Hi there,

Came across your blog while looking for news about the earthquake today in Manila – as my boo is currently working permanently in Makati. He felt it while about to sleep, but soon after he forgot about it totally!

About the Fish Theraphy, I recently also gave it a try at Pavillion in KL, Malaysia – and was told that treatment could only be 30 mins each time.

Verdict – I screams and yelled for 15 mins, soon after discovering adult fishes were not friendly and baby fishes were much better, I spend only 15 mins on the theraphy. Haha..

Noems, I don’t know… I don’t think I would immerse my whole body with Dr. Fish. I’m not THAT brave. Maybe I’ll look at the video later on when I don’t feel so squeamish.

On another note, there are many people who read your blog, courtesy of your publicist sister’s encouragement. They’ve emailed me to let me know how much they enjoy reading your blog.

love,

Lorna

@freakedoutGirl- if you checked the photo gallery, there’s a part where we sanitize our feet before we submerge our feet inside the tub. Also, open wounds on feet are not allowed. Water is not stagnant as a fresh supply of water is filtered into the tub all the time. After we’re done, they wash off our feet again. There are a lot of hungry fishes in that tub to eat all the dead skin floating around. One cannot get warts in water. It needs direct contact via towel,etc.

I don’t know, that looks quite gross actually. Not so much the fish-eating-your-flesh part, but the fact that everyone submerges their feet in the same tub. I’m assuming they don’t change the water after every customer since that would be too traumatizing for the fish. And even if they have filters, etc., it’s still gross. I mean, other people’s nasty, dead, scaly, scabby skin cells are floating in that water. Their website even shows people with WARTS. You know you CAN get that from public showers like in gyms, let alone, in a tub of water?

It looked like a fun novel experience!
These fish must be somewhat related to the janitor fish that clean up fish tanks.
