]]> Comment on Jimjilbangs and Saunas, Jeju, South Korea. by Rob Ludwiczak http://jejulife.net/2008/05/25/jimjilbangs-saunas-jeju-south-korea/comment-page-1/#comment-4042 Rob Ludwiczak Fri, 22 Jul 2011 11:42:13 +0000 http://jejulife.net/2008/05/25/jimjilbangs-saunas-jeju-south-korea/#comment-4042 I totally agree. They are great places to relax after along week of teaching. Mine is in Chilgok, outside of Daegu. It is great. It is better than the ones in Daegu. It is so realxing to sweat and get the TOXINS out of your body. My first experience was when I worked for Samsung. The guys took me to the Sauna there and I was totally shocked! When my adult student said take off everything, I was shocked, as I said. I "FREAKED OUT" I thought oh my God-- What is this-- ??? However, it is a Korean thing and now it doesn't bother me or make me think this is strange. It is a cultural adoption/adaption. Koreans are great people and have so many different customs than we do in the US, Canada,South Africa, and Australia. The English speaking countries, I think? ROB L. I totally agree.

I plan on going during the last week of July. It would be fun to try some body surfing if the waves are strong enough. Otherwise, I hope to take some underwater pictures. (I have an underwater camera and a dive light.) To that end, I'll be looking for some relatively pristine water. Your nice article gave me some good ideas.
