Paging Dr. Fish......

It has been over a year since I have been wanting to meet Dr. Fish and have him nibble on my toes.  A couple of days ago while shopping with the in-laws in Osan we ran across Dr. Fish, so I KNEW we had to go inside to meet him, or them, and here they are a whole little tank full of Dr. Fish.....

Doctor fish eat the dead skin off your feet and lower legs, originally they were used in patients with psoriasis, removing the dead skin so new healthy skin could grow.  Over time doctor fish have become a popular spa treatment in Japan, South Korea, China, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the list goes on. I couldn't wait to plunge my toes into this tank of fish!  As soon as I did, a swarm of little fish came to meet me. HOLY COW, these little guys TICKLE!!!!  I have never in my life experienced a tickle like this tickle!  As soon as Hubby put his feet in the tank he started laughing like a little school girl, and he wasn't the only one as you can see in the pictures below!  How fun is this?!

 This is something EVERYONE MUST experience!  Oh my goodness it was great!  The laughter was contagious. I can only imagine what the salon sounded like after Twin & SIL joined us.  I am very thankful we were the only people in the entire place!  Once Twin joined it, the pressure was off of us because all the doctor fish swam over to him and started feasting!  Twin must have LOADS of dead skin on his feet and legs because they LOVED him!

I must admit, this treatment was a little 'fear factorish', Boy2 and Boy Cousin were both a little freaked out and could not put their feet in...they kept trying, but just could not do it.

We offered the boys 10,000 won to put their feet in for 10 seconds, so finally just as everyone was getting out,  and the offer of 10,000 won was about to be taken off the table, Boy 2 did it, he put ONE foot in and keep it there for 10 seconds (while giggling like a little school girl)!

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
