Funny Honeymoon Story Thread: We decided to go to Turkey for a mixture of city exploring in Istanbul and beach life in Antalya.
After walking a lot in Istanbul and being sore, I figured I would throw out the idea of getting a massage while in Antalya...

We found a place nearby with good reviews. Went by early and made an appointment and clearly stated we just wanted a massage. We showed up a few hours later and they were ready for us. We changed and now wearing just a towel. There is a clear language barrier fyi...
They tell us to go into the sauna for a few. Then a man comes in with just a towel on and asks us questions in broken English. "Scrub?" We look at each other and say "massage". He says it's not extra, part of the cost we agreed upon. So we're like okay...
He walks us into an all marble room where there is a man laying ass up and covered with soap. I look at my wife and her eyes are big. In my head I'm just saying "let's see where this goes...."
As the man is being scrubbed, I can see the visual horror from her face.

A few minutes later a female worker walks in with a guy and my wife motions for her thinking that she is there to scrub her. Nope. She scrubs some dude and my wife looks confused. A minute later, a tall man with a beer belly that speaks a few words of English motions for her...
He brings her into a more secluded area to scrub her and closes the door behind them. Mind you, I'm on the other side of the door and if she felt uncomfortable, I'd be right there. A few minutes later, she's giggling her ass off lol
Now it's my turn. Because I'm a big guy, when I get massages etc. they have no mercy on me. This dude scrubbed the shit out of me and I tried not to show any discomfort. I felt like a dirty dish and he had brillow pad gloves on lol
As he's pouring water on me to get rid of the soup, he keeps fucking with me by tossing water directly into my face lol
After this bathing experience, we realized that this was the "Turkish Bathhouse" experience. I'm as smooth as a baby's butt today lol

I generally don't research much when I travel because I want it to be authentic. This for sure was one of those authentic moments.
