Our break was great... we slept in, walked around downtown, read, worked out and met the sweetest Korean man at the gym. He came up to us just as we started our workout and said, "I will take you to a temple." He didn't pose it as a question so we just looked at each other and said, "Sure, what time?"
Michael ended up taking us to two different temples. The first one had a giant statue of Buddha and different temples spread out around it.
There were colorful lanterns all over, I loved the them
The second place he told us would be about a 30 minute hike, but we'd have to hurry before it was dark. He pointed up to the top of the mountain and said "We climb that," as he walked ahead of us. It was seriously straight up. The only thing that kept me going was all the little, old, Korean grandmothers I saw on their way down.
Once we got to the top it was incredible! You could sense how sacred the area was.
When we got to the bottom Michael offered to take us out for Ox blood soup... fortunately, the plan changed and we had some other soup with strange seafood instead. After dinner we thought we were heading home, but instead Michael wanted to show us his office. We think he's a Korean IRS worker. We sat at his desk and had tea... a little awkward but still great. We were the only people in the whole building just drinking tea at 9pm on Saturday night. At one point Ryan asked, to break the silence, "So is this where you type?" ...great question Ryan. "Yes, I type right here. This is my desk."
We got back in the car and thought for sure we were headed home, but then Michael asked if we might be able to meet his wife and son first so that his son could practice speaking in English. As much as we wanted to take a hot shower and go to sleep, we couldn't say no. This day was too good. We sat on the floor of Michael's bedroom eating Korean rice cookies and talking with his son Justin. It was so cute, and a little awkard since Michael and his wife were sittlng there watching us ask questions to his son, who we had just met.
...definitely one of our favorite Korean days so far.
Janny after session one. 
This is cupping. Not real sure what it does. Wikipedia probably has some answers. He explained in broken English that darker bruises are worse- like most bruises I suppose.
He told us we have bad blood: solution- get it out. He made tiny pricks with his pricker machine and stuck the cups on it. It's that simple- no more bad blood.
The evidence of stagnant blood- I guess. Does this picture quiet all you nay-sayers about cupping treatment?
Our doctor pours alcohol on Janny's back in preparation for the fire treatment, a most unusual and dangerous muscle relaxant. 
Janny's legs couldn't take the heat and were a little sweaty by the end.
"I think I'm dead..." Janny after fire treatment.
Not quite done yet... Doc. prepares for medieval neck adjustment.
Absolutely haggard after session two, Janny posses with her new friend. I wish we new his name.
These giant hickeys last a couple of days.
Not Janny- that's Gwyneth Paltrow with cupping bruises. Gwyneth believes in it and so do we.
