Spasis: A Korean Jjimjilbang with Kids

Exploring Waterfalls on a Jeju itinerary
A double bed and a twin bed is just not enough for a family of six. The twins took the floor mat, I took the double with the squirmy baby discovering her fine motor skills and Daddy shared with Eclair. I was up all night. Every time I heard a grunt, or a deep breath, or heard the bed...
