Another massage needed today and I deserve it :-)

I decided to treat myself today to yet another foot massage today. Normally I like to skip a day in between massages. If they do it right I need a day or two in order to recover. I went back to the first massage parlor I visited here in Chiang Mai. Now that I am experienced in the ways of Thai Massage or Thai Foot Massage, I wanted to see how the first stacked up against the rest.

She did good, a good job. 180 baht well spent.

While I was getting my foot massage a gentlemen came in and sat down beside me. He was from the UK. He limped in.  His right leg was all scratched up from the knee down. It looked painful. I asked about it and found out the injuries were from a motorcycle accident three days prior. The damage was just superficial but still looked painful. He lost control of the bike in a turn and went down. Thankfully he was going slow. This is the gift of riding a motorcycle here, they rarely go very fast. They weave in and out of traffic but their speed stays slow. Absent a helmet they still take their lives into their own hands.  No eye protection, boots or gloves they risk too much. This gentelman was wearing slippers, flipflops.

The feeling of immortality is a crime of youth... for youth is wasted on the young
