A whole group of us went to a Malaysian foot spa. The thing that makes this type of spa different than most spas is how they clean the dead skin from your feet – with fish. We all opted for the fish treatment. There was a lovely rectangular tank with benches as the edges. Two at a time, we put our feet into the water and the fish ate the dead skin from our feet. You don’t really feel it as nibbles – or even what I would expect fish to feel like. Mostly it felt like bubbles. The image I had in my head was sticking my feet into the bubbliest champagne. For the first 30 seconds it tickled like crazy and I’m sure I had a silly scrunchy face. After that I got used to it and felt odd, but not bad. For 15 minutes my feet were softened by fish (one person didn’t quite last the whole time). After that I opted for half an hour of reflexology. And all of this was for about $18.
Nice! I think is sounds like fun with the fish, but I’m not sure I would last 15 minutes!
