| On that day, there were also some Japanese visitors in the tour. Every
time some on them went out and came back the lodge, Mitsuko greeted them |
|
and also talked with them. She was very busy looking after her visitors... Then there were 2 professional photographers and she introduced me |
|
to them, and we, four of us, talked together. We happended to use the same camera (Canon 6D), so we felt so close! |
| ------------------------------------------------- On that evening, the sky wasn't too bad with lots of stars but I was tired and the temperature was already -18 degrees. On top of that, |
|
I hadn't rented any winter clothes to protect me from the cold weather. Every year up to this time, I brought my own ski wear to Finland, but this time, |
I had planned rent it from the 2nd day. So I wasn't too enthusiastic... But when I looked up the sky many times, the sky started to get cloudy |
|
and I couldn't see any stars in the end. "Perfect!!" I didn't need to worry about if I miss any Northern Lights any more!! And I could just stay at the lodge and rest!! |
|
But some Japanese visitors in the tour went outside because... it was their final night before going back to Japan. ----- Fire!! ----- |
|
When I was at the lobby taking a rest, something started ringing suddenly and the sound continued without any breaks. And I learnt that it was a fire alarm. |
|
Japanese fire alarms a very loud but Finnish one is also very loud too... Firstly, I heard someone smoked in his room in spite that no one could smoke anywhere |
|
in the lodge (the lodge was non-smoking). But it happened from the power
outlet in someone's room. It was very rare to see for me as a Japanese.  |
|
Hey! Look at the movie below! The fire fighters were working with their smiles on their faces. It looked as if it was just some event for them. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------- After the fire incident, I went outside and the cloud didn't go anywhere... Ok! Let's go to bed!! |
