I think that sauna's and bathhouses are pretty underrated among many Western cultures. It's a nearly universally wonderful and calming environment for all, and is a great gathering place for the introverted and sober who may feel like they lack options.
It can be quietly social with an opportunity to mill about or passively participate in a conversation as you may prefer. Even if you don't want to get in the heat, you could enjoy a pot of tea in the building alongside everyone else. People are unclothed (or nearly unclothed, per their personal preference), which really puts everyone on the "same level" so to speak.
Anyway, come on in, have a seat, enjoy !
It is so fucking cold. -20f/-28c, plus wind coming off the mountains. This has to be the coldest I've experienced in like five years of living here with tomorrow almost as bad.
:agony-deep: I used to live in the tropics.
