The day I had to leave Ylläs came. |
| I wanted to reduce the amount of the local gift for my friends and my family as much as I could, but Mooming, Santa Clause... |
|
There were lots of things I had to buy. So it was very difficult to make
all fit in the suitcase. I felt like I was playing the game of Tetris! Finally!! I GOT IT DONE!! And left the hotel. |
---------- Heading for Kittilä Airport ----------
| I headed for Kittilä airport a bit far from Ylläs. I like the scenery under
the clear sky as well as under the cold and cloudy sky like the picture below. So Northern Country!!  |
An hour later, I made it there. It's the small local airport.  |
I submitted my passport and I got my tax on the local gift back. In Finland, the tax is very expensive but when we buy something |
| more than 40 euros, they return some of the tax back to us. After the check-in, I headed for Helsinki by a domestic plane. Good bye Lapland!! Thanks for the great nature!!  |
| An hour later, I left Kittilä and got to Helsinki. I had a spare time until
my departure, so I went shopping around the airport. The amount of my luggage got bigger again... |
| The time flied so fast and I went through the gate. Then, a pretty Finnish lady smiled at me and said, "Konnichiwa" in Japanese to me. So I replied back, "Kiitos! Hey hey!!" |
| in Finnish language, which means "Thank you! Good bye!" And I left fot Tokyo. Good bye, Finland! Thanks for the lovely 7 days!!   |
The 1st in-flight meal: I got a bottle of wine for free.  During the flight, it was night. Good Night until we arrive in Tokyo zzz... |
But... my seat was in the middle section and right next to me over the aisle was a baby. The baby was crying during the flight. |
| OMG!! I couldn't sleep at all...... On the 1st day of my trip, I got a pair of ear plugs |
|
at a supermarket in Helsinki, so I put them in and managed to try to save myself from the noise. But... NO GOOD AT ALL!! |
