It is actually not that cheap but I did know that I paid more than 4 times the going price in one of the cities I visited for that MA that night. We just had such a good thing going so I did not want to ruin the moment over a couple thousand RMB. It is more about the whole experience and service quality from the moment you step into the spa or sauna club till the moment you leave. You are being treated like a king (actually better than a king IMHO).
I did not go to any cheap places nor any places that employ girls as sex slaves. All girls are there by choice because of the money and they only work for a few months anyway before they are rotated out. They are there by choice just like the girls here. You have choices of Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Koreans, Mongolians (yum yum yum), supermodel looking Eastern Europeans (yum yum yum too) and maybe Japanese too everyday. Of course, they have a star system on the price of each girl but the point is that all the girls are very pretty even the ones without any stars. And they are well trained too in either massage skills, teasing skills, or loving making skills before they are sent to service customers unlike that most of the girls here that only know how to spread oil on your body or just lay there. (The star or super models only know how to do body massages using every part of their entire body with soap and "sliding gel"... they don't do any real massages.)
You get to spend up to 12 hours there with unlimited supply of good quality food and drinks in a super super comfortable environment with 60'-100' TVs. I spent many World Cup nights there as it would have been way too hard to wait for the world cup games to start at 2:00 or 3:00 am. Nice body rub (with some sex acts), amazing foot massage, relax and enjoy the food and wine, watch the catwalk shows by all the girls, pick the massage girl that gives you the kind of massage you want (and don't know that can actually be done until you experience it) followed by fs if you want, more rub, find your favourite seat to watch the game on the big TV, more great food and wine, pick another girl to play with when your favourite team won (extra $$$), breakfast ... repeats for as many world cup nights as possible ... now I may just want to visit for a short trip next summer again
