lady boy massage?

hey there! kristine here writing from a local coffee shop that is very similar to starbucks. have my hazelnut "frap" and listening to the Norah Jones they have playing. totally in my element and loving every minute. this place is the one spot that feels like america... it's surreal. matt is getting a half hour massage on his back... well trying to. we have tried twice before to get a massage on just his back but have yet to succeed! lol we try to explain, they shake their heads and say yes, yes, yes, and then start massaging his feet!! it's hilarious. so we had a third attempt yesterday which was probably one of the funniest moments we have had here in thailand. we walk in to the massage place and ask if we can have a massage just on his back and how much it would be. two ladies walk over to us and one answers us in a very deep masculine voice!! matty did so good keeping a straight face, but i'm sure mine told all. it was like i was in shock and couldn't move. matt was still trying to figure out if the lady was going to be the one giving the massage or if the 'lady boy' was going to do it.(a lady boy is a common site here and is a transvestite) well it didn't take long and when the man lady came over and put 'her' hand on matt's back he was like, "i'm outta here!" i was dying. i knew what he was thinking and we were out of there so fast. while cracking up i asked him, "What, you didn't want a massage?" he was like "HECK no!" amazingly his back didn't even hurt anymore...as a matter of fact, he said it had never felt better! LOL :)
