ROVANIEMI AIRPORT, ROVANIEMI

Finavia manages practically all the commercial airports in Finland. One of them is in Rovaniemi, which also  the fourth largest in Finland in terms of annual passengers. The Arctic Circle also happens to cross the runway of the airport.

I was happy to travel through the official airport of Santa Claus (who resides in Rovaniemi), and visit one of its toilets. The toilets of most Finavia airports, as was the one at Rovaniemi airport, are of the type of those well-managed clean toilets that has to be in good shape, as they serve at the gateways through which tourists enter the countr.

Upon entering this compact relief room one is quite overwhelmed with all the grey shades of the walls, floor, roof and cubicle doors. Thanks to the colour palet choice, the toilet has tough a clean, professional, and somewhat cosy atmosphere.

Another touch of toilet professionalism is the sink level made of pure stainless steel, which I'm sure will satisfy the needs of even the heaviest/most demanding sink users.

 Finavia engourages all the white guys to practice their basketball skills in the premises.
 
The airport authorities are kind enough to remind the average international visitor (who at least has knowledge of Finnish, Swedish or English) of the importance of closing the door, while one is conducting one's business inside the cosy cubicles. I apologize for the blurry picture, I was hurring for my flight (good excuse for average photographing skills and camera).
