IVALO - Out of this world
Ivalo is an exotic location even for the Finns. Most Finns haven’t been there.

Here is where you get to see a lot of indigienous people of Finland, the Samis. The Sami has a very distinct culture and lifestyle which you could learn more by going to http://virtual.finland.fi/netcomm/news/showarticle.asp?intNWSAID=25786

I loved Sami music which is called Yoik. It is very similar to Inidan music and full of yells and chants. I bought a lot of CDs of singers like Ulla Pittajarvi.

We went ice fishing in Finland over River Inari. That was an experience beyond words. I also went snowmobiling on the ice.
