Spa Day

Woo hoo!.... we love spa days.  In China you get great services for very cheap.  Since I (Maria) don't work, I get to enjoy more of these great services more often than my hard working husband. he he.  But once in a while we go together and enjoy a nice anmo (massage).

Just so you get an idea a decent face massage will normally cost any where from $50-$100 in the US, in China 60RMB ( less than $10 US). 

On this particular day we decided to try something new rather than the usual oil massage.  We wanted to try more traditional Chinese services. 

Spanish Translation (ST): Nos encanta ir ha darnos un masaje.  En China uno pueda tener un masaje por bien varato.  Como yo (Maria) no trabajo, puedo disfrutar de estos servicios mas que mi esposo trabajador. he he.  Pero algunas veces si vamos juntos ha darnos anmo (masaje).  Nomas para que tengan una idea, un masaje facial cueste como $50-$100 en los Estados Unidos.  Pero en China cuesta como 60RMB (menos de $10).

En este dia particular decidimos tratar algo nuevo.  Queriamos tratar servicios tradicionales de China.

Chinese Cupping

 It's suppose to be good for relieving sickness, pain or stress.  The more purple the cup leaves on your back means the more tense that area is.  Arturo said it didn't hurt and all he felt was a lot of pressure.  Circles on his back lasted about 3 weeks.  I tried it a few days ago and it will be the last time I will ever do it.  It hurt so bad, the lady kept telling me..... "It hurts because you don't have enough skin for the suction, so you feel more pressure than others"....lol ha ha.  I thought it was funny the way she said it.

ST: Catacion Chino:  Este proseso es para aliviar todo el mal, dolor ho estres.  Entre mas morado deje las copas en la espalada es que ay mas tencion en esa area.  Arturo dijo que no le dolio nada que nomas sentia presion.  Los circulos le duraron como 3 semanas.  Yo trate este proseso ase 3 dias y no me gusto.  Me dolio un monton.  La señora me decia... "Es que no tienes tanto pellejo poreso sientes mas presion" ja ja

Scraping 

So I ( Maria) got my back scraped.  It's also meant for relieving tension.  I can't lie, this also hurt me a lot.  

ST: Yo (Maria) trate este tratamiento, se llama raspar.  Tambien es para aliviar la tension del cuerpo.  No puedo mentir, esto tambien me dolio mucho.  

This is the place we stayed at for the day.  It was awesome!  A full size suite just for us!  The bathroom has a sauna and jacuzzi.

ST: Este es el lugar donde nos quedamos por el dia.  El baño tenia un sauna y jacuzzi.

Over all Chinese remedies are great!  One of my favorite things to get done is acupuncture. / Dentro de lo que cabe, los remedios Chinos nos magnificos!  Unas de las cosas que me gusta tratar es la acupuntura.
