I gave up trying to coordinate going out with friends yesterday, and after wandering around on the beach for a few minutes and getting some food, it occurred to me I had yet to try the spas here. Took a short taxi ride, only a couple of dollars. The spa was lovely...cold water pool to the far right, several tubs of hot water in ascending degrees of temperature (the hottest being around 43 degrees C), two sauna rooms, and an open air pool with a balcony overlooking the ocean (the whole spa looked out onto the ocean). I got a facial, scrub, and massage as well (the most pricey part of the evening, but worth it). And it would have cost me much more back home. I left around dusk, and walked down a pretty little path to the beach, passing the Salsa club I'd gone to the night before with a couple of friends. Supposedly they have free salsa lessons, but only for another week or so, and it's out of my way, which is disappointing.
I thought I'd play some pool before I went home, so I stopped at a nice, relaxed bar where they played mostly rock music. A Korean girl came up to me and asked if I minded if she and her friends joined in on a game. Before we left, we made plans to meet up again this weekend. Despite living in Korea, I still don't know many Koreans, outside of my school, it's so easy to just spend time with other foreigners.
