Do you have a sauna?

[Rheinmetall]

I was wondering how far this weird habit has spread from scandinavia.

 

[Octavian X]

Nope, but I think one would be nice, for use after a long day's spamming...

 

[Stapel]

I considered buying / building one last year. But I decided other decadent improvements of my home had a bigger priority.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Kind of silly, in a hot tropical country like S'pore, but still there're many saunas about.

Never silly enough to being in one of those though...

 

[Turner]

I live in Kansas City. If I want a sauna, I just go outside. In the summer time, that is.

In most of the bigger hotels we have them, and they are around I'm sure in health clubs and gyms and the like, but I wouldn't know about that.

 

[u-gene]

Lots of them in Russia. Some time ago I visited one in Novosibirsk. Beer and sauna are considered as the best way of relaxation there.

Yeah, there're plenty of them in Karelia. So, when our Finnish friends come to Vyborg or other places in the region, they can always find them there.

 

[Ohwell]

Finns and their Saunas...

 

[col]

I'd like one but we're a bit short of birch twigs and snow.

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

Nope, I have a pool and a spa. I like sitting in the hot spa with a mist or light rain falling, cooling my head and presneting me a view of dynamic equilibrium betweeen the rising steam and the falling precipitation, very Zen.

 

[Immortal]

You have waaaaaay too easy of a life Lefty.

No, I have no sauna. I did, but now I dont.

 

[Archer 007]

Nope, surely dont. In fact, I dont know any people who have one, only some health clubs.

 

[Gothmog]

I'm not sure the concept spread from scandinavia - American Indians have used saunas (sweat lodges) for a long time - the Romans and Turks had them... My guess would be that the pleasure of a good sweat has been around about as long as civilization (no not the game).

Anyway, to answer your question. I don't have one. I did grow up with one though (california). I bought my first house a little over a year ago and my first big purchase for it was a hot tub. A sauna is definitely on my list.

 

[puglover]

Nope.

 

[Inter4]

saunas...I don't think many people have..now if you made a poll about jacuzzis..then...

 

[Richard III]

My apartment block has one, so I voted yes. Every condo or apartment block I've lived in in Toronto has a sauna as part of its gym complex.

 

[GenMarshall]

I dont have one. A Hot shower usualy does the trick

 

[thestonesfan]

I used to belong to a fitness center that had one, but there were always sweaty fat naked guys sitting in it. Then I got one for my house, and fat guys just started to show up. They're drawn to saunas, I tell you.

That second part isn't true. I don't have a sauna. Hell, I'm too cheap to take a hot shower.

That third part of the second sentence isn't true. I take hot showers.

 

[thedirk]

I like a good sauna or steam room. I don't have one, and as it is 38 degrees Celcius here right now I don't need one. But come winter it would be great!

 

[andrewgprv]

What is the deal with the finnish and saunas

 

[Aphex_Twin]

There must be a similar deal with Mexico and ice-cream.
