So Siqijour is known as an island of "healing" so of course we had to visit a healer while we were there right? We rode our motorcycles up this small mountain to the very end of the road to this old ladies house. We walk back to the old woman's house and waited our turn for being "healed" behind some locals. This old woman (almost 90!) puts water in a glass cup with a black rock and starts blowing bubbles in the water with a straw. At the same time saying all sorts of things in her local dialect. She could have been cursing me out for all I know. Suddenly the water in the cup starts to turn brown and has big chunks of gunk. This is the "bad stuff" she is pulling out of you. She does this three times, until the water is clear.
If you ask me, she's chewing tobacco or something and spitting it into the cup - but what do I know! It was a cool experience.
