Because I had withdrawn too much money last night from the ATM I decided to spoil myself with a nice relaxing massage. Went to a place recommended by the Lonely Planet. What a mistake. I had a body scrub which was great cos I had 7 weeks of SE Asia dirt in my pores but the massage was the most painful thing I have ever been through in the my life.. well nearly!
At the end my neck and left shoulder were killing me and I couldn't turn my head to the left without excruciating pain shooting up the left side of my neck. The boss lady asked me at the end while I was sipping my herbal tea "how did you enjoy your massage" ... I tried to smile but was more a grimace and said "oh it was pretty good thank you" :-| I will never have a Laos massage again!! ... 2 1/2 hours of pain and 300,000 kip later!!! Oh well at least I spent some of that 1,000,000 kip!
