My, my, it's been a while, eh? How time doth fly (it doth fly in the manner of what-what) I got back yesterday night from a wonderful vacation with our friend Dylan Thomas. We set out to explore South Korea with no set agenda and ended up seeing Cheonju, Daegu and Gyeongju. A detailed account, along with news of other happenings (and perhaps some things which are both redundant and repetitive) shall be forthcoming, but right now I'm still recovering. Highlights included:
*Nifty scenery as seen from a series of comfortable, relatively short bus rides
*An incredible hotel room, complete with jacuzzi for only 60,000 won per night
*A delicious, five-course Italian meal in a lovely atmosphere with great people-watching and only the faintest scent of sewage (sorry Korea, but you undeniably smell)
*Cheap champagne
* Some great T-shirts and a pair of slip-on shoes with skulls on them
* The biggest, baddest temple in all of South Korea
* A Haagen Dazs ice cream cake
* Funky artifacts
*People sweeping grassy hills with large brooms
* More golden Buddhas than you can shake a stick at

Hey, I work for Gyeonggi English Village (a theme park that teaches English) as an actress/singer/writer.
I'm sorry, but I can't remember the name of of the jimjilbang. I can tell you if your turn right from the bus terminal and walk for about 10-12 minutes, it will be on your right, on about the 6th floor. Enjoy your trip :)
