Joined a tour group to the Stone Forest. I asked before I booked the tickets that we are only going to stop at two jewelry shops. We ended up spending half an hour each in two jade shops. Then after Stone Forest, which was one of the big world wonders, we stopped at a Chinese military folk medicine institution to get FREE foot massage - it turns out that the doctors would listen to our pulses and tell us what disease we have and would prescribe medicine that is proprietary and we could only get during this trip. My massager who is a military guy tells me I have vein disease because my legs are showing red and even black veins. I would need surgery in the future. But if I use their medicine to soak my feet for three months, then all the problems would go away. The president of their institution is so famous that many important people come to seek cure from him.
