Khmer Massage

The hotel I'm with gives everyone a complimentary 20 min Khmer Massage. I read that a Khmer Massage is like a Thai massage but gentler. In fact the Thai massage is derived from the Khmer massage, but having only heard horror stories about the Thai massage, I was excited about the Khmer one and glad that it's only twenty minutes.

My verdict: it's like doing yoga but accompanied by the sound of bone cracking.

I enjoyed it, but at some moments I was worried for my body. The first scary part was when she used her leg to push my thighs while the other hand was pulling it. As she was kicking, I was so worried that she would kick my lady parts because her leg was dangerously close! Kishy told me he had the same fear. The second moment was when she asked me to put my arms around my head and then looped hers through mine so she could twist my upper back. Whoa, the sound of my joints twisting felt soo good.

Tomorrow we'll be heading to the National Angkor Museum and just walk around the city. Touring the temples today were really tiring, but I'll write about that when I get back so I can attach pictures chronologically.
