While there were differences, there were also similarities. For example, like the Bathhouse, there were different entrances for male and female patrons.
The difference was that there was a middle door, where people of both sexes could join. The aborigines were startled (more like aghast) by this, but many Terrans had experienced this before and didn't mind.
Anyway, through any of the doors, they were led to a locker area and a shower area where they were expected to shed their things and cleanse themselves before entering the public baths.
After this, they'd go past a door covered by breathable linen curtains that loosely separated the inside from the outside. They only had to go through it to get to the next area, and they'd be greeted by the dreamy sight of pools, rocks, and vegetation layered by a gentle mist.
