We came back out of the house and...
someone has stole the sled.
This is the apartment. It is absolutely trashed by...
Please no own camera here.
Only we will make a photo here. No own camera.
I mean...
This place is a load of bollocks.
We have just arrived now at the Santa Claus's village
and inside there you can meet the man himself.
Santa Claus.
Which is actually just a guy dressed up.
So I don't want to ruin it for everyone.
But, you know, that's the truth.
I'll be telling Lincoln that too also.
Anyway, I'm just joking.
Here's a...
Well, it looks like it's a very lovely place to come if you're a little kiddo.
You know, come and see reindeers and that.
Although it is absolutely freezing.
Oh, and someone's coughing.
Oh my God, you can see the temperature there.
Minus 12.
This is the Arctic Temple.
A temple?
Arctic Circle.
Oh my God, I think my brain's frozen.
Look at my hands.
And Lincoln insisted on bringing his sled
and I'm pulling it around.
My hands are frozen.
There's like annoying people everywhere
trying to take selfies, barging around.
I'm frozen.
I just want to go home.
I just want to go back to China.
I want to go home.
I don't care about Santa Claus.
There's just people taking selfies everywhere.
I think I've got Arctic delirium.
All right now.
All right, now we're posting.
We're posting our...
We're posting our postcard to...
from the North Pole back to England
and Lincoln's being annoying as hell.
Santa Claus.
You put the postcard...
Are we in the North Pole?
Yeah.
Is it?
Well we’re in Santa Claus's village.
Right, it's going in.
It's going in.
Okay, bye bye.
Yay, okay.
You're not going to believe this, right?
You know I was carrying that little blue sled around.
We went inside one of these houses
and we put a little bag on top of it
and it was just like Lincoln's nappies or something inside.
We came back out of the house.
and someone had stole the sled.
I mean, what the hell? They stole a little kid's sled.
And now... I can't tell.
I can't go and find who stole it
because all the sleds look the same.
It was a blue one. It had a little yellow string.
But there's like... Everyone else's is...
There's other blue ones with yellow strings.
So I went up to this one kid and I was like,
Did you take my sled?
Because it had a yellow string.
And...
I'm not sure, but I think it was that one.
And the dad was standing next to the kid.
And I was like, Did you steal my sled?
The dad didn't say anything. The dad was like silent.
And then he was like, No.
And then he walked off and said, Sorry.
I think it was them.
What the hell?
You'd steal someone's sled.
Are you crazy?
No, we haven't got any sled.
Anyway. So far,
this Santa Claus's village. It's basically just like...
It’s basically just all shops and...
Loads of little shops trying to make you buy things.
So far, it's just bollocks.
And then we went over...
I mean, it's good if you're like... It's good if you're like five years old.
I mean, Lincoln's... Lincoln's only two and a half. He's too young for it.
He doesn't even know what Santa Claus is yet.
So basically, it's minus 12.
You come to a little crappy village.
It's just all shops and bollocks
trying to buy loads of junk, right?
And then we went... You know, the main thing.
You want to go and see Santa Claus, right?
You want to go and see this guy sat in a little... sat in his stinky suit.
You know, it's just some weird guy.
And so we went in
and there's a massive queue, right?
And so then we got to the front of the queue
and then this little elf woman
gave us a ticket.
And she's like, Oh, the earliest we can do is 1.30.
And it's like 10 o'clock now.
And so you've got... You've got...
We queued to get in the queue at 1.30
and then we've got to go back at 1.30
and she said it's going to be a 40-minute wait again at 1.30.
I mean...
This place is a load of bollocks.
My rating for Santa Claus's Village?
Zero out of ten.
Just forget it. Unless you're five years old
and you love Santa Claus.
Man, it's just way better just to go off somewhere else in Rovaniemi,
just enjoy the snow.
I haven't seen one real reindeer or anything.
It's bollocks.
It's 1.30.
We've waited like three hours
and now we're heading in to see Santa Claus.
Lincoln, what do you think?
Santa Claus's Village is just great.
OK, we're at the front of the queue now.
We're about to go in.
And it says there,
no cameras allowed
because they want to charge you like 100 euro for the photo.
We're going to try and get some sneaky footage.
Hello. Two of you?
Yeah, two and a half.
Hey there. Where are you from?
China, England.
Oh, international team.
You can already come here and leave your things on the table.
OK.
Oh, there it is.
Please, no own camera here.
Only we will make a photo here, no own camera.
Can we do a video?
We will also make a video of your meeting, but no own-photo.
Oh, OK.
But please have a seat.
Oh, go go!
Please come here.
(photographer tells elf woman to make me place the camera over there)
Could you leave the camera?
Oh.
OK, so we just came out from seeing Father Christmas.
Did you like it, Lincoln?
Was it good?
And we were in for that long.
It's almost night-time now.
And we came out.
I don't know what footage I got.
I tried to sneak in some footage.
The guy who takes the pictures was like,
Hey, he's still got his GoPro on.
Tell him to put the camera over there.
So they caught me trying to get sneaky footage.
Because they want you to buy the picture, right?
And also they take video.
So you have to buy the video and they sell the printed one.
So you can buy digital, picture, the video and printed.
If you want to buy all three, it costs 80 euro.
80 euro.
80. Linlinbao!
And so we just ended up buying the printed one.
Which I think just the printed one on its own is 50 euro.
Linlinbao 50 euro.
Oh, man.
We've been standing in the queue for about an hour to get on these reindeers.
We're going in now.
Oh, my God. I'm almost frozen.
I think my fingers have got frostbite.
And there they are.
There's the reindeers.
Slipping all over the place.
Right.
We're on the sled now.
It's absolutely freezing.
Lincoln is freezing.
And there's the reindeer.
Were you shocked?
There's Rudolph.
And then at the front, you just see the pigu, the ass of the reindeer in front.
Oh, we're moving.
Look at the size of the antlers.
Oh, man. We paid...
How much was it?
100 euro for three of us.
I don't know if I'm more shocked by the price.
100 euro.
Or the temperature.
Right. And we paid for a thousand... What was it?
100 euro.
No, I think... How many meters?
1,000.
1,000 meters.
Which is one kilometer.
Oh, my God.
I can't even...
I've got to put my... I've got to put my hand away.
Right, so we're going around now.
Is this worth it?
I think my face is frozen.
I can't even bite it.
No wonder he can't bite it.
Just biting a chocolate off for Lincoln.
I think I've got frostbite.
I'm definitely frostbitten.
Now, we are back at the apartment.
And after that terrible, awful experience at Santa Claus' village,
it's time to take some revenge on Santa Claus.
And now we're going to eat some of his reindeer.
So, here we...
Some reindeer meat.
I'm hoping this is Rudolph.
So, we're going to put this...Linlin bao, dada is eating Rudolph.
We're going to put this in the pan here.
And we're taking revenge on Santa Claus.
So, I hope there's no reindeer enthusiasts watching.
We're cooking some reindeer.
Cooking some reindeer.
What happened?
Oh, okay. Let me take a look.
You have the picture that we took in Santa Claus' village?
Let me have a look.
This is the picture that they charged us, like...
How much was it? 50 euros?
And if you look at the picture
you see how it's reflecting like that?
They do that so that you can't just take a picture.
So, you can't just take a picture. Of the paper one.
So, you can't get a digital copy because they also sell digital copy.
That is how, like, annoying they are.
Santa Claus' village.
Probably the worst place in Finland.
In the world.
Anyway, how's this reindeer meat coming along?
First time eating reindeer.
Smells weird.
It's not bad.
Tastes like...
Tastes a little bit like lamb.
Good afternoon from Finland.
From Rovaniemi.
It's a little bit cold.
Minus 16.
Not that cold.
I'm used to it.
Alright, I'm joking.
It is absolutely freezing.
Oh my god.
Oh my god, let me get back inside.
Oh my god, look at this.
Look how deep it is.
Right, this is our little apartment that we're staying in.
Oh my god, look at that.
No one's touched this table for ages.
I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have done that.
I'm going to get frostbite.
That over there is a lake, believe it or not.
Let me get back inside.
So, this is the apartment.
It is absolutely trashed by Lincoln.
It was nice of them that they provide toys and a load of board games and stuff.
TV there, couch there.
Lincoln's on the bed there.
He's about to take his little nap.
Lincoln, what are you doing?
Come over here. You've got a nice...
Oh, just ignore the two big cases. A bit messy.
Got a nice dining room place here.
You can edit videos there.
Oh, there's three passports there.
Two Chinese and a Brit.
Fridge.
Pretty big, nice kitchen as well.
We've got a toilet here.
Messy as well.
But one of the good things is
we have our own private sauna.
And I used it earlier and it was pretty good.
Oh, I think I've left it on.
Per night, it is a bit pricey, but everything is expensive in Finland.
It's around 300 euro per night, so it is a bit pricey.
You've got a second floor. Let's take a look
with another bedroom that obviously we don't need to use.
It has two twin beds here.
Got another toilet, sink and then laundry room.
Also, I noticed something else.
There's a door here.
And it has a tape over the lock.
So you can't get in, the door is locked.
So I have no idea what is on the other side of this door.
Maybe the landlord of this house is hiding something.
I haven't even looked, let’s try to look over the glass.
I don't know if you can see anything apart from the reflection.
Oh, listen to the snow.
Wow, this is beautiful.
Look at these trees with the snow on top.
So you can come and get all your lovely shots
for WeChat moments and Instagram.
Usually, I wouldn't walk out onto a frozen lake.
But I saw people just walking the dogs and strolling around on it.
It must be frozen solid.
Is that someone's boat?
You can see the footprints there.
This is crazy.
Oh my God.
Whoa.
Okay, let's not step there.
Look how deep the snow is.
Seems like it's melting.
I'm starting to get a bit nervous.
Let's just take in the peacefulness.
That is the end of this video.
I would highly recommend that you do not visit Santa Claus' village.
Eating, eating is no no. Eating reindeer is no no.
So, I highly recommend the rest of Finland...
Avoid...
Avoid Santa Claus' village
highly recommend the rest of Finland.
And that is the end of this video. I will see you in the next one.
Signing off.
