Day 46-50 in Mt. Isa, Australia

    I've arrived Mt. Isa for 6 days and lived with 6 new roommates: Joyce and her Korean boyfriend - Roy, Shi-Yang who is from Heilongjiang, Jang Liu from Guangxi, Mia who is a standard Libra girl and Ivy from HK. Mt. Isa is a small mining town with 20,000 people and many aboriginals. Some of aborigines like to drink and effect other resident so there are more than 200 policemen. Once we had BBQ in share house's courtyard and some of Roy's friends came to visit. There were an aborigine wanted to ask some free cigarettes and beers. Jang wanted to beat him but Roy dragged him and called police. I cannot remember too much details because I had already been drunk and embraced the the toilet.

    In fact, Mt. Isa is a beautiful town. Here is a desert climate in the winter now and has a good weather everyday. The only one problem is a large temperature difference between day and night. I got sick and felt very uncomfortable in these days. Massage need to apply a comfortable and quiet environment so there is air conditioning whole day around me. I've already eaten some medicine. Hope it works!

    There are many eagles and different unnamed birds around Mt. Isa. I can see awesome sunshine in the morning and sunset after work. There is also amazing starry sky and milky way when I'm home. I think is really beautiful place for living. If we forget the summer and air and water pollution. Jang told me there is a observation deck near our home. I'll take some pictures for you in my next vocation.

    Massage skill is really hard study. A good masseur need to have human body knowledge, massage techniques, acupuncture points, eastern and western medical base, disease learn and exercise physics. I've studied and implemented for some base massage tips. I need to feel how to use my arm to relax customers' muscle and make my tempo and power slow in and out. Cheers, Stephen.
