As an exchange student going to the sauna is more or less a mandatory thing to do. It is also nice because you can see other locals than just students there. We went to Rauhaniemi sauna together. It was a nice place to watch and discuss about finish culture and our impressions of the people. We talked about that we think most Finns are more introverted and not that non-verbal communicators. But this can change if you need help or make a step towards them. We agreed on that we have a different sense of humor than them (sorry Finns sometimes we don’t understand your jokes:D). A very impressive thing was their ability to stay in the freezing cold water for such a long time! Is it genetics or training? At the end we also did the traditional barbecue and ate some sausages like real Finns do.
