General Info

my first evening in taipei, walking through the ling chiang st night market, not really looking yet, but i found two massage places, wondering if more might be on offer at either of them. i was open to getting a good "clean" massage, which i needed after the long flight.. but an extras place would be welcome.

one had the couches in public view, a sure sign that it is a "clean" massage place (though sometmes there can be private rooms too).

the second place was a store that also had a sign for massage out front. it offered various kinds of massage, including the "body massage" for nt1000 (means therapeutic, or "clean", massage, mainly shoulders/back/legs)... but there was also a mention of "release therapy" offered for nt500.

on inquiring about where the massage place was, the store guy led me up the back staircase to the second floor, where there were semi-private massage beds with curtains separating them.

i was surprised when the guy setting up my bed was also the masseur! i have not had a massage offered by a male in asia before. i go for the cute, female variety when it comes to extras, and he didn't offer any. but a masseur, if skilled, can give you one of the best "clean" massages you'll have, if you like a strong therapeutic massage (and i do). this fellow was skilled, and though no special massage offered after (from a female colleague) it was very good.

anyone know what "release therapy" means when listed on the sign for a massage parlour? if it isn't sex, i really worry about what it might be... nt500 seem s like a low price for an hj here, even on top of nt1000 for a one-hour body massage, and i'd be surprised to see extras advertised so blatantly here.

there are lots of tips on this board which i'll check out at my leisure... but if anyone has tips for the area around shangri-la, they would be most welcome. there was nothing obvious as i was walking around last night, so i suspect i'm in the wrong place for fun.

if any local experts are around and wants to have a tea or beer, pm me. i enjoy the hunt, starting by reading the forum, but would not mind a jump-start from people in the know.

Does anyone who goes to these Uniform Shops know the following:

1) Are they foreign friendly?
2) Is it reasonable to go alone and not cost the world?
3) Can you manage with little or no Mandarin?

As you can probably tell, I want to go but don't have a local to accompany me.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I'm already in Kaohsiung for a few days up to early next week.

Any experts in the area?

I'm Chinese, but was born in a totally different country. So I abosolutely have no idea where and HOW to find good girls at reasonalbe price.

Pm me and maybe I can join up and learn from any of you experts in girl hunting at kaohsiung or even at taipei, since I'll be there for 1-2 days in the weekend.

Risking sounding like a noob but what does BBS stand for?

BBS can be those old shops with with barber pole, dark windows or without lights.

Newer BBSs are usually called "Beauty Parlor" (Mei-rong-yuan) and are available in all over the island's major cities.

[Tannric]

BBS would be BarBer Shops, there's quite a lot of them here, especially the "older" districts like the outer-ish areas of Xi Men Ding in Taipei.

Tinted glasses, a few empty barber chairs and the hint of a back room area are usually dead giveaways.

Are the cops doing traffic check (drunk driving) on the road or inside the parlor? I encounter some of these checks if you drive around Hsinchu area after 9.30pm.

Try this one, some Japanese customers recommend it...Hei Long Jiang BBS (黑龍江美容院) in downtown Hsinchu. It has its own car jockeys. (03) 530 2447 on Chunghua Rd. Sec.4,

Is this on the corner of JingGao and if so any FS or HJ?

[Tannric]

Good times can be had at the "Prickley Flower" on "Last Chiang" Road Sec 2, or so I dreamt. Number 25 tagged my memory for 2KNT.

You sure you don't mean the end of Linson Rd?

Patrol? No, there was special action. 4 or 5 cars, cops inside and outside.

Yesterday when I drove to home from work I saw a lot of police cars and cops in one of the massage parlor in Jhubei. It was about 10 pm. Looks not nice

If you want an "In & Out Burger", then Aiko Massage is the place to call.

Aiko Massage sent over a girl named Li. Total rush job. She left after 20 minutes. I protested but you know who wins. I called Aiko and complained. She then (supposedly) called the Li to discuss. I was told that Li said that I did not say "No" when she was leaving. I protested and said I absolutely tried to get her to stay and of course I said "NO". Then Aiko said Li was already home which meant she lived within 10 minutes of the GH. I told Aiko that if Li did not come back that I would go out on the internet and describe the crappy service I received. She hung up on me. So here is my post. Word to the wise: DO NOT USE AIKO MASSAGE unless you want a lousy wham bam burger that treats your dick like a roto rooter.

I have been trying to figure that out. Last = jing? The characters would go along way in helping to find the place

Jing guo Rd? There are a lot of place of pleasure
