The only time I’ve seen a real one was when I was at Svalbard.

I saw plenty of wild Reindeer when in Kirkenes, up north in Norway however and they are majesty beautiful. But you know that story already (thanks for the visit and comment!).

I was invited by the Swedish Embassy in Singapore to a movie preview of Wolf, a movie on the Sami, the indigenous people of northern Sweden.

I marvelled at the hundreds of reindeer that these people breed. :P

Part of Encore! The European Season in Singapore,
EUFF aims to foster greater cultural exchange between Europe and Singapore, offering Singaporeans the opportunity to watch some of Europe’s most acclaimed films, which few outside Europe would have had the chance to watch.

Varg (Wolf) is a lovely Swedish film. I enjoyed it very much. It is so lovely to see a part of your country and learn more about your culture and traditions.

Too scary…they’re bigger than me!

A little less friendly, perhaps, but just as interested in food. :)

Enjoy your trip, Finland is a place I will likely never get to.

It’s funny. Where my parents live in New Jersey, USA of all places, not the most wildlife type nation. Their biggest problem is the overpopulation of black bears. Seriously.
When we visited last summer we saw a mama black bear with FIVE CUBS!!! just walking around the streets of their development like it’s her home. the main problem with that, is they are sooooo cute. But forgetaboutit, if you come between a mama and her cub, STAY BACK!

Bears and reindeer begin to be my friends! and I hear a lot about finnish beer during the weekend! :eek:
When I think introduction and protect of several bears is a cause of discord in Pyrénées in France when bears are walking in North Finnish forests and loved! :smile:
