Olympics sideshow: Where to relieve sore muscles
Aug 17, 2008
Tourists in Beijing for the Olympic Games pay a visit to the city's blind masseurs to relieve tired muscles.
More than 110,000 blind masseurs are working in China's massage parlours. They say being blind is an advantage in their line of work, because senses such as touch and feel are heightened. The only problem they have is communicating with their non-Chinese clients. But, one Beijing massage parlour is addressing that issue by teaching their staff English.
