While the girls stayed around home reading, making crafts and relaxing, Brian sneaked out for a little fun on his own.
Stop #1: The sauna. If you've never experienced the Korean public bathhouse, you have not lived. Sauna temperature: 83.4 degrees. Pool temperature: 18.5 degrees. Wow. That's refreshing. Clothing is not optional. There is no clothing. And there are no photos.
Stop #2: Lunch and a movie with my friend, Mac. The movie was another example of the top-notch film industry that thrives here in Korea. Plot summary of 슈퍼맨이었던 사나이 : the main character is a psychotic middle-aged man who believes he is Superman. His "Lois Lane" is a jaded television reporter who begins tracking Superman's daily life. Her doubts begin to dissolve as our hearts begin to melt. There were no subtitles, but none were needed. What we lacked in linguistic abilities, the director made up for with great storytelling. We were riveted to our seats. Check out the preview if you like: http://www.superman2008.co.kr/
ps - check out the photo shot from the back seat of the taxi. Yes, that's a guy pushing a cart along the street and yes, that's our taxi driver watching television while driving. Never a dull moment.
Stop #3: Coffee & conversation with another friend, Tom Norton. He's a great guy with a big heart for serving the Lord here with his family. And he loves coffee. Drat, the chat was so good that I forgot to take a photo!
