What did I do Saturday? Oh yes! My friends who I met in Seoul came to Gwangju for a day. It was a day full of fun. I woke up tardy and got to the bus station 20 minutes late. They were standing there patiently waiting for me. Let's call them Florida and Canada. Florida is a very fun loving stylish chick who loves life. Canada is great, she's sorta sarcastic (which I love) and is very kind. They both are a bit sassy and really cool. The best part? They love shopping more than I do! Erin is super pleased that I have found shopping buddies because as everyone knows- Erin HATES to shop. I LOVE to shop and walk around stores. Anyway- I pick the girls up and we headed to The Foot Place which is where I got my fish mani/pedi done.
We arrived at the nail place where three nail techs were waiting for us. We changed in the locker area and afterwards we were taken to the foot tubs where our feet soaked in colored/heated water. From there they moved us to the pool with the fish. I had forgotten that it was icy cold water. We had the fish picking at our toes for quite a bit. Eventually we were taken to the mani/pedi stations where the women did a fantastic job with our hands and feet. Since Florida was getting a very elaborate hand painted design on her fingers, Canada and I headed out to shop inside the store that the Foot Place was in. Kinda like a Super Walmart. Canada was in the market for a new camera so we headed on over to the electronics department. I don't know squat about electronics just how to turn them off or on. Canada doesn't either. She picks a camera based solely on the fact that it is pink (her favorite color). I think it also happened to be a Nikon or Cannon. To be honest I don't really remember but still...it was the color that mattered.
Once we left the Foot Place we headed to Old Downtown. This was Canada's first trip to Gwangju. We headed on up to First Nepal- my favorite restaurant in all of Gwangju.
After a super great meal of Butter Chicken and Nan we walked around town showing Canada the sights. We did quite a bit of browsing/shopping. As we walked we would get stared at by people or pointed and stared at. I guess it was because these people had never seen three colored girls walking down the street together.
We had a super fabulous time and we plan on getting together again. Where is the question. Until next time- Adios!
I totally don't remember the fish water being cold at all. I think I was just too focused on having fish biting my flesh.
