One thing I am truly going to miss in Korea is my monthly visits to the spa.
At first, I was apprehensive about going to a bath house/jjimjilbang.
Imagine a spa/hot springs back home.
Ok, you are in a gender-segregated area because...you are naked.
Yes, completely naked.
Now, get why they are segregated and why I was apprehensive?
The whole experience is fairly inexpensive.
It's about 5,000-6,000 won for the spa/sauna area and 8,000-10,000 won for the jjimjilbang area (staying over night).
Anyways, I love going to the spa/sauna because it's such a relaxing experience.
They have all these different temperature tubs and saunas.
Also, you can pay to get a scrub down (12,000-25,000 won) or you can do it yourself. It's amazing!
So I think you should give it a try, at least once, just to have the experience.
In a few weeks, I am going to actually stay the night in one so that'll be interesting.
Anyways, check out this website that give a great pictures/guide to the jjimjilbang. :)
All ready to go to at Spa Land in the world's largest department store-Shinsegae Centum City!
