Last year around this time, I promised to find or organize a polar bear swim..somewhere and ...sometime.Well, It's Lunar New Year, it's 12 noon, I don't know where and there are no sponsors.
Okay, to tacks. I will be on a beach at 12 noon. Depending on scheduling, I may have already exercised or will exercise at that time to warm up before going in.
Sokcho Beach is easiest for me but I am willing to go to Yangyang or Gangneung to meet others.
From Sokcho Beach, we could take a quick taxi to haesupia - a large sauna - and I would donate one free ticket.
In Yangyang, we could swim below Naksan Temple, then race up the hill to Naksan Beach Hotel's sauna - then warm our souls at the temple!
In Gangneung, ah, I don't know. There was a crappy shower there but I recall it was cold water and terrible pressure. I am almost certain it is closed in the off season. Still, I guess we could swim then warm up again by towelling off then running around or having a beer or something.
Gangneung people (Pack the El Camino -return from Canada and keep your promise!), let's hear your suggestions.

Oh, the link at the top leads to my review of last year's Sokcho Fire & Ice Festival, which runs from Feb 6-14 this year. Again, I think there will be a human powered ferry race - anybody interested in putting a team together?
