The problem is that the massage parlors in SF are crap compared to the ones in HK or China... of course I only found that out after coming to HK luckily.
I've found some decent ones in the East Bay where the girls were pretty decent. The few South Bay places I've been to were horrible... most of them aren't actually Chinese but really Vietnamese and quite older (which isn't always a bad thing as more mature girls tend to have more experience, but this wasn't the case).
