Thanks stillthrobbing for your kind words. I think I will have a good chuck-wow tonight.
I agree with brief encounter. I first asked the Chinese mamason with long hair, who came past to our table once, about my masseur and I hesitated to believe a word he told me becasue of his I-am-not-interested gesture. I then asked the Thai mamason with short hair the same questions. Surprisingly his answers were the same, but he answered questions enthusiastically.
The enthusiastic Thai mamason who recognised my CFS companion and welcomed us as we walked in seemed to go around and talk to us and other customers more often than the other one, and he was also willing to give info about the masseurs. Like B.E., I trust him better.
