Experience in German ‘Therme’ as a Filipina
Who the hecks swims in an outdoor pool in the freezing cold winter?!
The water is warm though. Although, steam comes out in contact with the freezing cold air and rain in Bavaria.
Germans would go as far as exposing their babies and toddlers to this extreme environment. I find it very odd and surprising. It is three days past since our trip and we are surprisingly okay and turned out relaxed. I had the best sleep for how many months I could remember.
I really missed the water and swimming. It is far from the salty, sandy beaches of my secluded town in the Philippines but at least, I got to flap my fins. I am really happy and I enjoyed the experience.
There was also a really nice German lady who volunteered to take our group picture. That really warmed my heart.
Overall, I am slowly adjusting to be confident in a swimsuit. People there of all shapes and sizes do not really care of how you look in a bathing suit. The open mindedness and relaxed atmosphere made it easy to be confident in my own skin.
Overall, I had a nice and wonderful time.
