Now I'm a gym girl

I also joined a gym finally. The place is awesome because it's brand spankin' new. I actually signed up for a special they were offering even before they opened the gym. It works out that for 8 months I pay a little less than 300 dollars. Which for Seoul, is not too shabby. 

The best part about it is that we have to wear uniforms (almost every gym here makes wear them) They are hilarious. They have two sizes- large and extra large. The shorts graze the top of my knees only if I roll the top once, and the shirt goes down to the middle of my thighs. But I must say, not having to wash your gym clothes every night, especially when you don't have a dryer, is pretty nice. 

Also, the gym is so new that they don't have to many patrons yet. Thus making me- the ONLY non-korean- stick out like a sore thumb. The guys who work there know me by name and come check up on me mid run on the treadmill. I think this is out of sheer boredom however, because although I'm blonde, I'm wearing the equivalent of a chubby boy's high school basketball uniform and sweating profusely.
