After much persuasion from Justin today was the first time I visited a Jjimjilbang, a korean bath house. The place is located just outside of Dongmyo Subway station exit 6. Its on the 12th floor of a building. Entrance fee is 10000 won. The name of the Bath house is called Sparex.
Visiting a bath house might be a culture shock for some as every one just walk around naked in their full glory. Being in Singapore, such is a sight in which you don't see often as it is not part of our culture.
So we went around soaking in the hot waters ranging from 38 to 40 degrees centigrade. It was always interesting to see Justin and Daryl fighting in the water like small kids. Its hard to believe that few years down the road they will be fathers someday.
After the long soak we visited the gym. It has been a long time since I been to one since I arrived in Korea. Had a light workout, I missed my pull up bar. lol. Still managed to do 6 but I am aiming to go for at least 10 when I get back to Singapore. I measured my weight and I am now 60.5kg. Okie perhaps with all the food, I am 61kg now. I have lost like 4-5kg in 4 weeks in Korea.
With the workout done, we met up with Shaun and his relative. Its cool that he only knew his cousin during an overseas voluntary service trip. They don't know about each other in the 24 years of their life. In fact Shaun was the uncle even though their age gap are close.
For food we had eggs and red bean shaving. For 4000 won, you can have a large bowl for 4 person. Nice!.
At the end of the day, the most epic thing was that Justin lost his shirt. His T-shirt was the exact same gray color as the bath house T-shirt. As a result he misplaced it and the T-shirt might have mixed with the other Sparex T-shirt in the laundry. We tried to find for him but to not avail. In the end he had to wear the Sparex T-shirt back home. LOL.
