Jimjjilbangs

For those of you who have never been to or heard of a Korean jimjjilbang (public bath / sauna), I came across this funny video that actually does a GREAT job of explaining it (while still making it comical of course). Enjoy!

Greenville, SC

2019 Road Trip, Stop #5 Greenville, SC My stop in South Carolina was mostly aimed at visiting some extended family members and catching up with them. We got dinner together the night I arrived and my cousin took me out for some drinks and to show my the city at night afterwards. But during the day on the following Saturday before I left for Georgia, they took me to this gorgeous park area near downtown Greenville called "Falls Park on the Reedy" (referring to the Reedy River). This park has a curved, single-sided, suspension bridge called "Liberty Bridge" which is the only of it's kind in the US. It over looks the waterfall and north through the rest of the park towards main street. The park follows the Reedy River about a half mile, with walking paths and beautiful buildings on either side. This historical building without windows is an iconic spot on the river bank: the Peace Center Wyche Pavilion. Another spot in the city I got t...

Savannah, GA - Day 2, Tybee Island

2019 Road Trip, Stop #6 Savannah, GA Day 2 - Tybee Island To the east of Savannah, about a 25 minute drive from downtown is the Atlantic coast and BEACH on Tybee Island. On the northern end lies a few sight seeing spots! First is the Tybee Island Light Station (and museum), seen below. I didn't go into the museum, but the view from outside was great as well - especially in the beautiful weather that continues to follow me everywhere I go! Across from the lighthouse and parking lot for the beach is Fort Screven, which was built in 1899 and used for coastal defense until it was shut down in 1947. Now it stands as a historic site and museum and is open to tourists for an admission fee. If you continue walking north from the lighthouse, to the left of the fort, you'll find the entrance to "North Beach". The beach stretches the entire eastern front of the island and split into 3 sections: North Beach, Mid Beach, and South Beach. The entire length of the thre...

Chiang Mai on Motorbikes (Thailand, Day 2)

Image
Due to our late night the previous, our second full day in Chiang Mai had a late start. We renewed our stay at the hostel, go some breakfast and then headed to the bike rental place to return our bikes and rent motorbikes instead! It was incredibly cheap, just 6$ for a day, and about 2$ to fill the tank. (we thought we needed to fill it, but then ended up barely using 1/4 of it) After getting out of the main road and out of the city, we drove up the same street we had biked down the day before. Only this time, the traffic was much heavier and we went much farther. I had always wondered what it'd be like to be on a small moped or motorbike zipping in and out of cars in heavy traffic to race ahead, and we got to experience it first hand! Although nerve racking and slightly worrisome at first, the more our confidence grew, the more fun we had. We had learned the previous day that the cars, and traffic in general, are very respectful towards and patient with bikes riding on th...
