mountains, or others collect the fresh mountain spring water. Most, however, just go to relax and breathe the fresh air and to spend time with their friends. Modern sports centers where people can swim, bowl, lift, work out, or do aerobics have popped up throughout the country. Buses travel around the apartment complexes picking up youngsters who go to lessons to learn to swim and young mothers trying to maintain their girlish figures with aerobics. At the center, they often encounter tired businessmen trying to work off the spare tires around their waists and counter in the jacuzzi and sauna the excesses of the previous night on the town or young men trying to build their muscles. At the bowling lanes, a random mix of people bowl late into the night.

There are also thousands of places where people can train in not only taekwondo, but hapgido, judo, geomdo, kungfu, or almost any other martial art. Parents like having their children learn these skills not only to make them stronger but also to help discipline the minds. More and more females are also taking classes for self-defense.

Particularly in the areas around colleges, it is impossible to walk more than 50 feet without running into one hall or another. Recently, pocket billiards have become popular, and many pool halls and cafes have pocket pool tables. The older generation, too, take a great interest in recreation and fitness. Besides mountain climbing, many enjoy walking or games of badminton. Overweight businessmen are taking time out of their busy schedules to
