Foot Fish Spa - Hungry Doctor Fishes Eat The Skin From The Feets

Doctor fish is the name given to the species of fish Garra rufa. Other nicknames include nibble fish, and kangal fish. They live and breed in the pools of some Turkish river systems and hot springs. In modern times, they have been integrated as a spa treatment, where they feed on the skin of patients with psoriasis. While the doctor fish treatment has been shown to alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis,[3] they are not meant as a curative treatment, as no cure for psoriasis currently exists. The use of the fish as a spa treatment for the wider public is still widely debated on grounds of efficacy and validity, as the treatment is not shown to have either positive or negative effects.
Garra rufa occurs in the river basins of the Northern and Central Middle East, mainly in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Oman. It is legally protected from commercial exploitation in Turkey due to concerns of overharvesting for export. Garra rufa can be kept in an aquarium at home; while not strictly a beginner's fish, it is quite hardy. For treatment of skin diseases, aquarium specimens are not well suited as the skin-feeding behavior fully manifests only under conditions where the food supply is somewhat scarce and unpredictable.
During their activities of foraging they slough off dead skin. They are simply looking for food which in the wild consists of aufwuchs. In both marine and freshwater environments the algae -- particularly green algae and diatoms -- make up the dominant component of aufwuchs communities. Small crustaceans, rotifers, and protozoans are also commonly found in fresh water and the sea, but insect larvae, oligochaetes and tardigrades are peculiar to freshwater aufwuchs faunas.
Spa resorts
Some spas provide large fish ponds with thousands of doctor fish in them
In 2006, doctor fish spa resorts opened in Hakone, Japan, and in Umag, Croatia, where the fish are used to clean the bathers at the spa. There are also spas in resorts in China, Belgium, the Netherlands, South Korea, Singapore, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Hungary, Rhodes (Greece), Slovakia, India, Pakistan Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Bucharest, Prague (Czech Republic) and Sibiu (Romania), Madrid (Corralejo Fuerteventura Dr Fish) and Barcelona (Spain), Israel, France, Sweden, Bahrain,[4] Iceland, and Trondheim (Norway). In 2008, the first widely known doctor fish pedicure service was opened in the United States in Alexandria, Virginia, and later in Woodbridge, Virginia. In 2010 the first U.K. spa opened in Sheffield.[5]
The practice is banned in several of the United States and Canadian provinces as cosmetology regulators believe the practice is unsanitary, with the Wall Street Journal claiming that cosmetology regulations generally mandate that tools need to be discarded or sanitized after each use. But epidermis-eating fish are too expensive to throw away.[6] The procedure is legal in Quebec, with a few clinics in Montreal.[7]
Garra rufa fish as pets
Before being outlawed in most U.S. states, the novelty of fish pedicures was viewed as a possible revenue enhancer for struggling nail salons, which had experienced less luxury spending from their regular clients during the recession. One New Hampshire salon owner who was shut down had assured local health authorities that she cleaned out fish tanks between pedicures and would never use the same group of fish with two different customers on the same day.[8] The state government still ruled the practice to be unsanitary.[9]

Long Chao Shou (wontons!) // Chengdu: City of Gastronomy 32
You can get this type of wonton - pork filled in a clear broth - in almost any Chinese restaurant, but Chengdu’s Long Chao Shou is special. It uses top quality ingredients and a more fragrant broth. These might be the best wontons I’ve ever eaten.
Tell the average person to make a list of Chinese food and wontons will be on that list. Having freshly made, perfectly cooked bowls of wontons as a cheap option for lunch makes living in China worth it alone. I just wish Long Chao Shou had a location closer to my house. Oh well, I’ll just have to travel to one of their locations scattered around Chengdu. The flagship store is in a basement close to Chunxi Rd, Chengdu’s pedestrian shopping street, but I headed to the Wenshu Monastery area to get myself a delcious bowl. This area, which is called Wenshu Fang, has been rebuilt in the classical traditional Sichuan style of architecture. The buildings are beautiful, as is the food. You can get street food or sit down in a restaurant. There is also a ton of shops that sell Chinese and Tibetan souvenirs. The higher-end ones (you’ll know by how nice they are) will cost you more than most other places in the city, but there are also street vendors and a more downscale market that’s set up close by (look for the Lobster sign), just be sure to barter at these places.

In this series, I am eating my way through a deck of cards. I bought a deck of food themed playing cards that feature a different Sichuan dish on every card. Every week I'll shuffle the deck and pick one random card to hunt down and sample. Chengdu was the first Asian city to be named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. It's full of incredible food - a lot of which you probably don't know about.

The weekly video will be posted every Thursday at 3PM EST until all 54 cards have been tried.

Păstrăvăria VALEA PUTNEI Trout Farm (Bucovina, Romania)
Păstrăvăria este situată în Pasul Mestecăniș, în satul Valea Putnei (comuna Pojorâta), pe malul stâng al Râului Putna la circa 1 km de drumul european E58 Câmpulung Moldovenesc - Vatra Dornei, la poalele Muntelui Giumalău. Păstrăvăria Valea Putnei, una din cele mai vechi din țară, a fost înființată în anul 1890 la sugestia regelui Carol I (o situație puțin confuză deoarece Bucovina a aparținut Imperiului Austro-Ungar până în 1918), având drept scop repopularea cu păstrăv a râurilor de munte din regiune. Au fost construite 15 bazine de pământ pe terenul lui Valerian Antonovici care mult timp a fost Vânătorul Șef al Casei Regale, ocupându-se și de această păstrăvărie. De amintit și de domeniul regal de vânătoare existent în zona satului pe Muntele Giumalău, în anii 1920 construindu-se pe acest domeniu, în Poiana Ițcani (la 5 km de centrul satului) un Castel de Vânătoare. După Al Doilea Război Mondial păstrăvăria a fost reconstruită în anii 1954-1955 aval de vechiul amplasament, probabil pe locul actual. Ulterior, în perioada 1979-1981 păstrăvăria a fost modernizată, ajungându-se la 38 de bazine din beton. Păstrăvăria s-a axat pe creșterea puieților de păstrăv fântânel, curcubeu și indigen. Se pare că a existat și o încercare de creștere a lostriței, probabil în bazinul circular de la intrare, rămasă fără rezultate deosebite. În prezent păstrăvăria Valea Putnei este administrată de Ocolul Silvic Pojorâta aparținând de Direcția Silvică Suceava. Are o capacitate de producție de 10 tone pește, dar se obțin și 15 tone. În videoclip se remarcă primele bazine cu păstrăv mare și hrănit cu furaje granulate mai mari (cât mazărea), în spatele lor bazine cu păstrăv tineret hrănit cu boabe mai mici, iar ultimele două bazine cu păstrăv puiet (alevini) hrănit cu furaj fin. De păstrăvăria valea Putnei se leagă și inventarea ”cobzelor” de păstrăv afumat, modalitate locală de pregătire prin fum, conservare și trasport a păstrăvului, prezentat într-un alt videoclip:
The trout farm is located in Mestecanis Pass, in Valea Putnei village (Pojorâta commune), on the left bank of the Putna River, about 1 km from the European road E58 Câmpulung Moldovenesc - Vatra Dornei, at the foot of Mount Giumalau. Putna Valley trout farm, one of the oldest in the country, was founded in 1890 at the suggestion of the Romanian King Carol I (an information little confused because Bucovina belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918), aiming at the restocking of the mountain rivers in region. 15 basins of earth were built on the field of Valerian Antonovici, who for a long time had been the Hunter Head Chief of the Royal House, and he also dealt with this trout farm. Also reminded of the royal field of hunting existing in the village area on Mount Giumalau, in the 1920s, a hunting castle was built in the Itcani glade (5 km from the center of the village). After World War II trout farm was rebuilt in the years 1954-1955 downstream of the old site, probably on the current site. Later, between 1979-1981, the trout farm was upgraded, reaching 38 concrete ponds. The trout farm focused on the growth of brook trout, rainbow (steelhead) and indigenous trout. There seems to have been an attempt to grow the huck (Salmo hucho), probably in the circular basin at the entrance, with no outstanding results. Nowadays the Valea Putnei trout farm is managed by the Forest District Pojorâta District, belonging to the Suceava Forestry Service. It has a production capacity of 10 tons of fish, but it also gets 15 tons. In the video, the first pools are with large trout fed with larger granulated feeds (like peas), behind them are pools of young trout fed with smaller granules, and the last two pools are with of hatchery trout (alevini) fed with fine fodder. The Putna Valley trout farm also binds the invention of smoked trout packed in fir ”kobsa”, a local way to prepare by smoke, preserve and transport of trout, presented in another video: -SxOrm8Ew

SUMMARY
=======
Romanian cuisine is a diverse blend of different dishes from several traditions with which it has come into contact, but it also maintains its own character. It has been mainly influenced by a series of European cuisines such as the Austrian cuisine, German cuisine, Greek cuisine, or Hungarian cuisine, yet it also includes culinary elements stemming from the cuisines of the Slavic-speaking countries of Eastern and Central Europe, most notably Serbian and Bulgarian as well as Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian.
There are quite a few different types of dishes, which are sometimes included under a generic term; for example, the category ciorbă includes a wide range of soups with a characteristic sour taste. These may be meat and vegetable soups, tripe (ciorbă de burtă) and calf foot soups, or fish soups, all of which are soured by lemon juice, sauerkraut juice, vinegar, or borș (traditionally made from bran). The category țuică (plum brandy) is a name for a strong alcoholic spirit in Romania.

SUMMARY
=======
An oriental rug is a heavy textile, made for a wide variety of utilitarian and symbolic purpose, produced in “Oriental countries” for home use, local sale, and export.
Oriental carpets can be pile woven or flat woven without pile, using various materials such as silk, wool, and cotton. Examples range in size from pillow to large, room-sized carpets, and include carrier bags, floor coverings, decorations for animals, Islamic prayer rugs (sajjadah), Jewish Torah ark covers (parochet), and Christian altar covers. Since the High Middle Ages, oriental rugs have been an integral part of their cultures of origin, as well as of the European and, later on, the North American culture.Geographically, oriental rugs are made in an area referred to as the “Rug Belt”, which stretches from Morocco across North Africa, the Middle East, and into Central Asia and northern India. It includes countries such as northern China, Tibet, Turkey, Iran, the Maghreb in the west, the Caucasus in the north, and India and Pakistan in the south. People from different cultures, countries, racial groups and religious faiths are involved in the production of oriental rugs. Since many of these countries lie in an area which today is referred to as the Islamic world, oriental rugs are often also called “Islamic Carpets”, and the term “oriental rug” is used mainly for convenience. The carpets from Iran are known as “Persian Carpets”.In 2010, the “traditional skills of carpet weaving” in the Iranian province of Fārs, the Iranian town of Kashan, and the “traditional art of Azerbaijani carpet weaving” in the Republic of Azerbaijan were inscribed to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.
