Is there such a thing as too many massages??
Well, my first real discovery in Wuxi has been the massage centre. Ridiculously cheap massages and other treatments too. Three of us became members there yesterday and all had a foot massage - we provided great entertainment for the masseurs as we fumbled our way through the phrase book to strike up some sort of conversation. We have also struck a deal with one of the girls there - we help her with English and she helps us with Chinese, not a bad deal!
Am quickly learning some cultural no-nos. Tracey (from NZ) and I made our first appearence at the gym this morning and had a few important learnings - women are generally not seen in the free weights room and also, that it is not the 'done thing' to walk down the street in your gym clothes! We nearly cause some accidents on the road this morning!

And as for walking down the road in your gym clothes...have you looked at them and what they are wearing? Hilarious! Have fun in Hangzhou, look forward to meeting you soon! Amy
Well Anna, of course you're going to cause a scene if you walk down the street in your sports bra and mini bike-shorts!
