Happy Friday Hivers!
The Fish Spa under the old Balete tree is a famous tourist attraction in Siquijor. It is one of the most visited attractions under the jurisdiction of San Juan. Have you tried it? What it feels like?
Well, 2 days back I went to Siquijor together with my new friend. Part of our itinerary was the famous fish spa. I have already heard this well-known tourist spot from my colleagues few years back and I got no chance to visit Siquijor until 2 days back I finally went to Siquijor.
Our fifth stop was at the Old Balete Tree with Fish Spa. Although the weather that time was extremely hot but as we arrived at the Fish Spa, we felt better because it is cold under the old and big Balete tree.
There were few people at the fish spa as we arrived. There were foreign and local guests. We heard noise of gigglings from the guests while they soaked their feet in the pool.
Curiousity hits me so after I put my bag in the safe area I immediately immersed my feet in the water. Seconds after the fish started to bite my feet. I could not handle the tickling feeling, I laughed hardly that I caught the people's attention. They also laughed.
My friend told me that she also had felt the tickling feeling but she endured the feeling until she used to it after few minutes. Honestly, I tried what she said but I could not really endured the tickling feeling so I took my feet off from the water.
After I got up I realized that if the water is not flowing, the water in the pool might dirty. So I checked around. I found out that the water in the pool is flowing, it is come from the spring. So it is safe and clean.
My friend said that if the person is sad maybe having foot spa is a good idea because you can really laugh uncontrollably. I also added maybe this place is perfect for the people who have suffered depression.
I enjoyed looking at this little boy who have tried to immerse his feet in the pool. He immediately took off his feet from the water. Maybe he couldn't also tolerate the tickling feeling same as me.😂😂 Look at his precious reaction, he is adorable.
My friend stayed longer at the fish spa. She enjoyed it.
According to the article that I had read, Fish Spa is a great stress buster as the nibbling makes us laugh and giggle all the time.
So now you know where to head if you're depress.
