Hmm

Yesterday, after a long afternoon of shopping, my mom and I decided to go to one of these foot reflexology places that are all over Hong Kong. We bargained our way down to 45 minutes of foot rub plus a bonus 10 minute shoulder and back massage for HK$90 each, which is about $12.

Half way into my foot rub, the masseuse's cell phone rings, and she gives me the one-handed treatment while her other hand is busy texting back the caller. I give her a weird look but accept it as the norm.

Later on, during my 10 minute bonus back rub - it was actually not a rub, but instead she was walking all over my back while holding on to a bar that's been mounted into the ceiling. So she's literally walking all over me while digging her heals into my back (ouch!) and then her phone rings again! This time, she ends up chatting with her friend for a good 3 minutes, while still digging her feet into me. At the end, she proceeds to crack everything single bone in my back and neck.

I'm still alive and walking.

Hi Sharon! This is Bill at WBI, Finance. I love your blog! Sounds like you're having a great adventure there, and with USAID, doing great things there for the people of Aceh.

Yomi and all the gang are still going and going "full-speed ahead".

Drop me a line sometime, when you get a chance.

Best, Bill
