Each time I have visited Asia (Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, and now Vietnam), I get a hot shave every Monday morning.
Since the cost is pennies on the dollar, I also treat myself!
USD $5 for a hot shave with the same crew, too!
Each experience has been fantastic and well worth the money each time.
Most legit massage parlors are down an alley with someone advertising at the entrance.
Imagine a lifestyle where you can casually rack up hundreds of dollars’ worth of massages a week for literal pennies on the dollar.
A basic massage? $12.
Every day for a week? $84 total.
That’s the price of one massage back home in North America—before tip, taxes, and the awkward upsell.
Same hands. Same quality. Zero guilt.
At that point, it’s not indulgence… it’s just good math.
