And I'd like to add that the last time I went to a massage, the girl did something to my butt that I didn't like and I got up and walked out. It wasn't what I paid for. I can speak Chinese and there was no miscommunication - I just went to the wrong place. I'm not one to pay $100+ for a massage, and I absolutely won't get a massage at a place like the Grand Hyatt, nor where I think it's catering to foreigners and thus is overpriced. This experience happened in Jinan!! Yes Jinan, a city where none of you live and where there are 10 foreigners. I was bored walking around, saw a sign for a very reasonably priced massage (that looked somewhat professional), and that's how it happened. If I'm going to get a massage in Xintiandi, no one will do that to me, ever. Maybe I'm cheap on this - and maybe why I've had bad experiences with them - but please don't accuse me of making stuff up.
Ok, done ranting now.
