The two phrases point in opposite directions
A touring escort has already booked her flight out, and everything about how she works follows from that: short notice, tight days, a diary that fills from both ends.
Just arrived, just landed, limited days: the phrases all point the same way and none of them says when she leaves.
A woman describing herself as new in town may mean exactly the same thing, or she may have moved to Hong Kong and be here indefinitely, because the phrase carries an arrival and says nothing about a departure. Read as the same news, they produce the wrong instinct half the time: one of them rewards writing today, and the other rewards not being in a hurry.
One question settles it, and it is an ordinary question to ask in a first message and not an intrusive one: how long are you in Hong Kong. Women on tour answer it immediately and precisely, because their whole month depends on that number being clear to strangers; many keep a published schedule and will send it instead of retyping the dates. A woman who describes herself as visiting rather than touring usually means the same thing. A vague answer to it is itself informative.
Hong Kong is a stop on a circuit, not a destination
A touring escort almost never has Hong Kong to itself in her plans.
Hong Kong sits in a run with Singapore, Bangkok or Tokyo, and her dates were fixed by flights and by the next city before the advert went up, which is worth knowing before you ask her to stay an extra few days. She is not being difficult when she says no. The days after her last one here already belong to somebody else in another country, and moving them costs her more than the booking is worth.
497 women are working a Hong Kong stretch at the moment, most of them out of Central and Western, from HK$1,200 an hour.
The same arrangement runs in the other direction
FMTY, or fly me to you, is the mirror image of touring, and it turns up on the same adverts.
Instead of catching her while she is in your city, you cover the travel and she comes to yours. It is the format for men who are not in Hong Kong at all, or who are here but want her somewhere else, and it changes the shape of everything: this is not an hour, it is days.
Expect three things, and do not treat any of them as friction.
- A deposit. She is buying a ticket on the strength of a stranger's message.
- A minimum length. A flight is not worth an evening.
- The travel itself, quoted separately from her time.
All three numbers are hers to set, they vary widely, and a woman who quotes them plainly is the one to take seriously.
Between a tour date and a flight there is a whole middle ground of longer bookings, and what girlfriend experience covers takes the same stretch, from an evening to a fortnight, from the other side. If none of that applies to you, none of this urgency is yours either: a woman who lives in Hong Kong has no departure date to work around. For everything happening in the city this week regardless of who is passing through, start from the full Hong Kong selection.
