Cafe/Jongno Tower

This weekend, I went to a Dr. Fish Cafe. It is a coffee/tea shop that also has small tanks of fish. You put your feet in them for 15 minutes. The fish then eat all the old flesh off of your feet. It tickles a little bit, but the fish are so small that it isn't too bad. Most of them are mini-minnow size. The cafe also has many places to sit with magazines and books to read. Unfortunately, I can't read any of the books, but I can look at the pictures of the Korean version of GQ, Men's Health, and other magazines.

Also, I went to Jongno Tower. It is a unique building that is triangular shaped. It has a glass exterior and near the top there is a big opening. On the 33rd floor, there is a restaurant/bar. I went with a "friend" and we enjoyed a cocktail (a little expensive), but it has a nice view of downtown Seoul at night. It would be a nice place to have a romantic (and expensive) dinner with someone special.

It is almost of the end of July. Work has been crazy. This is the busiest month of the year because university students are on summer break. Most students choose to travel in August. I haven't had many extra students, but I did have more hours of class. So, my working hours still are inconvenient. I have to work early mornings and late evenings. Also, I am doing some TOEIC writing and proofreading for R&D, so I will get paid a lot this month. Even with the bigger paycheck, I will be ready for the month to be over.

Do you think, if I send Rod there, you can have those little fish take care of his feet? I keep sending weird lotions home w/ him and still they are pretty bad. Especially during hunting season. Would regular minnows work? They're pretty cheap here. ;)

P.S. Hope all is well. Pretty sure the States in general miss you. (Paris is out of jail. But they might still send up Nicole Richey and she's pregnant! The saga continues. . .) ;)
