Hockey Night in Korea!

I just got back from playing some ice hockey here in Korea. This is the first time I got to play on ice since I got my hockey equipment shipped to me! The ice hockey rink is in the basement of the ice arena in my city. There are two rinks, one on the main floor for speed skating and figure-skating, and then the ice hockey rink is below.
Well, let me tell you, there are distinct disadvantages to playing in the bottom rink. The main one is that it takes a lot of heat to keep rinks cool, and a lot of that heat comes from the coils under the rink to freeze the water. (Think about how hot the back of your refrigerator can get) Anyways, since you've got that heat under there and then you have an ice-rink below it, well, you get heat from the rink above and the cool air from the rink below and you get fog!
It was so surreal skating around in a rink of fog. Halfway through our time playing it actually started raining in the rink because of all the condensation going on. Quite the experience.

On another note, this past week wasn't that good for me. I came down with tonsillitis. Luckily I went to a doctor when it started up so I didn't have any problems. When i went to a doctor last time for my earache, I tried to find a doctor that my friend recommended to me, but I got mixed up and accidentally went to an Oriental Medicine doctor. He diagnosed me without even looking in my ear and prescribed an hour of acupuncture, suction and electro therapy (in that order) first time I ever had anything like that done to my body. Strange experience (plus, the suction left huge circles on my back that lasted for about a week). It did nothing for my ear. That cleared up over time, and then went totally out of the way after taking my antibiotics for my tonsils!

Anyways, that was my week for you all. I hope to update this more.
