I always enjoy being inside a sauna because it is really good in losing some fat deposits all over my body. I was delighted when I found out that in Finland, there is a number of saunas. It's like sauna really is a part of Finnish way of life and I really dig it because here, saunas come in different shapes and sizes.
I understand that long ago and maybe til now, the Finnish considered sauna as a holy place. This is because they associate sauna to all phases of a person's life. Finnish mothers used to deliver birth in this rooms during
World War II. Finnish folks are also accustomed to clean the body of their departed loved ones. Imagine that! They also believe that the warm temperature inside the room, could soothe the tired body as well as refresh the mind.
I also learned that they have "
sauna etiquette" imposed and observed in every sauna, be it in private or inside their own dwellings. Bathers are strictly prohibited to shout, curse, tell-tales, and do wayward behaviors inside the sauna. Proper conduct inside the place is even reinforced by the parents to their kids. Hence, you would surely find the best sauna experience only here in the country I dub as the "sauna capital of the world" -- Finland.
