Foot Massage... ahhhh ouch!

I am on a mission to explore the world of massage everywhere I go,  heck why not? Its cheap and full of suprises! Thailand thai massage ,essentially is like a yoga massage, was found on every corner in Thailand and attracted men and women from all over. I think I got a massage each day and it was different every time. So now that I am in Taiwan it's a no brainer that my tired feet deserve a nice long foot rub for less than 10 dollars! Glorya and I walk into the closest shop and are directed to the two chairs on the corner with their own private tvs. Note #1: Unlike Thailand, here only men give the foot massges, atleast in this shop. We soak our feet in a big bucket while they rub our shoulders, nice and relaxing and ready for the fun to begin. Reflexology massage is relaxing in its own way, about hour after the massage, the technique is meant as a therapeutic assessment of your organ flaws. The practitioner started creaming up my pretty lil feet and suddenly I am in pain and his knuckle is in the arch of my foot. I quickly grab the foot reflexology guide next to me find out what button he just pressed- intestines... hmm ... must have been the chicken butt I ate. This continued for the next 40 minutes and when the massage was done, I happily put on my shoes and paid the shop for all the pain! Luckily its just my feet and not a body reflexology!!!
