Dr. Fish in Daejeon...





On Wednesday the TCIS high school newspaper class (20 students plus me, LeeAnne, as the staff advisor) went on a little adventure to conduct some field research across town. After Brian's experience with Dr. Fish at the men's retreat, we decided one of the staff reporters should write an article about the whole phenomenon for the next issue of The Golden Dragon. Lo and behold, we found out a Dr. Fish pool had just opened in Daejeon. So on Wednesday at lunch the whole crew hopped on a bus to find out just what the Dr. Fish experience is like. We spent about 25 minutes with our feet in and out of the water, with students shrieking and laughing with wild abandon. The idea is that the fish eat the dead skin off your feet, which apparently is healthy and good for you. I could not get past how ticklish it felt when the fish were nibbling away, and could only force myself to keep my feet in the water for about 30 seconds at a time (laughing hysterically the whole time, of course!). It was a fun field trip, and I'm looking forward to the article that will be finished next week!
