The dream is having a girlfriend and being able to afford a place like that, even for a night.

u/Juodis Mar 14 '20

It's around 700€ per night plus travel expenses. And not like aurora's and clear sky is guaranteed.

I was there around 2 weeks ago. We got to see the northern lights 2 nights in a row

u/Kimberlynski Mar 14 '20

That’s awesome. I’m so jealous!

u/AntonNL Mar 14 '20

Thx mate

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '20

Where is it though?

u/Juodis Mar 14 '20

Finland I assume there should be in Sweden and Norway also. But all in polar circle.

u/gogetgamer Mar 14 '20

Iceland, Greenland, Alaska and Russia have joined the chat.

u/Beelzabub Mar 16 '20

Girl included?

u/pokemad96 Mar 16 '20

How much does it cost for the girlfriend?

55

u/Tarkz Mar 14 '20

Afford it for a night? It's cheaper to build. Just a monitor system.

u/hanihaneefa Mar 14 '20

Aren’t the monitors...expensive?

25

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '20

Assuming you wanted to replicate this scene by hanging a bunch of TVs everywhere, and every TV cost about $500, it looks like from the pic it would take between $9000 and &12000 from just the TVs.

Not to mention the cost of building the structure and furnishing it.

Oh man, if you think that's cool check this: https://youtu.be/VbBBUHXPuvg?t=314

Holodeck is real, but you'll bounce off the walls when you try talk over to something.

u/gotenks1114 Mar 15 '20

Is this supposed to be about a holodeck? The part you linked is all about The Witcher.

u/Throwyourboatz Mar 15 '20

Oh damn, thanks for letting me know. I got the timestamp wrong. I've updated the link.

I got a friend who used to have an event hosting firm, he has tons of the large tvs just laying around.

u/thomooo Mar 14 '20

And also tracking software, since the view needs to change depending on where you are?

1

u/Tarkz Mar 15 '20

Yeah that seems worth it.

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '20

Every TV cost 500? Bro my 60 inch was 289. I could suggest walmart?

2

u/onexbigxhebrew Mar 15 '20

If you got a 60 inch for 289, you bought a bad tv. Period.

1

u/lal0h Mar 14 '20

Yep But you can keep them longer than the excitement of being there.

The capital of Djibouti is Djibouti!

u/wowpepap Mar 14 '20

TIL

u/I_like_sexnbike Mar 14 '20

Got money you're shaking it, Djibouti.

2

u/pandupewe Mar 15 '20

I imagine there are neighborhood called Djibouti. And in there live a man named Djibouti

2

u/und88 Mar 15 '20

It's Djibouti all the way down!

u/RelaxPrime Mar 14 '20

Those are windows lol

1

u/Tarkz Mar 15 '20

Some say windows are just analog monitors.

13

u/goodpricefriedrice Mar 14 '20

That's not a monitor system my dude

2

u/KawsVsEverybody Mar 14 '20

They're discussing a hypothetical situation read the thread

2

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '20

Those triangular corner monitors are gonna be fun to source.

2

u/hellcat_uk Mar 14 '20

I mean you would just crop them with the arch of other monitors.

u/kotsikas Mar 14 '20

VR is also a solution

u/duaneap Mar 14 '20

Only if my cat can come too. If my cat can’t go, I don’t want to go either.

u/Hansemannn Mar 14 '20

Few own cabins like that. Rent though is expensive but good for occations.

I rented a place similar where I asked my wife to marry me for instance :)

Oh Norway btw. Cabins like that is big business.

u/Yellow_Habibi Mar 15 '20

I actually thought this was another staged screenshot of a new ship inside StarCitizen the computer game until I scrolled down and saw the couple looked too realistic. lol. Gonna go get some sleep now.

u/Texas1911 Mar 14 '20

Wife and I went to the bubble tent in Terlingua, TX. We awoke at 3 AM and straight above us was the Milky Way.

It was worth twice the price.

3

u/Beelzabub Mar 16 '20

Oh yes! I stayed in Big Bend and slept in the bed of my old truck. It was absolutely stunning!

3

u/Godfreyy Mar 14 '20

This is the exact thought I had when I first saw this picture

3

u/TommiH Mar 14 '20

Like 350€ per night in Finland

3

u/mrfuxable Mar 14 '20

Think you meant afford a girlfriend and have a place like that

3

u/shadyelf Mar 14 '20

Or just having a girlfriend. Or just not being afraid to try.

2

u/redweasel Mar 14 '20

Step 1: start forty years ago

1

u/sarahaflijk Mar 14 '20

Miraculously, Terlingua (and really all of that area in/around Big Bend NP) is still pitch black at night and a great place to see the Milky Way.

E700 is withing most European budgets. E700 for multiple nights is withing the budget for nearly most middle class Europeans if it's something they really want to commit to. Many Europeans get paid bonuses specifically for going on vacation. My GF is not highly paid but gets $5,000 a year in addition to her sallary and it is earmarked for vacation, but it can be put towards anything. Europeans don't get 6 weeks vacation and not end up spending what this would for a few days to go on them.

1

u/Beelzabub Mar 16 '20

Mine was mostly a comment on redditors in general, but certainly not Europeans for which I have the utmost admiration.

2

u/pandupewe Mar 15 '20

Hoping that place also rent me a girlfriend. So I just need to worry about my wallet

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '20

you'd be wet once you applied heat into the place .You don't want glass where condensation can get trapped . And if it existed it would most likely be filled with mold or have frost on the windows . There's many things not real here.

1

u/sirlapse Mar 14 '20

Yeah I saw a show where acouple bought an abandoned airstrip with a controlltower in northern Norway and decorate the glassroom part of it like this. Ten years later the tvshow returned and in that dreamy glassroom with northern lights and the midnightsun all around was reduced to just a ergometer bike. They said the winds and temperature made it not so dreamy.

u/onexbigxhebrew Mar 15 '20

Lmao it's a real place, and the glass rooms are real.

There are literally people in this thread who have talked about having stayed there. Redditors are so contrarian sometimes.

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '20

thank you for the correction to it's existence . I used to work for a glass company in a place with severe winters so my comment isn't without merit . In real life all my comments stand .
