nini and friendsss

This was recorded on June 15th 2024. We sat on the steps in Senate Square in Helsinki, Finland. This recording is part of the reason why Nini and friends was not released for such a long time. The original recording of this is about an hour long and I debate for a long time whether or not to publish it - because if I do published a full thing, it will take up a significant amount of space on my SoundCloud and I won’t be able to publish a lot of other episodes - ultimately, I have decided to cut 22 minutes of it (already twice the length of the average length) for public. It is a shame I cannot put the full thing here I will find a way to put the full thing somewhere else and let you know :) 

This was recorded on Nov 6th 2024, in Taipei, Taiwan. The cover art is of Su finding her fav perfume in an Asian grocery store in Barcelona. She was so utterly delighted when she found it, I still remember her excitement today. I miss her warmth and joy very much. 

This was recorded on June 7, 2024. Recorded in the main building of UH moments before our graduation ceremony. I don’t get to see Noha a lot. We don’t take many pictures together. But I love her very very much. And you’re lucky to one day meet her. The cover art is of us in a little group work session for quantitative research class. I like this picture a lot because it captures the moment we started being friends. Bonding over hard things.

This was recorded on an unknown date in 2024 (I think I have the date in my computer but I’m on my phone right now). In Arabia, Helsinki, Finland. The cover art is of Helen being frustrated over a burnt egg tart.

The is was recorded on June 2nd, 2024. In the forest behind my house. The cover art is of Anita and I having breakfast together in Jyväskulä. We thought of a great idea to buy ham, cheese and bread for our breakfast. It was delicious and cost effective. We are so smart.

This was recorded on May 28th 2024. We took a quick break from writing our thesis. The cover art is of Asiyeh helping me move and putting up the string art decoration my aunt made. She was so kind for helping me move in such a challenging day I remember.

This was recorded on May 28th 2024 in the basement of Think Corner in Helsinki. The cover art is of one of my fav pic of Beñat when I visited him in his home town of Donostia in Basque. It was a feast day when I visited. Beñat just got home less then 24 hours, with very little sleep. But he still took the whole day to show me around. He was just so happy to show me his amazing hometown. I love the joy on this face in this pic.

This was recorded on the same day as Sini’s. The cover art is of Shu cooling down a pan of Gyoza in the snow shortly before our 2024 thanksgiving potluck (I believe so, or was it for 2023 thanksgiving, it’s hard to say). Shu then proceeded to carry that pan onto the bus

This was recorded minutes after Sini’s episode, in the same location, on a big rock, looking out into the sea. The cover art is my fav pic I have with Ella, when we build a gingerbread house together and took a final picture together. The house was two stories and so epic.

This was recorded on the same day as Shu’s episode (and also Alex’s??). On a nice day when we celebrated Iina aging. The cover art is of a picture of Sini and Ia trying to see if they can do something silly with their hand while we at noodles on another day celebrating Güilu aging.
