What happened to the oxygen bars in Seoul? The places where you sit and drink coffee while breathing in nice oxygen with the nose piece they give you? I heard there was one in Apgujeong, but I never saw it.

Princess, try hookah smoke. It is better for you than oxygen.

In Hongdae: Gr8, Bricx and Nabi have hookahs.
In Itaewon: Bricx and the Turkish restaurant have them, plus some random mom and pop places.
In Gangnam: Rainbow has hookah smoke.

Gr8 has the best smoke and wine selection. Bricx has Red Rock on tap. Rainbow has the best atmosphere.

I was really surprised to see these in Korea. We would get heavily chemed in L.A. a lot. I was looking forward to escape these clouds of death. It's bad enough dealing with the yellow dust, and diesel and scooter exhaust. Chemtrails have been found to contain barium, aluminum and pathogens. They have been connected to Morgellons disease as well. Basically people get these nasty fibers that grow inside of them and leave the body full of horrible rashes. Just look up "morgellons" on youtube to see what I am talking about.

The US government is the main culprit behind this. There have been sightings of chemtrails around the world. I have yet to see anyone talk about them in Korea. The Korean Gov. must know about this since the US needs to get permission to fly in their airspace. If it's not US planes, it could be Korean planes and even specially fitted commercial jets whose pilots have no idea what they are leaving behind.

You will see the cross patterns or parallel lines. The trails fan out to form wispy clouds and ruin a perfectly sunny day like today. I advise everyone to keep an eye out and limit their outdoor exposure on heavy chem days.

I have a lot of pictures I have taken in Korean of the trails. I even got a circular trail! There is now way commercial jets make perfect circles and leave a trail that persist for hours.


Seen a few here lately, not too many.

Pathogens? Barium? Morgellon's? Staph infections?

Hmmmm ... one other popular theory is PROZAC. When i heard this mentioned, good ol' Donny Rumsfeld's name was brought up in the conversation Twisted Evil

Saw lots in Canada over the summer.

Multiple ribbons & sprayed streaks covering ... entire valleys Shocked

Chemical warfare indeed !!! Confused

btw Beans - you still having problems posting pics?

Sure, but... Pure oxygen is toxic, for one thing, and actually it's the free radicals produced by metabolizing oxygen that causes corrosion, aging in animals, browning of cut fruit, etc... I don't get it, do they really provide more concentrated oxygen in these bars? It's bad for you!

Or is it the other way round, and you breathe low oxygen air? Which is actually better for you- I've heard footy players often go for training in high altitude areas or sleep in daft low oxygen tents to improve their performance before important matches.

There is a sauna/jjim jil bang which is behind Seoul Station (north side) which is called Silloan(I think) which has two oxygen rooms. They seemed nice but there were lots of people in them and we were thinking if there are lots of people breathing in the oxygen rooms doesnt that defeat the point of going into an oxygen room.

Was a very nice place though although wont be going on a weekend as it is very big and busy.
