I would consider u as lucky.
Most shops have house rules that once u see the girl, consider deal, so by right if u regret while havn't seem the girl u still can ask for $ back, best is to make decision b4 hand over the money. Hisyo i paid, while waiting, sora last minute cancel work that day, they gave me back the money.
Cheating, scams? Foreigner got disadvsntage here, u will got no sympathy frm them, worst u could have een beaten up if they think u here for trouble.
Photoshop is a norm, i went all highend shops but once i tried dream group then i realised, if low end shop girls are so pretty as the web photo, highend shop closed down long ago. Highend shop photoshop some girls can be bad, then low end can be even worst. If u dun like photoshop, u can always dun go there, u make the choice.
I used to have high expectation when first going to soapy then it become worry and fear b4 i see the girl. I tried almost all jav i can have there, now i move on to others.
Dun like photoshop go tobita, see the girl then make ur decision.
Still ur eyes must be sharp even at close range of the girl.
Tobita is more expensive but u get what u pay for
