Oh, and I must see the northern lights! That means i must also go to Canada.
I think the money's definitely better in what your doing haha. But yeh, the northern lights are a must see. Normally they're green, but depending on the composition of the atmosphere (and usually associated with how far north you go) you get pink and yellow, and all kinds of colors. But I'm not going to try and describe it here... there's no way I could.
