		<description><![CDATA[Krakow is windy and raining.  The Polaci are prepared with sturdy functional umbrellas.  What little water evades their cover is sloughed away by the aerodynamic lift streamlined around their sloping noses.  At only around 1/2 Rzeczpospolitan Jew, I got soaked on the way to and from Szpital Miejski Specjalistyczny, where Daniel is draining fluid from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given the dearth of reliable English-language information about the various banyas in town, and emboldened by my inexplicable first-page listings on Google search results for &#8220;new jersey banya&#8220;, &#8220;lazy gringo&#8220;, &#8220;wall street banya&#8220;, &#8220;beat up black guy&#8220;, and belovezhskaya pushcha, I&#8217;ll tell you all about Mermaid Spa in Sea Gate, Brooklyn, making sure to further [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My class is becoming more relaxed and informal now that we have completed the core material.  The kids, who I would presume range in age from mid-twenties to what I appears to be late fifties or early sixties, have become comfortable enough with the course, the material, and the general environment, to enjoy making wisecracks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These are tough times.  Maybe that&#8217;s why Spa 88, the Wall St banya, was relatively quiet today.  I arrived early, at around 4:30 and parked myself at a small table in the back lounge area, where ratty couches separated by ill-fitting arabesque dividers and a flat-screen television distract the towel-clad clientele from the mild stench [...]]]></description>
