Tokyo we are back!

Gone a month that felt like a few days only...Good to be home again! Kaj not really taking jetlag too well and keeps us up in the night and crying.

Went to Summer Sonic festival for the first time. Actually first time ever to a big outdoor festival in Japan. The area was huge and lineup included Above and Beyond which I've been wanting to see again. Really good gig and great fun we had. Must do again next summer!

Helsinki sightseeing & lastm inute shoppings

Last few days before vacation is over. Some Helsinki sightseeing and last minute shopping. Gorgeous city and more gorgeous sunset by parents house in Soukka...Love being home! This was a fantastic summer, really (too cold and rainy though)! Would have loved to meet more people, go to more places but time always run out when home. Until next time again.

Marimekko factory outlet, almost all customers to my surpirce here were Japanese or other Asians
 Mountain run 
 Sökö Strand sunset, wow! 
 Taken a picture of this tree during all seasons. If you scroll back a few months you will find autumn & winter version too 
 Mustard! Can't have enough of mustard

Gorgeous Pellinge

Straight from Poland out to our island for a few days chilling with the whole family. Mostly rain but at least 1 gorgeous day for deserted island hopping. So nice to just relax here a few days where time sort of seem to stand still. Very very different life than back in Asia...and no people!
