But as a culture thing? Ppl in here touch and hug a lot.
How will that be accept in ur country? Will ppl react the same way or it will make them feel uncomfortable?

I have tried 40 degrees on holiday, remember, and got heat stroke for my troubles. I'm not built for such things.

Kalle would probably do much better, Finns are quite accustomed to the sauna. Are you familiar with saunas? Don't think you'll need them....

Yes I'm familiar with it, I like it but I can't stand jacuzzi, I heard its not healthy to stay in one for a long time.

Definitely a culture thing. We're not completely averse to hugging here, though. I tend to get hugs from female coworkers on special celebrations. All-male hugs are normally reserved for family. Such a hug would probably be unnatural to many. But an all-female hug would not.

The touching part aside from celebratory hugs and introductional handshakes is very rare. I try to touch a little when occasion arrives, probably because I have plenty experience with non-Nordics, but it's not done by many. Can be interpreted wrong also. Lay a consoling hand on the shoulder of a distressed girl and some will think it's an untimely pass at her. Maybe even sexual harassment if it's an underling.

Jacuzzis I have no experience with, but I've heard the same thing.

We are two sides, yes. You are the portrait of the Queen, I am the winter landscape depicted on the other side.

I guess the face that im a woman and not a men let me the privilege of touching and hugging without question asked or faces, hell even sexual harassment.

So 2 men hug outside of the family doesn't seem natural or acceptable?

35 is really, really rare, but record is 37.

Two players I don't particularly like, yet not hate. I'm just used to cheer for their opponents.

Maybe I'd prefer Andy to win, Nole already has AO.
