Fish Day Spa
OK…….Just to put this in context, I have seen more totally weird shit in Singapore in the last two weeks, than I did living in Shanghai for 8 months. Maybe it’s a different kind of weird, maybe 8 months in China totally de-sensitized me to the “little differences” that would be as obvious as a smack in the face with a wet newspaper to a total China newbie, but here in OneGoodEye, I bring you a new kind of strange.
Fish Day Spa
What is Fish Day Spa, I hear you ask? Well for $SGD 28, you submerge your legs in a communal tank filled to bursting with Doctor Fish (Garra Ruffa) that attach to your body like Remoras, cleansing you of dead skin cells and unwanted toe jam, leaving your legs glowing with youthful beauty and your mind wondering where and when you will develop your next fungal infection.

Not my feet….lifted from this informative Wikipedia article
Awww c’mon! Don’t you think the cute little fish can substitute for a pumice stone? And no effort required!
It was actually pretty cool……..very ticklish at first, especially when we moved up to the tank containing the bigger fish……..but definately worth it…….I will probably go back!!
Pumice stone??? I thought only OLD people used those.
So – at this spa do you eventually end up in the piranha tank? That way you can get rid of ALL unwanted skin problems.
Now Kirk I put in a comment to your post on Kickapoo joy juice (including references to the origin) – but it never appeared…. am I being sensored?
Here is my cousin actually trying this treatment
