Thanks for sharing this odd job in India. Ear cleaners seem like they may service travelers just as much as locals, and for different prices, most likely.

Wow, that is a new one. I think I would do it just out of curiosity, but I would definitely wait, watch, and pick one who I’d seen clean some ears to make sure no one left bloody!

In reply to debbie ann. @Debbie Ann: Interesting. Haven't heard of inoreader, but I take it's working well. Wow, that's crazy about the roadside pedicures. I take it your guide didn't recommend that. ;-) Whatever tour you're on, I want to be on it~ seems like you're seeing/experiencing some neat stuff.

In reply to Christine Ka'aloa. not sure if I got your newsletter, but instead of google reader I've been using inoreader and your posts are showing up on there. I think I wouldn't have been brave enough without a personal recommendation. In Uganda we saw roadside pedicures, and lots of men getting their toenails cut.

In reply to debbie ann. @Debbie ann: First, apologies if you got my newsletter, when I said I was going monthly. Still working out the bugs of switching it over. Second, damn, I bow down to your traveler bravery! Also, looove how that man is in a suit, has that flashlight taped on & you look like you're being tickled. Thanks for sharing! That's right, I forgot China had them too.

I tried it in Chengdu – it felt so good. I was only brave enough because we were on a tour w Fuchsia Dunlop and she said it was ok and I trust her. And she was right – it was fine.
