Seeing them waling around, opening doors... WHILE THE FRONT DOOR IS STILL OPEN!! That is absolute faux pa in Finland. You close the front door and keep the heat in! People can get quite angry about that little detail, cause it really matters.
Some cabins have own shower and bathroom, they are on the top floor. Also more quiet during travel but more money of course. Also if you want it smooth and quiet pick the ones far from locomotive. "Do we need to take a taxi to city center" made me feel a bit amused. For me as a Finn trainstation is in the city center city is just very small ;)
Yes you would need to book well in advance to get a room with your own bathroom, especially during Christmas. I think we meant where all the hotels are, rather than city center.
Sled dogs bark because they are so excited to run, to pull! They are quiet when pulling! The crunch of snow on the feet of the sled, freezing (-20- and further C.) On the ground, trees and buildings, BANG! (thermal expansion/contraction)
North Pole? You are not even close, yoy hava a map, you see the country north of Finland? That is Norway, and when McDonalds open in Tromsöin a few weeks , that is hundreds of miles north of Rovaniemi, and then the Rovaniemi McDonalds would not the mor\st northerly anymore. Norway has had McDonalds for 40 years, longer than Finland, but they decided not to open north of Steinkjer, of some reason, but they changed their mind. Actually, id you mail a letter to SantaClaus, with no country, or North Pole, teh US Postal Service sends it to Norway, the Finns have tried do get them to send it to Finland, but I thing the USPS send it Alaska now
Absolutely mesmerizing! The way you captured the Northern Lights is breathtaking. Such a unique and magical experience. Happy 30th birthday to Sarah! 🎉 Kudos for the surprise setup, Nick. You've created a memory to cherish forever!
Why do Americans always want to go by taxi when it is much much cheaper to go by bus? The taxi driver was not exactly honest with you when he said the taxi was your only option. AND 15€? The bus would be about 3 or 4€
5:30 did she charge 50€ for 2 coffees? that must have been a mistake ; for that price lunch must have been included - because finland is a nation where you get to every lunch buffet free coffee on top , its not something we try to get rich on here... (finland is world top coffee nation per capita)
You must be the luckiest people in the world! You got to Kakslauttanen and you saw the Northern Lights almost right away! I've never heard of anyone experiencing the same thing... And happy birthday Sarah!
Tell other people they're poor eventhough you were to poor to book the bigger cabin 😅 p.s. How did you like the American food (Subway, Pringles, McDonald's...) in Finland?
Clueless American tourists, obviously. Rovaniemi is not on the North Pole, but that is geography, way too difficult for most Americans. Imagine eating something like the wonderful salmon, or the ever so tasty reindeer meat. way too adventurous! That might be why American tourists are so much loved worldwide...
True👍 There is no point buying bed cabin if you get out after few hours. If yoyr butt gets numb, just walk little and your butt is ready for sitting again. 😊
When was this filmed? I dont get it, cause when I watch the Santa Claus village live on youtube, I see Santa's office, but there is no big Snowman in front of it? Lovely vid btw, would love to visit too!
