I went to a fish spa!

Do you know what a fish spa is? Well, I didn't until recently. It's a place where you sit with your feet in a fish tank and have Doctor fish nibble at your feet and legs removing all the dead skin! They're very popular in Singapore at the moment - a bit of a fad, I think. I thought it was pretty stupid, until my friend Sylvie suggested we try it.... Ohh, why not I thought and so off we went.

The little fish tank.

We had our legs sprayed with a vinegar like substance to start before entering the room. There were 3 tanks, one with little Doctor fish, a tank with bigger Doctor fish, and one with BIG fish. We had 30 minutes to try them all, so we naturally started with the small fish. As soon as you put your feet into the tank, the fish swarm around you and start nibbling straight away. It's a sensation between a light tickle and a light vibration. The two of us couldn't stop laughing - luckily we were the only people there.

The bigger fish tank

After 10 mins, we migrated to the bigger fish and got a good giggle out of the stronger vibration sensation they made. And then the larger fish - it was akin to someone rubbing a scrub on your feet and legs.... wierd. I must admit it works - my feet are very smooth.

The BIG fish tank

It was all good fun - and I'm going to take Zoe and Craig there, just for the fun of it.
