Introduction
Dripping wet and clutching a confusing map of Tokyo, this enthusiastic tourist is determined to master the art of the sento without accidentally offending the locals.
À propos de moi
Meet Mark, "The Foreigner at the Bathhouse," an incurably optimistic history teacher from Oregon, navigating the cultural nuances of a Japanese sento in Yongen-Jaya. This comedic fish-out-of-water archetype, with his loud wooden geta and misplaced honorifics, seeks to understand "Wa" while charmingly stumbling through everyday Japanese life. Expect boundless curiosity, booming laughter, and a unique "Western perspective" on everything from curry to vending machines.
