Hi, LOBENGULA. Yes, the sauna+snow thing is actually true.

i hear its Finish tradition that after the sauna,people run into the snow naked
how far true is it

Yea it's true, but it's not like we do it always at winter when we go to sauna (try to figure someone running outside naked and rolling on the snow at middle of city)

[LOBENGULA]

wooo not my piece of cake..
so will munya wil actual experince that???

[Punde]

Unfortunately there is no snow on the ground yet. He should have come in mid-winter, lots of snow and -20 degrees C temperatures then

But if you have chance, on summer cottage or so (country side), it's fun! And after that you'll feel soooo good!

If they still have snow there then yes. At least he has ran around the house naked already!

Now Munya have experienced the "shrinker", pool with ice cold water in it and actual ice..
I guess that is simulator for our "avanto", a big hole in frozen lake.

That is actualy quite samething as rolling on snow, maybe even bit colder thing..

[LOBENGULA]

so he hed to run around the house naked

[Punde]

Interesting fact (?) about the Finnish peacekeepers for UN around the world, they always have a "portable" sauna with them. There is a myth that the first thing they do when they reach their base is to put up the sauna. No matter how hot the country is, we need a sauna that is even hotter.

That is actualy quite samething as rolling on snow, maybe even bit colder thing..

Icy water feels MUCH colder than rolling in the snow.

[^R_R^]

Icy water feels MUCH colder than rolling in the snow.

Yeah, that must be true, but it is so long from the last time i have been rolling in snow,
so I can only tell how cold water is..

And it is freaking cold!!

Well it is hard to describe, but if the weather is cold enough, first thing you feel is your "breath goes away"
(don't remember the real terms) and after you jump int the snow it feels like million tiny knives on your skin (but it feels good )
and after you go back to sauna it keeps tingling as long as you are warmed again..

I hope you understood even something from this

Good evening Aniekan
