the NYC bath house costs $35 to get in, the one here is $30. Russians love fancy shit, and building and running a bathhouse is expensive. There is no russian analogue to our American fetishization of financial insecurity.
When I went to Moscow I was surprised to see that 5'8" looked like the median height for a man my age there. Then someone pointed out that we were teens in the 90s, when almost 50% of Russians were living under their poverty line. I was seeing the long term result of a generation starving during their growing years.

I'm interested in the real deal bathhouses with working class Russian guys splashing themselves east village style .., not so much where a tech girl like me would pay for $200 yoga classes with my girlfriend sex in the city style or getting my douchebag boyfriend to pay for me with his bonus .. :)Let's find a punk rock spa! Oh wait isn't Andrew founding one?
Sent from my iPhoneYou have to be silent at the Japanese one. And it's not co-ed, so my male friends report a very strong pick up vibe.

http://www.kabukisprings.comIs Kabuki springs any good?I'm highly into this Russian Bath / Turkish bath experience.Turkish bathhouses kept my sanity during cold Berlin winters... I think the post-bathhouse experience drinking wine and eating cake with our toes curled around persian carpets is just as awesome..On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 9:55 PM, Andrew <andrew@roshambomedia.com> wrote:It looks awesome.

You have to ask for it.A lot if people wear bathing suits especially lately. But also a lot if ppl take them off after a while when they realize it is normal to be naked.It's funny, I was there once thinking, "obviously this isn't a sex bathhouse, there are women here." Because an all male bathhouse would obv be for gay sex. Ha.
