Little Fish, Little Pond - Fish Therapy!!

I found another 1000 yen treat that involved animals this weekend. Only this time, there were no fluffy kitty cats to pet and play with, instead there were lots of tiny fish to eat my flesh!! Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. They actually nibbled and sucked on my feet removing dead skin.

Sounds gross, huh? It wasn't. It was fun!! It was a bit scary at first, but just ended up tickling in the end.

They're called doctor fish or "garra rufa" and apparently they were originally used in Turkish baths. It is said that they have to ability cure many skin diseases.

Can you tell we're faking it? I was a thespian in college and attained many great acting skills so maybe you can't.
