lol cos the other day, we took train all the way to boon lay to visit QIAN HU FISH FARM n he actually freaked out at the sight of the Garra rufa (so called Doctor fishes).

ya, we i went there with the objective of trying out the fish spa which is all the rage now, plus it's also MUCH cheaper there as compared to wat u get at more central locations. i must say it's pretty scary to c all the fishes CHARGING towards u, attacking ur feet. so tt faithful day i went home DISAPPOINTED cos i was too afraid to try alone n he was too afraid to try AT ALL.

so knowing my disappointment, n taking into acct my character, he "invited" his parents to visit it again so tt i had no way of backing out.

so here's my humble opinion.

DOCTOR FISH:

initially, it's really rather frightening when the fishes started coming over. however, aft awhile the feeling starts to settle n all it's left is a little bubbling feel. n then.... the BIG fishes started coming over n it became really SCARY cos they dun just nibble, it sorta feels like biting which reminds me of the leeches. n i got SUPER freaked out n started screaming like crazy to make the big fish go away. in the end, all the little fishes abandoned me for his dad.

n because he was squirming n biting me all the way, there really wasn't alot of fishes on him. anyway these fishes r said to b good for skin conditions such as ezcema (n i have ezcema) n they really seem to have a higher tendency to nibble on the irritated areas. n it could b psychological, but the area bitten seems to have healed as compared to other areas though skin on the balls of my feet din seem any softer.
