We now resume our regularly scheduled adventure, already in progress..........

Jamaican in China!--"Eight Days in Laos" Day 2  

 

               You know what? I haven't been in a sauna since leaving Saipan. And you know what else? I've never had a professional massage.

               It's something I had wanted to do in Beijing, Kunming and Jinghong, but just never got around to finding a location. Well, here in Laos I found one.

               There's an Herbal Massage and Sauna spot located on the same lot as Minority Restaurant. So, since I'm here, there's no need to put it off any longer!

               So today's agenda is simple:

               Sit in the sun.

Minority Restaurant, Luang Namtha, laos

'Laxin' in Laos


               Get a massage.

Yes, I do have a photo of me getting the massage, but you'll have to be a member of my extra-extra-EXTRA special mailing list to see it.


               Do the sauna.

               The sauna room is constructed of bamboo. It's a little hut that sits atop some wood columns. Out back, behind the sauna hut, there's a huge pot sitting over a fire, with a hollow bamboo pipe positioned to direct the herbal steam into the hut. It gets pretty hot in there. Dare I say "oppressive!"

               No Minority Restaurant today since today was one of those days I didn't eat. The sauna shop opens for business at 4:00pm each day. I kept an empty stomach all day in preparation for the massage and sauna. They finished squeezing and boiling me at about 7-ish, which is too late in the day for me to eat.

               I'll eat tomorrow.
