Hehe... Long time since I've updated.. I went to Estonia during the weekend and came back from Santa Claus land this morning..

Pictures! :D

Bleh, nothing much to see in Estonia..
Moving on..

On the train to Rovaniemi, where Santa Village is. The train ride took 11 hours and I bought a bed ticket so I could sleep soundly hehe.

I was there early and had to wait for the bus to Santa Village. So I drank some coffee in a restaurant and looked at their menu. Wonder how it tastes like. Heard it's not nice.

Kay, I've reached! I think the time was slightly before 10.

This is the passageway to the room where Santa sits all day doing nothing but make idle talk and take pictures with visitors. He is such an ass I asked how many days does he work a year and he refused to answer my question as 'not-santa'. Get what I mean? I tried asking other questions and he answered them as if he was really Santa. Well...... And he stinks of b.o. That coat must be really warm. Ah, anyway, I did take a picture with him.

Poor quality cos I used my cam to take a picture of the photo which I bought from the 'elf'. Who was fully convinced that he is a real elf. His elf-beard is REAL. And elf-beards aren't very nice looking.

Letters from kids to Santa. Don't be fooled by him anymore, kids!

And the line where the land starts to belong to the Artic Circle. Pretty cool..

A map depicting the imaginery line of the Artic Circle. It's like the top 1/4 of the globe. The whole 1/4 area is the Artic Circle. Yea, something like that. The Artic Circle line is halfway between the Equator and the North Pole.

Then I went to the Ranua Zoo!! Or the Wildlife Park. The people there used the terms exchangeably and I was pretty confused as to where I was at. The bus said Zoo but the entrance sign said Wildlife Park.

On the bus. In the distance you might be able to catch a glimpse of the ski slopes.

At the beginning of the trail

I hate owls!!! I was traumatised by a story I read when I was a kid. An evil owl bit off a squirrel's tail. Argh!! Fcking scary click to enlarge and look at it's evil eyes.

Polar Bears! Can you spot them in this huge ass enclosure??

The Polar Bear enclosure is to the right and to the left, miles and miles of forest.

Bambi!

Reindeer. I took the picture of the one with the largest horns I could find.

Hi!

Took a walk around the city of Rovaniemi.

One of the many nice houses overlooking the lake in the previous picture.

Okay, so many pictures! Gonna go to Nuukiso National Park tomorrow, last day of shopping on Saturday, visit to my aunt's on Sunday... And from Monday to Wednesday I'll be in Sweden! AND FINALLY, I'll be taking the flight back on THURSDAY. Ah I can't wait.........

Ciaoz!
