Westbound via Helsinki

Only had time to spend 2 days home with the family before flying off to Helsinki for a quick pitstop. Finally warm and no need for jackets in Tokyo :)

Helsinki on the other hand was a bit cooler...It snowed!

Flying Finn 

Thank you Finnair....After flying with you for about 10 years between Asia and Europe you gave me the first upgrade. That took some time! Skål

Congrats Finland, 100 years this year


After 1 nights sleep in Helsinki we flew down to Prage for a few day. Gorgeous city with so much old buildings. Food is amazing here too!

Central Square form the cathedral tower

The astronomy clock which people always line up to see the hourly "show"

Lot of people down there

Inne roof of the cathedral

World largest castle on the top of the hill with cathedral in the center

Going up to the castle 

Rain came while we were up in the castle but city looks great from up here! 

Inside the cathedral on the top 

Castle dungeons 

Jetlag, got up at 5 am and went running. So calm and empty the city! 

Back in 2009 I did an inter rail trip all over Europe and came in here through the central railway station.

ESPGHAN, Europes biggest pediatric expo was in Prague this year 

Morning symposium about to start

Best burger I've had in a long long time. Go try "The Tavern" and you will not be dissapointed

Intercontinental's rooftop restaurant had THE view

The Dancing House

Great afternoon to walk around the town a bit

It was NOT a Budweiser, local beer 1000x better

Dinner restaurant had the beer brewing above

Freedom wall

A bit of hippie area

Lock it

Should start selling these in Asia too, would probably be very popular

Gorgeous just walking around

Found some really nice local food 

A whiskey to ease the heavy food burden 

Konichiwa from Japan Prague! 

Good night Prague, was a cool week 

Sydney you gorgeous thing

My lucky city...Spent my 30th birthday here and on my 30th birthday around 11 pm I got a mail from BioGaia that I've got the job! That feels like years and years and so much has happened since. Can't say I wasted a moment thinking back...And could not have imagined that so many changes would happen in life in just 3 years.

So far the only downside to Sydney that I can think of is that it's very far away from everything. Everything else is awesome! People, food, winters, beaches, nature.

Harbour bridge 

Lest we forget...

The observatory top of the hill just next to Harbour Bridge 

Pretty obvious there were Irish here 

One of the best Mexican food I ever had at El Camino

Pancake on the rocks! Never had better! 

Our launch symposium on probiotics and it's benefits for children 

Hilarious slide but so true 

BioGaia can be found in most pharmacies all over Australia in a very short while! 

Queen Victoria building after the opening hours 

Pump that...From pump room in Singapore to Pump house in Sydney 

Breakfast with a view ! 

Last day turned out to be wonderful! 

Donnie Darko vibes 

Best pies & hot dogs in town at Harry's! 

Harry's signature pie, yum yum

Career goals? 

The historical wing at Westin...1890

St Mary's cathedral in a perfect reflection 

and on the inside....

Sydney Tower and a vivid sky. Maybe it's the far south that creates these super super red coloured evenings here ?

And fly back to Sushi land...Airport giving some home vibes
