Heel me

By Nikki Aaron on Mar 23, 08 10:51 AM in Travel

When your boyfriend is a very busy Chinese businessman, you will find that very often your dates will be cancelled, and sometimes you wont see him for a few days when he has to attend business trips. My mum calls this suspicious, but i'm sure she wishes my Dad would take more business trips. However, I don't moan, because this kind of lifestyle suits me perfectly. I can't be bothered with all that living in each other's pockets malarky, and I don't like a guy to be too available, if that makes sense? It makes me like him more if he has an overly-active work and social life, because it shows that I must be important enough to him for him to want to fit me into his already chockablock schedule. I'm not talking myself up much here, am I..? Don't get me wrong, I love him dearly, but he's got his things going on, and I have mine. Anyway. I'm rambling. Last week was one of those particularly busy weeks for him, which meant that I was cancelled on in favour of business meetings three times in a row, so I didn't see him for three days. However, all was forgiven when Thursday (my only day off) came around and he introduced me to a place that, up until now, I had only dare dream really existed. This place is called the Top Yangyuantang Club, which obviously means nothing to you, but to me sounds like "take the day off", or "drinks are on the house", or some other great sentence that you rarely hear.

This is a place where you pay for your own private cinema screen, choose your own films to watch, and then sit back in your luxury easy-chair while people tend to your every whim and, here's the best bit, massage your feet. Oooh yeah. You may think that this is just a very extravagant way to be extremely lazy, but can you think of anything better than unwinding after a stressful week by watching your favourite movie, while selecting delicious dishes and drinks from the menu (the food is all free once you're in), while someone rubs your aching feet? They also massage your back and shoulders, if you ask, and they will clean your ears, which is one thing I actually do prefer to do myself. So you see, I have found my haven. I spent 5 hours in there that day. Don't judge me, i'm just a sucker for having my feet touched. *Red face*
