Sep 23: Massage

This is just a note to say that after an hour and a half of a foot massage followed by a body massage two nights ago (for approximately $10) and returning to the same place today with Fabi for a scalp and shoulder massage and hair cut and ear cleaning and eyebrow arching and three green hair extensions (all for $8) I am REALLY bitter that I live in a culture where massages are considered rare and very expensive indulgences.

A wee example: Professor Ying organized the first outing for the MF board and various professors the other night. She told me ahead of time that she'd called to say we'd be coming in around 9 PM, but she didn't know how many of us there would be. Since I knew the number was somewhere between 15 to 20, this seemed a very big fact to leave out. Until I got there. The three-story building can accomodate over 100 people, and walk-ins are the norm.

SO bitter.
