Eh, when I was living abroad in Spain, I knew several Finns there who insisted on building a sauna to their 100 % Spanish houses because, as they put it, they "didn't know how to live without one." One even ardently refused to use an electric stove and instead wanted a wood eating one. Said the electricity spoils the whole thing and doesn't make the heat soft enough.

As you can imagine, the results were...interesting to say the least.
