60 Minutes of Hell

For just $2.80, I experienced an hour of what most countries would consider torture. As for Thais, it was just another day in the life of a traditional Thai masseuse. This woman broke me. Not physically, thank God, but my mind was shattered to pieces. I would have confessed to anything she asked of me. However, I have to admit that after she finished with me, I had the deepest feeling of relief. I suppose anyone would be relieved after such a strenuous display of pressure point manipulation. Nevertheless, at least I can say that I had a true Thai massage - and let me tell you, it will probably be my last.
