Would you like Hepatitis with that Kimchee?

Jan Claborn is a great friend who was here visiting her husband this past week. I showed her to ALL the fine establishments that Korea has to offer. One of my favorite spots is a pedicure salon I lovingly refer to as "Horn Removal"...(re: "not quite right" #2). We are enjoying our conversation when I get SLICED open by the "skin scrapper". My life flashes before my eyes because we ALL know how unsanitized things are here. I start to freak out and leave the shop wondering if this would be the way Korea finally "gets me". After talking with God and Marc...I decide it would be a good plan to go to the doctor first thing in the morning. Turns out I hadn't had my hepatitis shots so not only do I get Hep. A and Hep. B BUT the doctor thinks it would be a good idea to give me TWO booty shots that gives me some sort of meds. that attaches itself to the virus if it is spreading throughout my body. NOT to forget the blood work I had to do as well to see if they find anything else that I won't know about for another week! SOOOO, I should live...but my booty has two bruises and my arm is tender to all get out! With all that being said, we decide to press on and take Jan to her first (and last) authentic Korean restaurant. "It's all part of the experience"!
Don't know if this was the hepatitis or...

the kimchee! MAYBE BOTH!


But we have some serious issues!

The evening ended with a good cold bottle of water and people watching at the local "Cheers" spot. Jan definitely won't forget her visit to good ole South Korea! It was fun playing with you!

You should never do the scraper, it doesn't matter what country you're in! Argh. Loofah your heels every day in the shower, I promise they will never have to come near you with those things again.

Hysterical pictures with your friend. I got a pedicure while we were at Dragon Hill, and I couldn't stop thinking about you and your scraper story. I got away unscathed. :)
