I just got back from having a massage.
Yes, life in Thailand can be tough.
But at €12 for a 60-minute massage, at least I won’t go broke anytime soon.
Anyway, the masseuses here speak English.
Kinda.
They can tell you “on your back” or “on your stomach.”
Or sometimes just “back” and “stomach.”
But today, I had a problem understanding what my masseuse want.
She said “up” and “leg” and “here” and “no no no.”
Finally, I understood that she wanted me to sit like this:
But she didn’t know how we say that in English.
Do you know how to say it in English?
What about this?
Or this?
These are three ways to sit that any native speaker would know how to say.
Make your guesses in the comments below.
No cheating with the internet!
And I’ll tell you the answers tomorrow.
Hmm, it looks rader a yoga practice than a massage. What kind a massage was it?
Thai massage!
I don’t sure for picture #1, but I think so:
Picture #2: Sit straight in squat position with elbows on the knees.
Picture #3: Crossing left leg over the right leg.
Lotus pose. It’s a common yoga position where you sit cross-legged with each foot resting on the opposite thigh.
By the way, I didn’t receive this email. Just like yesterday.
I would say:
1) sit like Buddha
2) sit like you are in turkish toilet
3) move one leg over the second, knees have to be up on themself
1. Sit in a cross-legged position on the floor!
2. Can you get in deep squat?
3. Sit with crossed legs on a chair!
Hi everyone!
Have a funny evening!
