1. I mean obviously you might need to call the sauna.

2. [In Strasbourg](https://www.google.fi/maps/@48.5917357,7.7658752,3a,75y,260.24h,92.84t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sR2me1BCJjRO6e9lSAtONFA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en-GB), France, if anyone is wondering.

3. Can Finns with a sauna emergency while in a foreign country stop by and use it?

4. How else you get into the sauna, if you’re invited to the sauna?

5. Kekkonen negotiated quite a lot with different people in a sauna, so there might be a good reason for this. Maybe there’s high-level talks going on

6. Bad editing does not a video better make.

7. Makes sense, it serves its part of representing Finland abroad. I’d call it the good steam embassy.

8. Of course, sauna diplomacy is a thing

9. Finns go to the sauna when they feel the need to go to the sauna, and that moment can be at any time. And if you can’t get to the sauna right away, you go to the sauna when you can, but it also means that Finns can be in the sauna when someone want to contact them. This solution of the consulate is really a genius idea and I am surprised that it is not in use in Finland.

10. We have ”sauna” also in our office doorbell

11. Lol it is the same in Riga. Hope they will let me in one of these days.

12. No way haha!

13. Sauna is good

14. The bell is needed, because somebody will go outside for cooling off – dressed in a towel only – and forgets to take a key with him.
