Taking An Onsen Bath In South Korea
I woke up around noon. I went to an onsen with Eri by train. It was not far from the hotel where I was staying. It was a local onsen, so there were no tourists. I took a bath for the first time in almost a year. I also tried a Korean sauna even though I do not like saunas. After that, we visited a Korean cold noodle restaurant. One of the staff members remembered me, so she said, “It has been a while,” in Korean. We had delicious cold noodles and potato dumplings. We then moved to another restaurant that mainly served grilled eel. The cost of two eels was 69,000 KRW (€40). It was just so so for me. We took a taxi back to the hotel. I had been worried that the room still would not have been cleaned, but it finally had been cleaned! I was really relieved. We continued talking until around 2 am. We talked a lot that night.

- No Clean Up The Room Finally, I recovered jet lag so I was able to sleep well. I woke up just after 9 am. Just before 3 pm, Eri and I went out becaue I asked to clean up the room (In the end, it was not complete the cleaning 3 times in a row. How terrible!). We wondering around Dongam station. We visited a coffee shop to have coffee and sweet potatio juice. At 5 pm, we visited a craft beer shop but it was closed. I assumed that their regular off days are Monday and Tuesday? We visited a Korean BBQ restaurant. I oredere boiled gyoza but it turned out Haejang-guk (Korean hangover soup). It was not what I want to order but I gave up to make a complaint. It was a good mood anyway. We moved to another bar. Inside was darker than other normal Korean bars so it was made us comfortable. We had potato chijimi and magokori and so forth. We enjoyed very much and the pri e were so reasonable. I continued drinking at the hotel and I ate simmered eggplant which I got the prebious day. We fell asleep just after 11 pm.
