I’m going to be really honest with you all: I went back with Lauren and Jessica and got another massage. Now that I told you all yesterday all the reasons this place is great for their country and for the masseuses, I can tell you physical observations which have nothing to do with them being blind, but just the general reality of shiatsu.

I wonder now if one should get a massage two days in a row. It was more painful today and it made my nose run so I kept having to wipe my nose which is quite yuck. Ok. Well they massaged my butt. That’s all I am going to say about that. I didn’t really think that I held tension in my butt because I think that would mean that it would have to have muscle. I think the only muscle in my butt is used to keep it perky. Other than that though, I think its just ghetto. Thanks Mom again for that. This woman had a double jointed left thumb which I figured out when she was massaging my feet. That was weird. Plus it felt really good which I hate to admit because I have a fear of feet that just runs so deep (PS random totally insensitive cultural remark but its not really exclusive to this country and I only say this because I just despite feet so much, but still: Cambodians have nasty feet. Tom’s shoes needs to come to Cambodia to cover their toes and feet for me before I return.) Also I think my entire body is going to be speckled with thumb print bruises. As Jessica said, I think there are gaping holes in my muscles now. Gaping. My hips cracked really, REALLY loud tonight. I think the whole room heard it. Oh and I almost cried: they put a towel on my feet for awhile, and then they flip you over onto your back so you are face up and then she was massaging my face with a towel on it and I’m pretty sure those were the same towels. I hope not but I know my feet were uncovered and then my face was covered. I am just saying. AND another important note. NEVER GET A MASSAGE WHEN YOU HAVE TO PEE. Of course I didn’t realize I had to pee until I was having my butt massaged. But I’m pretty sure I got a full kidney massage.

I THINK that is all I have to say about that. For now.

OK so this morning, I got up, Christina, bless her soul, found us a young, fun church. Although young is not hard to find here because 75% of the population is under the age of 30 here. But Christian is hard to do here since I mean it’s a 98% Buddhist country. But I guess that’s a challenge for missionaries. That’s exciting. So we went to New Life Fsomething. And it was just like Reality LA in Cambodia. And it was phenomenal. Except that a white guy was the pastor and he spoke in fluent in

Khmer. So we had to use little radios to listen to what a man from our own country was saying. That was quite strange since a Khmer man was doing the interpreting into a headphone set for all of us. It was all shades of funny looking back. Then Christina met up with Christians she knows and went to lunch. Jess Bear, Lauren and I went back to Friends today for lunch and we practically were licking our plates.

Then we swam for a long time. Quite a very long time. Then we went and got the massages. Then we went to dinner all eight of us minus Nas and Mer who always seem to be MIA at a place on the river. Go figure the one place we originally intended to eat had been relocated. SO that was useless as we walked up and down the SAME street SIX times, seven white girls and  a Sri Lankan. Yah, we looked all shades of ridiculous. Then Kiel was our ninth fall so she came but was sick, so Jess and I went home with her mid-meal, which was great since I was essentially unconscious on the table after the massage and just general exhaustion. And now I am lying on the floor singing musicals to Lauren and Jessica who think I am absolutely crazy but I’m not. Christina if you are reading this, then I love you and our Wicked singing festivals.

I just sang “What is this Feeling?” to Jessica. If you haven’t seen the musical, the answer is the feeling is unadulterated LOATHING. And that is for sure how I feel about my Ya-ya roomie.

Megyn if you are reading this, I’m now rocking out to South Pacific which they don’t get at all and they should cause we are so damn close to the South Pacific. This breaks my heart. Where is my Lieutenant Cable?

Tonight is a little shorter. Enjoy that.

I'm interviewing Him Huy tomorrow. I told yall to Wiki that. If you didnt then do your homework now.
