chinese massages

Today was a slower day. After figuring out the tuition situation along with a few other things, we went to lunch at the Fudan restaraunt. That was some DAMN good chinese food.

During the afternoon, we were hot and slothlike, and just ended up watching "Thank you for smoking". If you havn't seen it, leave your house immediately and rent/buy/steal it. Its fantastic.

Dinner was beef sticks(including chicken hearts, my favorite) and this pancake thing made with some sort of batter, an egg, soy sauce, spices, and this weird cracker. We followed that up with the most expensive full body massage we could buy(about 15 bucks). It was an hour and a half long, with oils, a seperate head massage and a shower with one of those shower heads that makes it feel like its raining rather than being in a shower. One part of it was actually pretty difficult, their hands would come dangerously close to my unmentionables on several occations, and I had to muster all of my will power not to pop wood. That took some real concentration and some unpleasant memory recall skills, but I made it.

It was also the second time(out of 2) that I thought i heard the women commenting that we were good looking guys. It was between each other, and i don't think they thought we could understand, but I could pick out certain words and phrases, and I'm pretty sure thats what they were saying. At one point one of them asked me my age. "22" I said. "ohhhh 22!" i guess they were 21, and had we both not been incredibly rusty on our chinese, Im sure we could have gotten dates. Too bad, they were cute.

I love this country.
