My last day in Shenzhen was quite memorable. Five of us went to Queen’s spa, a four storey relaxation and entertainment comples. We spent some time hanging out and playing poker (wagers, no money) and eating in the lounge. Fruit and fruit juices are free; meals can be purchased. Before my friends joined me, I also had a chance to enjoy the Lazy boy like chairs with personal television screens attached. I’m not sure if there are any English channels; I read my book instead.
The highlight of my visit was my 2 hour hot stone therapy massage. I fell asleep, that’s how relaxing it was. I also had a facial, manicure, pedicure and body scrub. It was a bit of a splurge, but much cheaper than in North America. But get this, you don’t even have to leave the spa for the night. It’s open 24 hours and you can sleep there! Granted, the “beds” are not for the claustrophobic as they are like crypts (with lights granted). You cannot stand upright in the pod but crawl in to go to bed. Wake up call is available.
I was woken up by an unpleasant dream. I had missed my flight from Hong Kong to Khartoum …
