A DAY WITH DR. TURSOON INSIDE THE 'BAANYAA'(BATHING CLUB) OF KIEV.

DEAR GLOBAL CITIZENS,
                                                    HELLO.GOOD MORNING.WELCOME BACK.KIEV HAD SEVERAL BATHING CLUBS KNOWN AS 'BAANYAAS'.THE BAANYAA CONSISTED OF A HOT AND COLD SWIMMING POOL,HOT AND COLD HEAVY WATER SHOWERS,WOODEN SAUNA BATH,FREE BODY MASSAGE,GYM,BAR,SWIMMING COACH AND A DISCOTHEQUE.
THE TEMPERATURE WAS -20 DEGREE CELSIUS.WE TRAVELLED 40 KILOMETRES FAR FOR THE BAANYAA.IT WAS A BIG BAANYAA.THERE WERE SMALLER BAANYAAS NEARBY.
WE ENTERED INSIDE,HAD A COLD WATER SHOWER THEN HOT WATER SHOWER.AFTER THAT WE WENT INSIDE THE WOODEN SAUNA.WE SWEATEDFOR 2 HRS.AFTER THAT WE WENT TO THE MASSAGE PARLOUR.
I HAD SOME VODKAS(ASTALICHNAYA VODKA).THIS VODKA IS VERY FAMOUS WORLDWIDE.WE SPENT FEW HRS. INSIDE THE BAANYAA AND HAD GREAT RELAXATION.
BOTH MALE AND FEMALE WERE NUDE AND TAKING SHOWERS TOGETHER DESPITE OF THEIR CLOSE FAMILY RELATIONS.THE BOYS AND GIRLS LIVE IN THE SAME HOSTEL AND SOMETIMES TAKE SHOWERS TOGETHER IN GROUPS.
WE RETURNED BACK TO OUR HOSTEL.I WAS ONCE PUSHED BY MY SWIMMING COACH(OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST) IN A VERY DEEP WATER(10FT.)I WAS LEARNING TO SWIM.I HAD NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO USE THE TAUGHT TECHNIQUE TO COME OUT OF THE WATER.
I ONCE THOUGHT THAT I HAD TO FACE THE DEATH SUDDENLY.BUT ESCAPED.WE FELT AS IF WE HAD NO TENSION FOR THE NEXT 1 MONTH AFTER THE BAANYAA.
FAITHFULLY,
