Shopping Fish Reflexology in Singapore

SINGAPORE | Tuesday, 17 November 2009 | Views [401]

So last night we get to Singapore.  With in two mintues of being here a person realizes that they can totally live here or atleast that was my first impression!  What a great city everything so clean and nicely landscaped.  The city is truely put together nicely.  Since we arrived late we decided to check out the area our hostel is in, Little India.  Well let me tell you I have never seen so many brown guys in my life!  Stacey and I not only were the only while people around but the only two females we saw around.  I swear these guys look at you like they have never seen a woman before so since it was late we didnt hang out that long.  Today we woke up ready to take on the day once again.  We ended up going to Sentosa beach today.  SO beautiful, another reason to want to live in Singapore you have this great city and then you can go chill at the beach and were not talking your typical ugly beaches that are by the cities in Canada.  THis was a beautiful blue beach with tons of activities to keep a person busy. For example we passed by the pool you could practise surfing in cause it had this cord you grap on to and its like surfing or wake boarding without the boat!  Then there was the Underwater aquarium.  They had the most amazing huge huge fish.  My favourite of course was the sea turtle exhibit though.  THere were so many different kinds and I even fed them.  After that I went for the craziest thing ever I'm amazed I didnt chicken out, but I went for what they call here fish refexology.  So basically I go into this place put my feet into this pool looking thing and a ton and I mean a ton of these little fish come charging for my feet for their next meal.  Of course I was a big chicken and it took me like 5 mins to finally put my feet in.  It was funny cause the woman working there is like come on come on just do it and I'm like oooooooooh noooooooooooooo I'm scared all I could think of was omg if this was rhonda she would be freaking out lmao. Anyways the woman tells me hurry up your on the clock lol.  So finally I start with my heels now these fish love dead dry skin so you can imagine how much they loved my heels.  It was the creepies feeling its like you can literally feel their little teeth chewing on you like you would a corn on the cob.  They go back and forth back and forth and tickeled the shit out of my toes!  I cant wait to show pics!  After that It got finished up with a nice reflexology session. The woman didnt say two words to me (I dont think her english was so good).  So to entertain myself I laughed at the next chick who looked just as scared as me to put her fish in the water...actually she was worse so it was more funny!  After that it started to rain sooooooooooo bad but its still so warm.  So we went shopping.  Now let me tell you I have never wanted to spend more money in my life than I do in this place.  The malls are immaculately clean and have the coolest shit you will ever see.  Unfortunately the prices are the same if not more expensive than Canada and I have a budget to keep.  I did however buy some clothes which were more than I wanted to spend but they are amazing.  I even bought a jumper! hahaha never thought I would but this one looks soooooooo good.  Anyways I love this place love love love it.  All I keep thinking is how blessed I am to be experiencing all these amazing things.
