Rauma is really a small town sits on the west coat of Finland. I remembered it was on Monday when we arrived there, so museums there were unfortunately not open. I felt pretty cold when I got off the bus. Later, I still felt cold when I was walking around the town but thanks to the coldness which stops me from being too excited and made me actively think during the walk.
The centre of Rauma is technically called Old Rauma which is known for the wooden architecture. More remarkably, the Old Rauma is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Rows of wooden houses neatly lie along the stone road which can easily creates a peaceful and romantic atmosphere. Rose is too glamorous, like a siren; daisy is too naive. Instead, the town feels like lily,pure and graceful, but still has its own story beautiful enough to capture you. House here are all made of wood, but they never bore you.Different shapes, different colors, and different settings of the houses tell different stories of every family. Some households like passionate colors, like red; others prefer cold colors,like dark blue.You can find people there like to decorate their house with extremely carefulness just by giving a glimpse of their windowsill veiled behind the curtain trimmed with romantic lace.
It's not crowded at all, like most cities in Finland. I feel like shops there are not run for business or for morning because some of them are just open for two or three hours in two or three days of one week. I guess running a shop for them is just a hobby, or just a way to color their life. Few people are on the street but you won't feel desolate because there is some kind of "humanity" hangs in the air. You can feel there are people, you are not by yourself, you are not lonely.
Outside the old town, there is a pretty modernized library. People spend time there no matter young or old. People's hearts stay in the old beautiful times, but their minds closely follow the newest knowledge.
How can people grow up at places like Rauma not be virtuous?
