going to a dutch or german spa (therme sauna) always doesnt fail to shock me. being brought in a conservative asian nation, we were always taught to dress conservatively--even bikinis are a no-no, unless you have a really great body--or you are ok to be stared and ogled at.
but going to a mixed spa where men and women share the same dressing room, toilet, walking around naked, going together naked in a sauna, swimming naked and even walking naked outdoors---it takes getting used to---but also feels very liberating, especially when there is no malice involved and it is just natural to be doing it.
it was also my first time to have a male masseur! (a man and a cute one at that) do a massage for me. It felt weird, but at the same time i just told him---just massage my back and shoulders please! and it was still a good massage, but of course i was so conscious of myself and kind of thinking of maybe he will try to touch my boobs or something, but of course he was a professional and it was a nice normal massage. i actually felt more pampered than usual.
but i do not think i am ready to see a colleague in a spa yet. that would indeed be weird!
on another note, an old friend of mine, Tine from PEMSEA, visited me in Breda, together with her german boyfriend, max.
