Talk:Jjimjilbang

Why does the key strap go on the ankle? --Dogshed 16:41, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

I dunno. Maybe to keep from snagging your hair when you wash it with your hands? It's not a 'have to' thing. Some people put it on their wrist, but most put it on their ankle.--Galbijim 21:19, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

Are you saying you have to walk around naked before getting your towel? --Dogshed 16:41, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

I usually grab a towel after changing at my locker before I go into the sauna. I prefer drying off in there. You can grab a toewl and tie around your waist, if you want. It'll look odd surrounded by all the naked bodies, but to each their own. Remember that in Jjimjilbangs, you'll have a robe to wear, whereas the smaller mogyoktangs, they don't.--Galbijim 21:19, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

In a movie two guys scrubbed each other's back. Is this something you only do with friends? Will someone ask me to scrub his back? --Dogshed 16:51, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

Usually done between friends. But some Koreans tend to go really out of their way to treat you with hospitality, so I'm sure there are some expats with stories of someone being friendly like this. Never happened to me, though.--Galbijim 21:10, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
