Bamboo massage
What is bamboo massage means?
The very street.
I have heard about bamboo massage for the first time from one of our acquaintance from Denmark named John. We were talking about the Indians in terms of their attitudes towards foreigners. And so we gradually came to the story that John observed himself in the busiest street of Calangute.That is his exact words: I was at one of the haberdashery shop when I heard increasing shouts from a distance It was cries of the crowd quickly approaching in my direction. All eyes of buyers and sellers immediately turned toward the approaching horde of screaming Indians.A tourist looks like a bodybuilder was running ahead of crowd with a decent speed. He had an impressive size and was about 190cm tall. The man was already badly battered. There were bruises on the elbows and knees plus black eye on his face. The crowd of local inhabitants rushed approximately 2-3 meters behind him with bamboo and reed sticks in their hands.

The work is going well when foreigners around. The dual benefits of sugar cane: you can drink and you can punch.
When the whole procession flew past me I asked one of the stragglers from the main cohort : Man, what `s happening? He explained the following: the guy we are chasing an American. He came into conflict with cane juice seller whose cart was in the square with a roundabout.It is difficult to say whether it was a coincidence or not but it all started with a banal short change that American was short of . American in turn offended the local guy emphasizing his race. Some sellers heard it and they started a mutual altercation. As a result American hit one of the local and at this moment the bamboo massage started. Well the subtotal of the fight described above because the ending is unknown whether it was possible to escape American or not. History is silent on this matter. That is the essence of the bamboo massage. And I want to note that the main mistake of American in my opinion was that he hit a puny little Hindu. And he did it in the presence of other merchants perhaps hoping to intimidate them with his size.The fact that the eastern mentality in particular the Hindu in contrast to European suppose the cohesion of the groups in the face of danger at the level of the collective unconscious. Thus the American came to set-to not with one puny Hindu and with all local on the square.
How does that old saying go? "One twig easy to break but a hundred ..."
