Weekend in Rovaniemi

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. :)
