Accepting appointments :)

After 30 hours of thumb aching massage and 2 examinations Maria and I are now certified to give 1.5 hour Thai massage. Now I know what you are thinking and NO I don't give a Thai happy ending to my massage.

I was however constantly getting in trouble from my teacher as she would often slap my hand while I was practicing and yell "No, no, impolite, hand too close to mountain!" As soon as her supervisor was not looking though she was wiggling her bum at me and sarcastically saying "Sorry, sorry, I didn't know" but it was all in good fun.

The course itself was a grueling 5 days. I had to get up and attend class everyday from 9 AM to 4 PM with only a one and half hour lunch break and one afternoon ice cream break. They did provide a really good free vegetarian lunch though and I got to buy a fresh coconut everyday for my drink :) I don't know how I'm going to handle a job ever again.

If there are any single guys out there interested in the hippy/granola type then I recommend you enroll in one of these classes as the ratio for men to women is 1:20. They are not all granola but there is a large majority... always getting you to try feel their chi and crap. There were actually quite a lot of masseuses and masseurs studying there from all over the world but god forbid you actually call them that as they consider themselves "therapists". I personally had enough and wanted to tell them to go suck on their herbal ball. Saying that we were lucky enough to have all awesome people in our class.

PS CanSis, you are no longer the only one to have been straddled by a therapist while receiving a massage!
