Me and sis decided to have a chilling!!! saturday and like everybody else wanted to try something that was trendy(!)
We headed out last Saturday to a Fish Spa that everyone is raving abt these days and decided to spend the afternoon lazily, with some exotic fish nibbling at your feet. We reached there and a very attentive and courteous lady asked to wash and apply our feet with ‘some’ enzyme that ensures the fish come to you…..what she actually did was swarm me with the funny smelling enzyme…..prior to the actual experience I’d seen pictures of beautiful feet immersed in water and 2/3 exotic looking fish gnawing at the feet….@ Kenko I took one look into the tank I was supposed to immerse my feet in and gasped! It was full of tiny, grey fish that were almost 500-700 in number. My sis bravely immersed her feet and they came to her….and stuck to her feet….she wiggled for 5-10 mins and settled down…Me?? I was scared to death to put it down…I managed to get my heels into the water and they came at me too…I immediately pulled back…I did this hide-n-seek with them for almost 15 mins when they got really bored of my antics and just stuck to my more reliable sis. She, on her part glared at me for I was supposed to share the numbers whereas she was stuck with all of them, cause I was too scared to let the heels touch the water, let alone immerse my feet upto my knees L
Post numerous prayers from me and sis, I did manage to immerse it just once and they came at me….in swarming numbers…the enzyme (their food) from my sis had worn off by then and they realized that I was more fertile ground (!)
While I lasted with my feet in the tank for a max of 5 mins…I realized that it was quite a nice feeling provided I didn’t have to look at them nibbling at my feet….their sheer number at my feet was enough to make me run away a mile J the fish actually nibble at you and if your response to stimuli is strong….you can actually feel their tiny mouths going open-n-shut…and I had one amazing moment in all the wiggles….i had nails on my toes and they’d go below them and nibble….that was something that no pedicure can give you and I had a heaven of a time (!)
Inspite of all the hiccups..I’d seriously suggest that you try it once…I tried it @ Kenko Reflexology & Fish Spa….Lavelle Road, Bangalore….for Bounce regulars….its on the ground floor…below Bounce Salon….and opposite Lavelle Coffee day….its fun…neat and spic n span…it also looks like a nice place for a massage…will try it once…& keep u all posted J
