[quote=GUESTNG HEN HOONG,433559]Recently I went to Beijing alone for a 5 days break.One evening on 22nd June 2011,I decided to do some shopping at the Wangfujing area. At about 21.10 hrs somewhere outside the APM shopping mall,I was approached by a lanky lady who ask me if I m intersted to visit one of the massage centre. She say,the room charges will be 100rmb unlimited time use..Feeling tired after some sights seeing earlier the day. I decided to lollow her to the centre..She brought me to  YS Karaoke which is located a 200 m walk from Novetel Hotel,Donganmen Street,Dongcheng District.
She show me to a Karaoke room and 5 ladies came in,I m told to pick, After I ve pick one of them,the tall lady who brought me left the room.
I m left with the GRo lady which I ve chosen, then I ordered 4 small glasses of Tsingtao beer,the Gro told me each bottles cost 20rmb..we finished drinking,she ordered2 glasses of wine/liquor..I assume those were wine as they come in wine glassess. We listened to some music and we drank about 10 glasses of wine. 2 hours later I decided that I ve enough,when the bill came. I got a shock of my life,the total was 8 thousands RMB, exclusive of a couple of hundred paid to the GRO and the mummy..I told the GRO that I do not have that much money,then the manager came in and asked what's my problem..So I paid via my credit card..I would like to know how such a Karaoke charge  so expensive for just  some drinks. I feel that I ve been rib off..Can anyone advice where and how should I lodge a complaint.
Thank you.[/quote]
