Korean spa (Jjimjilbang) ( 찜질방 )

Jjimjilbang is a large, gender-segregated public bathhouse in Korea, furnished with hot tubs, showers, Korean traditional kiln saunas and massage tables.

in other areas of the building or on other floors there are unisex areas, usually with a snack bar, ondol-heated floor for lounging and sleeping, wide-screen TVs, exercise rooms, ice rooms, heated salt rooms, PC bang, noraebang, and sleeping quarters with either bunk beds or sleeping mats.

Usually Jjimjilbangs will have various rooms with different temperatures to suit guests’ preferred relaxing temperatures. The walls are decorated with different woods, minerals, crystals, stones, and metals. This is to make the ambient mood and smell more natural.

you can enjoy saunas with a snack such as hard boiled eggs and Sikkhye (sweet rice drink). when you crack the eggs,  there is a game in korea. that is crack the eggs on each other’s heads ! if you’re egg isn’t cracked, you might get horrible pain  more than you ever imagined !
