Great news! I´ve made a most wonderful new friend. We share the love for taking a long walks together. She´s one year old and very very energetic chocolate brown Labrador Retriever. Today morning we visited places in Lauttasaari I hadn´t visited for years. /// Olen löytänyt mitä parasta reippailuseuraa vuoden vanhasta ruskeasta labradorinnoutajasta! Eilisessä iltalenkissä ja tämän aamuisessa kävelyssä oli ihan uutta draivia energisen seuran ansiosta. Käytiin tarkastamassa Lauttasaaressa monta vanhaa tuttua paikaa missä en ollut käynyt vuosiin.
i looove your finland-photos. and this house, so abandoned, but still full of life. i'm really looking forward to your stories the following semester!
ReplyDeleteWhat does Monku monku means?
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and now you have a companion. That is sweet
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and your photos are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi anniken, MK, Kerry and Nix! And thanks a lot :) I guess Monku has no meaning in Finnish (it might me a nickname of someone..?) but isn´t it something in Japanese language? Tell me tell me tell me!
ReplyDeletehmm...Monku(文句) in Japanese means something like "complaint" but I'm not sure if it refers to the Japanese word here...:o
ReplyDeleteMonkku was a bot on our IRC channel around 1997-2007. In 2001 or 2002, we made a body for him in order to let him participate in a demoparty with us. Later, the body was lost and nobody knew where. Some of our members lived in a squat in Lauttasaari in the following years, so apparently one of them took Monkku's body there and eventually lost it. Monkku was a beloved member of our family, so this find sheds light on what happened to him. Thank you!
