...and then I found $5.

An exquisite collection of pointless stories

I’m sorry, but this is just awkward. Open 24 hours a day and seven days a week, Spa World’s 50,000-square-foot modernized jimjilbang—a traditional Korean bathhouse—whisks guests of all ages into a state of relaxation. A general-admission pass unlocks 24 consecutive hours of access to the spa’s bade pool, seven poultice rooms, sauna, and fitness center. Guests unwind in the bade pool’s nine water-blasting massage stations, including a jugular-relaxing neck shower and a bench jet that sprays high-pressure water onto feet, calves, waists, and sides to increase blood-circulation and wear away embarrassing sock tan lines (nudity is required to keep the pool free of clothing-based contaminants).

    Ew. What about people-based contaminants?

  9. iamtallandawesome said: whoa. our honeymoon resort had a similar spa that was bad ass but BATHING SUITS were (thankfully) required. awkward indeed.
