POV: Helsinki Metropolitan Area

"Learning to get lost is a vertiginous skill." - This is not a Walter Benjamin quote! I found it on the web. The sentence I remember by heart goes more like: "To get lost in the city takes experience and preparation"
To get lost, here, means something similar to saying "I got lost in the book of Edgar Allen Poe." It demands certain strategies to find unexpected, maybe revolving ideas and images. Moreover, to only go by foot isn't a good idea in order to figure something out about a wide spread metropolitan area (with more than 1.2 Million inhabitans). On the other hand, the setting of a board game might not be the worst idea for this endeavor.



Here is a map with my recent points of interest. So far, it does not look like a game board map: Many unknown areas! Also, I have not visited all of them, yet. But most of them.
