I'm not in Korea anymore, and it shows.

Hello readers. I'm happy to say that I'm alive and well back in the US, but I'm sure you couldn't care less. I do read your comments and write back when appropriate. Thank you for your continued support and for your attention, even to my old posts. Thankfully, not too much changes in the spa world, but as usual please let me know if my information is out of date. I do my best to stay on top of it but it's difficult when I'm continents away.

Now, for the purpose of this post. I recently found a couple of very interesting articles that I thought would be of interest to you as spa-seekers in (or even not in) Korea. I'd like to introduce one of them here first, and I will post the others separately so they can get their own spotlight.

Firstly, this is an older (updated in 2015) article, but I just came across it. CNN reporter Frances Cha wrote about her experience at Busan's SpaLand jjimjilbang. It's a great little article to remind us all how great things can be when they are a bit more luxe than expected!
