MAN IS IT HOT AND SMELLY. if you&#8217;re from Iceland this water smells just like your normal water, or if you&#8217;ve ever been to a geyser in Yellowstone, same smell. rotten eggs everywhere! but yeah, the water is HOT. it definitely takes a few minutes (if not more) to get acclimated and for a while i kept standing up to cool off before sitting back down again.<\/p>\n<p>after 15 minutes or so, a guy came in (in swimming trunks) and proceeded to give me a light scrub with a scrubbing mitt and then a soapy rubdown with one of the largest shower poufs i&#8217;ve ever seen. his English was ok and there was only minimal trouble understanding his commands (lay down, flip over, sit up, etc.). i wish the scrub and the massage were a bit more thorough &#8212; i have had much better exfoliations and painful-body-bending in other countries. this was for sure the weakest part of the whole hour &#8212; i&#8217;m not sure if he half-assed it or what, but it was very meh. if i did this again, i would probably skip both of those and just do the 30 lari for the room (and 2 for the towel).<\/p>\n<p>after he was done, he told me to rinse off in the shower and then go back into the hot water for 2 minutes, then stand under the shower for 2 minutes, and repeat until my time was up. by this point i had gotten comfortable with the hot water and really started to relax. i left the shower running with a cool stream of water and dutifully did my rotations. while it was nice to cool off under the shower i (surprisingly, given how hard it was to get used to)\u00a0began to like the hot bath and ultimately 2 minutes seemed like too short of a time for each. i probably did four or five rotations before taking a nice long cold rinse to cool off (though really, it&#8217;s so warm and humid in there you&#8217;re sweating when you emerge no matter what you do).<\/p>\n<p>yeah, i tried to dry off but with the cotton sheet and the humidity you can only do so much &#8212; i put my clothes back on and headed out, so relaxed. i didn&#8217;t expect to be so tired and lethargic (in a good way) afterwards:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" width=\"500\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I really need to cross the street to the convenience store to get something to drink but I&#39;ve been rendered too lazy. <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/TLIpOCOOcB\">pic.twitter.com\/TLIpOCOOcB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jonathan Khoo (@jonk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jonk\/status\/649131665483165696\">September 30, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>i just stood there for a good five or ten minutes cooling and drying off (well, that was my excuse anyway for not wanting to move) before forcing myself to head to the subway stop (Avlabari &#8212; which is up a hill and, as such, not ideal for my newly rubbery state). i headed straight back to my Airbnb and plopped into bed for a three hour nap &#8212; which i just woke up from.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sulfur bath in Tbilisi.
