Part-time Spa tester

That's what I'd like to answer when people will say to me in future interviews: "Where do you see yourself in 5 year's time?"!

Yesterday I was a part-time spa tester. Something to get used to over here, is that due to salary differences, you are the equivalent of a high roller in Vegas. Which gives you the opportunity to fulfil such vocations as spa testing. One has recently opened 5 minutes drive from the house, which in a grid-locked city is a major advantage. They say it is the only Balinese spa in Bangalore.

Lovely garden and entrance, with enormous Ganesh and Buddha statues. Unfortunately close to one of B'lore's major roads. But out here, the question is not if there is noise, but what noise there is (mosque, dogs, neighbours, trains etc etc)! Lots of large white and grey pebbles decorated the smooth inside floor. There was even a special 'princess room' with a large bath in the middle, if you want to spend the day there.

I opted for the comparatively more reasonable 'facial' which in fact consisted of 1 hour and 15 minutes of massage, including face, neck shoulders and even my back! And then, cos I was feeling really lazy, a wash and blow dry of my hair. Having two people dry your hair at the same time is fantastic, wish I could grow 2 more arms like an Indian god it would be so practical for this! I then floated out and waited for someone to turn up the requisite 30 minutes late at our house.

PS: Now that's good marketing: a Homer Simpson is painted next to a 17th century fertility giant in England. Creating a bit of scandal and lots of publicity for the new film. It's in biodegradeable paint, so the pagans are praying for rain! Taken from: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=468796&in_page_id=1770
