The best strip joint I have...

The best strip joint I have been to. Ever.

I walked across the border from San Ysidro to Tijuana at midnight. Hopped a $5 cab to the Zona Norte and walked into Hong Kong. The sensory overload was immediate and intense. Dozens and dozens of hot dancers, many on stage, and many more hanging around between stage visits hoping you will solicit them for anything (drink, lap dance, or more).

The lower-level main bar features about three girls on the bar dancing. Three or four girls on secondary stages dancing. And one girl on the main stage dancing. A walk up a ramp or set of stairs (through dozens hoards of dancers) leads to another bar, featuring one or two dancing on the bar, and one or two on stage. This stage also features a "shaving cream" duet, which happens when the management waters down the stage (which conveniently has a 2" lip to contain liquid) and spreads three cans of shaving cream all over the stage and two girls who proceed to lather themselves and the crowd into a frenzy.
