Basically, you go into a coffee shop, order something to eat, and say you'd like the Dr. Fish as well. It cost around 8000 won, or about $8. I ordered a Belgium waffle for $5.90 and then the Dr. Fish cost $2.
While your food is getting ready, you are ushered to the back of the restaurant, where you are told in broken English to wash your feet. Next thing you know, you are sticking your feet into a tub of water with hundreds of small fish in it. These are the Dr. Fish.
They swarm around your feet, sucking off all the dead skin, essentially giving you a pedicure, if you can keep your feet in long enough - due to how much it tickles! You keep your feet in there for 15 minutes and then you wash your feet again, get sprayed with alcohol, and you then go back to enjoy your delicious Belgium waffle.
Now it all sounds very calm, but it is so ticklish that its nearly impossible to stick your feet in and not squeal, panic, and remove your feet very quickly. Keep in mind there is a quiet coffee shop behind you, watching the whole ordeal. This all lead to hilarious results.
All in all, it was really fun, and a good pedicure. I'm definitely going to go back, and drag Bob along, just to watch him try to stick his feet in and squeal like a girl.
