We are back, well, almost all of us. Only about half of the class is back. I guess all our classmates are extending their holidays of few days ;)Class started at full speed and tomorrow we have already the test for Unit 16. As you can see from the picture, the unit 16th talks about Hot Baths in Japan which are called 露天風呂 (ろてんぶろ). It's the first time I hear this word. Before I've heard about 温泉 (おんせん) which means Hot Spring. Apparently the first one is more to define a hot bath in the Open, while the second one is a more general term for a hot bath.
If you want to take a hot bath near Kobe, there is a well known place called "Arima" where they have many Onsens. I went there once. One thing you should know is that in Japan, hot bath are separated for man and women, and another thing is that you cannot wear anything, you have to enter the bath bare naked.
The temperature in Arima, when I went there, was around 42°C. I can tell you that I like to take a nice hot bath at home, but 42°C is really a lot! I could only stay in there like 5 minutes! (and it took me about 10 minutes to manage to enter it slowly!)
If you want to read more, you can find a wikipedia article and few links here.
