\"\"Check this out.\u00a0 The JETAA DC Book Club is not only reading a book about Japanese baths for its next meeting (Getting Wet:\u00a0 Adventures in the Japanese Bath<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Eric Talmadge), it’s actually planning on holding the discussion at SpaWorld, the Korean spa chain that has a location in the D.C. area.<\/p>\n

According to JETAA DC book club organizer Daniel Knowlton<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It’s a great non-fiction tour of the public baths and hot springs around Japan – their history and their culture – told through personal anecdotes of an American who has lived in Japan for 20+ years straight. For those who loved the public baths, it will bring up fond memories, and for those who haven’t, you still have the chance to try out an Asian-style bath here in the DC area…<\/p>\n

…Because we’re meeting at Spa World to talk about the book! This place is the real deal. It’s run by a Korean family, and they’ve done the Asian-style bathing just right. That means gender-separated baths with no clothes allowed! After you bathe, you can put on Spa World’s yellow pj’s and try out the many sauna rooms. The common room also has lounging chairs, free wireless internet, snacks, and drinks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please RSVP to Dan<\/a> by June 21st if you want to go.<\/p>\n

Date:<\/strong> Sunday, June 28th
\nTime:<\/strong> Morning-ish
\nPrice:<\/strong> $35 (gets you in to all rooms\/baths, and lets you stay for 24 hours!)
