We Hong Kongers are addicted to massage. No matter how Hong Kong dollars depreciate vis a vis Renminbi, flock of zombies rush to the massage parlours round-the-clock in Shenzhen, healthy or filthy ones.
There are way too many stuff for us to handle in our everyday life. Gossiping, clamoring, surfing etc., the pressure exerting on our frail bodies, from foreheads and shoulders to thighs and feet, are somehow too much. Our stiffen bodies, together with the numb mind, are finding way out. Unfortunately, most of us are short of motivation to relief through exercise and thus, massage is so vital.
We are too familiar with different types of massage. Foot reflexology is the basic therapy for our feet after any winding shopping. Subject to the intensity of boss's illogical requests, in the weekend, we go for massage from head and shoulder, to the whole body in Shenzhen. When double pay is finally on hand, the annual extravagant indulgence spa in Thailand could not be waited for another extra second. And for the massage created most GDP is, of course, the phallus massage.
Paradoxically, as a habitual runner, I do not have great desire on massage. From gut feeling, people would think that sport lovers would have stiffer muscle. However, with proper stretch and relax through exercise, the body is relieved unconsciously. Though the need is not great, I would enjoy those rare occassions of massage, if come.
