As I had lunch with fellow employees at my work place, they said;
“There’s nothing more accommodating a good feeling than steam bath and Sauna, especially after work. Sauna is best for working class.”
With just that quote, I went to Baba Rise in Naalya in the evening at around 6:30pm.
On reaching, I was filled with a lot of excitement that I hardly observed the huge presence of the pot bellied men with their wives wearing over-sized black knickers.
What killed me was the receptionist’s rhetoric request, “REMOVE YOUR CLOTHES FROM BRA TO PANTIE. “??
For starters, unlike my previous imaginations, sauna has nothing to do with sex, it is a place for physical and mental cleaning. ?✔✔
Straight to my strikingly surprising experience!!
I stripped down to naked with an end result of wrapping myself with a “lesu” only after a series of self-mind debates.

After leaving the dressing room, I headed to the sauna and pushed open the door; what hit me first was the searing wave of heat and humidity that made it hard to catch my breath.
Oh well, I resisted the temptation and “hooo…., why do people even pay for this thing?” I thought to myself.
Same applied to the steam bath until I visited it several times and realised there was more to hell; I felt my face clearing, the aroma was just too sweet for my nose and most importantly; all the nasty rush I felt was all gone. ✔?
The day proceeded well not until a muhima wife from the last staircase spoilt it screaming to the attendant, “Oyine obushera n’amakama?”??
