Third time is the charm - NOT

Aftermath of busy week
PDP Gala in pictures
Almost ready for the exhibition early Friday morning.
During the exhibition we gave the visitors the full user experience by presenting both our product and the service concept around it. There was an reception desk, a small airplane cabin and finally our room with the unit.
Supercomfy!! Especially the mattress :D
After spending the past nine months togehter and two past weeks almost constantly together, finalizing the prototype and the exhibition space, it is hard to believe that it is over. What now? I am really going to miss working with this group of people.

"cottage trip"
The cottage trip Erik invited our projct group to turned out to be more of a mansion trip when he took us to his amazing family home. The house was buit by his great great grandfather and had stayed in the family ever since. Like all Finnish homes there was a sauna. This time it was in a separate building next to the sea. The sauna was more equivalent in size to what I would call a cottage ;)
Proto demolition
Vappu
The Finnish Valborg - Student life high light of the year. It is celebration of Spring and Labor day combined. They have been talking about this event ever since I arrived the first week of September. And I have to agree Vappu is something special. The atmospere has been very cheerful for over a week but especially the past three days. It is a noticeble contrast to the normal more reserved and careful Finnish style. The whole city has really come to life. Both young and old have been wearing there student caps and overalls and if not owning any of those, something else festive. For example a baloon :D
The drink Sima (mead) and pastry munkki (sugar donut) are Vappu specialties.

My home university, Linköpings Universitet, has an Instagram account where one student is in charge each week. About a month ago I was asked if it was something that I would like to do. I said sure so this week it is my turn. Hopefully I will be able to figure it out. I just downloaded Instagram to my phone. Tune in at liu_student to see this week's Helsinki/Aalto student life in pictures.
