Massage Sunday

Today we decided to treat ourselves to massages after we had to work this morning (Sunday...) and knew of a place next to the gym we belong to. After trying to communicate with the 5 Chinese women who worked there, we finally understood the price and length of the massage and went into the room with two beds next to each other. We were massaged and then scraped with a flat object (it hurt but not as bad as it looks like it did!) Our backs were so red after - looked like we were either badly burned or run over by a tractor. Ask us for pictures if you'd like! They're too gnarly to post.. We did some research after and were relieved to find that this is a typical massage and the redness shows the toxins being released. This YouTube video explains it- pretty interesting!  Scraping Massage Video Clip !
