the santa claus village, it has been long included in our conversation ever since lee li jie jie came here a few years back.

this trip has been said to happen many times already, and finally... we're here after so long! lapland!!

that's a real snowman, real big ass snow man i'm talking about!

we have a few activities in the list, and dining in an igloo would be the first.

yes, an igloo with pretty ice tables, chairs and sofas!! of course i've seen them in quattro but it's no match if we're talking about this real thing.

the ambience~

i drank lapland berry juice. i think it's their local berry juice. very very nice! i think it's hard to get it elsewhere..

fooling around in the igloo while waiting for the dessert..

that's it! one and the half hour in the igloo! like in a freezer only. cold...

the next day we woke up early to visit the reindeer farm. all of us had our chance to ride on the sleigh pulled by the reindeer.. it's like a dream come true man. never thought i'd be able to see a real reindeer! right, we were given a license to ride the reindeer for 5 years. cool eh! =D

this farm is located right at the arctic circle. we were all given a cert, diploma in crossing the arctic circle. i probably misplaced the cert already.

santa dropped by to check out his reindeers and we managed to capture a number of pictures with him. he kept telling us to be good. XD

only took a picture at the santa claus village. there's a post office where we can mail postcards also. special eh? :)
