I just LOVE massages!! I had my first massage last year in China, and boy was it good! Thai-massage and Chinese massage. Although the Thai-massage was a bit rough, I enjoyed every second of it (Maybe because the girl was a cute one ?)

I'm thinking of going to get a massage in Finland too, depends if my girlfriend wants to go

About the benefits: I feel much more relaxed afterwards, and my muscles don't feel so tense anymore. When my gf massaged my neck a few weeks ago, she did it too hard and the day after my neck felt really painful.
