Helpfulness
All the buildnings in Rovaniemi are similar, very ugly, very 50's. Very low, very symmethrical. And even it is a small town, navigating there is not easy, because streets are oddly designed.
But there is a reason for this funny and weird city style. Rovaniemi was badly bombed in the end of II World War by German troopers. When German leaved Lapland, they bombed cities and villages there down, so down that there were nothing left. For example in my Mother's hometown, Kemijarvi, is only one small chapel which was there before bombing. Everything else has been rebuilt again.
This is why Rovaniemi is so quickly built and look how it does.

Rovaniemi is the Finnish capital of Lapland, but you need to go further north to get the real feelings of Lapland.
