A few weeks ago we moved residences. We were finding our 18th floor penthouse suite to be a bit inadequate, so we moved into more intimate student housing at a nearby university. This picture is of us at a throwback coffeeshop across the street from our new address.
Korean bathhouses are perhaps the best in the world outside of Japan. They have three components: the bathhouse itself, of which there are necessarily no pictures; the saunas, which are usually hot but in this instance was a chattery 40' (Adrienne posed for a quick pic and was outta there); and a public resting area where people have picnics, naps, watch TV and even spend the night. All this for $5.
Light pink for girls; dark, brawny red for boys.
The pillow is wooden, the stones are salt, the room is a balmy 140' (nothing compared to the red-hot 192' max that boils an egg).
This picture demonstrates that the saunas are a great place to a) die and b) flirt.
In the center of the resting room is an petrified tree to give a more natural ambience.

Mechanical foot massager: $1 for 10 minutes. Made in Japan.
My favorite is #33.

OOOOOOhhhhh, I so wish I could go to one of those. JP has really been missing his twice-weekly massage therapy sessions and this looks sooooo relaxing!! Also, loved the flirt/die combination...
I prefer to put hot pieces of lava on my face and use a coral pillow. But I guess salt stones and wood pillow could be comfortable.
#33 seems to be the one with urethra LOL
Beautiful. Sir Steven, you appear to be in great peace.
That or you have been rendered unconscious by heat exhaustion.
Peace to you and Adrienne. From the snowy land of Ohio.
