			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was in Hangzhou, I went for a nice massage (not the happy ending kind).</p>
<p>After the massage there was an awkward moment where she started pointing to her mouth and making dodgy noises. I couldn&#8217;t understand what she was saying in Mandarin, but then she tried Cantonese and I got it. She was asking if I wanted anything to eat.</p>
<p>I turned down her kind offer and she then offered me <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_cupping" target="_blank">cupping</a>. The price seemed reasonable, and I&#8217;d heard about it before so I thought why not give it a shot.</p>
<p>Here is the result:</p>
<div class="g2image_centered">
<div class="wpg2tag-image"><a href="http://casualgenius.com/gallery?g2_itemId=726" title=""><img src="http://gallery.casualgenius.com/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=727&amp;g2_serialNumber=2" width="225" height="300" id="IFid2" class="ImageFrame_none" alt="20012009066.jpg"/></a></div>
</div>
<p>I can safely say I WONT be doing that again.  I thought it was a bit painful when she put them on and it started sucking my skin up into the cup. The process of removing them was something completely different. Only thing I could liken it to is having a plaster the size of your palm ripped off, repeatedly.</p>
<p>If, however, you enjoy pain and are happy to pay a reasonable price to receive it then I believe this is perfect for you. <img src='http://casualgenius.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
