They advertised in the 'Adult Massage' section in the Sun with ads above and below touting sexy attendants and strongly suggesting happy endings. They highlighted their ad to make it stand out, so I stopped by on a Sunday, intending to check it out.
A very timid young Oriental girl smiled at me from behind the counter. I thought the place looked brand new, so I asked, "how long have you been here in this location?" She replied, "This is my first day." Those might have been her first English words spoken in some time.
To the rescue came a tall, slim, attractive (not mamasan) girl, who immediately took over the conversation. She offered me a tour of the place, which looked deserted. I changed from my street shoes to the slippers, and she took me around and showed my the change room, Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room and offered free use of any of those facilities. Then she showed me the various massage rooms, (including a table shower room) and the manicure/pedicure room (uh oh), which was totally empty -- no furniture, no equipment, no customers.
She offered me a free membership, which means I get 20% off all services. They were all listed there on a big sign, all legit; manicures, pedicures, facials (nope), all the standard stuff.
She gave me a membership card and took my information off my DL. Then I left, promising to return.
Figuring I might be onto something, I did return, and booked a 1 hour massage for $80 (less 20%). I put my clothes in the locker, did the Jacuzzi, and put on the shorts & robe and headed to the lounge. Waited there for a good 20 minutes while various oriental girls walked in every direction. Sholud have left. That's when mamasan comes by and offers me a free pedicure while I'm waiting. Apparently, they had it outfitted (bare essentials, really) since my last visit. Ok. Guess who does the pedicure? The slim girl from day 1. She seems to remember me, but calls me by my full name (which I never use - so she clearly got it from the file that was populated from my DL). Anyway, she tried. Worst pedicure I ever had. She probably practises on her poor sisters and brothers. Should have left. I was in pain for days. She explains that the free pedicure was because I had to wait so long. I suspect they STILL didn't have anyone available so they occupied my time.
Ok, so the massage is next. Mamasan puts me in a room where the table is clearly visible from the common area even if you open the door a crack. Asked for another room. No dice. Should have left.
Nice looking young girl enters, very timid, and explains in bare English that I'm to "get ready" and get on the table and that this towel is "for my cover." Ok, so I assume the position, and cover up. Girl walks back in and does a massage that could have been done by my baby sister without feeling weird. Never even approaches the region. No flip. She says, "You are done" and I should have left. So I did.
