jim jil bangs and being naked and looked at
i have just discovered my new favorite passtime... the jim jil bang.
allow me to elaborate: a jim jil bang is a series of dry sauna rooms... all different sizes and temperatures.. ranging from the room shaped like an igloo to 100 degrees..
the jim jil bang is coupled with awesomely awkward and totally relaxed public baths. women and men are separate and it's hot tubs with different temperatures then a few wet saunas.. the hot tubs are in the middle surrounded by little bath stations with mirrors and showers and everyone is naked...
the best part is that it costs 5000 won. 5 bucks. and you can stay as long as you want. you can sleep there, so instead of paying for a motel, you can pay 5 bucks and sleep in a warm room on a mat.
so i went on saturday with eric for the first time and i went again after work tonight and i feel so refreshed. i might go again tomorrow night..
i had a good foreigner confusion mis-understood "oh yeah i don't really know korean" kind of moment in the jim jil bang tonight.. after i took off my clothes and locked them into someone else's locker.. :) love being told i did something wrong now that i'm naked. love it.
