Both wars had a profound impact on Finland. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

During the Second World War, Rovaniemi was not immune to the influences, although it was far from the center of Europe.

Those who have been to the city will notice that some of the city's ancient buildings have German shadows, because the German army was stationed here and a large number of buildings were built at that time.

However, this also led to the tragedy of Rovaniemi, which was heavily bombed by the Allies at the end of World War II and the old city was almost razed to the ground.

The sky is bright and the city comes alive, because of the polar night, the people in the city especially cherish the daytime time, especially today is Christmas.

It had just snowed heavily and the ice was thicker, so there weren't many cars in the city, but horse-drawn sleigh cars, dog sled cars, and electric sleds.

The streets are lined with Christmas trees with gift boxes that anyone can pick up and which contain small gifts such as a fruit, a piece of candy, or a small doll.

Rovaniemi is the most lively at Christmas, when tourists from all over the world gather here, and Wang Bo stands in the streets, hearing a variety of accents and languages, including Chinese.

Little Lori happily sat on the pumpkin cart, and the strong man and the queen got up and dragged the sleigh cart and began to run.

Wang Bo beckoned and escorted all the way: "Slow down, just bring the car!" ”

The main thing is that he can't run, there is too much ice and snow on the road, and he has to slow down when he walks on it, and if he is not careful, he will fall into a big horse.

Wang Bo had already seen several tourists fall, and he didn't want to be one of them.

A bearded white man walked over and said hello, "Hey, Merry Christmas, you're tourists?" ”

Wang Bo heard that the personality of the Finns is similar to the local weather, a little cold, but he did not expect someone to take the initiative to greet him, so he said happily: "Yes, hello, sir, Merry Christmas, may the Lord bless you." ”

It's easy to tell the difference between locals and tourists, who struggle to walk on the road, locals stride on the ice, and some even get up for a morning run.

The bearded man smiled: "Same wishes, please enjoy the festive atmosphere in Rovaniemi, Santa Claus is about to be dispatched." ”

After a friendly greeting between the two sides, Wang Bo said to Eva on the way: "It seems that the Finns are not as indifferent as the legend says. ”

Eva said: "The Finns are wary, not indifferent, but the guy was a little overzealous just now, and I guess he must have drunk a lot of vodka." ”

It's freezing cold, and Finns have two national sports, one is ice skating, where almost everyone can skate, and the other is good drinking, everyone has a good amount of alcohol.

There was a young man dancing on the sidewalk on the side of the road, dancing with his hands and feet, and his body was exaggeratedly twisted, Wang Bo nodded rhythmically and said with a smile: "Finns really have a taste for life, so early to come out to practice dancing." ”

Eva guessed: "He's dancing hip-hop, he's such a hard worker, should we ask him for an autograph?" I think he will become a famous street performer in the future. ”

The two were discussing, when the young man did a somersault, but he didn't stand firm and fell to the ground, and he got up and scolded in embarrassment: "Fake, there's ice on the damn road, I shouldn't be walking on the sidewalk!" ”

Wang Bo and Eva glanced at each other, and then hurriedly lowered their heads and walked.

On the edge of the city is the Kemi River, known as the Mother River of Christmas City.

There is no doubt that the river has long been frozen, and standing on the bridge, the cold wind blowing from the river makes people unable to open their eyes.

The two of them stood at the head of the bridge and looked ahead, following the Kemi River that runs through the city to Mount Onas, a gentle mountain that is perfect for hiking, where tourists come to see the Northern Lights for Christmas in the winter and hike in the summer.

At this time, the snow-capped mountains stand between heaven and earth, the snow and mist linger on the mountains, and there is a white expanse everywhere, quiet and beautiful.

Eva suggested, "How about we go skiing?" ”

Wang Bo kissed her and said, "Of course we want to go skiing, but it's not today, it's Christmas, we should go looking for Santa Claus." ”

To come to Rovaniemi for Christmas, all you have to do is go to Santa Claus Village to look for Santa Claus, otherwise there is no point.

Little Lori beckoned very proudly: "Get in the car, I'll take you to Santa Claus!" ”

Eva shook her head with a smile and said, "No, no, girl, do you want to exhaust the queen and the strong man?" ”

The strong man raised his head and whined, his eyes widened, as if he was dissatisfied with Eva's contempt.

Wang Bo said: "I think the queen and the strong man can drag us, but this pumpkin cart may not be, maybe after accommodating our weight, it will be dismembered on the way!" ”

Little Lori was nervous when she heard this, and said, "Then you better run along, I'll let the strong men run slower." ”

Wang Bo definitely can't run, there is still some distance from the city to Santa Claus Village, and he has to rent an electric sled.

This tool is common in Rovaniemi, and there are a number of tour companies in the north of the city that do it for as little as 18 euros for an hour's rental.

Wang Bo rented a large electric sleigh, and the waiter invoiced them and asked, "Which of you has a motorcycle driver's license?" ”

Lao Wang was surprised and asked, "Do you need a motorcycle driver's license to drive this?" ”

The waiter stopped tapping on the keyboard and said, "For your safety, sir, we can't rent you a sled without a motorcycle driver's license." ”

Eva said, "Well, yes, we're taking the kids to Santa Claus Village. You see, she's on a dog sled, and we're just with her, so it's going to be slow, certainly not faster than a dog sled. ”

The waiter hesitated a little and said, "But we have rules, sorry ......"

Eva smiled amorously, glanced at the waitress with her eyes, and said, "Today is Christmas, and our Christmas wish for many years is to see Santa Claus, don't let our wish be shattered, okay?" ”

The waiter immediately surrendered: "Okay, Merry Christmas, take this list and go over there to pay the deposit, I wish you a happy day." ”

When it was time to pay the deposit, Wang Bo knew that Eva's beauty trick just now was in vain, because there are two kinds of sleds, one similar to a motorcycle, and another similar to a car!

Similar to the car, it is more expensive, the rent is 100 euros a day, and the shape is very smooth, with luxury car styling such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Lamborghini, as well as conceptual styling such as bullets and bazookas.

Although this kind of rent is expensive, you don't need a motorcycle license, you just need a car license.

Naturally, Wang Bo rented the latter, and he chose a red bullet shape, which looked like James Bond's car, which was very cool. (To be continued.) )
