Today I learned that Kamppi’s metro entrance (a popular meeting place) actually has an official title which is “Gekko”. It’s funny to me because during the ~8 years of it’s existence I’ve never heard anyone call it Gekko. Everyone calls it Kusari.
Kusari is a shortened form of kusi-iglu, which is Finnish for “piss igloo”
This is why I love my language
that’s so fitting, oh my god. I was, I suppose, too young to come to call it that when it was constructed, though, it’s always been the ear of corn to me.

Going to post this here as well, because the more people the better:
Are in or around Helsinki? Can you make it to Senate Square around one in the afternoon on Saturday (Nov 3rd)?
Please help me create the most magnificent human abacus in the world! You’ll be rewerded with a sense of having the world a more interesting place, and I’ll bring home-baked cookies, and I’ll buy you coffee to warm you up after. Bring your friends, it’s going to be great!
