  • sooo

    Had a nice trip to the east coast in 속초-- and got to see a lil of seoraksan. I'm at the bus terminal waiting to go back home. I stayed at a jimjilbang :) .

    I always wondered why Koreans have so called good skin and read about their scrubbing. So at the jimjilbang, I went in the sauna, the hot tubs and the cold pool twice to "losses my skin" so I could scrub. Damn the hottest tub at 44 degrees and the hottest steam room at like almost 100 was effing hottt. I think it's Celsius and maybe Kelvin in the sauna? Ionosphere, it was hot.

    I scrubbed so hard some skin turned red hehe but I was already a Lily red cuz of the water. Omg I feel so refreshed! Don't think I've ever scrubbed my skin in my entire life lollz. They have attendants that u can pay for them to scrub ur skin I read. (I always thought that they were there for massages)

    So one weird thing happened. My breathing was restricted as I walked out of the cold pool at the end of my soaking. I held my breath underwater for a minute and felt my heartbeat slow down. I brought my head above water but held my breath so calmly that I didn't feel the need to take in a breath. I started to walk out of the pool and noticed that I haven't even started breathing yet. Weirded out, I calmly let in a lil air but I was barely breathing and it felt so good! I walked around to make sure I was still alive LOL cuz I've never felt like that before. I was thinking so that's how whales feel when holding their breaths underwater lol hahaha. But really, I didn't feel the need to breathe the first steps out of the pool other than me being freaked out that I hadn't yet.

    So waiting in the terminal.. a young lady at across from me and I swear she mumbled something but I could make it out. I assumed she was talking on the phone but I looked at her and she wasn't! I was a lil embarrassed cuz I didn't say anything. I don't like to scare people away with English. So I looked away. Then she mumbled something frustratingly and she tried to dip out but like I felt she was a lil off cuz she went to pick the phone off the payphone and looked in the trash next to it before heading towards another direction. I think she said something like "어디에 살았어?" But I couldn't hear her and I was confused. (That means "where do you live?"). Hmmmm lol I feel bad I left her hanging but ionosphere man. Iono.
