My first Chinese Massage!!

When you think of "Chinese Massage" a lot of things pass through your head as to what techniques they would use, how good it is and so on. I had NO idea what to expect last night when one of the other teachers, John from Kansas, suggested that we go get foot and body massages, and a thing called "cupping" which involves taking a glass cup and placing it on your back and removing the oxygen with a flame, so it sucks to your body and "removes toxins". I'm not sure about that, but it did give me EPIC bruises over my back. It looks like I got hickeys from a shark. To top it off, it was 158 Yuan or $23 for about 2 and a half hours of work. wow.
