Yesterday, I went out for lunch with my family, which included three aunts, my cousin, my uncle, my mother and my grandparents. After lunch, we walked around the mall, under the sage instruction of my grandmother, because you're supposed to give your body thirty minutes of walking time for your food to digest.
And so we're walking, walking, walking... there was a bookstore, one of my many Heavens, so I told them I'd be going in there, and I'll meet up with them later.
An hour later, I walked out of the bookstore, only to find my grandmother sitting in a massage chair, with my aunt standing beside her, and a saleswoman in a business suit talking to them.
In Hong Kong, it's not uncommon to see promotional campaigns in shopping malls, and this one in particular was by OSIM, the world-renowned full body massage chair producer. My grandmother ended up buying this weird thing called an OSIM uCrown:
What it does basically, is shake your head, to relieve stress.
...It vibrates your head. I can't conceive of anything else that would give me a bigger headache. It looks like a horrible product, marketed toward tricking old people with headaches all the time, and young peeps loaded with not a lot of money but enough money to afford and have an eye for stupid toys like this one.
Perhaps I should try it first before criticizing it...
