb each sitting charge for all-you-can-drink Chivas which is not bad considering cost of drinks in Shanghai and, considering the amount I drink, a bargain. Sang, drank, and talked for a couple hours. Tipped the girl 300rmb. Got her cell number.
That is it.
Not for those who seek any action.
