[/floatl]Nagaoka -- Fifty students from 50 countries took a sauna together Monday and set a world record in the process. The students were all from the International University of Japan in Minami-Uonuma. It was the largest number of countries represented in a single sauna. They will apply to the Guinness Book of Records in the near future. (text from the Asahi)
The previous record was set in 2004 when 38 nationalities took a sauna together in Kobe. The 50 students in Nagaoka were inside for 5 minutes.
