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
"Finns go to the sauna naked – and often together with family" ... these northern barbarians, imagine the scandal in the catholi south XD
ReplyDeleteMost of the Finns are Lutheran, but of course the sauna culture is much older than Christianity.
