My team and i had just spent 3 months in Nepal and half of us thought it would be nice to pay for a sleeping room (it was 1am in Seoul when we arrived and therefore there was no access to anything in the airport except for wooden chairs.) And after taking a nice long nap in the sleeping room they would spend much of the next day at the spa. The rest of us very unwisely thought, we're not spending money on that, and ended up shivering on wooden chairs for the next five hours until the cafes opened where we took advantage of Korean hospitality and camped out on their couch for the whole day. Of course everyone in Korea is dressed very stylish and the three of us had been wearing the same three shirts for the past 3 months so I'm sure we weren't drawing any attention to ourselves at all. Everything smelled like fish and eventually the rest of our team that had spent the better part of their day having awkward naked experiences in other regions of the airport (I know that one of them got yelled at in the shower by an old Korean lady wearing lingerie) had to call us over the PA system cause we were all too delirious to realize what time it was. We missed the page on the PA cause we were all asleep on a couple of couches that we found surrounded by Korean people. Then I got stopped at security for having not one, but two pairs of scissors in my carry on that I had no trouble getting on the plane with in Kathmandu.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085614685546534431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-72095714645050059922013-09-24T09:42:20.959-06:002013-09-24T09:42:20.959-06:00I wondered the same thing

The last time I went to one I watched an old lady make the employee help her apply some sort of ointment to her bottom. Just think....it could have been worse.Rebecca U.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08100637490771511657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-23016289869122663882013-09-11T14:14:20.507-06:002013-09-11T14:14:20.507-06:00It is called King Spa!
