I didn’t quite know but I didn’t think it mattered. What struck me most about the sento was not the baths or the appointments, but the assistants....I had thought the sento were generally gender segregated and I would have thought I walked into the wrong one, except that I noticed a fair number of men in the baths, each attended by one or more young women. My towel was less adequate than before. An attendant wearing a simple geisha style robe noticed my confusion and came to assist me, speaking. Inka ma akka bath roomlo snanam chesetappudu chudadam. aame mutram chesetappudu a sound vini anandichadam.aame latrin poyina taruvata a roomloki velli a smell chustu na sullini kottukovadam alantivi anna mata. ika story loki velite ma akka peru Srujala ippudu ame dregree chduvutondi. neenu ma akka okee roomlo vundi chaduvutuntamu. oka rojuneenu ma akka room lo chaduvutunnamu . appude naku oka idea vacchindi neenu koncham na night pant ni kindaki dimpanu. appudu na black chaddi bayatiki. My pride was all that was really hurt, but in the locker rooms later that day, as I crossed the mirrors in anticipation of a nice hot shower, I noticed a small bruise on my cheek, right where she had hit me."You hit pretty hard for a girl," I said to Carla as we got undressed, and showed her my knew shiner."Omigosh, I'm sorry," she said, touching it gingerly. If it hurt, I didn't notice, because she had stopped undressing after removing her sports bra and was topless in front of me. Now, Carla. I'll wait out here in the living room. Come out when you are ready, and we'll take some pictures. Remember, girls, I want you to look as sexy as you know how."The girls took their bags in the bedroom and closed the door."Jeez, he gave us each a thousand dollars! I can't believe it!" Chris whispered."Listen, he gets real hot," Nancy said. "We can make a lot more too. If he wants to do more than just take pictures, we say that's all we wanna do, that the thousand was for that, and he'll give us.
