My mother worked in the massage industry her entire life. Both want a foot massage. AdvertisementIm Chinese. Who wonders how they feel cleaning a strangers feet? People assumed that day spas, night spas, nail salons and massage parlors were all the same: If they were affordable and filled with Chinese women, they were regarded as problematic.AdvertisementMy mother recently said, in Mandarin, that she wanted to close her spa earlier at night because America feels unsafe. Her language seemed to suggest mixed feelings in the country she calls her second home  a longing to describe so many emotions without knowing how.
My mother spas at night.  In California.
