P.S Olen kuullut ihmisten käyttävän Lapissa hassua sanontaa "poronkusema" puhuttaessa etäisyyksistä. Tiiättekö mitä se tarkottaa? Se tarkottaa matkaa, jonka poro voi juosta kusitaukojensa välissä ja se on maksimissaan siis 7,5 km :D
I saw my first reindeer already in the bus on the way here. He was walking on the street and the driver had to slow down because of him. There are almost 200 000 reindeers in Lapland so it is normal to see them on the roads and sometimes there are so many of them that they block the road and all you can do is to wait them to move. Seeing a reindeers gives just a feeling that you're in Lapland!
Yesterday I saw reindeers again. I was nordic skiing in the forest when 4 reindeers jumped to my ski track and ran away! I started to ski faster following them and at the same time was digging my phone so that I'd get a nice photo of them from short distance. Well I got a photo but it's not from close but you can still see them :P
P.S There is a funny way to describe distance in Lapland: Something is not further than a"reindeers piss". Reindeer piss (poronkusema) means a distance a reindeer can run before he needs a pissing break. It can maximum 7,5 kilometers :D
