Korean Vision Trip Part 2

After the conference, we went back to Seoul. We went to visit many places in Seoul. First, we visited Ehwa Women's University and Yonsei University (both are famous university in Korea). Then we went to visit the famous Han River. After that, we were treated to a traditional Korean dinner.

The next day, we went to Cheonan, the birthplace of JDM(Jesus Disciple Movement) and stayed at the Timothy Training Disciples Institute.

The following day we met up with Peter (one of my Korean friends whom I met in Malaysia). He brought us to visit the famous cathedral in MyongDong. After that, we visited the Korean traditional house. Then, we went to Jim Jil Bang! (Korean public bath) This public bath is very unique and it is a must try. Its called public bath because its literally public in a sense that everyone goes into the public bath naked! However, its divided between man and woman and it is not a common public bath.

They have all kinds of bath inside depending on which public bath you went to. And it is quite expensive per entry (about RM30) but you can stay as long as you like. In the public bath that I went, they have several kinds of bath for you to choose ranging from hot tea bath to cool bath and you can try anyone of them. First you must scrub your body with soap(its free) and rinse it off before going to the baths.

After you have finished bathing, you can change to the public bath robes and go to the common area where everyone and rest and relax. There are massage chairs provided and many small hobbit holes for you to rest. There are also saunas, ice rooms, television, restaurant and children playground. After the refreshing bath, we went to some shopping malls.

On the 10th day, Peter brought us to visit an aquarium. After that, we went to the KBS(Korean Broadcasting System) Station. It was really exciting to go there and we had the privilege to go on a special tour inside because the guide is one of the member in Jonathan's church. We got to see the studio, the dressing room and the makeup room. We also got the chance to go watch a famous music talkshow. =)

On the 11th day, we went to Jonathan father-in-law's place. They are very nice people and treated us Bulgogi (A type of Korean BBQ beef dish). It is really delicious! Then they brought us to visit the Korean Independence Museum. It was really big and divided into 6 parts. It was not boring at all and I learned a lot about Korean history.

On the last day, we went to LotteMart to do some shopping. When it was time to leave, many of them(Jonathan's friends) came to the airport to send us off. I was really touched by their support and kindness T_T I hope to go again to Korea in the future. God bless Korea!~
