When sauna is a part of life

In Finnish culture, sauna is a substantial part of the culture. For Finnish people sauna is a place to relax with friends and family, a place for physical and mental relaxation. Finns think of saunas not as a luxury, but as a necessity. There are five million inhabitants and over three million saunas in Finland, an average of one per household. But how many saunas are in the universalism?

I hate saunas. Possibly because in our house the shower is inside the sauna, and it has to be heated up when spending time in there, or it'll be slimy and possibly have centipedes running about.
