Siem Reap again

No, we didn’t go back to Cambodia.  I just received a photo from Cambodia, though, from some very nice people we met in Siem Reap and I had to share it.

At the Siem Reap night market I saw a sign for “Fish Massage”.  I had visions of having my back pounded with a mackerel and I just could not resist.  It was not anything like that.  This pool of water is filled with little 2-inch-long fish who, apparently, love to feed on dead skin.  I washed my feet and then stuck them in the pool.  Since my feet are always very dry, they made a very tasty morsel for the fish.  Though there were 6 or 8 people sitting on the edge of the pool (all Westerners, of course) I had at least half the fish nibbling at my feet.  It tickled like crazy!  15 minutes for $3.  I wanted to go back again another evening but we never got the chance.
