What I Like About Korea - ROK Drop

ROK Drop is starting a new series of posts by GI Korea titled "What I Like About Korea". It will list 25 things that the author likes about South Korea, starting with #25, Jumjilbangs.

I wish I had thought of doing something like this first. It is a great idea and GI Korea's first pick is a good one. I love jimjilbangs. They are something I find myself missing at times now that I am not in Korea anymore. I liked going at times when there wouldn't be a lot of people. Sometimes I would even bring a book and soak in one of the hot pools. We have hot tubs at the local sports plex but it just isn't the same.

For the most part when I went to "Sauna's" no one bothered me. I didn't find there was much if any staring. Except for a few incidents where someone wanted to practice their English, or kids were unsupervised, no one bothered me.

Great idea GI Korea. I look forward to your next installment.

  1. Yip yip.
    I liked going to the pools and soaking for a while, too. And then I saw some mooks who liked to... uh... massage? their genitals in the whirlpool jets.
    My attendance kind of dropped off after that sight.
