It's summer again Tokyo!!

Finally the days below 15 degrees are over! Mom just called telling me about hail and snow mixed rain back home....Tokyo is def best time of the year now, if your planning a trip here go for May. Incoming 40 degrees and VEEERY humid later on... Managed to catch some of the last Sakuras 2017 :)

Home sweet home! Love Tsukuda!

Odawara Sunday getaway trip

Last weekend to see Sakura! Took the shinkansen to a nearby prefecture called Odawara. They just restored the castle in the center of the city to it's old might so it almost looks new. A really nice place to come for a day trip from city center! Walk to the beach is just around 1 km from the station

Hello Odawara! The day could not have been better

Sakura still in high bloom by the Odawara castle

Fluffy flowers!

Kajs first trip on a Shinkansen and first Sakura

Mr drooly

Balloons makes everyone happy

Odawara all for ourself

First time out to the beach with mommy

Love the different manholes you can find all over Japan

Blue stuff market street it was called, but it has seen better days

Home in Helsinki

Was so nice to go back home after a few months gone! Got some practical things fixed and also lectured in my old University about Intercultural Business and BioGaia for 180 students. Met up with old friends and spent time with family, it feels like time is never enough and flies away when just home 2-3 days. From Mid July - Mid August I will be home and hopefully have time to see more people!

Winder decided to surprise us during Easter. Suddenly everything was white 

All other days were sunny and nice. Perfect for outdoor run! 

The beer scene in Helsinki has become so good in the last few years. When I left almost 10 years ago there was not a single craft beer available. At least not that I can remember of...

Great APA at Bruuveri 

Shanghai reunion! 

 Thanks Hede for the overkill BBQ session, gainz after this meal 

 Arcada my old University. The school that changed my life by sending me to Shanghai as an exchange student back in 2007

Welcome :) 

Big spacious eating area 

 About to present for 1,5 hours. Always a bit edgy and nervous first 5 minutes 

 Mommy and god daughter Neah 

 Very quiet around Soukka

Nothing like a kebab at Road House! Been coming here the last 22 years already. Good times Micke 

 Some traditional Finnish mämmi. It's a rye mix eaten during Easter. Looks tasty doesn't it?

 Naughty BRGR, been wanting to go here since I saw it's been voted as some of the best burger places in town. Was not disappointed...Come get your heart stopper 

Tillsammans Stockholm

The aftermath at Åhlens was something much more than I could have imagined! Sooo much people out to pay their respects to Stockholm police and to the people who lost their lives during the attack. Never seen the area this packed, or with as much flowers. Unity, TILLSAMMANS! 

Half of the city out today

 Thanking the police with a few flowers 

 "Thinking of you from Iran" the little girls sign says 

 More flower covered police cars 

 Horse police was out too 

 Sergels Torg, a silent minute was held here 

 Good evening Stockholm. Got upgraded to a room with balcony, amazing view 

 Night pics of the same area, lot of candles! Almost as if visiting the cemetery during Xmas. 

 Go Sweden 

 Prayers for the ones who were lost 

 Tillsammans = Together
