Sitting at my girlfriend's room in singapore, passing time till the end of Yom-Kippur (look it up people!), and as my thoughts revolve for some reason (again, look it up, it's a google away) about food, my mind takes me back to a few days ago when we were both still at Bangkok - walking it's streets (not more smoggy than Tel Aviv, which probably only reflects on Israel badly), smelling the smells, tasting the tastes (really good tastes too) had REAL thai food - nothing like the thai restaurants in my country, and, not to forget, a good brazillian meal - they just keep bringing you meat, and roasted pineapple.. I warmly recommend ostrich meat by the way.

But enough of all those food thoughts. Still have a few hours to go till I can eat. So on I move to the massages. I had two sessions of massages there. Both are of the Thai Massage kind, and both were good

The first was a foot massage. Roughly one hour (or maybe more) of tending to your feet, your toes, your banyons (if you got any), and at the end you also get some shoulder massage just to make you feel good in case the foot treatment didnt.

Anyone who's ticklish should be warned, and naturally, clipping your toe nails beforehand is always a good idea

The second massage was the full body massage. And sorry to disappoint anyone with other thoughts - there was no sexual hunky punky involved.

We went to this big (maybe 10 floors) spa complex, all lined with stone and inside with tick wood hallways. Waited our turn and were taken to the 7th floor where we were shown into a quiet room and been given clean spa garments. That's needed, since you come off the street drenched in sweat and smoky from the buses and whatnots.

Two masseuses came in and started the session. They gave us about a two hour treatment which included popping all joints, using pressure points ranging from the head and scalp to the feet and toes to alleviate tension and energize blood flow in the body. I felt as if my body was used in an Origami folding session, but it was really good. I can testify that my body felt strangely light afterwards.
