What seemed weird when I visited your country

That's awesome, but hardly an "(of course)"!
Skewbrow:
Having a sauna IS a high priority to me (and other Finns). Comparative stats about Finland: 3.2 million saunas, 2.5 million cars, 5.4 million people. Cars overtook saunas in the 80s/90s and the country was fucked up for a while. But now that modern flats have their own saunas (as opposed to one or two saunas per a housing complex), the saunas have recovered. I was elated to learn this bit of trivia just now. Warm thanks to you for making me google it up.

One sauna over here, please! :-D
Paul, I had a similar style shower when I was in a suite-style dorm. There was a shower curtain and a small (about 5" high) splashguard at the bottom of the shower, but the shower and floor were tiled the same way and there was a drain in the middle of the floor as well (and another in the shower area). A whole open room sounds awesome.

Ha, that's interesting! I had a friend in college whose family was from Finland (They live in the US now), and they had a sauna. I visited him for a few days, and it was glorious. I had no idea it was a cultural thing - I just thought they were fancy, because I'd never known anyone with their own sauna before. You really only see them in spas here.

I wish I had one.
