Post subject: Foot Massage

I had a great foot massage in Flushing New York. Everyone working there are Shanghainese....Very nice....English was not spoken....I thought I was in Shanghai until I paid the bill...

I don't get the whole foot massage thing. Doesn't do anything for me. Prefer a neck and shoulder.

Foot massages are a great way to send me to sleep. It's a bit weird at first as I very ticklish, but after a while I nod off.

I never understood why anyone would get a foot massage. Then night at dinner I was invited to go for a foot massge.... I thought it was a joke.. We go to this very nice place and get a private room.....AND WE GET A VERY NICE FOOT MASSAGE,,,, I was really surprised that was the whole deal, and I really liked it...Now I get two or three a week...

It's a different kind of Happy Ending

foot massages (not the gentle ones) are fantastic revitalizers. used to get them between meetings and dinners when clients were in town. after being awake for 12 hours and knowing there was another 9 to go before the day was over, a foot massage would make it possible.

Actually it's a huge Asian thing - foot/body massages are huge in Thailand and India as well.

I was always the same Mr Mat...I've always had this thing where I dont like people touching my feet for some silly reason. That said, I've had some wonderful foot massages lately at Jade Massage near XinTianDi.

Highly recommended from this Walrus...
