aqua-aerobics?

 Hi,

I have bad knees, so I really need to find a way to exercise involving almost zero impact. 

I know this is unlikely, but does anyone know of an aqua-aerobic class in Busan?  Free swims at the pool tend to be a bit over-crowded, but I'll manage if thats my only option.

Thanks!

After the instruments of doom I went to get my hair cut, and actually succeeded in communicating what I wanted. This is a bigger feat than it sounds. When I told a co-worker about how I needed to get a hair cut but was nervous because my Korean is so bad and they never seem to do what I want, she burst into laughter.
Me: What's so funny?
Co-worker: I am Korean. I speak Korean...and they still don't do what I want.
~~Giggling ensues.~~
Co-worker: If you bring a picture, it works much better.

South Korea. Wow. I actually did it. I actually went back. Hello.

I think the Metropolitician wrote about how North Koreans would fare should unification take place.  Alright, many have discussed the subject, but the Metropolitician described how they would be valued. South Koreans would be first class citizens, followed by North Korean women with North Korean men on the bottom.  Sadly, I cannot find the article on his blog.

The Times describes today what use North Koreans could be put to, after unification:
