For those who loved the public baths, it will bring up fond memories, and for those who haven&#8217;t, you still have the chance to try out an Asian-style bath here in the DC area&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Because we&#8217;re meeting at Spa World to talk about the book!  This place is the real deal.  It&#8217;s run by a Korean family, and they&#8217;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&#8217;s yellow pj&#8217;s and try out the many sauna rooms.  The common room also has lounging chairs, free wireless internet, snacks, and drinks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Please <a href=\"mailto:daniel.a.knowlton@gmail.com\">RSVP to Dan<\/a> by June 21st if you want to go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> Sunday, June 28th<br \/>\n<strong>Time:<\/strong> Morning-ish<br \/>\n<strong>Price:<\/strong> $35 (gets you in to all rooms\/baths, and lets you stay for 24 hours!)<br \/>\n<strong>SPA World website:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.spaworldusa.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.spaworldusa.com\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 by Eric Talmadge), it&#8217;s actually planning on holding the discussion at SpaWorld, the Korean spa chain that has a location in the D.C. area.
