Joining the gym

Today I met Adrian at the Samsung Gym so we could sign up, we went there thinking it would be an easy process and walked out thirty minutes later shaking our heads. Inside the building there is no reception of any sorts just a map with directions to the management office. We walked around in circles for ages looking for the office and when we finally found it no one was there. There were some cleaners hanging about in the snacks corner so Adrian got his Korean driver to come in and translate for us as he speaks excellent English.  We were directed to go through the work out area into a tiny office at the back and sign a piece of paper. Viola, we’re now members!  As Adrian works at Samsung and this gym is owned by Samsung we don’t have to pay (yey!) and there’s no such thing as membership cards. You just sign a little piece of paper and then use the gym at certain times. It’s great and sort of unbelievable how well we’re being treated over here. I feel so fortunate.

We went for dinner with Sarah and Ian tonight and it was great. Ian tells the best stories; I don’t think Adrian and I will ever get sick of hearing them. It’s so funny, when he starts telling a story he knows is hilarious he starts laughing and has to calm himself down before he can tell us. We’re very lucky to have met such a great couple, it makes being away from home just that little bit easier.

Off to bed.
Write soon xx
