Fish Spa Massage

Another of those gimmicks, but for the fun of it the kids tried it out. Initially it was quite ticklish and a lot of screaming by the kids as those little fishes started to swarm the feet. But soon it was quite okay and the kids really enjoyed the experience. The small fishes apparently eat the dead skins, in doing so, feel like they are massaging the feet. The shop is apparently doing well with many people really like the idea and want to try it out. The kids wanted to do it again another time.

Today was spending time at the Pavilion - a huge complex - big enough to spend the whole day inside. The food outlets are quite interesting and offer endless choices. We must have been eating continuously the whole day. Although today is a weekday, the complex in parts was still quite busy. Apparently the schools here are in the middle of their term break.

One thing that need improving here is the taxi service. It's not for lack of taxis but the way they charge the customers and drive the cabs. Those waiting outside the Pavilion would charge at least 30 ringgits for any destination. Otherwise they would just sit idly in a group waiting for those to take the bite. Arabs would just go for it. It is a small change. But then this would just encouraged these guys to continue cheating passengers. Their driving styles are quite erratic and dangerous. They would treat the street like their own Formula One track. Normally I would just tell the driver to take time and starts a conversation to ease his aggression. Most of the time this has worked.
