There were more than 100 Christmas stalls and it was full of locals. It looked like people were really busy with shopping for Christmas. There was a huge variety of items in the market and it couldn't be compared to the market in Rovaniemi!

While I went window shopping there, I happened to see Minori again. We had said good-bye at Rovaniemi several days earlier, however I met her by pure accident! What a coincidence!

We happened to see each other at lunchtime so we had lunch together at a stall. We shared a mixed plate of reindeer sausage and elk sausage, etc, with vegetables. These sausages had a unique strong flavor, however I really like them!!

It was served with plenty of berry sauce and sour cream. I never got used to see the combination of sausage and berry sauce.

Just as I thought, it was a mountain of food. It was just so big!

A demonstration of something, ...blacksmith's shop. I watched him working for a while, but he was working seamlessly so I couldn't work out what he was making....
