So Emily and I joined a gym yesterday. It wasn't too bad of a price, though the whole sign up process was slighty awkward (any expat would understand - interpersonal communication in a business setting tends to contain some sort of communicational difficulty).
We signed up for one month, which includes the health club machine part (cardio and strength) plus a "sauna." The Korean word 사우나 , pronounced sa-ooh-na (Konglish) is a great place, once you're used to it. It's a naked communal bath, which is incredibly relaxing. Again, once you're used to it. I never thought I would be, but who knew?
The reason we're doing this (this=working out, getting in shape, etc.) is because we are planning on going to Thailand for about 3 weeks during the winter break and we want to be in good shape for when we do. Hopefully we'll see some nice beaches, some good markets and ride on an elephant or two.
We're turning into real snowbirds - we are in Korea for Canadian winter, and in Thailand for Korean winter. I think it's the way God meant it to be.
