I’d never heard of a Jjimjilbang before I’d read Adam Greenfield write about inspaworld in New York, an outpost of this Korean take on the sauna. It seems a little different from the Finnish version though, which is usually quite private and dark and more intimate. Inspaworld is like the sauna meets Disney on Ice. Another interesting thing is its use of RFID technology which means once through the door you have a seamless experience inside.
