Dr. Fish and friends

Today, April and I joined some other members of the Okinawa Mums meetup group and headed off to Chula-U.
Chula-U for all you Londoners reading this is like the Okinawan equivalent of Acton Swimming Baths, without the pissy smell, the ghetto-ness and the freezing cold water! It is a local pool, but it is seriously like a resort pool. 3 pools, a view of the beach, restaurant, food machine, palm trees, jacuzzi and lots of naked women (one of whom marched us out of the 'bath house' for being dressed in our bathing suits..."pool is this way, no clothes here" OK. I am not ready to be naked so off we went back to the pool).
Now, the highlight of this place is Dr. Fish. There are these little fish that eat dead skin off your feet. Oh, how it tickled!
Here's a couple more photos I have been meaning to put up since yesterday!
These are my new 'turtle toes' done on Saturday at Coco K, some pedicure joint out here. Another Mum's meetup expedition!
Albert at Cafe Caracalla, just down the street from us, it has a great view of the sea...Right across the street from us and a block away from Cafe Caracalla. Try and ignore the frizz that is called my hair and enjoy the scene!A local we met at American Village the other day. Note the 'Oki towel' upon his head. A must have for this humid climate. He was enjoying watching us take photos.Oh, finally last night, Caz, Shelia and I finally got to see 'Sex and the City'. Very Funny. OK, Time for bed. Until next time, night night, don't let the bed bugs bite!
