I've used the agencies a few times ....

- you dont need to pay 200-400. it comes down to your negotiation over the phone with the mama. for the typical 1 hr i have never paid more then 150 or overnight 250
- some have been good, some bad however all will try and stay on longer then the booking. but same with GL some good some bad

why use them....
- you dont like going down to GL
- you dont like going to HC, KTV or even OT
- ie you like the comfort of your own house or hotel

why not to use them ...
- you dont know what your getting however i have always ask for the nationality (ie chinese local, chinese PRC, thai, malay, etc.) and they have always come through
- you don't want to turn away when they are at you door ... not so nice


personally i'd rather go to Top 10 choose a nice one, then negotiated an overnight right ... can get for 150-250 depending on quality....just dont buy from crazy horse - unless you like that type

if you like a bit of performance buy two for one price .... watch then do 3some...
