Spa and R16 Round 2!


So all of the blogs after this point are being posted and/or written after I have already returned... lol. Blogging while in Asia didn't exactly work out...

Bright and early, at 10am, we woke up and went to.... another Korean spa! This one was called Dragon Hill Spa and it is one of the more famous spas. It was really big and had a lot of different things to do. There were also way more people at this one. In the sauna area, there were a lot more tubs and there were even outdoor ones! It is interesting to be naked outside lol. After the usual showering and bathing, we all met up outside in the co-ed areas and suffered through really hot and cold rooms together. There was a hot salt room with salt rocks all over the ground. It was painful to walk on, but not too bad to lay on. We tried covering our legs with burning salt but that was a bit unbearable. After some hot and cold switches, we had a snack of tea and hard boiled eggs. The eggs were black, I don't really know why but it was good. We also had a sweet rice drink after withstanding a burning room and it was very refreshing. Upon entering the ice room, the drink froze lol.









Next, we played around in the arcade for a bit. I tried to play Pump It Up, which is like weird Korean DDR with all the arrows in the wrong places. Too intense. After our spa day, we headed out to get some lunch! We took a bus and walked around the Han River kind of, but it was flooded from the rain so we couldn't walk along it. For lunch, we went to a Chinese-Korean restaurant. It was quite delicious! We came for the jjajangmyun, which was good, but I really liked the red spicy noodle soup! We made it back to our place afterwards and got ready for another night of R16!






Back at R16, we found that they ran out of tickets. But we were given free tickets to some unpopular seats or something, so we still got in. Tonight was only crew battles of breaking, while the day before was solo battles of breaking, popping, and locking. Sorry CS if I am writing everything wrong lol. I have no idea what count as good and bad but all of them were super cool. I didn't know people could be so bendy, and they also did a lot of interesting things like jumping on each other or being attached to each other while doing some very crazy things. I don't know how to describe it lol.

After R16, there was an after party at Club Able. We made our way to the area and looked for something to eat. There were also a lot of other foreigners in the area for the after party too. At the actual club, it wasn't really very crowded. Dumbfounded and Jay Park did a couple songs, but when they left the crowd also got much smaller lol.
