The RulesToday, Anna, Weston, Emma, Shane, and I took a spontaneous side trip to a Dr. Fish pedicure place. When I first got here, I saw pictures of this everywhere and I swore that I would NEVER do it. Ever. Ever. Ever. Well, never say never.
It cost "only" 4,000 Won (about $2.50) to stick my feet in a large "aquarium" of little fish so that they could eat the dead skin on my feet. It was a very unpleasant sensation. It started out tickling very intensely and then just transitioned to feeling kind of creepy. Then, I began thinking that the little nippers didn't just start their day on my feet and nor do they brush their teeth between servings. That pretty much did it in for me. Some say I'm crazy, but I think I can live with that.
I should point out that while I'm not the only one who doesn't like it, there are MANY, MANY people who do. Anna and the kids had a great time, in fact. So, I guess, don't rule it out if you think you can stomach it. What's funny about it is that it is a "luxury" treatment that is only offered a couple of places in the states for $45 to $150. Not a chance would I pay that much for it.
Jack is insisting that we go back so he can try it so I'm guessing I'll get to post some photos soon. Maybe Robert can take him!
