A night out in Copenhagen

A reunion with old and new friends! Beijing & Shanghai gang meeting in the heart of Denmark for an amazing night out. Great brunch the day after too, kids grown up so fast Mårten! Looking forward to next time, next year again?

Our room had a private gym, good joke 

Looks like one mystery was solved 

For those who are remembered

 Central city, finally see some sky after a week fo grey! 

First guy I met in Shanghai 2007, it's been a long adventure my friend 

 Last meal at the airport, see you soon again in Canada for the wedding Johannes! 

Back to the old south Sweden

Flew to my old home neighbourhood in Lund and spent a few days in Örnäs castle for our company annual meeting. Slightly warmer down here and def no more snowstorm! Good to be back close to where once grew up, not that I have much memory of it...

Good evening Lund! 

 A constant of grey 

Örnäs Castle! 

 Fields and fields out at Örnäs

 Can see all the way to Denmark...

 I wonder how well this "Scandinavian White" brand would be introduced in US? 

Stockholm & snowstrorm

Back in the capital of Scandinavia, good old Stockholm. No snow here either when arriving...but when leaving there was a snowstorm and of course traffic was a mess. Luckily the airport was a mess too and although we arrived 1 hour AFTER our scheduled departure time we will made it and had to wait 1 hour. Better than missing the flight. Was great seeing you Fred after a long time!

View from office on Monday...

And snowstorm on Tuesday...

 Pretty cool lobby 

 Nice seeing you old buddy!! 

 Some Eritrea African food, first time and not disappointed 

 AW IPA

Hello Helsinki

Good to be home again!! Been about 5 months since...Nothing beats a dinner with parents and some Xbox - Gears of Wars 4 :)

Thanks Finnair for the upgrade! 

Welcome back to the grey 

 Continue where we left few months ago. This picture could have been taken over 20 years ago and would not be any different except we became older and Xbox had wired controllers. 

 Parents kept the Xmas tree a day extra for me to see. Thanks :) Wasn't a very white Christmas this year though...

 Winters aren't what they used to be as a kid. Was always cold and lot of snow 25 years ago.  

Yokohama & Ramen!

A day trip out to Yokohama! Just about 30-40 minutes by train from Tokyo. Was a crisp blue day with sunshine and bit of breeze. Went to the ramen museum that beat all my expectations! SO cool made 1950s Tokyo style!

A really cold and windy night in Shinjuku 

Tsukuda neighbourhood

 Old meets new in Tsukuda 

 Been wanting to try the Yokozuna Sumo champion burger for a long time already. Headed over to Ryogoku which is the sumo area of Tokyo to try this much spoken about place. Was a very old grandpa having the store, wonder how many champions he has served during his lifetime? 

 

The tiny kitchen, our burgers on the kitchen table waiting to the ready

Yum! Massive double patty  

5 minute walk from the burger shop and you can eat with a seaside view

An evening in Akihabara and for the first time in my life lost my wallet. 1 week later get a call that it can be picked up at police station. Let's see what cards are left....
