That Was An Elbow In My Back...

I was recently in Thailand for work. Seriously, my job may not be the greatest, but I can't complain about the travel perks...

The group of us decided to go to a spa on the first day for a 90 minute massage. Things I've learned about a massage Thailand:

1. The price is fantastic, even in the fancier places.
2. Yes, it's normal for the masseuse to climb onto the table and straddle you.
   
3. A 80lb Thai woman can apply what seems to be 300lbs of pressure on your back.
4. Medium pressure is way harder than you think.
5. Even if you let them know it's too much pressure, they don't care.
   
6. You can never have too much work done on your feet.
7. I don't really like have my temples massaged...at all.
8. The anticipation of hot oil is worse than the hot oil itself.
   
9. 90 minutes is much longer than you think, especially when you're in pain.
10. Yes, that is an elbow being dug into your shoulder blade and no, it's not over yet.

Definitely an experience to be had, but next time I'm checking the box that says light pressure.
