Spas, spas,and more spas

I can tell that I got a pretty good pick of the local habits here in Asia: Massages!
After a little more than a month here, I did mmmmh... 5 massages, lots of differences depending of the country! But oh so good!
You get the nice 2 hour massage after the full day in Angkor Wat, Cambodia. Great khmer mssage with the masseuse standing up on the bench to fully put their wight when massaging.. Surprising at first!
Then you get the foot massage for an hour in Pnomh Penh, Cambodia again, after a full day walking in the city, oh so good too! Very zen place, with view one the river and oh so cheap, 6$! I should pick up some of their decoration style!
Then a beach massage in Phu Quo0c, vietnamese, hum.. oh so cheap, but this time so bad.. I cant say that Vietnam does the best massages, its rough, hard, pressing everywhere it hurts.. Would not recommand it..
Then of course the spas in Hoi An, when it rains outside like a piing cow.. that is what best suits! Very touristy, and thus oh so expensive (4 times my sleeping budget.. okay but still half price than in europe!), but this time you get all the amenities with it! Jacuzzi( coooold, 'sorry jacu'i no work.... grrrr, and steam bath). This time noooo Vietnamese massage, one swedish, hey.. why not, one thai and one foot reflexology.. don't ask me.. I just picked randomly!

Oh well, what a tough life... I'm still missing the laos massage, and balinese massage.. I still have ont month, dooon't woory...
