c'mon let's go see over there!
by the water?
don't put your hand in there ok?
mommy look what's inside that rock!
They get their own little clothes! Oh really?
We all get our own clothes. Kids get some too
Once you get to the locker room you're supposed to take off all your clothes
and leave everything in the locker
and bring your soap and shampoo and whatever you need to take a shower with
with you and then you go into the sauna area
where you take a shower
and then you can sit in a number of tubs with hot water
once you're done relaxing you can go out in the common area
and get a snack and meet up with your family and
just relax
some people even take a nap on the floor
so after we ate lunch, my sister in law and I went back to the women's
sauna and we soaked for a little while
and then we got our bodies scrubbed down by
these korean ladies
and they basically take a really scrubby
rough wash cloth which I'm not sure if they used a new one
for me or not
because it looked like it was kinda used
and then they scrub your body so that all of your dead skin sloughs off
and it's kinda gross
and then afterwards they gave us an oil massage
and I think the cost of that was about 50,000 Korean Won per person.
I did feel kind of uncomfortable
but afterwards I felt really clean? I guess?
my sister in law said that she felt that it wasn't
wasn't as good as the body scrubs that she's gotten in LA because
she said that she felt it was kind of rushed here
but it was my first time doing this, so
I don't really have anything to compare it to
If you guys come to Korea, and you have a chance to experience a Korean spa
and you feel comfortable getting naked in front of strangers
I definitely recommend checking out
one of these spas
as you can see, people come here with their whole family
and they'll just spend the day here and
go to the sauna, and play games, and relax
and eat
it was kind of expensive. I think the total cost for
everything for all of us was about 200,000 Korean Won or about $200 USD
and so it was fun to experience this one time but I
don't think that I will come back again on my own.
I'm not really a big sauna or onsen type of person
and my husband felt that the men's area was very dirty so
he wanted to get out of there as soon as he could
but there are other places like this and I'm sure
that there are newer ones that are a little cleaner
and it's a really fun and unique thing to experience if you have a chance to do it in Korea
