Wow.
Yesterday I went to check out another sauna called "Chakran."
*******Chakran Website******
I really can't explain the dreamlike ambiance. The decor was very Moroccan. The lighting was magical. The transition from indoor to outdoor was so seemless, you're never totally in or out. It just felt so luxurious, the pool, the tiles, the billowing curtains, the hidden courtyards. The photos on the website really don't say it. It's so weird, when things are dumpy here, they're really dumpy and dirty, but anything nice is so extreme. I felt like I stumbled into some exclusive place for millionares.Hardly anyone was even in there when I went. I think you have to know when to go.. unlike Babylon, which is always crowded. But honestly, this place was so gorgeous you'd want to stay for all the legitimate reasons: food, steam, sauna, pool, gym. You really get a lot for 6 bucks.
I spent the last few days working. Yes, this is a working trip. It takes many days and long hot sweaty hours in the market getting costumes made, it's not like shopping. But, I'm going to own the only collection of real-girl-sized showgirl costumes! You got a "Vegas" or "Carnivale" theme going on, I'm the one to call!
Tomorrow I'm off to 'Nam. I hear they make a lovely agent orange glazed chicken.
