Stamp-making@ Korea National Musuem
Tada~ my stamp! You have to read from top left, down, top right then down. It reads "zhuo Si ling stamp"
Haha teacher said my stamp was really well done. I got the depth right the first time without much edit work from her. Muahahaha #talented
At the start, Jiejie blur blur one and stepped around in her slippers towards the lockers for bags before taking her shoes off. LOL
The female dug out room. Actually it doesn't feel hot at all!
This is the super hot one! Jade room. It was so hot we couldn't even stand on the floor (which was filled with jade stones) ran in for 20-30seconds? And ran out XP
This is the charcoal room. Ironically, it's aircon temperature here. So popular tt I can't even find a sleeping spot in this room. Sobs.
Salt room! Was tempted to taste the salt to see if its really salt. But then again, urine and sweat also turns into salt... So... Hmmm. We buried ourselves in the hot salt. It's supposed to purifying skins with allergic (aka my crocodile skin).
Ice room:) freaking -10degrees!!
This is some other room with a weird sounding English name. It's like 40+ degree :0 hohoho yep we pretty much conquered all the rooms like kiasu Singaporeans~
My toppoki ramyeon was the best hahahaha
Next agenda- National Musuem historical exhibits
To make visiting history exhibit fun, i got myself a self-explore guidebook for 100won. Turns out in the guidebook, there was 1 question to answer for each exhibit...0.o stress~!
Being noobs in korean history, we visited Joseon exhibits first (since joseon appear in most korean dramas) I run back and forth trying to find answer to fill up the self explore guidebook. Then i realizes most of the answers can only be found in the Korean description ._. The exhibit didn't translate the answers into English! They only translated the most basic stuff in English for each display..
Third agenda: sleeping time~
Haha so we went home at around 4-5pm
since the 老一辈 was exhausted. I myself could appreciate a slow pace day for once and catch more sleep before hectic school life starts:3 yummy sleep~~
Final agenda: Jimjilbang
Hoho must go place in Korea! Especially when ur whole body is sore from shopping:3
Step 1: Payment
The ahjusshi was not bad in explain the sequence of the jimjilbang to us in English. He must have quite alot of foreigners coming in haha. He gave us the Siloam uniform to change into after payment
Step 2: Lockers
There were two lockers. First, you have to lock your shoes at the entrance of the locker area. Then, exchange the shoe locker key with a bag locker key from the shop ahjumma.
The bag locker key:) you can put it around your wrist so that you won't lose it:3
3. Stripping off butt naked.
Like inexperienced Singaporeans, we went to the toilet to strip off and covered as much body parts with towel. The locals were unabashed about it and started stripping off at the locker area. xD
4. Showering and soaking in different baths!
It was so fun and relaxing! Warning: some baths can be very hot. Look at our silky smooth skin after the bath!
Ok...I'm exaggerating. The smooth skin was from photoshop:P but the removal of stress and tension is REAL!
We went to all the different baths (jade, mudwort, cold, charcoal and massage baths) super relaxing. Like all the stress from my body is released~~ ^~^
The cold bath was like icy water. Couldn't get in fully. It was like reliving the Taiwan nightmare of bathing in cold water. So no way. I'm not bathing fully in cold water!
5. Sleeping/resting @ the various sauna rooms
6. Meal time:)
How's the weather in Korea in July? : Siao one!
Dealing with super weird weather here:/ Mornings are super hot (making my crocodile skin appear:/) then evenings area super cold due to the heavy rain... Don't know whether to wear short sleeve or long sleeves anymore...>.<
After Jimjilbang, it was past midnight and we had to battle against the crazy strong wind. Look at the flying rubbish!
Eager to go Jimjilbang again,
Jojo
HAHAHA you look drunk in the charcoal room cause of the red face!
