Every year, during the second week of July, Pori hosts an event called SuomiAreena. For this one week a year, all Finnish eyes are on Pori as almost every major politician, political figure, media personality, union, and association converge upon our quiet city to debate, discuss, and demonstrate various topics, ideas, and innovations.
It's also the worst week of the year to be visually-impaired, but that's a different blog post.
This year, between queuing for free coffee and accidentally walking into members of Parliament, I decided it would be fun to play Pokemon Go with augmented reality mode enabled, to see what kinds of images I would be able to come up with. So, I present for your approval SuomiAreena Go.
