This afternoon I met up with Loren and Megan in Gangnam to go to Dr. Fish. Loren and I were planning on going to Dr. Fish a few weeks back but couldn't find it in Sinchon. We lucked out today and found it and it was an experience. First of all, it's a cafe where you go and order drinks, chill and do what people do in a cafe. However, there are two shallow baths with fish swimming in them. We chose the tank with the big fish. Once you rinse your feet you put them into the baths along with hundreds of fish waiting to eat the bottoms of your feet. I guess they are a special kind of fish who apparently help people in Turkey with psorisis. Anyway, you leave your feet in the baths for about 20 minutes while fish constantly nibble. It's not really a ticklish experience, but rather the feeling of fine sandpaper lightly rubbing your feet. Here is a video I took of the fish and the cafe. It's not very good, but it's an idea of how Dr. Fish works.
After the fish nibbling, we went to Dos Tacos for some Mexican food and margaritas. I had a rather tasty chicken burrito. We sat outside and despite the constant haze over the city the past few days, it was a pretty nice day. After dinner we went shopping at Artbox where I got some new stationary and a 2009 calendar with the Korean holidays written in English. Then went to a board game cafe. We played Simpsons Clue and had a great time trying to remember the rules of Clue. Loren won the first time and Megan the last. I'm not a very good Clue player, but it was fun.
