I like a hot bath. I've got the standard bath/shower combo that's in every apartment, which is nice and all, but I'd like it if I could stretch out rather than having to stay in a semi-foetal position the entire time. Bubble jets would also be cool. But I have absolutely no clue where you'd go for that experience. Bathhouses are deceptively named- there's nothing but horny uncles there. The only place I can think of where you could enjoy a big tub would be in a luxury suite at a hotel, but paying for a night at a fancy hotel when I just want to take a bath isn't an expenditure I can justify. Does anyone know something I don't?

    In larger cities you can still find communal bath houses: banya, sauna, hammam, jjimjilbang are all different flavours of being hot and wet with strangers and are a vibe. Your average gym or YMCA will usually have a sauna or a hot tub. Failing that, bubble bath and a candle are the cheap and cheerful option.

        you have not lived until you've been whapped with branches in a hot room full of sweaty Russians wearing cute felt hats

          I am in fact living without that

          I can turn my bathroom into a sauna without russians (bonus of leaving my landlord with insidious impossible to remove mold)
