My grandfather often took me to school in the mornings when I was a little girl. We usually left earlier and stopped by a bakery near my school. He ordered cakes and milk for me while choosing a cup of black coffee with filter for him. When eating my food, I loved counting the drops of coffee falling down through the filter, wondering how they tasted. Once, when my grandfather was buying a magazine, I surreptitiously dipped a finger in the cup of coffee. Bitter! It was the first time I tasted it and couldn’t understand why the drink that many adults love was so bitter. That time I felt like I would never like coffee.

De Glace Ice Hotel - Not cold in the ice<br />
Winter lovers have flocked to De Glace Ice Hotel in Quebec, Canada for<br />
15 years. Welcoming guests from January to March, this is the only hotel<br />
completely built from ice.<br />
As its main construction material is ice, it is also the only hotel that is rebuilt<br />
once a year. Designed by skillful professional sculptors, each room features a<br />
distinctive theme. The temperature inside the hotel is about -4 degrees C, but<br />
don’t worry as you’ll be equipped with a blanket and arctic style sleeping bag.<br />
Moreover, each premium room has a gas heater to keep guests warm in “the<br />
ice castle”. Price: about USD200/night.<br />

Watch the<br />
Northern Lights at<br />
Kakslauttanen Arctic<br />
Resort<br />
The northern lights are<br />
created when electrically<br />
charged particles from<br />
solar winds enter and<br />
interact with the Earth’s<br />
atmosphere. Every astronomy<br />
lover has a desire to see these<br />
lights continuously dancing in<br />
the sky. However, few people<br />
are patient and lucky enough to<br />
catch these moments.<br />
This is also the reason why<br />
Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort<br />
was set up in Saariselkä Village<br />
(Finland). Its 20 glass tents<br />
allow you to contemplate the<br />
dances of light while relaxing<br />
in your comfortable bed.<br />
From August to April the<br />
following year is the best time<br />
for visit this area. Although<br />
the temperature could be<br />
-40F outside, the glass tent<br />
can keep you warm during<br />
the unforgettable experience<br />
of watching this magnificent<br />
phenomenon.<br />
At daytime, you can drive a<br />
snowmobile, go ice fishing or<br />
reindeer skiing like the Finns.<br />
A night in a glass tent costs<br />
450 to 600 USD.<br />
