It depends on where you're based.
For me, getting to Mango Hill is a 20 min drive, sometimes 25 min.
10 more minutes get me to Aspley, Virginia, Chermside, Nundah with 5+ shops and 20+ MLs to choose from, most of which are way better than what's on offer in MH or Redciffe.
Yeh any further north than Aspley is certified boiler territory. Decent selection at VIP, Y&H and Golden lotus in Aspley/Virginia. Toombul massage house might be another option, had a few good looking girls last time I was there. Walked cause I have bad luck with SA girls.
