This picture(*) is seriously freaking me out.

That second thing is me looking at aforementioned picture, wearing three layers (thick sweater stolen from my bf + thick sweater + not kidding) and sitting next to something that looks much like a toaster. A sauna/hammam/jacuzzi session at the local sports centre today has done us really well. Truly pore-opening. Since Wikipedia told us nudity is compulsory within the Benelux, we first tried to get in covered in just a towel. I advise all other sauna newbies to check the centre's nudity policy first before trying to enter - although the sauna staff's faces are priceless when ur doin it wrong.
