Hello,

When I first visited Korea in 2012 I fell in love with the bathhouse
culture.  Particularly during DebCamp, I would like to organise some
trips to take a bath and unwind, and also do some hacking.

For those who don't know, Korean bathhouses have two aspects:

- bathing area, "sauna" -- baths with various temperatures of water;
  saunas; steam rooms; *no clothes* & sex-segregated

- jjimjilbang -- after taking a bath you put on some pyjamas they
  provide, and then you can hang out here and get food; sleep; get
  massages; play video games; and... hack on Debian!
  Not sex-segregated.

Not all venues have both.  It costs between 8000₩ and 15000₩ and usually
there is a nominal 12 hour time limit, sometimes shorter.
Things like food, inside, are more expensive than outside as you might
expect.

(I wouldn't like to go to the famous Spaland in the Shinsegae mall -- I
don't think it is good.  The one I most want to go to is near 온천장역.)

Please write to me if you are interested in going on these trips!
