【Traveling in Finland 公主背包客。 芬兰篇】Meeting with boss+ 2015 the launch of a new accommodation-Kelo-Glass Igloos in Hotel kakslauttanen 全台独家跟极光屋老板开全球会议+公布2015最新房型照片、价钱与订房攻略
The bed was very comfortable at the glass igloo. I had a very good sleep.
The manager showed us the log cabins area after enjoying the beautiful breakfast. It’s also very popular in Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort. There are two sizes of the log cabins. There's plenty of room here. 
The master bedroom.
The dining area and the kitchen.
The cozy area in the living room. 
The private sauna room at the log cabin.
The private fireplace at the log cabin.
The log cabin.
All the people were looking forward to meet the boss today. Especially I’d like to meet him since I have heard about him at MATKA. The manager arranged a meeting with him after the lunch.
Finally we met him in this meeting on the second day. He was so friendly and humorous. He brought the house plan of the new accommodation and introduced us the feature. Everyone discussed with passion in this meeting. We were the first PR group to see the secret data and know the news. I was so glad that I could attend this global meeting. I was the only one from Asia. I think I was kind of the Asian represent in this meeting.
I admire the boss. He was full of the passion and creation. Especially I was really curios how him get the idea to build the glass igloo. I asked him this question. He answered that he got the idea from the Asian tourists. He saw so many Asian tourists wore a lot of clothes but still shaking in the cold night few hours waiting for the Northern Lights. After all most of Asian people unusual to be used to under the 10 degree in the winter.
He was thinking if I could build a room where people can see the Northern lights without suffer in the very cold weather and enjoy the warm temperature. It sounds like a dream at this moment. Fortunately he made it and the glass igloo became the one of the most fantastic rooms in the world. Imagine lying comfortably in a warm bed gazing at the starry sky and the Northern Lights. It’s so amazing, isn’t it? That’s why it’s really popular in the world and hard to book a room in the high season.
We were talking about many Asian people have the special feelings to the Northern Lights. I didn’t deny it. It’s not everyone come to Lapland has the chance to see the Northern Lights. You really must be lucky enough. Japanese believe that the woman will have a boy if the woman pregnant in the Northern Lights night.
The boss gave us the gifts was a good way to end the meeting. The gift was a little sample of the glass igloo. There is a switch in the bottom. I’ve seen this gift at MATKA. It’s delicate and meaningful. It always reminds me of the beautiful memory in Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort. I was the first one to get gift from the boss. I felt I was so lucky. It was a little pity I didn’t have chance to take a photo with the boss. He was too busy.

(Una在度假木屋区外拍照)
极光屋的床睡起来非常舒服，第二天起床神清气爽，享用美好的早餐，经理带我们逛了也是渡假村内相当热门的木屋区，他们有两种不同大小的房型。
度假木屋里的主卧室，房间气氛柔和，整体设计简单气派。
两张单人床，可供朋友或小孩睡觉的地方，房内也是有自己的书桌。
最棒的就是住木屋的旅客还有属于自己的桑拿室，不用跑到公用区和别人挤。
这里还有自己的厨房和用餐区，无论夏天或冬天都是家庭出游的好选择。
客厅的舒适区域，大家都很喜欢这个设计，可以瞧见灯饰是由鹿角设计而成的，都是老板的巧思。
超有fu的壁炉，感觉来北欧就是屋子里要烧火柴取暖啊!
(度假木屋外观)
接著经理特意安排午餐后，让大家跟极光屋的老板一起开会碰面。所有人非常引颈期盼这一刻的到来，当初我在赫尔辛基跟经理提案时，听到当他对老板的描述，就已经很想会一会传说中的极光屋老板庐山真面目。
没多久老板就来开会了，他比我想像中的亲切又幽默风趣。他带来今年极光屋的新房型的室内设计平面图给我们看，并介绍这个房间的特别之处。接著开会讨论我们对于极光屋和参观渡假村两天一夜有甚么建议，大家的讨论相当热络。当天我们都算是从老板第一手看到这些资料被公布，很荣幸的Una能参与到这场高峰会议。与来自欧俄的高手们和老板面对面开会和发问，Una也是在场唯一的亚洲人，大概也算是当天的亚洲区宣传代表吧!
老板本身是位热情又有创意的人，我对他建立这个全球著名的极光屋点子非常的好奇。于是第一位发问，请教他当初建立极光屋的绝妙点子从何而来?他回答其实是当年从亚洲住宿客身上发想而来。当时他先建立小木屋，看到来芬兰的许多亚洲观光客都全身发抖地半夜站在户外等著看极光，他看了觉得很不忍。(对欧洲人来说，冬天零下十度以下，算是家常便饭，但对大多数的亚洲人来说，只要零下几度，就已经是折磨了。)
他想如果能让这些人不用在冰天雪地里受寒，就能在室内暖和的看到极光，那该有多好。于是就有了建立极光屋的点子，让旅客能在天寒地冻里，仍能透过玻璃看到窗外的极光，最厉害的是还不用站著看，还可以躺著床上等极光和极光。就因为老板当初关心到观光客的需求，而设计出更人性化的住宿点子，也才造就了今日极为著名的极光玻璃屋诞生。让全球的旅客趋之若鹜，在旺季更是一房难求。
我们讨论到亚洲人对于极光比欧洲人更有憧憬和一些传说。我们相信看到极光就会带来好运，这点我并不否认。(因为并不是每个千里迢迢到拉普拉区的观光客，都能幸运的看到极光)。然后经理讲到日本人相信只要能看到极光那天行房，就有可能怀上儿子。(我只是在想这个真的要算得很精准，是说排卵期还要刚好跟极光出现的时间有碰到。如果是因为这样中奖生出来的小孩，就算不是怀儿子，也绝对是超级幸运的宝宝啊!)
最后就是老板发来宾礼的时间，经理安排的真贴心。当大家到会议厅等待时，经理就已经将礼物在桌上准备好。礼物就是当初研讨会时，经理展示给我看的极光玻璃屋小模型。这模型下面有开关，就可以让极光屋发光，这纪念品非常的精致和有意义。每每看到这个模型，就会令人想起住在这里的美好和不可思议的回忆。很幸运的，我是第一个从老板手中拿到这个模型的，真是幸运的快跳起来了。可惜老板真的很忙，开会完就像一阵旋风走了，大家都大呼可惜没机会跟老板合照。

最后Una当然要来讲这场会议的重点，可以说是在讨论今年最新房型的发表会。当初我们在开会的时候，此房型还在建造，今年11月就会开放让宾客入住，现在已经可以开始订房啰!
(此照片为kakslauttanen arctic resort提供)
此房型将会是此渡假村最顶级的房型，老板巧妙的结合了小木屋的宽敞舒适和世界著名玻璃屋房型的优点。玻璃屋最特别的地方是能隔著玻璃看极光，但空间较小；小木屋空间虽大，却无法隔著屋顶看极光。此房型却能享受两种不同型态的住宿，而且拥有更大的空间。
(此照片为kakslauttanen arctic resort提供)
他们的木屋是特别用拉普拉区特有的松木建立，此房型仅有17间，最多可以入住6位，里面还有个人的桑拿、壁炉、厨房可以供住宿客享用。
订房攻略
每年在芬兰看极光最好时间为12月到3月。Una强烈建议如果想省钱又想体验这辈子奢华梦幻入住的人，可以选择在1.10-1.30的淡季时段订房。这样两晚住下来，两人以上可省下不少钱，又非常有机会看到极光，也留下这辈子难忘的美好回忆。
旺季时段比较难订房，请大家提早订房。除了圣诞节、跨年外，中国新年也是非常热门的订房时段，很多祖孙三代或一家人会挑这个时段一起来这里过不一样的中国新年。
如果想给孩子或自己一个永生难忘的圣诞节，可以选择圣诞节三日套装组。不但能拜访圣诞老公公的家，圣诞老公公还会亲手送礼物给你，还会带你逛圣诞老公公家里，陪你聊天，然后还可以用自己的相机拍好几张照片。可以圆了自己和小孩的梦想，非常值得。
订房前该注意的事项：
1.只接受至少2晚的预约。
2.房价只有包括早餐，晚餐是强制性付费(晚餐也会因为入住日期价钱不同，所以订房时，请记得把晚餐的价钱也一起算进去!)
3.每日清洁费不包括在房费，可安排清理但需额外收费，每人每晚的清理费用为13欧元，并须提前预约。
4.附设桑拿，淋浴厕所和壁炉，房内会有3-5根木柴供使用，如果需要额外使用，需要去柜台前购买和自行领取，一箱木材13欧。
5.圣诞节期间的套餐订房，于2015年12月23到2015年12月26日。这是三晚的套餐行程，包括从Ivalo机场来回接送，三晚停留在同一间房间，两天的早餐和晚餐，还有圣诞节的特殊节目，圣诞节前夕可以享用自助晚餐并拜访圣诞老公公的家里。
6. 如果订房超过7晚或以上，可享有特殊优惠，详细资讯请直接跟饭店洽询。
7.若有特殊需求，可将房内的两张单人床，改成双人床。
8.请不要触摸玻璃、泼水或朝玻璃屋顶丢东西。
9.如果要换房的话，退房时间为早上10:00，入住登记时间约为下午2:00-3:00。
10.可以免费跟饭店借用木制雪撬搬运行李，若需要行李搬运服务为每人9欧元，请提前预约。
11. 最近的机场是伊瓦洛机场，35公里，距北极Kakslauttanen酒店度假村约30分钟车程。接送服务，可以安排为每人26欧元， 12岁以下儿童为一半的价格，请提前预约，并附上航机班次和时间。
12.所有的雪撬和活动都必须透过饭店预定，只有包车供应商被允许从饭店接送客人。雪橇和活动也可以到了现在再预定，但强烈建议提前预订，以免向隅。
