Happy Little Mayor

Both wars had a profound impact on Finland.

During the Second World War, although Rovaniemi was far away from the center of Europe, he was in a corner, but he was still not affected.

People who have been to the city will find German shadows on some of the city's ancient buildings. This was because the Germans were stationed there and a large number of buildings were built at the 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 is alive. Because of the extreme night, people in the city cherish the daytime, especially today is Christmas.

Just after heavy snowfall, the ice on the ground is thicker. There are not many traces of cars in the city. Many horse-drawn sleds, dog sleds, and electric sleds are common.

There are Christmas trees planted on both sides of the street, and there are gift boxes hanging on the tree, which can be picked by anyone. There are some small gifts, such as a fruit, a piece of sugar, or a small doll.

Rovaniemi is the most lively at Christmas. Tourists from all over the world will gather here. Wang Bo stood on the street and heard all kinds of accents and languages. There was no shortage of Chinese in it.

Little Lolita sat in the pumpkin cart, and the strong man and the queen got up and dragged the sled to start running.

Wang Bo beckoned and escorted all the way: "Run slowly, just bring your car!"

The main reason is that he can't run, there is too much snow and ice on the road, he must slow down when walking on it, and if he is not careful, he will fall into a haha.

Wang Bo has seen several tourists fall and he does not want to be one of them.

A white bearded man came over to say hello and said, "Hi, Merry Christmas, are you tourists?"

Wang Bo heard that the Finns have similar personalities to the local weather and are a bit cold. I did not expect someone to say hello to him, and he said happily, "Yes, sir, Merry Christmas. May the Lord bless you."

It is easy to distinguish between locals and tourists. Tourists are struggling to walk on the road, while local residents regard the ice as nothing, stride forward, and even people get up and run in the morning.

The bearded man laughed: "Same blessing, please enjoy the festive atmosphere in Rovaniemi. Santa will be dispatched soon."

The two sides greeted each other and separated, and Wang Bo said to Eva on the road: "It seems that the Finns are not as indifferent as the legend."

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

It's freezing cold. Finns have two national projects. One is skating. Almost everyone can skate. The other is good drinking. All have good alcohol.

There was a young man dancing on the sidewalk, dancing and dancing with exaggerated body distortions. Wang Bo nodded rhythmically and laughed: "Finnish people really have a sense of life and come out to practice dancing so early."

Eva guessed: "He is dancing hip-hop, really a hardworking guy, shall we ask him to sign a photo? I think he will become a famous street performer in the future."

The two were discussing. At this time, the young man had a side-flip-like action, but did not stand firmly on the ground. After he got up, he scolded, "Fack, there is ice on the **** road. Walk on the sidewalk! "

Wang Bo and Eva glanced at each other, then quickly bowed their heads and walked.

The edge of the city is the Kemi River, which is called the Mother River of Christmas City.

There is no doubt that the river surface is already frozen. Standing on the bridge, the cold wind blowing from the river can't be opened.

The two stood at the bridge and looked forward. They followed the Kemi River crossing the city to reach the Mount Ounas. This gentle mountain is very suitable for hiking. In winter, tourists come here to see the aurora at Christmas. In summer, Come on foot.

At this time, the snow-capped mountains stood between the heavens and the earth, and the snow and mist lingered on the mountains, and there was a vast white field, quiet and beautiful.

Eva suggested, "How about we go skiing?"

Wang Bo kissed her and said, "Of course we have to go skiing, but not today. Today is Christmas. We should look for Santa Claus."

For Christmas in Rovaniemi, all you have to do is to find Santa Claus in Santa Claus Village, otherwise it will not make sense.

Little Loli beckoned proudly: "Get in the car, I'll take you to Santa!"

Eva smiled and shook her head, and said, "No, no, girl, do you want to exhaust the queen and strong men?"

Zhuang Ding raised his head and screamed, his eyes narrowed, as if dissatisfied with Eva.

Wang Bo said: "I think the queen and the strong man can drag us, but this pumpkin car may not be necessary. After we are not allowed to accommodate our weight, it will dismember on the road!"

Little Loli was nervous at first, and said, "You guys should just follow along, I'll let the young men run slower."

Wang Bo must not be able to run. There is still a distance from the urban area to Santa Claus Village. He wants to rent electric sleighs.

This kind of tool is very common in Rovaniemi. There are a lot of tourist companies in the north of the city engaged in this. The price of an hour rental is only 18 euros.

Wang Bo rented a large electric sled, and the waiter asked them, "Which of you have a motorcycle license?"

Pharaoh asked in surprise: "A motorcycle license is needed to open this?"

The waiter stopped typing on the keyboard and said, "For your safety, sir, we cannot rent a sled to you without a motorcycle license."

Eva said: "Well, that's right, we are taking the child to Santa Claus Village. You see, she is riding a dog sleigh, we are just accompanying her, so the speed will be very slow, definitely not more than a dog sleigh fast."

The waiter hesitated a bit: "But we have rules, I'm sorry ..."

Eva smiled, and looked at the waiter. "Today is Christmas. Our Christmas wish for many years is to see Santa Claus. Don't let this wish be shattered?"

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

By the time the deposit was paid, Wang Bo knew that Eva's beauty had been used for nothing, because there were two types of sleds, one similar to a motorcycle and one similar to a car!

It is more expensive like a car, with a daily rent of 100 Euros, and its shapes are very smooth. There are luxury cars such as BMW, Mercedes, Lamborghini, and conceptual styles such as bullets and bazookas.

Although this type of rent is expensive, it does not require a motorcycle license. A car license is sufficient.

Naturally, Wang Bo leased the latter. He chose a red bullet shape, which looks just like James Bond's car, which is very cool. (To be continued.)
