It's A New Experience
I have had massages in in 4 different countries while traveling and experience 6 + cultures way of massage. I can tell you with complete honesty, different cultures have their unique way of doing the exact same thing differentely. The most memorable thing I remember is when I was face down they used a certain scent to promote relaxation. They held it close to my nose I felt within seconds I was mentally relaxed. It took about 10-15 seconds, and I felt the calming. Enjoy the relaxation of your mind and body BEFORE the massage starts.
