Yet again, the bright idea to have a barbecue in the freezing cold. It’s a very scenic location though, just by the water in Rastila. Árni gets a little carried away with the lighter fluid- Mmmmm, petroleum infused grilled Makkara, yummy!

Birgit’s Belated Birthday
A late birthday party for Birgit (I think we were all busy on her actual birthday). My room doubles as the dinning area, and later triples as the dance floor. The odd thing was, there wasn’t much booze involved…

Tallin in 3 Hours
‘Hey Simon, you wanna go to Tallin with us?’, ‘Yeah, sure! When you going?’, ‘Saturday…’, ‘When we coming back?’, ‘About 4…’, ‘Eh?!’

Suomenlinna & Linnanmäki
A busy day, starting with a walk around the island fortress of Suomenlinna and ending with us catching the last day of the Linnanmäki amusement park before it shut up shop for the winter.

Katajanokka at Night
For some reason, as part of this intro project someone thought it would be a good idea to observe Katajanokka throughout the day. I get the graveyard shift of course. It was a bit eerie actually, but got some nice photos.

Katajanokka Skies
Scouting around Katajanokka for the introduction project at TaiK, the skies looked rather dramatic. This may well be normal for Helsinki, but I haven’t been here long enough to tell.

Bodman Trip
The annual AKA Produktgestaltung summer trip (yes, they do go on quite a few trips!) to Bodensee, Lake Constance in English money. Not too many photos, as I was too busy relaxing, doing nothing and eating barbecued foods. Me and Dominik sweat blood and tears to craft ‘Bodmann’ from a bit of wood and a magnifying glass. A very nice trip indeed, though I did get sunburnt for the first time ever…

Theater der Welt
The Poles cook dinner and invite me round. Yummy! A bunch of architects from the AKA build a stand on the fake lake for the Theater der Welt opening tonight. Looks nice.
