Ladies & Gentlemen...YES, I am now a certified reflexologist. Reflexology is the art of healing through foot massage. (oooh that sounds beautiful!). Anyway, after 3 days of full time, full on, full one- on-one practice, I did my test today and got my certificate, with a very nice picture of my "not so bald anymore" head. I got this picture taken at the local photo studio and they air brushed it! First, he got rid of the awful looking zits on my chin (nice!) but then he proceeded to eliminate the marks on my forehead, which are kind of "me" you know?....and then, for the cherry on the icing, he started making my skin paler! I had to stop him there. I'd been putting blush on profusely, prior to the picture, so I had to let him know that in my book, dark tanned skin is actually attractive! Anyway, that reminds me that it is nearly impossible to get regular SPF cream here....they're all "whitening creams"....urgh! (YES, I have been to the local drugstore...for a little snoop around....it's all miniature, which is fun and great for travelling!). And about the hair, I admit that it's growing back fast and I am having mental debates as to whether I should re-shave it a bit....especially since I found "PORN HAIR STUDIO" around the block from Walai House. Last night I dreamt it grew back really long below my shoulders and it looked crap and I was craving having it shaved off again. Hmm, food for thought.
Anyway, I am now a thai cook and masseuse...so I have decided to venture out into the jungle for 3 days and try my skills on the local fauna...ELEPHANTS! Apparently, I will be employed to bathe them (and with them), feed them tons of food and sleep in bamboo huts atop trees beside them. Sounds like fun. The place is pretty well known here. So after that, I'll be heading off to the hill tribes up north for a couple of days of walking, getting to know the local hill tribes in a completely secluded non touristy area (the owner of Walai House knows a spot and there's 6 of us going out there) and seeing some waterfalls.
I'll be sending some pics today as well....I mentioned to you the owners of Walai House are a lovely couple who have made my stay wonderful....and that of Colleen and Michael, another lovely couple I was lucky to hang out with and who left yesterday. They organised a goodbye dinner out on the porch/lounge of the house, and of course, since I cannot keep away from the kitchen it seems, I decided to make my famous bomb cake (the one with the whipped cream, FRESH pineapple and ladyfingers) with hot chocolate drizzled over the top! It was great! And the fresh pineapple and very thick Thai cream really did make quite a difference. We managed to eat it all up!YUM!
