First few weeks in Southampton - a pictorial


Petteri examining a map in the Polygon Guest House.


Yes, it's very cheap here. Very.


This too.


Brushing up on the British accent with Red Dwarf. (*geek*)


The Polygon.


They're taking The Hobbit to Isengard!


My window, looking out to Adelaide Road. (5 Shamrock Villas)


Our front door and front "yard" in St. Denys.


More of our spacious front yard.




The middle one is ours.


Just a few hundred meters from the house there's the St. Denys railway station.


Our local watering hole.


More of the station.


A green square of domestic bliss.


At St. Marys, very close to the university.


Multicultural madness!






The rainbow effect.


At the university.


Some sort of CNC machine that cuts plastic.


Run run run!


The achievements of the sport stars.


Central yard of the main building.


Ah, sanctuary!


Creativity!


We met some other Finnish exchange students. The guy with the beard is Timo. He is a musician.


Taking a walk thru a park.


British graffiti.


A nice little fountain.


Still feels like summer here.


Mr. Nutty, the town squirrel.


A small piece of Mary Poppins charm.


Oh, really?


Nightclub or BDSM dungeon?


Construction site.


Another view at St. Marys.


The Indian population here is considerably large.


This translates to ALKO.


Home again. Some sort of light phenomenon on my window.


The master bedroom (aka. MY ROOM)


Creature comforts.


Ah yes, I do have my own fireplace.


Upstairs corridor. Notice the carpeting. Smoooooooth.


Petteri's room, next to mine.


Pathway to darkness.


At the student union bar.


Freshers fair.




This is Mr. Panda. He wants to love you.


Free loot!


This is my new friend Paddy. He's from London. He likes drum n' bass.


He is quite mad (not really).
