Serendipity Beach massage: Mother massages my hands while daughter massages my feet. I don’t care if it’s girlie, it feels good and the US$ go to locals who get off their bums and work very hard every day to supplement the family income. The daughter has completed her expensive high school education, which the mother paid for with beach massages. The beach masseuses and trinket/anklet/wristband vendors seem overdressed in long sleeve cardigans and pants. They told me it’s to preserve their “white skin” because they don’t want to be suntanned. It’s the opposite to why most female tourists are lounging on the sun drenched beach…
