London Trendies in Fish Foot Scandal

I have, there is an alligator farm on the west bank in Israel that is also the site of an original Roman baths and hot spring, you go from the hot pool to a fresh water pool where the fish nibble off the dead skin, it is actually very nice and leaves your skin feeling invigorated.

While concentrating the mind on making the correct decision as to which pool to stick your feet in.

The alligators are in a different section and it is not a foot pool, it is about 3.5 feet deep, you submerge yourself to the neck and let the fish get busy.

To the NECK?! :ohmy:

My mate had one of these fishy foot pedicures last month in Thailand, she said that she was enjoying it until she saw a dead fish at the bottom of the pool and a load of these pedicure fish tearing it fin from fin.

I've experienced this in Japanese onsen (hot spring resorts). It is indeed, as Catrike suggests, and contrary to User482's scepticism, very plesant indeed. However I don't think I would go especially to get it done as a treatment in some city spa. The point and the pleasure of Japanese onsen is in the surroundings and the overall experience, including great food and so, not in paying ridiculous amounts of money for some 'treatment' that Cosmopolitan has decided is 'in'.

FM - I think you'll find that Cosmopolitan's treatments are for women. There was no need for you to undergo "Hollywood Waxing." ;)
 
You mean you don't do the back, sack and crack? How wonderfully neanderthal of you, darling...

There's a parlour in Llangollen which performs this. Apparently, the screams can be heard half a mile away. :ohmy:

If you find it pleasant, I'm not trying to stop you. I would just prefer not to have to watch it.

Not had this one done before, though would not pay for it in London. I remember arriving home from China last year, I'd been having 'Cupping' done on my upper back, and the results were great. it cost nex to nothing per session, out there. In London however, it was around £60!

The one concern I would have about hving it done in a small tank, do they change the water regularly? The thought of submerging ones feet into a pool of dead skin is horrible...

That is a profound disappointment considering one of my few pleasures is having other people watch me getting nibbled by fish... :tongue:

Judging by my recent travels, that's exactly the case for quite a few people. :blush:
