You're probably not getting the response you wanted because you've posted in the wrong place. The best place for requests for information would be in the 411 section. Seeing as how you're a newbie though I'll try to help out...
Your most inexpensive place would be a micro, although finding them and arranging an appointment can be hit or miss unless you're Chinese. Typical micro prices are $100 - $160 for FS.
But you asked about an inexpensive massage parlour. I think that
generally you're going to pay something in the range of about $1 a minute for room charges (so a 60 minute session might cost you about $50 - $60). Tipping will cost anywhere from $60 (HJ) to $160 (FS) depending on what you're looking for. Some places will cost slightly more, some slightly less.
Two Asian Massage Parlours that I would recommend you search on eforum.xxx would be Swan Lake in Richmond and Prosper City in Vancouver. Both have been extensively reviewed in the past and both have mostly good reviews.
Generally when you arrive at the MP you'll pay the room fee up front and then get taken to a room where you're given the opportunity to shower. Once you've taken your shower and have dried off, remain naked and wrap the towel around your midsection and sit on the massage table and wait for the attendant to show up. She'll usually knock on the door, enter the room and then ask you to lay face down on the massage table. She might ask you to remove your towel, she might do it for you or if you lie down on the table, she'll probably remove it after you're face down... if you're shy.
She'll probably give you a massage for most of the session then at some point ask you to flip over. Hopefully before then she'll have teased you a little bit by rubbing your ass or "accidentally" touch your twig and berries during the massage. Once you're on your back, she'll usually ask if you want the special...
If I have to explain what to do next then you shouldn't be in the hobby.
Don't forget to give us a review, and if you need to post anymore questions, try using the 411 section.
Good luck and have fun.
