This site has some other reviews - http://www.urbanatomy.com/index.php/life-a-style/features/2635-shanghais-best-bath-houses And there is one place that is in Pudong. Athens Palace This cyclopean neo-classical temple to the scrubdown and rubdown must stake a claim to being Pudong’s gaudiest-grandest. Passing between colossal Corinthian pillars one is swept through the vast marble lobby, in through the changing rooms, and to the bathing area. The sauna is huge and hot, as is the 44 degree “Pool of General Flowers” (we think he must have followed a scorched flesh policy), so we elected to soak in the slightly less scalding “Traditional Chinese Herbal Bath.” The meaty massage men get stuck into you with Herculean labor, and once you’re done in there four floors are yours to explore, with everything from pool tables and ping pong to a restaurant, a movie hall and darkened rooms in which to snooze. For those with footballers’ feet like ours we’d recommend you take advantage of the fine art of foot shaving on offer. This involves some poor wretch shaving huge scrapings of calloused and dead skin from the soles of your feet with a huge metal scalpel. The guy must have seen some hideous things in his line of work, yet he was still visibly harrowed by the state of our yellowing hooves. Which only goes to show how much we needed it. Ned Kelly Special treatment: A half hour body scrub will set you back RMB38, or of course there is the foot shaving, also RMB38 Address: 8 Dongfang Lu, near Pudong Da Dao, 5887 6999 Admission: RMB58, Open: 24 hours. Never been, but tell us how it goes! Hi Pascal,

My wife keeps hoping he will pop up with a new blog, I think she's going through withdrawal, but keep telling her she's got to get over it.... We miss your take on life James, it was a great break in the everyday monotony. You've put a hurt on the entire blogging world, you may not have noticed it, but it's more then just you're two buddies that have drastically dropped their posts - what power do you hold?

The Bulldog (after the refurb) started off well with the whole 2-4-1 thing, but the last time I went they were just charging 2x the price of anywhere else, and then giving you a 'free' one. No bargains to be had there. Moe- the drinks were expensive on TRL, except for at the restaurant on the 3rd floor of Judy’s.

The drinks weren't that cheap anyways. So what do you think of the bulldog? 50 rmb for a pint and usually 2 for 1. TOngren Lu is now closed due to the expo and all the before metioned prostitutes.
