Helsinki University of Technology - where I am working

I am working at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Helsinki University of Technology, for three months from end of August until the beginning of December. The campus is in Otaniemi, Espoo.

The Computer Science and Engineering building

Just nearby on campus is this building designed by the famous Finnish architect, Alvar Aalto.

Taina, Otto and Petri in the tearoom.

The cafeteria in the centre of he building - the trees are real.

Hundreds of lemmings to welcome the new students - these were crocheted by some of the staff.
... some more lemmings

and another lemming

Soili Adolfsson - one of the secretaries.

Lauri Malmi wearing the special hat worn by PhD graduates.

Taina at the end of a half marathon held in Espoo.

A student dinner in the cafeteria ... the technology students wear special hats.

Many of the students were wearing these suits at the start of semester - the colour denotes the Faculty
Some of the students at a music concert on the first week of term.

  1. The lemmings are so cute! Shouldn't you have one in your lovely office? (Almost as good as having Epanine there with you)
