@Stoori Tämän halua lukea! Niin monella ihmisellä on tapana narista hengähdystauolla niin, ettei ihan tiedä että tuleeko sitä puhetta vielä vaiko ei ja siihen on tosi hankala iskeä kohteliaasti väliin.

Hamburg was nice, a couple of museums and some working. I stayed at Villa Viva and was again really happy with the price quality ratio. My trip to Lille was very badly calibrated: every train was late, except for the last one, which meant that I was exactly 59 minutes late, not an hour, which makes seeking for compensation moot. Which, by the way, is super easy via the interrail page, I&#39;ll never do the DB compensation shit again. #interrail

IBSIC Conference in Lille was super fun and professionally meaningful as well. Also the projection mappings of the adjoining festival were at least interesting. It was my second time there, and this time I had two working groups to lead. And to write reports about, when everyone else was bar hopping. #ibsic #projectionMapping #videoArt #fediart

Except for a food poisoning, the rest of my #interrail was a comfortable success. Castle and cousin in Bensheim, dog sitting and a dear friend in Berlin, and the efficient train day &amp; night to Stockholm, where I lived on the edge breakfast-wise: arriving at 6AM I dashed to the SJ firstclass breakfast hotel, had a relatively peaceful brekkie, took the 6:55 bus 53 and made it to harbour just in time to catch the 7:45 ferry to Turku. Where I&#39;m about to arrive soon. And then it&#...

Berlin was nice, as it usually is, except for crappy art. A sound art work that sounded like collection of nature effects, and a light art piece that looked like an all-flickering light equipment presentation. Luckily, there was a bar in the latter and I rushed for alcohol. The bartender gave me a freebie vodka and took one himself, too. No wonder, he has to watch it day in day out. But I also got to see Jeremy Shaw&#39;s Phase Shifting Index for the third time, which made it all good again...

Regensburg and Re.Light festival were both very, very nice. I met old and new colleagues and my only complaint is that the bars are too small and noisy, so I didn&#39;t quite meet them as much as I&#39;d hope, since I beared the noise and crowding for three minutes on average. I also got to meet Margareta Hesse, whom I admire, and saw her No barrier for a fourth time. #Regensburg #Interrail #LightArt

Today&#39;s trip to Hamburg had many legs since I did a detour to visit Museum Ritter of Ritter Sport fame, combining my two favourite things, light art and chocolate. The exhibition was awesome, but trip there not so much: every single train was late and one local bus on a detour without any notice, causing an unbudgeted taxi trip. Also, no time for chocolate. #MuseumRitter #Interrail #traintravel #LightArt

Well, here&#39;s a great #overnighthotel in Hamburg! Ten or so minutes walk from hbf, ~20 € night in a Camping ground box. It really is a small one, but kind of a private room anyway. With a tiniest window. They seem to sell pretty quickly though. #Interrail https://www.villaviva-hamburg.de/en

I took the exotic S-bahn to Pinneberg &amp; ECE to Copenhagen connection from Hamburg. I arrived in Pinneberg early, thinking of nice cup of coffee and provision shopping, instead of struggling the hbf Edeka. Oh noes, it was a stuttgart renovation hell all over again. I can&#39;t fathom how one can even make such a mess out of this small a station. Nor how can a cafeteria be so uninviting. Luckily, I was saved by a börek bought just outside of the station maze. #Interrail

I wonder if I&#39;m also cursed by the Demon of pixelfed-hashtag-following? Whenever I try to follow one, the circle on the follow-button just keeps whirling in the feel-free-to-wait-until-you-die patience and style.

The residency week in Rinkøbing was great. I got to do a lot of bessewissering, and not just for my new and old friends, but for a general public as well. Now off to Berlin! Five trains, of which four start in Denmark. #interrail #traintravel
