Great post…facials in China are great (and this is coming from a guy). Try shopping around though…88 RMB is a little expensive. If you go around to most barbershops you should be able to get a hairwash (including a facial) for 10-30 RMB, depending on what city you are in. The decorations on the walls won’t be as pretty as the ones in the 88 RMB spa, but you will get basically the same service.

Turning no water into an excuse to visit the salon, the Jersey girl makes the best of things.

I admit to a higher incidence of products breaking in China, but that’s part of the adventure! On with the chase, fellow expats!

Hey,

We Chinese crappy people make craps:-)

As Homer said, God brings like to like - always the same thing.

The art of living is to enjoy the craps in the living crappy life.

What is the point to fed up in good life by all the goods?

Life is about struggle, in between realty and dream, in conflict of right or wrong, in disagreement of lust and spirit, whether silverware or battery, whether blackout or energizer, whether chinese or american....

in the end nothing is really inportant, the only inportant thing is you shine the flash in the struggle among all the craps, and no matter what result you get, it don't matter, coz you're thru.

I really cheer Meg and Stick having a good chase in the condition that they are not use to it.

That is the spirit! The same as those who jump the fens and try to dream a American dream, and dream is not only in the land of America, nor land of milk and honey, but is in the faith of struggle of all the craps.

Look at our world, full of craps, besides our nature is still beautiful in a mid global warming stage, now whatelse is not crap, politics is not, market aggression...

I rather choose silverware or battery, it is a easy choice than to pick a leader in any country now

The oil massage part was pretty Roman, too.

I don’t envy you the inevitable fight with the landlord about how you and Stick broke his expensive appliance.

What is it with Chinese people? They make crappy products, then the crappy products break and they have NO IDEA what to do next!

I am not sure there are still some public shower places in beijing or not, like exactly the Roman style, that all peoples striped off naked and sit in the hot water pools, and rest in the steaming rooms, there were also massage services provided for a half hour heavenly treatment.

It is amazing scene that one hundred naked people sitting, chatting and resting in 15 room size pools.

And some teenagers met their unexpected relatives in there, sometimes they would get a good comment like:
You have grown up! I can’t believe it only a few months!

(you know what I mean?;-)

Privacy is rated ,

If some waiguoren or laowai enter in that place, I am sure he or she will be more than Paris Hilton.

You will break the staring contest record among all laowai in China

I really miss the time of sharing life topics with naked guys in the hot water pool. Honesty is exposed.
