Current Goal

As this travel bug is itself part of the history it wants to travel around the world searching for other historical relics and visiting places that are of cultural history. Since the TB ended up in Los Angeles it might as well see some sights and after that return to Europe and back home to Finland.

Tämä travelbugi on itsekin osa historiaa ja siksi se haluaa kiertää maailmaa ja samalla etsiä muita historiallisia reliikkejä sekä käydä kulttuurihistoriallisissa paikoissa. Koska bugi löysi jollakin kummallisella tavalla tiensä Los Angelesiin, niin miksipä se ei voisi katsella hieman nähtävyyksiä ja palata sitten Eurooppaan ja Suomeen.

About This Item

El copihue rojo is a song in Spanish but also the national flower of Chile, in Latin "Lapageria rosea". The travel bug itself looks out quite strange, doesn't it? Well, it used to be a center of a record at the collection of YLE, Finnish Broadcasting Company. The old records were thrown away once when the new technologies arrived and this piece ended up being a bottle opener. We are pretty sure it is more than satisfied with its third life as a travel bug! And by the way, the size of this bug is around 10cm x 10cm x 1cm, so it does not fit in a micro cache.

Wherever you place this bug, it would be nice if you could take a photo of it at the place and then save the photo here.

El copihue rojo on espanjankielinen laulu mutta myös Chilen kansalliskukka, latinaksi "Lapageria rosea". Travelbugi itsessään näyttää melko oudolta, eikö vain? No, se oli vauhdikkaimpina aikoinaan levyn keskiö Yleisradion äänilevystössä. Sittemmin vanhat levyt ja nauhat heitettiin pois uuden teknologian tieltä ja tästäkin keskiöstä tuli pullonkorkinavaaja. Olemme melko varmoja siitä, että tämä levyn keskiö suorastaan nauttii kolmannesta elämästään travelbugina! Ai niin, tämän bugin koko on noin 10cm x 10cm x 1cm, joten sitä ei voi sulloa mikrokätköön.

Minne sitten laitatkin tämän bugin, olisi oikein mukavaa, jos voisit valokuvata sen kyseisessä paikassa ja laittaa kuvan tänne sivuille!
