Packing for Koneisto
Man, was it hard to pack this morning, still groggy and tired after playing the snooze button game for about twenty minutes, knowing that I wouldn't be coming home before I leave to Turku (yes, of course to Koneisto). I didn't know what I'll need but I figured that since I usually overpack anyway, I'll probably be fine. What I did pack: swimming trunks, my toothbrush, deoderant, a change of clothes, a sweater, a book (The Difference Engine by Bruce Sterling and William Gibson), sandals, and three packs of Estonian cigarrettes. I could have made do with just the sweater and the cigarrettes but hey—the other stuff can't hurt.
I thought of taking some beer (also tax-free from the boat) but then decided against it, considering that it'll be really heavy and just get warm sitting in my bag all day. I can always buy cold beer from Turku, right?
It's weird how people outside of Turku make fun of it. I, myself, noticed that Turku seems like a really nice city. Then again, I haven't met any local people yet, which is what people complain about anyway. Last time I was in Turku we met two really cute Icelandic girls and hung out with them. Make, who's place we'll be staying at (again), is from Kerava and only moved to Turku last year to study folklore.
I don't think I'll end up meeting any Turkuers this weekend either, 'cause Koneisto will be full of people from, well, all over Finland and Europe. Maybe better luck next time then. Heh.
