Pantsdrunk: Kalsarikanni

Danes have hygge.  Swedes have lagom.  But the Finns have the best - "kalsarikänni" or päntsdrunk – drinking at home, alone, in your underwear.

When it comes to happiness rankings, Finland always scores near the top.  Many Finnish phenomena set the bar high: the best education system, gender equality, a flourishing welfare state, sisu or bull-headed pluck.  Behind all of these accomplishments lies a Finnish ability to stay calm, healthy and content in a riptide of endless tasks and temptations.  The ability comes from the practice of "kalsarikänni" translated as päntsdrunk.

Peel off your clothes down to your underwear.  Place savory or sweet snacks within reach alongside your bed or sofa.  Make sure your television remote control is nearby along with any and all devices to access social media.  Open your preferred alcohol. Your journey toward inner strength, higher quality of life, and peace of mind has begun.

Danezii au igiena. Suedezii au lagom. Dar finlandezii sunt cei mai buni - „kalsarikänni” sau päntsdrunk - beau acasa, singuri, in lenjeria intima. Cand vine vorba de clasamentul fericirii, Finlanda inregistreaza intotdeauna aproape de varf. Multe fenomene finlandeze pun stacheta la inaltime: cel mai bun sistem educational, egalitatea de gen, un stat social infloritor, sisu sau smulgerea cu cap de taur. In spatele tuturor acestor realizari se afla o abilitate finlandeza de a ramane calm, sanatos si multumit intr-un val de sarcini si tentatii nesfarsite. Abilitatea provine din practica „kalsarikänni” tradusa ca päntsdrunk. Indepartati-va hainele pana la lenjeria de corp. Asezati gustari sarate sau dulci la indemana langa pat sau canapea. Asigurati-va ca telecomanda televizorului este in apropiere, impreuna cu orice dispozitiv si toate pentru a accesa retelele sociale. Deschideti alcoolul preferat.
