Ancient twist on spas.

Back to roughing it for the duration. Insect repellent and mozzie nets. A soggy rice paddy sits directly in front of this place. First impressions? Strikes me as a psuedo-spa albeit with a 5,ooo year history. This aryuvedic centre is owned and operated by a pip-squeak-sized doctor who studied the art and science of this ancient all-natural practice for 9 yrs. Has a staff of 200. According to Jules, a UK fan of this place who rode the car with me from the airport, the young attendants (typical spa worker types) earn a whopping 100 rupees a month (less than 2.50 cdn).
