Iiri Heinilä, 88, heard about the rental bathrooms on the island of Uunisaari, in Finland, located two minutes by boat from the coast of Helsinki, eight years ago. However, the woman continues waiting.
Heinilä had just moved to Helsinki when he discovered the wonderful island of Uunisaari, who was also popular among the inhabitants of the Finnish capital, and became a usual bathroom for her. Heinilä did not take long to discover that the bathing cabins were rented for private use, according to the newspaper .
The Helsinki City Council has been renting bathing booths for decades for private use, but about three years ago they ceased to be available due to high demand. Many people convert a cabin of approximately one square meter into a microcabaña, which is a quick getaway away from the bustle of the city.
For Heinilä, a swimming cabin would be a place to save the team for your favorite fans, swimming. In winter, this could be used to save skis and thus would have more possibilities to leave. The woman contacted the city and finished a place in the waiting list.
However, in eight years the row has advanced twelve positions and now occupies the eighteenth. Over time, Heinilä has also met some who already have a pool cabin. “The community is very nice,” he said to the Finnish half.
He still dreams of having his own bathroom, although the row advances very slowly. When he asked about the situation in 2021, he still had 27 people ahead. Heinilä, who will turn 90 in a couple of years, fears that he never has time to enjoy the happiness and community that the cabin provides. “I will die before it is free!” Said the woman.
