Thor's Day Throws

One of the most-known and also commonly misunderstood piece of information regarding Finland and then some previews of the coming movies. And it pronounced "sau-na", not "soo-na". It is supposed to make one clean, both physically and mentally, not being and getting dirty...


:sauna:

SAUNA

The “sauna” feeling.

Sauna is a holy place for Finns. This is a country with 3.2 million saunas and 5.4 million people. Finns go to the sauna naked – and often together with family. Every Finn has her/his own sauna routine, but it always cleanses mind and body. It’s a sauna state of mind.

--- End of Finn writing about Finland ---

  • Two fantastical monster movies from very talented Geoffrey
  • Vikings, Orcs, Scots - do they something in common, other than painted my Mike?
  • Successors for Successors, that's of course the weekly historical movie from Jez
  • Can you guess what comes from Lee this week, may be something small for War of the Roses
  • Sailing with Andrew
  • Travelling in Rome by Peter
  • Passionately working with horses, that's Rob
  • Thor's Day has been infested with Turnips, we let Byron explain this

    1. Most of the Finns are Lutheran, but of course the sauna culture is much older than Christianity.
