a little respite
Today has been great. My first relaxing day since I`ve been here really - no one to visit, no deadlines. I`m back in Matsuyama and Bruce is at work. I`ve been happily wandering around the town looking at shops and drinking coffee. I went to Dogo Onsen, as featured in Spirited Away. It is a huge building but the baths are really small. As it is a working day, the only other folk there were really old ladies who found me most amusing! The bath was the hottest I`ve been in I think, and I took about 10 mins getting in and felt quite faint afterwards, but legend has it that it is healing water and since I`m feeling a bit ill, I hope it works.
I managed to change my ferry ticket, so I now go to Korea on Monday. So I`ve got a few more days to relax. It`s going to be weird by myself, as I`ve been surrounded by loads of folk up till now. Also I speak no Korean and apparently English is spoken even less there than here - which is pretty little. So that could be interesting. I do have one friend in Seoul - shes booked me into a hotel in Busan called the Blue Motel. I`m slightly concerned as Busan has a bit of a reputation, being one of the world`s largest ports…
