One of these things is without a doubt sitting in a wooden sauna and hold on as long as you possibly can. Here is the sauna some class mates and I went to on April fools day - just to make a point :)
A typical sign of when you most likely will start running for the door any second is when yet another Finnish guy throws water on the sauna stones. The temperature gauge shows 120+ degrees celsius, your ears feels like they will fall off any second, and your skin is telling you that tiny needles are poking you everywhere.
You run out - and there, much to your relief is the ice covered lake! Aaaaw, bliss.
So, here I am - in lake Näsijärvi.
Imponerande, Katrine Elida!!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the birch branches! Whack your fellow sauna-goers with the birch!
ReplyDeleteNow see, the birch whacking is just pure pain :) Luckily, not even the Finns did any whacking here. Must mean they are sensible and reasonable people.
