Most karaoke bars are very quiet during week days, but get more lively on Fridays and Saturdays. I agree 100 % of your comments about the boys attitudes in SK, and there are some real gems here on some nights, but they are well-hidden. Be High is also very hit and miss.
The number of massage places is now very high (about 10 I guess) but I understand that not very place and not every boy "offer" happy ending, unlike Nine Spa.
