My Life Would SUCK Without You

Next two words for ya...

Fish. Spa.

Let me explain.

Noah, one of the kids from BYU lives with a family here. One of the brothers is a Japanese teacher. Noah speaks Japanese from his mission. Noah met college students from his host brothers class. Then on Friday we hung out with them. You follow?

Anyway.

They really wanted to go to a fish spa. Before coming to Thailand I would have looked at them like they were crazy. Fish spa? No such thing. Well I would have been very wrong.

There is such a thing as sticking your feet in a tank of skin sucking fish. Weird? Yep. Awesome? Even more yep.

So always being in the mood for an adventure, it was not hard to sell me.

I feel like pictures can explain this way better than I can.

First, meet Gum, Meile, and Pe pe. Easily the nicest people ever. They were a great introduction into Thai college life.

Next meet the hundreds of fish that sucked my skin off. (I'm gonna lick your skin off....I wish you wouldn't. Name that movie).

Weird though right??

You just stick your feet in and attempt to leave them it. It seriously tickles so bad. Noah was a little wimpy to begin with but you sort of get used to it. It's just one of those feelings you can't explain I guess.

And sometimes it hurts... obviously.

Then you can stand up so the water goes all the way to your knees. So they proceeded to move their sucking up your leg...


And there you have it. My first fish spa experience. It tickled and hurt and felt good and weird all at the same time. It was really fun just to hang out with everyone though. Like i've said before, Thai people are so incredibly nice. It's fun to have some friends here! Friends that will take me to places where things will eat my skin... wonder what is next on the agenda.... things in hair eating monkeys?
