Fishy Wishy



Have you ever had fish kissing your feet? I have!


I went to a hot spring with my family in Taiwan. There were six pools with different temperatures. My favourite pool was the fish pool. Second was the cold pool. Last, but not least, was the hot pool.


These tiny fish don't actually 'kiss' your feet. They eat the dead skin off your feet. It is so itchy when they bite you that they can make you laugh. When we finished, our feet were very smooth.


What an experience that was!

Doesn't that hurt when the fish eat the dead skin of your feet? I'm sure that must be an interesting experience.
I once read the newspaper reporting a man who got a strange disease with his foot. The doctors in the hospital found no way to cure and suggested he try using maggots to eat the bad tissues off his foot. Finally the man got cured by the maggots - but that's too disgusting. I don't think I'd have the courage to try this special kind of therapy.

It problably would feel awkward to have fish nibbling off my dead skin. Even though the experiment could be very interesting and knowledgeable for science, it wouldn't be my best kind of experience.
