Finally, I discovered the truth behind that strange chair and I could hardly believe it.

It turned out that it wasn’t just a weird piece of furniture or a yoga device: it was a steam bath for the pelvic area, a heat treatment that sometimes includes herbs and is used to relieve inflammation in female organs.

So my neighbors were actually using it! They would sit on that strange chair, let the steam do its work… and then simply threw it out on the street as if nothing had happened.

Now I feel torn: on one hand, it’s good to know it had a medical purpose; on the other hand, every time I see them I won’t be able to help remembering that scene and laughing at how unusual it was.

The image of that chair abandoned on the sidewalk has stayed in my mind.

I would have never imagined coming across something like that in everyday life. And I wonder, have you ever heard of something like this?

Or even tried it? Human curiosity and the things we find on the street truly never stop surprising us.
