Something new

man sleeping on the floor of the subway on the way home from the jjimjilbang (at 2:00 am)

It was fun. A little weird; we seen the KLI (Korean Language Institute) cafeteria lady who usually serves us. And a whole lot of nakedness.

I didn't want to go at first because I was exhausted from all the tests and last minute cramming, but it turned out to be one of the most relaxing things everrrr. I wish I couldve gone sooner. Maybe I'll make a last minute trip there before Sunday. Anyhoo, so for anyone who doesn't know already, the jjimjilbang is a public bath house/sauna. The one I went to had 3 floors. The basement for showering and the hot tubs (which had a green tea tub). The first floor was the actual sauna place where you could cook food, well actually bake (things like potatoes and ddok/rice cake). We stayed there most of the time. The second floor isn't really anything. Just where you put your shoes before coming inside.

I forgets to tells yousa. I went to see gramps and the uncle last week, which was pretty cool because one) I got to bow---two full bows and then one half bow, two)share my drink with grandpa and three) learn a few things about my grandpa.

a- His Catholic name was Peter

b- He was from Geong-ju (where I went to visit with my CIEE group. weird huh?)

c- He and my 할머니 had an arranged marriage.

I know, my mind almost exploded with all this new info. It was cool. The end
