INTO sauna party
Hey all international students!
International tutors and INTO welcome you to first International Sauna of the school year! Learn the hottest culture on earth, featuring all the greatest sauna songs and coolest beer drinking moves!
SuperJoonas and Mikko are putting up BBQ-party starting at 20:00! Be there early enough to grab that spicy meatball!
Be sure to know sauna-rules by heart before the party!
Brief summary:
1. No shoes!
2. No glass bottles ect!
3. No looking at Joose's boobies!
4. Singing is not about following the melody but making lots of meteli*!
*meteli is Finish and means really loud noise
Sorry for this last moodkiller, but I wanna tell you a short story. Some time ago only few persons did stupid and unnecessary things which ruined the possibility to have these parties for all of us. INTO got banned from Teekkarisauna for 6 months. That time has passed. Now it's our chance to show our best, party hardy but play by the rules and win other students trust back!
Chairperson-Jukka says:
1. Finnish people are born in a Sauna, feel free to ask them whatever questions you have about Sauna Culture.
2. Sauna is meant to be hot, keep in mind to close the door.
3. Throwing too much water on the stove will cool it down too much and ruins the sauna experience of other students.
4. Close the door as soon as you have gone through it. Keep the door closed.
5. Glass bottles are not allowed in sauna (or the dressing room) to avoid broken glass and feet injuries.
Please use a plastic cup whenever you are in sauna. (You get cups from the sauna)
6. Sauna is a place to enjoy and have fun. If you are not enjoying
yourself there you can leave, no one will mind as Sauna is not a contest of who can last the longest there.
At the same time, sauna is also about respect, don't try to roast your friends...
7. There is a turn for ladies at beginning of the night. And for ladies only! It is followed by men's turn (about 30-60 minutes) and then mixed sauna for the
rest of the night. Usage of swimming suit is not recommended (not really comfortable to wear with so high temperature) but acceptable.Whose turn it is can be found out by asking the organizers and not by peeking into the dressing room.
8. Sauna is a place where men and also women can enjoy without being harassed. It is therefore not allowed to enjoy someone else's (or your own for that matter) bodyparts (staring/touching) even if you have been drinking too much. Breaking this rule will get you kicked out of the sauna and banned for all international events! Behave!
9. We are not paparazzis, we are smart. So no cameras (No videos, or photographs) in sauna or the dressing room. Breaking this rule can also get you the same treatment as rule number 8.
10. Leave the place as you find it. The place will not be cleaned by cleaning service, but by your fellow students, so don't make a mess and the items at Teekkarisauna are donated by student organizations, so do not take anything that is not yours home.
11. Oh yeah. Close the door!
12. Sometimes there is singing in the Sauna, feel free to join in. You will find songbooks from the sauna (5 €). And remember it is not about the tune, but the volume of the singing!
13. Have fun!
And not all finnish saunas work like teekkarisauna, in the sense that not all saunas are for parties. So in other saunas too, behave. And if someone cannot find teekkarisauna, here is a map

Jukka's sauna-algorithm (Juk++) goes like this:
clothes off ->shower->open door->go in-> close door->sauna->throw water->enjoy sauna->sing->throw water->sing->enjoy sauna->cool off->shower->put on a towel->go and take beer->cool off and discuss about the political situation of the middle east->back to sauna->->open door->go in-> close door->enjoy sauna.***->shower->drying (towel)->clothes on -> Feel like a new man (or a woman)
*** is that Jukka usually takes about 3-4 rounds, but this is only an example. You can improvise as you want :) and you dont have to discuss about the political situation of the middle east
