Final Presentation

Ok, so I'll start with a simple question that you can think about in the three minutes I will talk..

Can you imagine yourself in a situation where you are in a 5 people sauna with for example 2 girls and 3 guys all naked ?

In Finland we think that it sauna is only a place for purification and relaxation, also for social purposes sauna is one of the best places to meet new people, open up a conversation with total strangers  etc. For example, in the old days sauna was used as a place to give birth, because the warmth of sauna eases the pain and also there was believed to be some sort of spirits that give good fortune for the newborn.

I myself would never go naked in public, instead of a public sauna, just because in sauna, there is no sexual tension and everybody is in the same situation.

So just some thoughts on the matter from a finnish guy. Feel free to ask questions, perhaps I can clarify something..

here is a funny documentary about finnish people :D it is in english, don't take it too seriously :D haha

About the final presentation

Jou jou jou, wad' up dawgs ?
Ok, so I thought of talking about our I think pretty original culture of going to the sauna.
I think not too many countries go to mixed saunas fully naked (men and women at the same time) or just wearing a towel, but men are always naked. To us it is normal, but I think most of the people in our class has some different views about it, so I would like to open that up a bit, just talk about what is behind this way of thinking. Just pop up questions what you would like to know and perhaps I can find info or speak atleast for myself as a finnish guy.

Something like this perhaps..
