Yups… I’m not lying… the title says exactly what I did! Ok, let’s start from the top. In Finland, sauna is a super tradition – apparently the no. of saunas is such that there is one sauna per 3 Finns! Anyway other than the sauna being a tradition, taking a dip in the sea after the sauna is also a tradition! And it doesn’t matter even if it’s winter – they will just dig a hole in the ice and then get into the water… talk about wooooah.
Anyway, I didn’t have the courage to do it in winter. Haha, but I did it last night… which was almost as cold as winter (it was 1degree last night). Muahaha – so I can now proudly say that I’ve gone into a freezing sea in Finland. Hehe. It was quite fun actually… cos at first I only put my feet in… and I was like “Alamak! Damn cold!” then after that I got my whole body in… for only less than a minute lah (I said dip… haha not swim). Then I just stood by the sea for a while, and that’s when a nice feeling will come cos the 1deg environment felt tingly “warm” in comparison to the sea. Haha.
And oh ya, did I mention that in Finland, you do sauna naked? Hahaha! But I was not brave enough… so I still had my towel wrapped around me. And I got to see a lot of naked girls… which felt weird at first... but then after a while I got used to it... haha.
