Pool-time and Condom-heads

Sunday was quite a bit hotter than it had been the previous week, so Shannon thought going to the pool would be nice. She called the pool she wanted to go to and asked if they were still open (considering it is now September). The worker said yes the pool was open, so we called our friends Geoff and Gilles (both Canadians that we work with). They met us and we took a cab to "Dreamland." Once we got there, though, we were told the pool was closed. UGH! But rather than "throwing in the towel" (heh, like the pool humor???), we went to the Tower Hotel to use their outdoor pool. The interesting thing about public pools in Korea is that everyone who goes into the pool must wear...

...a SWIMMING CAP.

Yeah....I've never had to do the swim-cap thing, and I was a little nervous about it. I mean, the idea of putting a rubber cap on my head made me feel like a penis with a condom. But I was able to find a swim cap that was more like swim-suit material than straight rubber, so the whole situation was a LITTLE less condom-ish. The pool was nice and relaxing. We had a great time! Gilles is the thin one with the nice smile, and Geoff is the one making the ridiculous face.
