One of my favorite experience of finnishness is definitely when i see the aurora borealis or so called northern lights for the first time. I was only 6 year old then and now i am 29 year old, so 23 year later i still can remember how amazing it was! Several different colors and bright lights fill up the whole sky and the moment was breathtaking.
When i was a child, i thought that every human knows what are those wonderful northern lights. Of course i also believed that Santa is real, but that is a different story 😉 Later on i noticed that those magically lights are pretty rare and some people even travel and pay a lot of money to see them.
A few while ago i heard that Asian people think if you want to have a baby boy, you just have to see northern lights. That sounds quite easy to having boy, right? When a couple wants to have a boy for a child, their have to travel here in Finland and their need to book a nice Hotel with a good view. Second thing to do their have to make sure when and where you can see it. Luckily, many Finnish Travel and Tourism agency sells different packages concerning travelling and northern light around Lapland. Having a good hotel with a great view should not be a problem.
When those lights appear on the sky, hotel agent have to inform the couple and some case their need to wake up the in the middle of the night. Can you guess what happens next? Yes, their must make love at the same time when the sky is full of northern lights! Sounds very romantic. Chinese people are very superstitious, but i believe that in this connection they are right, cause the Travel and Tourism of Finland is rising up thanks to northern lights.
In my opinion everyone can believe in anything they want and I also imagine everyone want to make love under the beautiful sky (superstitious or not) <3
And if you believe enough, you might also see something else in the sky 😉
