The Escalator Slide

As a general statement, it would be helpful if popular architecture made broader use of slides. Like batpoles, they're fun and convenient. Julijonas Urbonas, a Lithuanian architect known for his eccentric designs and art installations, erected this one as a public sculpture in a business district in Vilnius.

From one side, it looks just like a stainless steel escalator, yet it leads not to a boardroom but instead to a slide. Two-piece suits are not required for the dress code, but they are strongly recommended. Use it to relax during your coffee break.  Also, since you don't really go anywhere or accomplish anything, you can regard it as just another day on the job.

Strange thing is that as much as it smells of stinky feet and/or goat cheese gone bad, I got coaxed by thai friends into eating the the stuff during a vacation in Thailand. Guess what? It's actually quite good, the fruit itself has a nice taste, with delicate and subtle sweetness, nice texture and but a hint of the noxious odor as an aftertaste.

After that, eating durian-flavoured cookies (oreo-like) and durian-flavoured ice-cream became quite pleasurable.
