He said we should wait until it got "almost too hot"

I got an amazing massage today that involved pressure on various parts of my face, fingers in my ears, totally legit rubbing near my swimsuit area, cupping (glass globes suctioned to various parts of my feet), and then finally lighting my kneecaps on fire.

Chinese, literally

足 = zhú = foot 
球 = qiú = ball
                足 + 球 = zhúqiú = football (as in the Euro kind, aka soccer)

橄榄 = gănlăn = olive
球 = qiú = ball 
               橄榄 + 球 = gănlănqiú = football (as in the American kind, where the ball looks like, well, you know)
