Balinese massage

A Balinese massage, at least the therapeutic type*,  is much like a  regular massage, except it's in Bali :). I know that sounds obvious, but that's my experience. "In Bali" is significant, by the way. That means a little thatched roof hut with roll-down bamboo curtains. Oh, and WAY cheaper; the going rate, if you aren't being gouged by a high-end tourist place, is about $7.50 per hour. No, I didn't goof on the decimal place. I didn't have to check back on my college degree to figure this one out: after my first massage I immediately scheduled one for the next day. I ran out of time, but I'd have one every day if I was staying there longer.

* Stay away from the reflexology kind over here; I had one in Shanghai (at the Shangri-La, not some dump) years ago and it put me in so much pain I couldn't believe it. And I didn't have some sensation in a couple of fingers for a day or so!
