Why not translate the name completely: Seurasaari = Society Island.

thanks juuro (i actually did not know that was the translated name for Suerasaari). i hope you can come to my little beer drinking party on wednesday, because i'd like to meet you.

Well, Helsinki is a bit far in the periphery from my point of view. I live near Jyväskylä, and it is about 300 kilometers to Helsinki from here. Not a big distance to someone used to the U.S. Midwest, but non-trivial for me. A pint of hard cider in wonkish company would be nice, though. Have fun!

juuro -- i am very disappointed that i won't be able to meet you on wednesday! if you happen to find someone who is coming to helsinki who can give you a ride, i hope you manage to come down to meet me sometime while i am still here (i leave 10 march). i am always ready to go out for beers!
