It's hard to believe that tomorrow we leave Busan to Soeul for a couple days for the final stretch of our journey. In one sense it seems as if I have been gone for a long time, yet in another it seems as if just yesterday I was boarding a plane in Detroit. I guess that's life- time freezes in one sense, yet goes 100mph in another.
The past few days were quite relaxing. I am in the throes of depression because LOST killed off one of the hottest characters of the show. I'll recover. Hopefully.
I've been meeting up with Meaghan on breaks, and eating Korean treats made with kidney beans and sweet potatoes (for the record, pastries filled with sweet kidney bean or sweet potato filling are actually quiet good. So is kidney bean ice cream and sweet potato lattes). We've played games and gabbed and giggled and eaten chocolate and quoted old childhood movies, as only sisters do (he hasn't come out and said it, but I'm sure Kevin won't be too sad to see us go).
The other night Meaghan and I did the trendy Korean thing and visited the jimjilbong, or saunas. We went to the largest one in Asia. Basically you walk around naked (women only) and have a vast selection of different pools, hot tubs, and steam rooms, all various temperatures (some scorching hot, and some friggin' cold). It's very liberating walking around in the birthday suit, if not a little awkward at first because that is something us North Americans just don't do. It's a very relaxing way to spend an evening, and surprisingly inexpensive.
So tomorrow we pack up our bags and trek it to yet another city and say good bye to Busan.
I made a quick and dirty video of some footage from Thailand that was taken on my cheap camera. I can't upload files here, but I think I have a way for people to view it. Stay tuned!

What do you mean Lost killed off one of the hottest characters????
I hope you are still in the second season over there. It better not be Sawyer because he is definitely the HOTTEST!!!!! Lost does not start here again until Feb.7 so if you are ahead over there you are revealing things that should not be known yet.
Hanging around with a bunch of naked women? HMMMM! I don't know!! Sounds kind of weird. Maybe Chris would like it but would definitely not be my idea of a good time. I guess it's just a cultural thing. I remember when Meg emailed about the same thing and how strange it was at first but how you got used to it. I guess I'll have to go out there some day and try it myself before passing judgement. Or maybe you can start a new business here in Sarnia girls. I don't know if it will catch on but who knows!!!!
