Fish Therapy

Mbak Ucik and I decided to try "fish therapy" or "terapi ikan" today. This involves Garra Rufa fish, a form of carp that enjoy eating away at the dead skin on your feet. Nature's best pedicure. We planned on doing it for 30 minutes but after my initial freak out as hundreds of tiny fish began feasting on my feet, I started enjoying it. We also had a great Indonesian conversation--I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the cultural differences we aren't taught in the classroom... We ended up staying for an hour.

And yes, my feet are now incredibly smooth.
