There, there. Instead of thinking about confusing things, think about funny things. Those that make you chuckle. Or those happy thoughts that shoo away bad ones. Better yet, think about animals. Because animals are cute. And seeing their cuteness makes you feel all better. For a start, get a glimpse of this very one-of-a-kind reindeer experience in Norway.
You know in Norway, besides the beloved domesticated animals, it is interestingly very common to see reindeer. Yeah, those reindeer that help Santa Claus during Christmas are commonly seen in Norway. Possibly because Norway is close to the North Pole. Not very, very, very close, but close enough. Anyway, reindeer are a very important resource for the Sámi (indigenous people living in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula) as reindeer have been used for trade, food, clothing, and so on.
