If you get the chance in Korea I would highly recommend indulging in doctor fish. Doctor fish used to be very prominent in Korea but then one doctor had to go ruin it all and say how dangerous and unhealthy it was. So now doctor fish are a little hard to come across. I'm sure they were as easy to find as a Christian church or a Nori Bong (Karaoke singing booths)...well maybe not that easy. Anyways they have shut down in tons of places but the one I went to was in Seoul and still operational. I walked into the coffee shop on the second floor and asked for doctor fish. The place had a nice decor and the doctor fish looked like they were no where to be scene but alas I saw an area that looked like it might have tubs of water. They did and now I will tell you how it works. You pay two dollars and then dip your bare feet into a tub of water containing hundreds of fish eagerly awaiting your dirty feet. They eat off the dead skin on the bottom of your feet and it is one of the greatest experiences in Korea I have had so far. It tickles almost to much to bare at first but then you get used to it and you can sit back and just enjoy. There is a video below so I hope you enjoy.
Directions: Go to Gangnam station on the green line. Exit # 6....walk straight out and keep walking until you are directly opposite of the CGV movie theatre. The place is a coffee shop on the second floor and it has a green sign with a tree in it's logo
