Massage Time

When we were in Busan we meandered past an aroma massage place that I've always wanted to go to. I did a little sweet talking and convinced my mom and jamie to join in the foot massaging fun!


my feet getting ready for the experience



Someone wore capris and got to put on these stylish shorts



Let the feet soaking commence

To my right



To my left



Lights out!



My masseuse. Don't let her pleasant demeanor and small stature fool you. It sounded like she was beating me half the time. My mom and Jamie lay waiting in fear for what was to never come.
I will say that my legs were fully tenderized by the end of the massage... and it felt good.

She then proceeded to take my legs one at a time and twist them all over the place and stretch my hip flexor... extremely awkward but I could tell my hips needed a stretch.



The point where Jamie lost all composure :)  They gave a little back rub at the end and her masseuse was a little forceful and shoved Jamies head between her legs.



Mom's back getting the tenderizing treatment :)

Overall it was an interesting experience to say the least, and my feet, legs, and hips felt great afterwards. Of course walking in flip flops all over the place for the next two days completely undid all of the beating massaging they did... but it was worth it :)

Korea Vs. Argentina

Last week I wrote about the Korea game we hit up at the high school. Welllllll tonight Korea plays Uruguay and if they win, and we perchance happen to win again Ghana... we will play each other. Which could get interesting.

Anyway, I shared why I thought Argentina won , but what I didn't get to share was our experience at the game. The students were funny and everyone was all riled up!




The crowd getting ready for the fight!


They had plastic bags on their heads... please don't ask why. I still have yet to try and figure out the way Korean students think... and I don't know that I ever will.

And yes... they also put on make -up they're comfortable with their masculinity.


Now it's game time. Soon after they turned off all the lights. It was pretty fun watching it on the big screen.


Korea Scores!!! In overtime of the first half. It was a great way to end the first half! And everyone went WILD! The lights were still off so you couldn't see the excitement but they were pretty pumped!


Taking a break at the half. Ian with his manly students.


Then there was this guy. Just meandered up to the stage and started beating on the drum. The REST OF THE GAME. It seriously felt like I was being led into battle. All I could imagine was Lord of the Rings, and I was just waiting for the Orcs to come out and attack. It was honestly stressful to hear the drums for over 45 minutes straight... apparently I wouldn't do well in a battle.

Unfortunately, Korea didn't do so great. A 4-1 loss took it's toll on everyone.


And this is how they dealt with their pain.  I have to say, before we took this picture, in the dark. The boy with his leg over the other one was on his back, with the other boy laying on top of him. And he had his legs around the boy on top of him. 

Awkward... yes.  Typical of Korea... yes.


And there you have it folks. An interesting way to spend the evening :)

Have any of you been watching the World Cup??
