Any brothers know of a convenient barber shop or sauna club near the hotel? I am new to Shanghai and do not like to travel far (even by cab) to enjoy.

Go try Shu Jia Bao HC located on Yan Ping Rd, junction of Wu Ding Rd.
For FR read thru threads here...many many. Very nearby u.
RMN 600 approx. Taxi fare only RMB 12-15. 10 mins time away from your hotel JC Mandarin, at tops.
Have fun.

Regards.

So after consulting with some of the bros this is my proposal for thursday gathering:

Date: Thursday march 2nd
Time: 8pm
Restaurant: Grandma's Kitchen (Wu Qi)
Location: 2 outlets, one on Huai Hai rd (close to club DKD); one in Hong qiao (on Zun Yi rd, close to Xian Xia rd and to Yu Ping Sauna ).
Budget: 50 to 100 Rmb per person (dependind on the amount of food and drinks

PF.

There's another Wu Qi Restaurant located on Yu Yuan Rd, Jiao Zhou rd junction (right behind Jing An Temple, beside Burger King). Very convenient location as there's a Metro subway right there for all.

Cheers.

Not really. Did they have different rooms since the room I went was pretty new, much newer than most of the saunas I went.

I also remembered that the lady mentioned to me about the same price since she wanted me to "buy" her for another hour. I asked how much it would cost and she quoted another 750, which made it RMB1,500. Of course, I declined.

Is it Wu Qi Tang Wu? The place for soup and all? If that is the one it is on Huai Hai Lu off Cheng Du road. That one you can take the metro to HuangPi Lu station off metro line 1 too.

Anyway, I just ate there for dinner with my visiting friend. I do not mind eating there again. The line at the Huai Hai Lu branch gets really long though. I do not mind any branch although the Hongqiao one is slightly closer to me. Whichever works for most of the brothers.

Sports Hotel Columbus KTV FR

Felt like singing so I brought my friend to check this place out. Located on the 4th floor of Sports hotel in Xu Jia Hui area off Nan Dan Road. The hotel is undergoing renovation but the ktv is still in business.

It does not look crowded. In fact I did not see any other customers. We were there pretty early but I think there were less than 5 rooms occupied on a Saturday night. The decor of the place is a little dated but still acceptable. The sound system is very good though and I enjoyed singing there a lot. The songs are not the newest but overall it is ok.

Mr Huang is no longer there. I met the boss and the new MMS. MMS is not bad looking 26 year old. The charges are still the same. Flat rate 600 per room for free flow of beer and everything in. 888 if you opt for a bottle of chivas instead. Mixers, everything else and room is included. We went for the chivas and in the end got 12 cans of free beer as well. It is also up to you if you want a waitress in the room to pour drinks and dedicate songs. We opted not to.

The boss of the place came in and introduced a russian girl. Quite cute and pretty for only 18 year old. Tabao option is definitely ok. We went early so we get better picks. The girls are not the prettiest but they are ok. There are some real gems here and there. The tip for girls has gone up to 300.

Overall, the place is not as wild as some of the places I have been but it is not bad already. We drank, played games and sang lots of songs. The MMS even spent quite a bit of time with us and she took initiative to rabba us. She then ganged up with the girls to try to stip our pants. It was quite funny. After we settled the bill, we went to one of the girl's place to drink some more. And after that, we went to the MMS's place. I guess we clicked really well. We got home real late. Overall, it was very fun.

Decor: 6 out of 10 (shanghai standard)
Friendliness: 9 out of 10
Girls look: average 6 out of 10
Russian girl: 8 out of 10, 18 years old.
My girl: 7.5 out of 10, An Hui girl, 19 years old.
Damage:
888 - chivas option, all drinks and mixers, fruits and snacks. Inclusive of room.
300 - tip for each gal
200 - tip for MMS
100 - tip for waiter
Tabao: available but did not do it. Went to party at girl's place then MMS's place.
Overall: Not bad as sound system is very good and the price is not bad for shanghai standard. Sometimes you want to relax with friends and this place is not bad and more wallet friendly. I would not suggest this for entertaining customers. Girl's tip has gone up from 200 to 300. And there is MMS tip now. But if you go with a number of friends, it is very cost efficient.

The place will undergo renovation starting March but business will go on as usual. They will spice the place up. I hope they do not spice the price up too.

Brother Prince,

Oh shit! Thursday, a friend of mine is flying in. I will confirm his timing and let you know if I can make it. If he comes in earlier, I will bring him along. Is that ok? He used to cheong a lot also.

By the way, If you read Wu Qi in cantonese it is "Oak Kei", meaning home. The food there is excellent. The soup there is damn solid and prices are good. Healthy eating for once in shanghai! Hahaha.

Dear bros,

As suggested by SGP69 there is another outlet of Wu Qi close to Jing An temple. That give us another location.
So to all bros interested drop me a pm with your preferred location and by the end of tomorrow I will chose the place that got the most votes.

Cheers,

PF.
