On the same trip, we went somewhere every day because it was summer,
we went to Kaivopuisto, Linnanmäki amusement park and Korkeasaari zoo, everywhere.
Then became the end of the week. My mom had done the same thing from year to year,
that she went to a public sauna, where there was the women's side and the men's side.
In the corner of Helsinginkatu street there was a sauna like this.
There were washer ladies. My mom was used to that the ladies washed her back and hair and everything.
You just had to lay down on the table. Well, mom wanted that her daughters get to enjoy that too.
Me and my sister ran away when we realized that it's going to be our turn
and the woman we didn't know will start to wash us.
That became a real show... Our mom got angry of course because she didn't realize
how afraid we were of everything new and strange.
