I just had to share this because it’s so incredibly rare. I did a double take the first time I saw it. Sauna is pronounced incorrectly in the U.S. so often, that when you say it right people often don’t know even what you’re talking about.
“Had a great SOW-nah last night.”
“I’m sorry, come again?”
“SOW-nahs. They’re great.”
“What?”
“SAH-nah.”
“Oh, yes, I love those.”
If it has rocks on it, it takes water. There is no such thing as a “dry sauna.” Regardless of what the sign at the hotel says, where there are rocks, there should be water. No company in the world makes a sauna stove that is intended to be dry.
There. Now you can confidently sneak a large bottle of water into the sauna at your hotel so you can have a proper Finnish sauna.
Enjoy!
