Chapter 904 889. A Complete Set of Activities (55)
"Because I still remember that there is a girl who sends Christmas cards every year. She wants to find parents who love her and accompany her, relatives who want to take care of her, and a Garden of Eden that can make her live happily." Santa Claus said.
Eva was very surprised, then turned her head to look at Wang Bo and said, "My God, what he said is completely correct, did you just ask this girl to help contact Santa Claus and check the previous Christmas card information in the computer, found this?"
Lao Wang had a headache and pinched the bridge of his nose. It is not a good thing to have a smart wife.
Indeed, when Eva filled out the Christmas card earlier, he went to the volunteer girl and asked if the previous information was preserved.
The girl said that all the greeting card information was entered into the computer system by a special person, and it can be traced back to the 1980s.
Eva sent the Christmas card in the 1990s, so you can find the information she left on it at that time.
Wang Bo asked the girl to help contact a Santa Claus to fulfill Eva's previous Christmas wish, in exchange for his willingness to subsidize part of the operating funds of the Christmas Village.
As a famous tourist attraction, the entire Santa Claus Village is actually full of commercial atmosphere. No matter what kind of service is charged, it reminds people that fairy tales are fairy tales after all.
Wang Bo checked the news and found that even then Santa Claus Village was facing a financial crisis.
Due to the economic turmoil in Europe and Russia in recent years, the number of tourists here has decreased significantly, and tourists from these areas are the main tourist group here, making the life of Santa Claus Village very difficult, and even faced the dilemma of bankruptcy.
Therefore, Santa Claus Village began to actively look for business partners, hoping to continue the fairy tale of Santa Claus. After all, for the city of Rovaniemi, the fairy tale of Santa Claus is an important part of income.
He saw this, Santa Claus Village would cost too much money to run, and if someone was willing to donate, they would be happy to accept it.
Everything was going according to his plan, but he didn't expect that Eva would be able to guess it as soon as they met.
The beautiful teacher is too familiar with him, from his actions, she immediately realized that her guess was correct.
But she was still moved, grabbed Wang Bo's wrist, looked into his eyes affectionately, and said softly: "The most correct decision I have made in my life may be to leave the northern hemisphere for the southern hemisphere, go to New Zealand, and then wait for you. "
Santa Claus gave Eva a small brocade box and said, "Please don't open it in advance, girl. Open it when you get engaged. Inside is a small gift from us."
Eva smiled and said, "But I guess there's a big surprise inside."
Santa smiled and stroked his beard. Little Lolita went up and reached out to touch it, then turned around and said, "This beard is real!"
Old Wang: "..."
The topic was interrupted by the little Lolita, and the next thing was to chat with Santa Claus. The old man could only speak Finnish and Swedish. After working in the village, he started to learn other languages in order to communicate with guests from all over the world.
Now he can not only speak English and Russian proficiently, but also communicate in simple Chinese, French, Japanese, etc. Of course, the tone is not very pure.
The old man is very kind. He is nearly ninety years old. He has experienced the Soviet-Finnish War and the Second World War. He has his own philosophy and wisdom in life.
Sitting by the fireplace, Wang Bo drank fragrant hot coffee, watched Eva chatting with Santa Claus, and there were various innocent questions and answers from Little Lolita during the period, and felt that this trip was really worthwhile.
After chatting with Santa Claus, they took a group photo, and then the visit to Santa Claus Village ended.
It was already noon at this time. After they returned to the city, the grand Christmas parade was about to start, and on the coastal boulevard, the Christmas market was already open.
The Christmas market is an annual Christmas event here. This event has existed for centuries. It was originally an ordinary market for people to trade items, similar to the Chinese New Year Fair.
In the last half century, with the determination of the place where Santa Claus belongs, it has become a Christmas market with a strong Christmas flavor.
When Wang Bo passed by the market, he saw that there were Christmas bells, Christmas trees, Christmas flowers, plush toys, antlers, hanging ornaments, etc., all of which were equipped with Christmas gift boxes, and the purchases were packed.
Walking along the Corniche, more than 100 kiosks are at work, selling a variety of handicrafts, cotton fabrics, woven fabrics, candles, ceramics, clothing accessories and canned food for setting the Christmas table.
Little Loli felt novelty seeing these things, but she was just curious and didn't want to buy them.
She spent Christmas in summer, and the gifts she saw were naturally related to summer and New Zealand customs. Now that she saw pure Nordic custom gifts, she was naturally curious.
Wang Bo wanted to buy something for her, but the little Lolita waved her hand and said very sensiblely: "No, Dai'er, teacher, Dai'er is an older child, she doesn't play with toys anymore, let's save the money."
After wandering around the market for a while, the Christmas parade started, and the three of them joined the parade.
During the previous tour, Wang Bo bought colorful paints and costumes with Christmas colors, which will be used now. The three of them painted their faces, changed into clothes and joined the team, just like the locals.
Little Lolita and Eva wore reindeer hairpins and big furry antlers on their heads, laughing as they walked, while Lao Wang was dressed as Santa Claus.
His appearance took advantage, and the city government prepared a lot of small gifts, which were given to the Santas. After meeting them, as long as they said "Merry Christmas", they could give gifts.
Christmas in Rovaniemi is extraordinarily big, it's a big event with lots of activities.
There are sleigh races, Christmas wine parties, puppet theaters, mobile games, multimedia performances telling the story of Santa Claus, etc. In addition, the streets are full of Santa Claus.
However, the daytime is too short, Wang Bo felt that the parade had only gone halfway, and the sun was about to set.
Fortunately, Christmas Eve in Rovaniemi is also a sleepless night, with brilliant lights everywhere and fireworks on the square.
Wang Bo wants to participate, but eating and drinking are too boring. After browsing the festival event menu on the Internet, he found that the sled race is very suitable for them to participate in.
In the past, this sled race was a reindeer sled race, but it was not easy to tame reindeer, and there were too few people participating in the race, so it was expanded to a dog sled race.
Wang Bo brought the young man and the queen with him, originally to pull the sleigh and pumpkin cart for the little Lolita, but now it's all right, he can hug the grass and beat the rabbits, and he can gain something else.
There are strict regulations on dog sledding in Northern Europe, such as the number of pulling dogs. Finland usually starts with five dogs, otherwise it will be too stressful for the dogs.
An ice city in China learned from foreigners to engage in this kind of project, but in the end it only arranged one or two dogs to pull the sled. It was all for making money, and it didn't care about the life or death of the dogs at all.
