"Dinosaurs Along The Silk Road" -- Sinofossa 2009 17: The Last Foot Massage
This was long, long after the tour was over...but I thought I'd toss these pictures in anyway. Matt, Jessie, and I stayed in Beijing for several more weeks to do some research with Hailu; one night we decided to go for foot massages. We actually had a few of these on this trip, including during the tour in Dunhuang (but I didn't have my camera with me!). I've had them before, too, and it seems that while there are some common elements, everywhere you go you get a different kind of foot massage. Most of them make your feet feel wonderfully squishy and airy, although depending on who's delivering, the massage can sometimes hurt a bit (well, what do you expect from having someone use their knuckles to drive your metatarsals into different time zones?!?).

We passed this sign in a bathroom on the way out. Matt figured out early on that it means basically "slippery floor." I like this phraseology better.
