Sure, here's something interesting about Finnish culture: saunas are an integral part of Finnish life and culture. In fact, there are more saunas than cars in Finland, with an estimated 3.3 million saunas in a country of 5.5 million people!

Saunas are considered a place for physical and mental relaxation, and many Finns enjoy taking saunas at least once a week. It's also common to take a sauna before or after a dip in a cold lake or sea, which is known as "avantouinti" or ice swimming.

In addition to being a place to relax, saunas also have cultural and social significance. In the past, Finnish women would give birth in saunas, and saunas were also used for spiritual and cleansing rituals. Today, saunas remain an important part of Finnish culture and are often used for socializing with friends and family.
