Sunday Sauna Funday

While I don't have photos of the Jimjilbang for obvious reasons, I still think it necessary to tell you about it. Alyna and I went to a famous sauna in Itaewon. For 5,000 won (roughly $4.20), we had the truly unique experience of a Korean bathhouse. To give you a decent mental image of the place, imagine a room with 30-40 butt naked Korean women (aged 3 to 75) half of which are scrubbing themselves raw with loofah mits on 8-inch tall stools (spread eagle!) while the other half are bathing in one of seven whirlpools each equipped with a 3-foot tall penis fountain. We saw a human tail. I shit you not. The bathhouse also has massage tables/chairs, a restaurant, tv lounge (you can sleep there!), and giant human pizza ovens where you sweat sweat sweat. At first it was a little strange to be naked in front of 40 complete strangers, but after a few minutes, you begin to relax in a bath made of green tea and can't believe you ever really lived before going to a jimjilbang.

Alyna. The better half. (Just kidding. Sort of...)
