Well, we have acquired our housemates. The Stocktons moved in last week and will be staying in our apartment as they look for their own and as we are out of country. They will be keeping our cat fed and loved in our absence.
We met Shad when we were interns and Jacob had the pleasure of venturing out to Africa in his company while I was in Papua New Guinea. His wife, Rachel, who neither of us had previously met, turned out to be a delightful woman, a choice expected from a man like Shad.
As a bonding experience, the four of us took a trip to the King's Spa and Sauna a few days after their arrival. It was an experience to say the least. The first segment was a communal soak where gender specific rooms expected us to get quite undressed to soak in tubs of varying temperatures and herbs.
From there, we were given uniforms (of which the men's were significantly more attractive) and were able to venture into co-ed rooms with an array of properties. The favorite of our husbands was the Fire Sudatorium, known for it's 200 degree temperature. Rachel and I braved it for a total of 60 seconds. The men held out until they departed drenched with sweat. Rachel enjoyed the Ice Room which was a bit to frigid for the rest of us. The men went to watch Korean movies in the theatre while Rachel and I went to the Air Room, which featured that perfect temperature where you don't know where the air ends and your skin begins and the scent of oak, where we took an hour nap.
It was definitely fun and Rachel and I will not hesitate to return. And thanks to the Fire Sudatorium and the theatre, our men will be willing to take us back!

If the male sauna uniforms looked better than the female, then the designer was inspired by nature and most of the animal kingdom. I hope that you enjoyed the spa despite the less attractive uniforms.
