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.
