Massage/Chiro in Aus




So I had my first Aussie massage - was a bit concerned when I saw the long nails on the therapist. I thought if I got massage from a Physical Therapy office (Physio) there would be a better chance of it being "therapeutic" but....i was wrong. It was just a Swedish massage and a bit of an attempt at deep tissue. Room was cold and "doctors office-like" with no music or anything relaxing. Therapist didn't seem to have a lot of knowledge about the body. It really made me appreciate Brian Utting :) The chiropractic I've had here is wonderful, they do it a bit differently, like they tell you things are going to hurt or be uncomfortable (and they are) the whole time.

Food here is okay, I've mostly just been grocery shopping and eating at Kates house to save money. Espresso always comes with one shot (unless you as for 2) and in a tiny cup, so you'll often sit and have two! yum though, it's always tasty! I'm enjoying my days here just taking in the culture and people. Slower pace most definitely, it's really inspiring.

Pictures of Kate at a breakie place down an alley with plastic crates as tables and astro turf on the ground. Pic of a crazy looking bird, and of her shelf with her Obama book wedged between her "Sex in the City" DVD series on the left and big lips telephone on the right. :)
