Please do this! Please don't do that!

One morning I decided to document my daily 5min walk to school.

All these notices and signboards appear in just 500m walk from my apartment to my workplace. And I definitely didn't take pictures of all of them!!!

The "cats" board fascinated me since the day 1. Apparently the problem was so acute that it was worth carving it nicely in this metal plate.. That's almost like carving it in the cornerstone of our school.. :)

Not sure if "biohazard" is a joke or there's really something fishy behind that door...

The amount of signs helping to live our lives more efficiently doesn't get lesser once you enter the staff room.

Finally I safely reached my cubicle.. My friendly colleagues tampered with my name board, it is actually an anagram, using only the original letters of my name. Quite cool, isn't it? All of our names are anagrams in our office: "she robbed huge ann", "grand ale u", "cute netz"... you often see these puzzled faces of technicians when they come to fix computers or do some inventory checking: "...and you are...? ah.. ah.. okokok..."

This also reminds me that we're a design school - scrapping these beautiful G3s!!!!! I was almost crying when I saw this, I can't understand why they don't donate them or do something meaningful with them, the guys in Little India would know how to use them!!! The other pic seems very ironic to me. It reminded one of the ministers interview about introducing more accessibility to the public transportation system for the disabled. I was totally stunned when he said that "Few years ago we didn't really want the disabled to use our public transport, because we were striving for efficiency. However, now we're striving to be a more inclusive society.. blah blah..". I was completely schocked that he said it upfront - "we didn't want these people to be taking our buses and trains". Some may think that, some may know that, but how on earth someone (and a minister at that!!) can SAY that?!?!

Some more evidence that we're in a design school.

And even more proof that we have creative people here...:)

There's Leijonakaupunki Fringe festival happening now. I've been to some events alreay and I'm going to see more today. More updates later, sorry for being hasty.. Otherwise, life goes on, Kaj is in Bali, I'm going to visit him next weekend!!! Yah!!!
