One of the little luxuries of living in China is having a foot massage.
Don says that it will be something that he misses the most, and I agree.
Yes, we really are that shallow.
The foot massages are fun, healthy for your feet and very cheap.
The cost is usually between 88 and 98 yuan, which is under $15 and they are for 75 minutes.
First, you soak your feet in a bucket of hot water and herbs. Some places have little blossoms floating in the water.
The massage therapist then gives a good neck and shoulder massage while you are soaking.
Then the feet and legs are worked on. This is so wonderful for sore, tired feet.
At some places you have a heated cup placed on your feet. It can be either rubbed along your
arch or suctioned onto your foot. It is uncomfortable if your feet are stiff.
The first time the massage therapists brought out the fire to heat the cups, we were intrigued..
There are many surprises in China.
All our visitors have had fun with foot massages.
I have added a few photos are of the pearl shop that we enjoy going to. We are making some purchases for others and
it is ALWAYS a favourite place to go. Here is the fellow that helps us. He is the son of the owners and works with his mother, and he
speaks English very well. The tiny shop is in the wholesale pearl district and is about 12 feet wide. There is a photo on the wall
that shows the Queen of Sweden buying her pearls there. We always chuckle to ourselves that we are buying our
pearls where the Queen of Sweden buys hers.
