Went there Thursday night (13th) and was told the place had no Full Service because of "repair" or "redecoration" but shower was available. Guess this location is too close to the Expo. I was given a number to call and check to see if the place is reopen for special service. If anyone wants it, please send me a PM.
The night got even more wierd as I came downstairs and walked the street a little bit, I guess to cool off my little head. Went by 2 ladies (1 older probably 40ish, 1 in the 20s) whom was asking the people walking by for some food. Very modestly dressed and seemed to come from the country side. Being the nice guy I was, I stopped by the KFC near Saracosa and bought them a couple of burgers and drinks. Then they proceeded to ask me if I live in Shanghai and if I can allow them to stay with me while they look for work in Shanghai, and they don't mind doing my house chores and cooking for me and more. WTF? I got out of there as soon as I can before my little head starts to make stupid decisions. Maybe it was a mamason trying to train a new pro. Anyway, it was weird.
More surprise followed, I walked by a foot massage place that looked professional and doing straight business as there was no purple color lights around the door like the other BBS. After 2 days at the Expo. My feet was killing me and I got the budget fun money to spend. So what the heck, I went in and asked for a simple food massage. They sent in this middle aged woman in uniform to give me the massage. That's even more hint this should be a straight place otherwise it would be a young girl who know nothing about massage. While my feet were soaking, she started recommending a couple of upgrades that can go into the water and some kind of special oil for my feet while massage. After firmly declined on these offers, she quit saying things for a while. Then when she started massaging my thigh and "accidently" brushed against my groin. While she was doing that, she started recommending body finger massage after I get done the foot massage. She said they have private rooms at the back and also have shower available. WTF? Unfortunately she was just too old and too ugly for my type and I declined that too. Then she started giving me these sad stories about how she only made 20RMB that day and she had eaten all day but breakfast. We went back and forth a couple times (I can speak pretty good Chinese since I didn't go to US until I was in the teens) and I stayed firm on my refusal. Then finally 2 more guys came in and got food massage, she finally stopped making recommendations and continued to give me a normal food massage.
It has been a very strange trip this time to Shanghai. 999 was the only fun I had. The other hotel I stayed at near the train station also had their Sauna in repair or redocoration. They did offer that they could send ladies to the room. But I have a policy of not having ladies in the room, so that didn't happen either.
Not sure if all of it are related to Expo. I am leaving China today and won't be back for a couple of more month. Good luck to all and hope you all have more fun than I did.
