Family Funtime

It's been 2 years since our last official family vacation. When I think back to when me and my bro were kiddies sharing the hotel bed, fighting over the blankets, I've seen how far we've progressed. Although we're now all grown up and have separate beds, we still fight over the TV remote. But it was great to just get away from HK as a family and share some down time together. We went to Zhu Hai, China, a resort area, for hot springs. Not much to do there, but sometimes its nice to do nothing. Chilling in the hotel, eat, hot spring, eat, massage, eat, eat, eat!!!

The most interesting bit was at the hot spring facility. They have over 60 different pools you can dip into. The wackiest of the bunch was the "fish tank". It's literally a big pool with fish in it. These fish are supposed to eat the dead skin off you. So of course we couldn't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of being eaten alive by hundreds of fish! It was quite scary at first, being nipped at by the little buggers. There are some big ones that actually had me checking for blood after they give you a lovebite. Once you settle in and hold your feet still, about 10-20 fish will swarm and feed off your dead skin. Waste not, want not. I wish I had photos.
