Well I hit Island Spa this weekend, it was definatly an unusual experiance, not bad per se, but not what I am used to.
Shower was good, hit the dry sauna and then went back to the room for the massage. Massage was VERY rushed, real quick flip and my time on my back was quite out of the norm. All in all I spent. 8 +. 4 and was in and out in under 40 minutes.
If SMs want more details PM me.
Well, I have visited most everyone in the Charlotte area. And seems most offer the same thing everywhere you go. It became so monotonous that I actually backed off for 2-3 months. It use to be much better than it is now. Service has severely dropped. There are much better deals out there if you know where to look. I dreamed I use to be Hot Stones top customer, and decided to revisit last week. In this dream I had Nana, and as per usual, even in my dream, it was like cookie cutter work. So I dreamed I tipped the standard amount, and got "is that all? " in return. Are you kidding me? What the F was that about? Not a thing different from there or anywhere else, and complains over. 40 tip? Yes, that is all, especially when a much better massage and perks can be had elsewhere for less. I can genuinely say, I will never be back there again!
[QUOTE=Sgt Steel]Went to Spa 74 last week on my continuing quest to explore all the amp's during my leave. Paid the door fee and was ushered into a room. Was given these shorts to wear during the TS that looked like they would fit Shaq! I knew that this was not a good sign. Got a very good massage considering that it was through a sheet and then that was it. They must have thought I was a punk cop. That's what I get for keeping myself in shape. I didn't get my masseuse's name. The reviews on this place were mixed and I had to find out myself. Perhaps YMMV applies here. I have a shitload of money, but I won't be back. Sgt. Steel out.[/QUOTE]I would give it another chance. I was visiting Charlotte a few weeks ago and had an awesome experience. You are right about the Fat Albert shorts. I just laughed and said that I wouldnt fit and didn't wear them. I then stood there NAJB, hold my towel in my hand as we walked to the shower. Got a pretty decent massage, with HE, along with unexpected PM.

Dropped in on Saturday and Anna was asked to give me the works. She pounded, walked on my back, and generally beat the crap out of me. Wonderful. Just what I needed.
[QUOTE=Big Trouble]My apologies.- I did mean to report on the Hanna's next to Rainbow. I am not sure why I had Lily's on the mind. Perhaps due to the unfortunate recent LE activity there.
Here is an interesting cultural note I'll add. Those of you with more AMP experience than me may understand this issuer better. I got the sense at Hanna's that they were not terribly fond of the folks at Rainbow. At first, I thought it was just good old American competitiveness. When I pressed the issue with my talkative provider, she explained that the girls at Rainbow were typically Chinese, whereas the girls at Hanna's and Lily's are Korean. I'm not sure what the implications of the difference might be to us as consumers, but would love to be enlightened if there is any.[/QUOTE]
I've recently commented on the Korean vs. Chinese massage establishments in a different forum (Baltimore>massage parlors). My basic take on this issue is as follows: While there are exceptions to every rule, the Chinese tend to operate Apartment AMP's (AAMP's). In general the Chinese do tend to be a bit less hygienic. In all most AAMP's, for example, a shower is not part of what is offered. I've also found (and some may regard this as an advantage) that the Chinese providers are much more likely to go bareback than their Korean counterparts.
I believe that most Koreans who will agree to DATY will first go and douche themselves. The Chinese are not nearly so fastidious. If you take a gander at the international board, China forum, you will find that Chinese girls in their own country seem much more likely to go bareback. My guess is that this has to do with the poverty and generally lower lifestyle in China. There may be other influences. I can also say with relative certainty that some diseases such as HBV have a higher incidence in China than in Korea.
So there it is gents. Keep this in mind whenever you visit any AMP and also that it may behoove you to determine the country of origin of the providers.

If I may weigh in another possibility Lex. I don't dispute your opinion and in fact agree. There may be another possibility though. I once took a K friend to another AMP so she could inquire about working there. I waited in the car and when she came out, she had a less than happy face. This was a K AMP so I wasn't quite sure what the problem was. My friend's English was not much better than my Korean but when I asked what was wrong I did figure out that she believed the manager or owner to be communist. She was definitely not going to work for a communist. The word communist came out very clearly. I asked, "From North Korea?" She said, "Yes. No good." Considering the political landscape in China this may or may not have something to do with the feelings between K girls and C girls. I've also noticed in leisure times with a couple different K girls that they don't seem to hold Filipina women in high regard, although I haven't quite figured that out yet.

Prostate massage.
I went to Lilly's yesterday. Seems like a decent spa with good potential. It was my first time there so I wasn't expecting much. Wasn't impressed with the massage girl, cici. Didn't speak much english, and wasn't very attractive. I could cope with that if the massage was good. It was probably one of the worst professional massages I have ever had. I really think this place has potential, I just got a girl that was either new or just not very good.
I will try again.
They also said they didn't take appts. I showed up and they told me to come back in an hour. I came back and they took me in. Asked about setting up an appt in the future and they said just show up.
Went to CTS the the day and once again had very good time.
Went to Lillys and now they got a cut out in the door and glass over it I thought rainbow was bad whe they took the door handle off but this is 3 times bigger. I did notice just one of them had it on I think but I guess more coming. They just cut a hole like 4 inches wide and about 10 height and filled it with glass.
Had occasion to visit Hot Stone & Island recently. I can recommend the new girl Pink at Hot Stone. Tina at Island if she is still there. She said she was just there for about two weeks.
A return engagement at the Lily Spa, with Anna. Again, she pounded me into submission. She is 40-45, with a voluptuous bod for a Korean. She seems to have made it her mission to stretch these old bones to the limit and I feel much better for it.
Last night I struck out at Lillys, I was running late and by the time I make it to Charlotte the place was locked up, lights off. Since the manager said she would wait for me I stopped in but no cigar.
Since the night was young I figured I would try Woodlawn. Upon arrival I noticed the place was a ghost town. The boss lady finally came to the door and showed me to the changing room. No other girls were there, bummer due to the boss ladys look. TS was ok not the best, decent massage. Other details are not very important but the menu is very limited. Overall I was not impressed with the service but the boss lady was very chatty and nice.
Verdict = Last Visit there!
I was in Mathews the other night and on my way back stopped at Island Spa, it was closing time, but they let me in. Met Jessica, she has a sexy figure, would rate her 8 of all other MP gals, easy to talk and understand. Had a decent TS and the massage was OK.
I will defintely go back for her.
Be Safe,
OC
