Grand Spa stuff

I went to Grand Spa last week... I like going there because it's a great deal at $10 on weekdays and the facility is pretty good.

Anyway they seem to be actively trying to prevent inappropriate activity there. The doors to the sleeping room (back off the TV room) and the other warm floor room (across from the lockers) have been removed, and the sleeping room mats have been replaced with recliners, and another TV has been put into that room. At least both rooms are dark, though.

But it's annoying because none of them are really quiet with the missing doors.

Also, an attendant seemed to check the steam room every 5-10 minutes.

A friend of mine was there earlier this week, though, and didn't notice an attendant checking the steam room. However, he did tell me that they seem to have raised the weekday price to $15. Hmm.

TV Show Visits a KSpa

The TV show "Grandfathered" had an episode a couple of days ago where they visited a Korean spa.

The main character (played by John Stamos) joins his coworkers at a spa... He makes jokes about seeing them naked in the locker room (yawn)... Then he wears a robe through the entire visit. (Guessing Stamos is not in his peak shape and doesn't want to be seen shirtless)... All they showed was the locker room and dry sauna. Everyone wore towels all the time. There was a woman(!) folding towels in the men's area. There was a creepy older gay white guy cruising in the locker room. (OK, that might be a little accurate...hahahaha)

Anyway, not a great depiction of Korean spas.

Another Wi Spa Groupon

There's another deal for Wi Spa on Groupon... $15 for full entry. Use the code CANDY25 to get 25% off... So you only pay $11.25. You can buy two, but you have to do them in separate transactions in order to use the discount code both times.
