My second time to do a foot soak around the Onyang Market entrance. This is across from the CUL building, with Popeye's on the first floor. It's right after you cross the pedestrian crossing going to the market. There were almost a dozen of ajussis, ajumman, halmoni and halaboji soaking up in the hot spring.
I feel that I was the youngest one there since I wasn't able to convince my son to join me. He opted to go and find a hotteok seller nearby to eat some hotteok. I sent him out and about without much worries about crossing the streets coz the pedestrian crossings are quite sound.
First, I took off my socks and pop them in my back pocket. Then, I rinsed my feet at a tap on the end of the foot bath strip along the street and tiptoed to find an empty seat. Some ajussis motioned for me to seat to the nearest space at the end which I tried but I found it quite hot. It seems that it was the hottest part. I had to move a bit farther to find the temperature that I can endure. Last time I was there, my feet really turned red but not this time around. The outside autumn temperature must have cooled the water a bit now.
After ten or 15 minutes later, I whisked out the small towel that I brought along to dry my feet and put on my socks and shoes. I noticed one ajumma who simply dried her feet by patting it lightly with her socks. I'm not sure that it's enough to dry my feet.
I wonder when until when they can keep this open before winter. It was closed until around February, early March this year when I first looked for it. It made me really want to soak my whole body in a hot spring soon. This is going to be a thing to do this coming winter I hope.
