Made in Japan. I acquired three of them in this picture during my
Akihabara exploration. I have no way of personally verifying how well
these are designed, but it seems promising.

Long phone call w travel agent this morning. All hotels are fully booked in helsinki, and even flights from japan to helsinki!
Despite our effort to find optimized travel plan, i’m left hotel-less on sept 5 and 6. She recommended a hotel in salo, and i recommended her to look at porvoo.
So i’m on the look out for a generous host who would be willing to let me crash at the sofa for two nights sept 5-6. No animal allergy, no history of serious snoring.
