These bikes are made for foreigners!

Ha ha! Ok, so Jo and I went to a spinning class this evening. They've just got some new bikes in so this was the first time they had been used. We spent quite a while adjusting the seat, handlebars etc... and then got going. I've always been a bit wary about spinning due to silly pains in my knees, but they were fine throughout! The flashing lights were going, dance music pumping and the instructor really going for it! He got us all shouting "huuh" at different parts of the music :) We might as well have been in a disco!!

So again, there was a lot of giggling going on in the class and before we started it was a mixture of giggling and commenting. I found out why later! All the seats on the bikes are TOO TALL for the Korean women lol!!! They said that the bikes were made for foreigners as they couldn't reach the pedals properly, even at the lowest height!! ha ha! So there I am putting the bike seat up proving their point! The instructor said that they are going to saw all the seats tomorrow so that they are the right height for the class. How funny is that?!

This morning I picked up my health check stuff from the hospital - all good and she apologised for messing up. Went to immigration and it will now take a week to get my Alien card.. Another week to wait to get my own phone, bank account etc but nothing can be done about that.

Was told that my classes for the day were cancelled (these are the classes in the different province at the school I don't particularly like) so that made my day. Found out later on when Mr Park explained to Jo, that the director of that school is going to close it down as there aren't enough students... So, no classes there from now on. Puts a smile on my face but I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact I won't work there on Saturdays, and that is when they get more students in... Hmmmm.

I was asked to help out at another class today so did end up working. Not a bad afternoon at all.
