Tomgu 145 Posted December 26, 2020 3 hours ago, Fleer said: Nah. I sat on his lap in Rovaniemi, Finland. Ok, cut the argument and put some butter in between, as we say in Finland. Rovaniemi is in Lapland, and the Lapps (Sámi) live also in Norway, so maybe you both could be right - if we don’t take into account the fact that Korvatunturi, where he actually lives, is in the Finnish part of Lapland and very close to the Russian border. BTW, nomen est omen...? Lap-land... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fleer 4,178 Posted December 28, 2020 It was a weird experience anyway. I taught at Rovaniemi University near the Russian border and the dean of the faculty took me to see Santa in his own post office near the polar circle. Still got a picture of the dean and me on his lap. Don’t care about where I put that photograph, mind you. Still, great town, Rovaniemi, with some lovely houses by the architect Alvar Aalto, reindeer for food and a sauna in each apartment. Interesting people, those Sámi. Didn’t like the Russian style grocery stores though. And yeah, most students nursed their liquor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
