value for money, the tour ends at about 2.30pm so better to have heavy breakfasts since there’s no stop for lunch

most amazing caberet show i have seen. evolved from a mediocre show of beauty to a full arts performance. 10/10 for professionalism, costumes and props.

saw this evolved from a small shop to a full blown luxury massage establishment. i emailed them 2 days prior and wanted a strong masseuse. they replied its confirmed on the email. on the day i came the receptionist said i have to email them a day before to confirm. then it seemed like they gave me a random masseuse. it was relaxing but not the strong massage i wanted. despite two reminders. one to the reception and one to the masseuse.
