Muju Resort and another cold
Despite the lack of snow and ticket buying havoc, I had a nice weekend at Muju Resort with my friends. Hey, I snowboarded in Korea!!
I should have taken a picture of the lift and rental options displayed at the purchasing counter. There were way too many combos in my opinion. 3 Minutes or less should be all it takes to make the transaction, but there were a few issues. I had the option of renting equipment by the hour. “Hmmmm….do i want my board and boots between 12:30 and 4:30, 6:30 and 10:00, 10-12, 8:30 12:30, or really early morning, or a combo of these, and wait…what about the two day rental packages? And…and…and the lift ticket?” It’s the same deal. If the tickets and rental were cheap than i wouldn’t have really cared, but they were freakishly expensive. I, as well as my friends wanted to make the best choice. If not we could have easily lost 50 bucks. Unfortunately, upon arriving to the ticket counter, we didn’t know exactly what we wanted. We also hit the language barrier trying to communicate with the counter peeps. A three minute transaction turned into an half an hour event. But we had our a tickets, boards, and skis at the end of it and we were happy.
Now, for the second part of this post. I have my third cold in the last 3 months. This might be a record. I will to verify this with my mom. I suspect it’s because I am around hundreds of elementary students and exposed to copious viruses. Perhaps it’s the some Korean strains my body just can’t handle. I am suspicious of this because these colds are a little different than the ones I’m used to. It’s like a cold in the US, except the sore throat and runny nose and amped up while the coughing is reduced. Hmmm… I think I will might need to wear one of the these fun Korean masks for the rest of the school year.
