I’m sitting soaking wet after taking a 40 minute run this morning. It went a lot better than the first one (it was 10 minutes longer and my heart rate was close to normal), but I can’t seem to stop sweating.
Yesterday I went to pick up a few things that I had forgotten (like swimwear – how did I forget that?). I also bought that portable keyboard, so with that I won’t be needing my notebook to write emails. I also went for a massage with Sin Jiang before dinner yesterday. Now, it was a real massage, not a “Thai” massage or anything you’d find around the airport in Toronto. I had never been to the place before, but basically it was like a health spa. There was a men’s section and a women’s section with a bunch of whirlpools, a sauna, steam room and showers. After a few minutes in the sauna (why people would have a sauna in an equatorial country is beyond me), we showered and went upstairs for the massage. The local massage people (there are ladies and men that give massages) cost 60,000 Rp (about $6 for an hour) and the Chinese imports cost $12. Yearly memberships are about $1 a day with access to the all-you-can-eat buffet included.
