Listen up, listen up. You too, Sir and Madam. If you're not rushed off your feet, gather round and listen. Come on, are you really so busy? I'm sure you can spare a moment to hear about 'sento', a popular part of our honorable and world-renowned Japanese culture. What I'm talking about are 'Public Baths' in English. Hold on, Sir. You shouldn't be so easily disappointed. In our country, they've evolved in a most unusual way, quite unlike any you'll find in other countries.

I shan't spoil your anticipation by telling you the ending of this story now. And you needn't worry, I'm not going to charge you afterwards for this, so why not go and enjoy a bath to wash away the dirt, and forget about the hustle and bustle of life. Part the 'noren' and enter. "Hey, Douzo!" ("Welcome!")
