My first massage trip in Addis
I first tried to find some of the reviewed MPs on this forum in Bole area, but couldn't locate any with the best of effort. However, this turned out to be unnecessary, there's an MP literally every 3-5 min, whichever direction, whichever street in the Bole area. I deliberately walked a bit of a distance from my hotel and made my first pick:
Sabela Massage; right behind Aclana lodge (Google it) at the street corner to the south. The place had pretty ladies, 4 sitting around, with the pretext of a formal establishment, lab coats and all. They seem to take turns, so one of them got up and automatically walked me to the room, no chance to choose. She was good looking so I didn't protest. Her attitude, however turned out to be terrible. She gave a decent massage (seems she has some training), after about 20 min, flip, then another 5 five min on front side, then 'we are done'. I ask, what about extras? After learning I want FS, she quotes 1000, I say no way, and counter with 300. She says 300 is for HJ. I tried to negotiate, but she was firm. I said tough luck, wasn't going to get ripped off om my first Ethiopian booty, not if I could help it. It didn't help that we mostly used sign language because she spoke no English. I took a shower, paid the massage 200 and left. Literally 30 m or so to the south was another MP, Take Massage, I walked in.
Take Massage: Turn right as you walk out of Sabela and it is right there to the right of the cross street. Relatively new, they said it was 3 months old. This place was more of the AMP style you see in the US, blinking lights and all, no lab coat pretense. You know off the bat there is nookie to be had. Only 1 lady was free, but she was skinny and good looking so I didn't mind. She had a bubbly personality, spoke decent English, about 5'5", perhaps mid-late 20's, name Rosa or Roza. I didn't expect much on the massage side but she turned out to be a much better masseuse than the lady of Sabela. Small girl, but strong hands. Massage lasted about 20-25 min, then she asked what I wanted. We agreed on 300, but I ended up giving her 400 for the FS (+200 for massage), just because of the superior service. She is a dynamo in bed, excellent IOP, with some moves that only come with extensive experience. She gave me her number and requested that I call her when she's off duty. Unfortunately I am leaving town, we could have done lots of stuff together, shame. I'll keep the number just in case.
I had planned to visit another MP I saw saw around the corner after Take Massage, another 50 m away called Mack Massage, but Rosa drained all the desire and energy from my system. Walked back to my hotel and took a nap.
