Sports

To slightly revoke the imression that all we do here is eat, I would like to point out that I've actually been going to the university's fitness center for some training on friday. It is in the same building as the swimming, which I did on tuesday and thursday. However, I do not dare to take my camera into the swimming area. Anyhow, since this was the first time in years I have again visited a fitness studio, it was quite exhausting: cycling, running, dumb-bells, machine training for arms, back, legs and finally sit-ups and stretching. All in all about one and a half hours. It was actually quite fun, too, since we were four people and had some guidance from Johannes, who is a (quite substantial) bit more experienced. After that the friday evening ended rather quiet. Saturday was a day of replenishing fridges, washing clothes, sleeping late etc. until we finally decided to go to Gangnam for some clubbing. It took a while (2+ hrs) to find the clubs we had been told about and the we were then faced with a 20000 Won cover charge. We decided to decline and have some Korean cocktails and Czech beers instead, since some of us had decided to meet up for hiking the next morning at 9:30h beyond the other side of town. It was still a fun evening and it wasn't til 2:30h the next morning that we returned home in quite a good mood. We will deal with the clubbing some other time, when there is no hiking the next day and we no longer have to search for the place. This turned out to be a very good idea...
