You've heard of the all-familiar catchphrase "Doing as the Romans do, right? Now if you put that into the context of hot water-bathing in Budapest,
Hungary's capital, would you be glad they've invented that catchphrase at all? I've been in that familiar situation three months ago when I went to Budapest for a five-day vacation. And to tell you frankly, I never wanted to try it out in the first place.
Imagine your buttocks exposed for all the word to see, bathing with some locals that you barely even know, even old locals at that. Now I know why Budapest males hardly get arthritis. Just kidding, but with public baths like these (there are dozens of them everywhere), the way to handle the situation is to hop into the pool pretend like no one's ever noticed you and relax just like how the locals do over
thousands of years.
Budapest, is touted as the Spa City, is located within a network of hot and cold
mineral springs. It's a good thing to visit one or two of these public bath houses to reward your aching body after a long journey on foot. But if you are the conservative type than an exciting outdoor activity will do.
