hello everyone!
In hot weather like these days, there are many times when you wonder where to spend your time. Cafes are good, and shopping malls are good, but I visited a Korean 'Jjimjilbang' while looking for a special activity. Let's take a look together~
In fact, in Korea, jjimjilbangs are more than just sauna spaces; they are established as 'cultural spaces' where you can stay all day. My friend and I also wanted to experience this traditional culture, so we visited. Inside the jjimjilbang, there are jjimjilbangs with various temperatures, such as a hot yellow clay room, a warm kiln, and a cool ice room. My friend and I couldn't go into the 95-degree jjimjilbang because it was too hot, so we mostly played in the 65-degree room.
One of the unmissable pleasures of a jjimjilbang is the delicious snacks! After sweating a lot, I got hungry. The menu I ordered was kimbap, ramen, and the must-haves at a jjimjilbang, grilled eggs and shikhye! The spicy ramen broth was so good, filling my empty stomach after sweating! And the most representative snack that comes to mind when thinking of a Korean jjimjilbang is this 'grilled egg', and it was so much tastier than I thought!
I also took a certification shot with my friend in front of the jjimjilbang mirror! It was so funny and new because we were all wearing the same jjimjilbang clothes. I talked with my friend, read books, and even slept. I had fun escaping the summer heat and having fun at the jjimjilbang ~ At the end, I took a bath and went home.
The Korean jjimjilbang culture has become established as a kind of 'rest' culture. It's great to be able to relax, sweat, and enjoy delicious snacks in a cool space on a hot summer day~ Have you ever been to a jjimjilbang?
Have a nice day~
