Snoring loudly in Hanoi.
Stress out, sleeping like a log at the foot massage parlor.

If you go east on Pho Van Phuc❶, the road in front of the Japanese Embassy in Hanoi, you will intersect with Duong Lieu Giai❷.
Go across the intersection. On your left, you will see Hai San Pho restaurant, a luxury seafood restaurant.
When you walk on the right side of the road for a while, you will see the sign as shown in the photo.
The design expression is good. There are many massage salons in Japan, but this is the first time I saw a signboard with this kind of design.
Disigners in Viet Nam is so amzing.

Very unique.

When I walked in, a Vietnamese woman approached me over the counter with a smattering of Japanese.
She looks friendly and kind. There are Japanese customers as well as Vietnamese customers.
I walked up the stairs to the treatment room. There was absolutely no nasty smell in the store. It's a foot massage salon, so if it wasn't cleaned and deodorized properly, it would smell horrible.
What kind of odor elimination do they use, what kind of cleaning are they doing?

There's a big reclining chair, similar to the ones in first class on the old airplanes.
The room is dimly lit, and it's chilled to the bone. It was comfortable for me because I had come from outside where it was hot.
I put on the silk underwear provided and take off my clothes
They put a warm woven sack in the back of my waist and neck.
Perhaps there is grain in it.
The surface of the body is cooled by air conditioning, while the waist and neck are warm. It helps improve blood circulation.
She washes my feet. It smells like Chinese medicine. It's warm and feels good.
The massage starts from the soles of my feet.

I fell asleep in less than 10 minutes.
I woke up to the sound of a Vietnamese woman's voice.
I rise up and open my eyes to discover therapist ladies smiling at me. I guess she was saying in Vietnamese, "Sir, I'm finished.”
The ladies looked at each other and at me.
“Huh?” I don't feel bad about it.
This happened about three times.

When I returned to Japan, I told my friend proudly about the kind looks and gestures of ladies after the finishing massage.
After a while, my friend, who had been listening to the story, said, " I got it! And then he smiled.
"Snoring, it' s snoring. They' re surprised and astonished at how loud you snore."
Within 10 minutes of the massage, I fell asleep and was snoring happily.
Then, when I called out to them, my large body swiftly rose up.

“Sir, are you feeling so good that you slept so well? You' re like a child who is sleeping peacefully.” I finally understood what the massage ladies were trying to say.
I do believe that I am snoring when I sleep. I laughed out loud, satisfied with myself.

I liked that look and go there regularly.

The treatment is over and I go downstairs to the reception counter.
In the room, there is a notification casually displayed like the one in the illustration.

How we run our business
1. Customer is God
2. Work with all your heart and soul
3. Better service at a lower price
4. Listen to customers' opinions.
5. Customer satisfaction is our happiness.
In addition to Japanese, it is written in Vietnamese and English. I wondered if the owner was a Japanese. These stores must have a lot of troubles. They also have affiliated stores nearby.
I wondered what kind of education they had received and how they had been managed.
I wondered if that lack of business sense was due to the good nature of Vietnamese women.

After a while, they served tea. I drank it quickly, then said "Cam on" and left the store.
When I went outside, I felt the same heat as in Hanoi.

Only Japanese has been wroten well enough so that readers will be able to read.
But it seems that me at Ha Noi cannot become a god in any way.
