Travelling without attempting to experience what different cultures have to offer is such a waste.
There are places you can go in Korea where you sit on the edge of a pool of water and hundreds of little fish will come along and glom onto your feet. They will proceed to suck all of the dead skin off of them, leaving them smooth and soft as a babies bum, which would be pretty soft...barring rashes and so on. I wanted so badly to try this out, and after begging and pleading, one of the Korean teaching partners finally emitted a high pitched, warbled, multi-syllabled whining noise with an 'ok' attached to it and found me an address. Two of my co-workers decide to join.
This place was a mere two subway stops away, which was wonderful. We walk in and take a jammed up elevator ride up to the 9th floor. I went to the desk and paid 7000 won ($6.50 or so) and found it strange that the woman behind the counter gave me a pair of shorts, a shirt, a towel and a key. I followed Cat and Nicole, who seemed to know where they were going, into a locker area where they started to undress.
"What are you guys doing?"
"We're at a Jimjilbang. If you think I'm just going to do the foot thing you're nuts" said Nicole.
"A what?"
"A bath house" Cat says, like it's painfully obvious.
I'm pretty sure this is where I instantly broke out in hives.
At this point I must share with you that I am NOT okay with random nudity. For other people sure and I wish I had a comfort level with it, but I don't. I have always been the girl/woman who changes in the bathroom. Always. This isn't to say that I feel I have an overly poor self-image. I don't. I've just always been conservative like that...and when I am forced into being naked, for yearly checkups and that sort of thing, I always invariably use really lame humour as a defense mechanism - sometimes I dare say it gets in the way of my awesomeness. Flashback:
Doctor: Okaaay...there's your labia...
Me: There's an African country in my vagina?
Doctor: *glancing up* ...
Me: Sorry...it was a joke...I was trying to say that, you know HOW'D THAT GET THERE...an African
country...heh heh heh in ...you know...kidding like, that there was an African cou...because labia sounds sort of like Liby...nevermind.
This is what happens to me when I'm naked, and it's not okay. I also have a staring problem in general.
"Stop thinking and lets go" Nicole blurted.
And this is how a pasty, 5'10" foreigner (wei-gook) with clown feet ended up in a bath house. I looked at the 'towel' I've been given.
"I don't know...this is pretty small" I said, preoccupied by trying to fashion it into some sort of anything that will conceal me and failing miserably.
"It's for your head Ducky".
"...oh..."
They shook their heads and walked towards two frosted glass doors. I followed, trying to be inconspicuous, but ultimately looked more like Jim Belushi did while running across the lawn in Animal House. We walked through the doors and were in a space filled with upwards of 200 little naked Korean women. I'm all about ducking out of my comfort zone, but this was a stretch for me.
As I slowly lumbered my way in I saw that there were about 20 pools of water, all of which were different temperatures as evidenced by the large digital displays above each. There was a waterfall and the walls were encrusted with semi-precious stones. It was insane. Some of the pools were even scented with essential oils. Paradise right? I was having trouble enjoying it at first. It didn't seem to matter where I moved - these women were staring at me. I was having an internal panic-attack but feigned confidence and just walked around and did my thing. Nicole and Cat had been to various Jimjilbangs, and this was nothing new for them. They clearly found my discomfort amusing though.
"Hey Duck, is that a big pimple on your ass?" Cat called out.
"What?!" *craning head around*
*Laughter*
"Ooooooooooh...I see what you did just there...with the...yeah...YOU'RE SO FUNNY....Cat, with your...you mean
bitch".
*More laughter* "We love you Duck".
Uh-huh.
I sat in one pool, closed my eyes to combat the staring problem, and after pretending for what felt like forever that the woman next to me wasn't burrowing her eyes into my skull, I turned to her and smiled. She smiled back.
"What are you doing here" she asked?
"Um...I'm here with some friends of mine...is there a problem?"
"No no no no, no problem" she said, "it's just that white women never come here".
I smile.
"I think they are afraid", she whispered.
"Well that's just silly" I say, and suddenly that's how I felt.
Learning experiences right? Here is a picture of part of Seoul that I took from N'Seoul Tower.

I think the only reasonable way to deal with someone touching/investigating/scraping your insides is to make them feel as uncomfortable as you do. And yes, bad awful jokes are a short ticket there.

This has happened to me while lolling in the wild and scenic river where I live. I was in shallow water nude and the fishes did NOT limit themselves to my feet.

Oh LM, you know just what to say to pick up my spirits!
Please do! But I wanna watch.

It will be a pleasure sweetie. Now listen to me. You have to look horrible people like that in the eye and smile because both you and I know you are making efforts and lifestyle changes to ensure your health for you and your wifes future together. This isn't easy for anyone and it takes time. You're a big guy in more ways than one Sgt. Don't forget that and don't ever let someone like that make you feel small.
My ninja skills work best at night, but I'm also mighty quick, if ever you see her jerk or twitch in great discomfort around the neck area.....that was me, working at the speed of light and if she ever pulls that face at you (you know the one - the one she pulls if anyone ever tells her to lighten the fuck up), that's me with my foot up her arse.
==================
A true sweetheart. You're too nice.
Im gonna text my friend and ask him to let me know if his wife starts having neck problems, then I will know you are doing your work, you stealthy lass you! At the wedding I'll keep my eye out for that "foot in ass" grimace on her face. When I see it I can promise you I will be laughing out loud.

That may be true (sucks to be your friend), but that doesn't change the fact that carrying all that extra weight around is really hard on your cardiovascular system. I mean, I'm guessing that you would like to see your 20th anniversary.
However, calling someone a "walking heart attack" is a pretty dick move.

I don't mind the elderly so much since the majority of them spent a lifetime paying into the system. Besides, they can't help it that they're old.
The obese....yes. In all my years in healthcare, I saw more problems from obesity than I did from smoking.

"Doctor: Okaaay...there's your labia...
Me: There's an African country in my vagina?
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting though. Is it common for those kind of doctors to give you a play by play as to what they're doing down there? I would imagine that'd make for awkward conversation.

@forensic: Yearlies just seem so much worse when you pay for them.* Hurray Canadian healthcare!
*We're actually paying out the ass in taxes because fat people and the elderly are a blight on the medical system.

The fish thing...it's a separate area where you're wearing shorts and a tshirt, feels like pins-and-needles on your feet. I was hollering like a crazy woman for the first 2 minutes, trying to get my feet all the way into the water.
You don't dawn on my as being bashful Forensic...you couldn't possibly be worse than me, or I'd at least give you a run for your money in that area.
And yes, the process is undignified. I'm glad I have a female GP - it makes things slightly less horrific for me.

Some salons in the US have been trying to offer the fish pedicure (including one local to me). I guess the health departments are shutting them down.
As sensitive as my feet are, I'd either start laughing uncontrollably, jerk my feet out of the water like it was hot, be too horrified at the idea to even try, or I dunno, orgasm. Who knows? And I'll probably never find out because I'm too bashful for stuff like this anyway.
I too say random weird things during my yearly. I can't help it. The whole process is just undignified.
