Grey grey Tokyo

It's rainy season now. And very very grey. Didn't do much home than switch some dirty clothes and repack before it was AGAIN time to hit Narita airport. Went to the immigration center to extend my ID card for another year. SOOOO CROWDED! Took me 3 hours to wait just for picking up the document. Was another 3 hours last month to give in all documents. Quick tour guiding one evening around in Shibuya to try some new places I hadn't even been to myself.

Back at Toyosu for night run. Best circuit I ever discovered. 

 Fathers day dinner at Brazilian BBQ. Big thanks to parents in law :)

A future home - Singapore

Spent almost 2 weeks in Singapore both with work and looking at some compounds and apartments. Will be very exciting to move here beginning of next year. Goodbye cold winters and welcome sweaty daily life. Will be a very sad day to leave our Tsukuda, love the place we stay in now in Tokyo.

We managed to book our stay same date as Trump & Kim met, in the hotel next to ours! Everything in the city was normal but some tighten security outside the venue hotel for the meeting. I didn't see how the security was beefed up at Trumps or Kims hotel probably a bit more police than in the daily street view. Airport and everything else was just as any other day. Amazingly arranged Singapore!

The nr.1 Laksa at Sheraton Towers!! 

 Dimsum with the guys

Cool whiskey bar at the hotel

 Great Singaporean restaurant at National Kitchen by Violet Oon 

 This apartment was amazing and on the 49th floor! 

Land of Gold! Hello Yangon

Back in Yangon for about 3 days to catch up with the team. Everything in this city is so new and opening up, much different than anywhere else in Asia I've been to. The airport is huge but hardly any passenger.

Customs entering Myanmar can take a long time if you have chosen a seat back in the plane, front as much as possible!

Didn't really have time to explore anything this time but did some hospital visits here for the first time. Love the vide and something special this city has. The pagodas shine so bright and golden all the day. Hence they call it the land of gold.

Hello Yangon 

Sky seemed a bit angry that I had arrived 

 Gotta love the local alphabet

 Saviour of the day

 Very local lunch for about 5 euro 

Legit bill  

One colourful children's hospital 

 My team in Yangon 

 Yangon and Tokyo office bare a lot of similarities! Minus the barb wire

 Victoria Hospital was actually very neat and modern. Like being home almost. 

 Big park in the central, same place I took the hot air balloon last time 

 19th street, so much going on here all the time 

 Some of our campaigns at the pharmacy

 Drugs drugs drugs

 Sule Pagoda 

 Sunset from The Penthouse. Nice food at this place! Only expats....

 Empty! There were 5 people on the flight to Singapore from Yangon. Cost efficient! 

Japan travels - Northern Hokkaido!

For the first time in a while travel in Japan to a new place! Very convenient 1.5 hour flight and the plane was the same size as going to Helsinki. Sapporo airport was amazing, they had more restaurants than a decent sized mall! And the spicy crab ramen was soooo gooood. Could have just stayed eating at the airport, prices same as in the city too!

Nomnom crab ramen 

 Was too eager to go to bed after arriving so went for a run around this new place. Everything was fine that night, before we went to Micci's. Isn't that pretty much how the place looks like? 

 Neon Sapporo main street in the center 

 First day we took a train to Otaru. It's an old port & warehouse city. Lot of the cafes and shops are converted warehouses from 100 years back. Really beautiful place and kind of reminds me of Borgå in Finland.

Love the fresh gigant crab on rice! 

One of the old warehouse that was turned into a cafe with oil lights. Nice ambience and nice smell from the oil too. Really felt like being in something old. 

Check this massive 8 decker ice cream! 

How yummy looking 

Fish market in Otaru 

Kaj liked the metal girl 

Happy together :) 

Sapporo TV was filming something by the main station, Kaj wasn't really sure how to react to their mascot 

Sapporo! And their almost copy of the Eiffel Tower 

The old clocktower of Sapporo

The red brick house, old governmental building 

Gardens around the Red Brickhouse are well kept

Having a morning coffee with this view. On my way to pick up the rental car so we can drive to Asahikawa zoo + other. Family roadtrip! 

Arches 

Welcome to Asahikawa zoo! Gotta start the day with some ramen 

Not everyday you see Polar bears and penguins 

Yumyum

Flip those wings 

These 3 guys were discussing something 

Stopped by the Ebisu Gardens 

Kaj decided that enough walking was enough 

In search of Hobbits 

Famous desert design shop, sooo good stuff they had! Kitakaro is def worth a visit! 

 Prius took us 400 km without any issues 

Family up in the hills
