Being known as a Finn living in the US, sometimes people send me pointers to things Finnish.
Now, this weekend is obviously the Eurovision song contest (you all knew that, right?). And I expect Finland to do as well as it usually does ("Finland, nul point" - it's a national tradition!), and you can spend up to several minutes on youtube transfixed by the glory, or just start from the official home page [1].
But before that glorious tradition had time to take off, Tim Elliott sent me this gem of Finnish culture seen from the outside: the sauna championships [2].
What can I say? We have a sauna in our house. Even if we don't use it all that often, it's a Finnish thing.
