Oulu Swedish: Uleåborg; (http://www.oulu.ouka.fi/english/index.asp) is a city of close to 142,000 inhabitants in Oulu province, northern Finland. On 01.01.2009, the municipality of Ylikiiminki (http://en.wikipedia.org/w...) was consolidated with the city of Oulu, increasing Oulu's land mass nearly quadruple-fold. As one of the results of the merger, Oulu is now officially an area where one might encounter reindeer.
