Fish doctors - nibbling away

So this is really weird for me... really weird.


After walking around Phnom Penh the whole day, visiting the Royal Palace, Phnom Wat, FCC Phnom Penh etc... we finally end up in the Phnom Penh night market. It was a warm day ~31 degree celcius - so I was sweaty throughout and my feet was soaked in perspiration and dirt. These fishes are like combfishes - they only consume the affected and dead areas of the skin, leaving the healthy skin to grow, with the outdoor location of the treatment bringing beneficial effects.


The reason why I said this is weird for me is because (1) my feet were so dirty that I would definitely not share it with anyone else in a foot bath; (2) the opposite is also true... I don't think I would like to share a foot bath with people I do not know who could possibly have dirty feet!; (3) what's worse... feeding my stinky feet to the fish - plain disgusting!


Having said that... seems like others aren't really bothered, they probably even enjoyed it! It's a big world out there - who am I to judge.
