We have free Wi-Fi network.\r\n\r\nPUBLIC SPACES\r\nOur aim together is to always keep the public spaces looking nice and inviting in Hub Feenix! There can be visitors coming to look at the place any time, so let’s not leave tools, cleaning equipment, our clothes or shoes etc. wondering around.\r\n\r\nDOORS\r\nAll the outside doors must always be kept locked. The main door can sometimes be open during events and courses, but only during daytime. And remember to give back your outdoor key when leaving! \r\n\r\nRESPECT THE PROPERTY OF HUB FEENIX\r\nEverything you see in Hub Feenix is always somebody’s property, that somebody has bought - also in the storage rooms and in the basement. So please always ask first if you need to take something. \r\n\r\nCOMPOSTING AND RECYCLING\r\nWe recycle all the waste we can -old food, plastic, cardboard, paper, metal, glass. In Finland you get money back from empty drinking bottles and cans, so it’s worth taking them back to the shop and not crush them.\r\n\r\nHEATING\r\nHeating the big house in the winter time is very expensive, so let’s take good care of the heated spaces. We do our best, but it is often pretty cool indoors too. The best way to stay warm is to wear a lot warm clothes inside the house too - we will borrow you some if you need.\r\n\r\nNO CANDLES\r\nThere is an automatic fire alarm system in the house, so we can not burn candles or incenses inside. It costs 1000€ if the fire brigade drives here for a false alarm.\r\n\r\nQUESTIONS\r\nAlways feel free to ask, if you need help or information! There are no silly questions!\r\n" :card_template: '' :image_id: 98 - :template: section_full_image :index: 2 :page_id: 4 :header: Here we are, bottom left :text: '' :options: background: none text_color: solid_blue margin: large text_align: center item_align: center fixed: 'on' image_align: left-top shade_color: none button_link: '' button_text: '' :updated_at: 2023-01-25 16:41:17.767687999 +02:00 :updated_by: torsten@villataika.fi :id: 13 :image_id: 5 - :template: section_cards :index: 1 :page_id: 4 :updated_at: 2023-01-25 02:39:51.879367031 +02:00 :updated_by: torsten@villataika.fi :id: 14 :card_template: card_feature_normal :options: background: white columns: '3' subheader: '' text_color: none text_align: left :header: How to get here :text: "Address: Högbenintie 30, 10350 Meltola\r\nNearby town: Karjaa (Karis)\r\nDistance from Helsinki: approximately 1 hour by train or car (75 km)\r\n\r\n[see on google maps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hub+Feenix/@60.1087256,23.7915169,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x468da5124a023e29:0xcae080e9021c7724!8m2!3d60.1087229!4d23.7937056)\r\n\r\n\r\n" - :template: section_cards :index: 1 :page_id: 5 :updated_at: 2023-01-25 03:30:27.757872017 +02:00 :updated_by: torsten@villataika.fi :id: 15 :card_template: card_full_image :options: background: white columns: '4' subheader: '' text_color: none text_align: left :header: Activities and possibilities :text: 'There are plenty of options when it comes to finding something exciting to do near the Hub, here are a few - ' - :template: section_text :index: 5 :page_id: 3 :updated_at: 2023-01-25 16:55:02.224622788 +02:00 :updated_by: torsten@villataika.fi :id: 16 :options: {} :header: Games & shared activities :text: "**Basement hide and seek** - The basement is structured like a maze which allows for a lot of creative expression when when finding somewhere to hide.\r\n\r\n**Among us/ jackbox** - the computer room allows for joined video gaming experiences.\r\n\r\n**Football** - The winter version is more exciting!\r\n\r\n**Dudo** - Dudo is a fun dice game [see rules](https://bead.game/games/dice-games/dudo)\r\n\r\n**Card & board games** - The kitchen lounge has several board and card games. \r\n\r\n**Cross-country skiing** - there's ski equipment in the Hub for everybody use. \r\n\r\n**Ice skating** - you can borrow our ice skates too, in Karjaa there is a free ice skating arena and sometimes (depending on weather and snow situation) it's possible to skate on the lake too.\r\n\r\n**Watching movies** - there's a large screen and a comfy sofa in the living room.\r\n\r\n**Swimming in the lake** - take a summer swim, or a walk during winter.\r\n\r\n**Bike riding, jogging, walking** - there's many ways to explore and enjoy the surrounding nature, there's both shorter and longer treks around the Hub.\r\n\r\n**Mushroom and berry picking** -popular Finnish hobby in the late summer and autumn!
