 Steam or sauna? And why? 
 both are nice for different occasions 
 Ok so after a long day if you had both options, which do you choose? 
 well it's really common to have a regular "finnish sauna" at our houses and even apartments here, so i'd say that

it's more multifunctional also, great to dry your clothes in, and much more dynamic in general 
 I see. Never thought about the multifunctional aspect. What else can it be used for? 
 if it's with wooden stove for example, you can use it to heat up that part of the house more 
 Sauna, never enjoyed humidity  
 Noted. The steam is definitely more intense. I feel like it’s more of an exercise that you have to practice to make it more relaxing. The sauna can be relaxing from the get-go. 
 Aren’t there steam saunas and dry sauna? 🤔 Wouldn’t both be sauna still? 
 I don’t know. I’ve always heard it called a steam room.
