Koohii stories:

1) [Raichu] 18-4-2007(192): Remember those poor commoners huddled in groups of 20 in a cave? The only thing they had for a seat was some old toweling (while their lords could recline on luxurious couches).

2) [epsilondelta] 14-12-2009(62): PRIMITIVE: Cave + twenty = Finnish sauna (instead of Heisig's "caverns", which I'd confuse with "cave"). STORY: You don't directly sit on the wooden seat in the sauna – rather, you put a towel underneath.

3) [mikedough2] 3-1-2008(49): You're tired from walking the tour at this cavern and there's no benches to sit down on, so you take a towel and sling it up into a hammock-like seat using the stalagmites. (Big no-no).

4) [Ramchip] 17-7-2008(36): You're in an onsen cavern, peeping at the pretty young girls wearing only a towel… when suddenly Chris Hansen appears. "Please take a seat".

5) [b0ng0] 2-2-2009(13): If you want to take a seat in the caverns, they're often pretty damp - best to lay down a towel first before getting a wet ass.
