Just last weekend some friends from church invited us to join them to go see "Doctor Fish" after church. I was incredibly skeptical as soon as I heard what "Doctor Fish" is - but, why not give it a try!
So, here it is. "Doctor Fish" sits on the 8th floor of a building in Sinchon (a busy area of Seoul). When you walk in, you take off your shoes (typical Asian custom) and step up on an elevated wooden floor. In the middle of "Doctor Fish" you find kind of a wading pool, full of little fish. Our friends had beat us there, so when we walked in they were all sitting around the pool, enjoying the fish. You can get a package deal that includes a drink (coffee, smoothie, etc), dessert, fish, and aromatherapy.
Are you getting the picture? You sit down alongside this wading pool and put your feet IN for the fish to enjoy! They surround your feet and nibble to their little heart's content! You can take a break to enjoy a snack and then go for Round 2! Afterwards, you sit at a row of wooden sinks built into the floor along the windows and enjoy an aromatherapy foot bath to complete the experience!
I must say, the first 10 minutes my feet were in the water I could not seem to unclinch my toes! It doesn't hurt, but it sure feels funny to have fish nibbling, supposedly enjoying all the dead skin off your feet!
So, anyone want to come to Seoul and enjoy "Doctor Fish" with us? It'll be our treat! :)

You had to know that this post would get responses from all of your readers. Busy or not, we are all blown away by this one. I only wish I was there to "enjoy" with you. Take care, Mark
Good one. I think it sounds like a great adventure. Mike would hate it though because he is so ticklish of everything.
