Now here's a guerrilla stunt I'd like to participate in! This image shows 2,016 feet getting massaged! This stunt, featuring 1,008 reflexologists and 1,008 volunteer feet, took place July 1 in Taiwan, setting the new Guinness world record for most foot massages in one place at the time.
It was actually a publicity stunt organized by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau to encourage the health benefits of Reflexology that visitors can enjoy while in the country.
I was lucky enough to get a few foot massages in Beijing, but I can assure you, it was nothing like this! While I prefer the private rooms we went into, this stunt would have been fun to join in on!
