A late comment, but I just saw an article about nordic spas in a Swedish newspaper and it made me think of this post, so here it goes: https://www.svd.se/a/LMBLEP/bara-bada-bastu-fyra-heta-och-harliga-bastubad-i-norden
Context isn’t really needed (and probably should be best avoided), but I can’t resist: last week was the Melodifestivalen in Sweden (the “music” contest to decide who is going to represent Sweden at Eurovision), and the winning song was “Bara bada bastu” (“Just take a sauna”).
