Topic-Visiting a Japanese Public Bath
Nate by Ann Phil by Tammy

Nate: Hey Phil. Have you ever been to a Japanese public bath? I hear it's quite an experience.

Phil: Yes, and what an experience.

Nate: What do you mean? I’m curious that there are differences between Japanese public bath and Taiwan’s.

Phil: Yeah, they are a little bit different.

Nate: Really? So what do you do when you go to a public bath? Can you describe that?

Phil: First, you take off your shoes before you enter.

Nate: Okay.

Phil: Then, you pay an entrance fee to the man or woman at the front counter. [Um-huh]. Next, you get undressed in the dressing room. And I was very surprised . . . and a little embarrassed to see that the woman who took my money was sitting on a platform where she had a clear view of the men's side of the dressing room. [Really?] This allows the workers to keep an eye on the patrons' belongings while they are in the bath.

Nate: Wow. And do you wear a swimming suit or something?

Phil: Oh no! You don't wear anything. Then you go into the main bathing area and wash your body while sitting on a small stool about 40 centimeters high.

Nate: Do not wear anything? Wow, that’s cool but embarrassing. In Taiwan, we always worry others’ looking at us, so we wear swimming suits when we enter the main bathing area. By the way, we don’t wash our body and sit on a small stool.

Phil: Yeah. It was really hard getting used to bathing in that position. Sometimes, people wash each other's back.

Nate: Oh really. But it’s impossible in Taiwan because everyone takes shower in separate space. And what do you do after that?

Phil: Well, after you've rinsed off all the soap, they usually have two or three large baths where you can soak for a while.

Nate: Do you actually share the bath with other people?

Phil: Yeah. Traditionally, the bath played an important role in the community. It gave neighbors an opportunity to socialize while bathing.

Nate: Huh. Interesting. I think it really helped people to open their mind and develop interpersonal skills. So, what can we do after we’ve done bathing?

Phil: When you're all done bathing, people relax in the dressing room by watching TV, drinking tea or juice, or talking to friends. It's quite an experience.

Don：All those do have antioxidants, but I want to be on safe side。
Tom：We’ll just have to agree to digress。

Mary was jogging in the park one early morning, and she saw Vivi.


Mary: Hey Vivi, what are you doing here at 6 in the morning? I thought you
should be sleeping and snoring like a pig in bed.

Vivi: Well, Long story. I stood on the scale last night after shower, and I
found that my weight exceeded 70 kilograms. So I decided to wake up early
everyday and jog for at least 30 minutes.

Mary: Wow...well, I have to be honest with you that you do look a little
chubbier than last time I see you. I thought your boyfriend prefers skinny
girls, then how come he never complains?

Vivi: He does, and that's why I am even more certain that I need to start
working out and eat more healthily.

Mary: Yeah, I've heard that obesity has become a worldwide problem nowadays.
People become too busy to have healthy meals or to take their time eating.

Vivi: Well...in my case, it's not really about not having time to eat
healthy food. It's more of an issue that I don't excercise, and I eat too
much.

Mary: So what do you usually have for meals?

Vivi: McDonald products, and I usually have four meals a day.

Mary: Those are definitely no good for you. I usually have more vegetables
than meat or starch for lunch and dinner.

Vivi: I dream about more vegetables than I actually eat.

Mary: Haha. It's ok ,Vivi. It is ok to be fat, but not THIS fat. We should
come up with a plan for you to go on a diet.

Vivi: Yeah, I would love to do that. What do you have in mind?

Mary: We will meet here in the park everyday and excercise. How does that
sound for you?

Vivi: Sure, but what do we eat afterwards?

Mary: I will come up with a menu for both of us. I'm sure that if you eat
like I do, you should lose a lot of weight in no time.

Vivi: That'll be GREAT!!! But where do you find those menus?

Mary: I am a professional nutritionist.

Vivi: So do I need to pay you?

Mary: Of course.

Vivi: Then no thanks. Bye bye.

Mary: There's no ugly woman in the world, there're only fat lazy woman
without money.
