Korean Sauna

Finns cannot live without sauna they say, so today we headed to a local “chimchilbang” sauna and spa. I went there with Lea, another Finnish girl and ended up being there for like 3 hours. This chimchilbang had saunas with different temperatures (of course we chose the one with 90C degrees) as well as Jacuzzis/hot tubs and a cold water pool. You could just relax, have a massage and so forth. The spa side with the pools was for women only, but if you wanted to go to the common area they gave you a t-shirt and shorts to wear in the mixed saunas. (Like it wouldn’t be sweaty enough!) Also for the busy Koreans it was normal to use a cell phone in the sauna as well.
