So, I visited an awesome friend in north of Finland and DIDN'T see Santa :/ Now he doesn't know that I've been quite nice this year. The good thing is, I don't need to fill my luggage with too many presents when I move.
I didn't really know much about Rovaniemi before last weekend, it was just always too far for me. It took 9 hours by train, so my thought about the distance is pretty much correct. One thing I knew for sure is the Santa thing and I had heard from the Angry Birds park which of course I needed to see. And the Lordi square just happened to be there, didn't really want to see it but...

| He looked so angry.. |
 |
| ...so I gave him a hug (which looks like something else) |
 |
| The Lordi square and the band members' handprints |
 |
| Strange game, didn't really figure out how to play it.. |
 |
| Reindeer horn Christmas lights |
 |
| Library Designed by Alvar Aalto |
 |
| Same library from the inside |
 |
| Especially liked this part, the "hole" for books and reading |
 |
| Creepy red cross |
 |
| Looks like a sunset, but it's not. There's no sun in Rovaniemi in winter, I think it flies to South like the birds. |
So, that was a small view of my weekend! We also played some Kimble, didn't take a picture as everyone SHOULD know this game. :)
