SPA sounds like the number ‘18’（Eighteen）in Mandarin. It coincides with SPA concept - ‘Go SPA, keep you always SPA (18)’
Dear Friends,

Windy Yang, a Taiwanese travel writer, gourmet writer and Onsen/SPA Culture writer and promoter,also known as the ‘Spa Lady’, has spent her last 25 years traveling to hundreds hot springs (onsen) and spa resorts to discover and study about the healing tourism, the most promising industry of SPA! In spring 1999, Spa Lady Windy worked and lived in 4 Japanese top thermal spring resort hotels as waitress and Okami (lady owner) for two months. Japan newspapers as Asahi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun and local dailies widely reported Windy’s special experiences and called Windy "The Spa Ambassador from Taiwan". 從事旅遊、溫泉SPA寫作、國際觀光交流及國內外溫泉SPA演講等活動的旅行作家楊麗芳，別名Spa Lady。她在25年前首度拜訪日本北海道登別溫泉鄉以來，就開始跟溫泉談戀愛，並且走遍日本、韓國、泰國、紐西蘭及瑞士等500多座溫泉。為了她的溫泉愛人，還努力泡湯，學了一口「溫泉日語」。 1999年4月，她為了深入了解日本溫泉文化，特地到日本溫泉鄉從事溫泉旅館女中及女將的親身實習體驗。在實習兩個月後，對日本溫泉女將也就是旅館老闆娘，現身說法演講特殊女中女將的溫泉心得，獲得日本朝日新聞、讀賣新聞及新潟日報、群馬上毛新聞等報採訪報導。日本媒體稱她為「來自台灣的溫泉大使」或是「跟溫泉談戀愛的台灣旅行作家」。 Spa Lady認為，泡溫泉有媽媽的味道。泡湯時宛如在母親子宮裡溫泉孕育的胎兒一般，泡在溫暖的羊水中，被母親無微不至的照顧、呵護著，有回歸母體的溫馨美感。她喜歡獨自旅行，當渴望有個溫暖的懷抱時，溫泉彷彿是最忠實的保鑣，又像是最鍾情的戀人，緊緊地擁抱著寂寞的旅者，那種愛戀著溫泉的心情驅使她為溫泉SPA走天涯。
