Seems that the locals have gone into hibernation again
Don't quite understand why they don't wish to join. This is such a great place to exchange ideas and reviews.
Regardless my buddies and I are heading there at the end of the month. Anyone into sharing some beers and some monger experiences welcome to meet up with us. Drinks on us.
Dave and friends.
A couple of massage places
I offer a counter to a recent Red Kilt review of UB Massage in Springs Hotel. I have tried this place 3 - 4 times over the last 2 years or so and the results have been the same. Awful. On a scale of 1 - 10, with 10 being the highest, I rate my collective experiences there as a 1 or 2. They score that for effort. The "massages" are unskilled and always rough, to the point where I have sometimes worried about getting injured. Seriously. And had to ask the girl to stop. The handjobs have been perfunctory at best.
I am not taking a shot at Red Kilt. He is an excellent contributor and reviewer on forums in several Asian countries. I just note that my experiences at the Springs have been uniformly bad. YMMV.
Have also been to Asia Massage and rate my experiences there only marginally higher than Springs Hotel.
Probably due to several factors, I think things have opened up a little in UB. It seems there are now many massage places where the girls offer services. One place I tried recently is Bolor Massage. It is across the street from White Horse Hotel and Strings nightclub. I found the rooms and facilities clean. Prices for bathing and massage are a little cheaper than UB Massage. About MNT 60,000 for a package. But here you discuss with the girl for extra services and a tip. The tip will be around MNT 30,000. Call me old fashioned, but it seems to me that when the girl gets the money directly, she has a higher motivation to provide a good service. I've had body-to-body massage, girl with no clothes on, followed by handjob. All very sensual. Other services were on offer. Again, the girls at this place have discretion to offer and what to offer. So YMMV.
Another place is Nuru Massage, or similar name, on Tokyo St, near the Chinggis Hotel.
There are other places. Talk discreetly to the receptionist. I find they will let you know if extra services are possible. I think more and more places are allowing girls to do this. I speak limited Mongolian, so I am not so far advanced of tourists.
Finally, I put in a small pitch to a massage place that is all massage, no extras offered. It is a Thai massage place, Sawasdee Massage. I think most guys will not be tempted at all to think about extras with the massage ladies here, who are older Thais. But these ladies do a good Thai massage. 2 hour package is about MNT 80,000. The place is in an old building just one building south of Seoul St. , the old building is on the same side of the road and just a few meters from Grand Khan Irish Pub and.
A side note to Dave see and his mates. Don't be too hung up about having a local guide. You'll likely do fine with massage by checking a few of the places mentioned more recently on this forum. I am not such an active night club guy. Getting a bit on in years for that. But I think as long as you stick to mainstream clubs in the center of town, you could find interested girls. Amateurs or semi-pros. Ask the door man whether foreigners are welcome. Most will be upfront with you. Mongolian guys can still be rough as guts, and there's more than a few louts who will cause trouble at the drop of a hat. The culture of Chinggis Khan has not yet been completely refined. Don't expect Mongolian guys to smile and wave like the guys in many SE Asian countries. But you'll be in a group of guys, so your safety increases. If I get a little time, I will try to post a review of clubs where I have had opportunities with ladies.
Still looking for a Russian lady
Its starting to really [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] me off, to think that it actually can be really hard to find any Russian girl in UB.
The population of UB stood only at around 6 700'000 when I first came here in early 2000's and now its almost reaching 1.5 million. It had strong ties with Russia in the past. Its an emerging city in North / Central Asia, and the demand for sex is on the increase too. So I really don't understand why aren't the Russian girls coming here to cater for these demands? Seems like a good idea to me, especially after the recent visa-free policy between the 2 countries.
I was also told that there are Russian girls in the some of the Chinese cities like Manzhouli and Harbin. Don't see why these places are more appealing either.
At Azhalover. I'm really looking forward to your upcoming report on 'those' clubs.
Cheers!
Less than 3 weeks until we arrive
Thank you to those of you who gave us some suggestions. Sounds like UB is not a great monger location, especially for 4 Americans who don't speak the local language. We tried contacting massage247. Mn for some massages and hopefully more in the room, but they don't respond. Sounds like the old joke of not being able to get laid despite having a fist full of $50's.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Love to meet a local for a drink or 3.
Dave.
