HaHa! Blondes will have to suffer being touched in Korea! Good Luck!
I would avoid taking them to a bath house...

Things were a little more exciting in the "Old days" in Korea. The kids, both boys and girls, below age 4 or so ran around in the country streets with only tee shirts on. It saved a lot of money on diapers, and provided interesting fare for the street dogs! Mothers would sometimes grab the boys and inspect them, laughing about "Chili peppers". Oh well...

Even I was asking from a high school girl whether they can touch the blonde hair of my friends around 1992 while travelling a countryside...

Surprisingly my friends rubbed his hair and give them a dozen of hairs with asking shares it among girls.

I went to a bathhouse today in Pyeongtaek. It is called Sky Park and it is next door to New Core Outlet. I loved it. It was very clean and modern. I went with three other Korean ladies and they showed me the ropes. The charge was 5000 won to get in. The place actually took up three floors of the building. One floor had the locker room and changing area and also the hot tubs and hot steam rooms. You also can get a facial and other types of massages here. Another floor had 4 different dry saunas and also a cold room. They had massage chairs that cost 1000 won for ten minutes. There was also a large area just for sleeping on the heated floor and relaxing. This floor also had a restaurant. The third floor had a children's play area, another massage area, internet, video games, and books. There was also a small room that had large boxes of sawdust that you were supposed to lay in. I didn't understand what that was really. And there was also a few karaoke rooms and another restaurant. I had a great time and can't wait to go back.

Congratulations, You just visited your first 'jim jil bang'!!
