Sauna 968 -- Across from "The Office" bar at 968 Pudong Avenue
968 Sauna is located at – well, you guessed it – 968 Pudong Avenue. It's actually quite easy to find as it's immediately in front of the bar called "The Office". I've seen several write ups about people trying to figure out 'the game' with the girls at The Office bar. Well, the real game is thirty feet in front of the door at the venue clearly marked 968 Sauna Club.
Given that road construction has been underway for quite some time, and that Pudong Avenue has recently reopened straight through, there really hasn't been a lot of traffic in this area except from locals or those passing by on foot.
Inside the entrance there are usually a couple of guys who direct you to the staircase which takes you to the second floor. Check in your shoes, head to locker room, change and head to shower area, which is adequate, but nothing like Heting or Baoan. Attendants are marginally helpful, and definitely not overbearing. Following shower you've got to work your back to the drying area for the pajamas.
Resting area is a little tired looking, and could use some remodeling, but it will do. It's kind of similar to the resting area at the Merrylin Hotel across from the Intercontinental.
They use a server system for the girls with the mamasan making the arrangements. She's worked there two years and is kind of cute in her own right, and probably late 20s or early 30s. She's probably a solid six, might even be worth a work out – but not sure if she does session work.
She brings in a girl and its up to you to say yes or no. I haven't had to say no yet. She usually picks sturdy girls with a little meat on them – as opposed to spinners, which might be available, though I've not gone in that direction. Interestingly, I've always had girls with adequate racks.
Head to room where they have a bed, bathroom area with sink, and a shower that's pretty large. Strangely though, there is no toilet, but if you got to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] there's always the shower. (Kind of like a desperation [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] at Mango Massage or Tulip Massage in Bangkok.)
They do lock the door, which is helpful. Session runs about 70 minutes, but I've never had a clock watcher at 968. You can go with the menu and have the normal routine with cat bath and all the rest, or you can launch into a game of Tiger (as in get on the floor with that wet Tiger pussy sauna girl and let me throw the meat to you.) Bottom line is that most of the girls here have been kind of fun. No real stunners, no big time fancy décor. In many ways it feels a little like the old B2 World Plaza before B2 became run down.
Following the session you can go to the shower with girl for a soap-down rub-down mutual wash off, which is a nice way to wind down.
Following session, back to the rest area where mamasan usually comes in and checks on service level. Or, alternately, you could head over to the larger more open rest area (where she usually hangs out with her lap top) to report problems, if any encountered.
In summary 968 Sauna is an average neighborhood place that gets the job done. It's in a part of town where there aren't too many other choices. For those people staying at the Eton Hotel or Novotel, the "Tiger Options" fall off quickly if you're only looking at the row of massage parlors behind the Eaton Hotel, where you will be hard pressed to negotiate full service even if you BYOC (Bring Your Own Condom) though it can be done. If you're a Chinese speaker and want to negotiate at one of those massage shops, girls who will go full service generally demand 700RMB, which is not worth it IMHO. (Big time rush and most doors don't lock.)
Instead, perhaps a more interesting option is to walk to The Office bar, hang out a little, and watch the entrance to 968 Sauna to see if anything interesting shows up for work!
Price for a session at 968 is 650RMB.
There you have it a post on the Shanghai board with Expo in full swing.
Let the Shanghai Sauna paranoia factor begin to subside!
No names, please, please, please
[QUOTE=Garam Dharam]Went to XXX yesterday and all was back to normal (it was closed when I went 10 days back). Seems business was brisk as had to wait 15 mins before being taken to the fishbowl. The selection was a bit disappointing and it seems the regulars and the stars have retreated to their home towns (I know at least two who have done so). Picked no 53, 7/10: looks; 6/10: body. Made great use of her wired bra in pumping up her assets. And I picked her as she was the only one smiling.
Inside the room: Fairly mechanical, all the usual with decent skills but no real enthusiasm and playfulness. DFK not allowed, although she enjoyed DATY.
#10 also looked nice, will try her over the weekend and update the forum.
Bill: 790 with the VIP card.[/QUOTE]Please, no names until expo has ended. You want these places keep open, do not talk about them. Regular members will know what you talk about (see the other recent post), first time visitors will have bad luck for now, but actually that is in their interest because the risk is currently just too high. Use PM for info, do not publish details publicely!
