Still bustling Bangkok & Birthday

Even with the pandemic visur spread. Bangkok was still somewhat normal. Many restaurants were empty so was just great not having to be in crowded places. Hotel pretty emtpy too! I could get used to less travellers. Customs was just a 2 minute wait. The environment is loving Corona too! So much less polluting during times like this.

Good morning Bangkok !

What a mess! You had 1 job

Bright red sunset

Every house having an own helipad

Bday dinner with some truffle & egg

And some bday drinks after dinner, smokehouse leather infused Laphraig whiskey with some orange bitters and smoke. Good stuff, good view.

Elevator view was a bit different at Indigo hotel

What a clean pond

Always taking a motorbike to place A to B. Neon

Corona free Singapore

The government in Singapore took early actions. ALL flights from China were stopped and also entry for Chinese people. And it didn't spread after that! Now rest of the world should have done the same...

The everyday life in Singapore is NORMAL. There was some craze buyers in the beginning but now all good. Just enjoying the heat and tropical sunshine!

Burning off any viruses in this 36 degree heat

Visiting the flower market

Orchard Road pretty empty due to corona outbreak, no tourists

Tripple barrels

Taking Kaj to the beach area and watching turtles at this pond is always as nice. Just next door to us!

Found SUPLI in Singapore too! Thanks DonDonDonki

Silent Hill 2 remastered game! Nostalgic

A walk around the Orchard Area

Legit name for a bar

Our weekend walks in the jungle are one of the best things of Punggol

Found him again, the dinosaur!

These lane houses are very iconic for Singapore

Thanks for the amazing lunch Yinze. Haven't had anything this good outside Japan since I left.

Never fails a morning, awesome to get great coffee home

Next stop Bangkok, there was really not many people on this flight

Namaste Hyderbad

It was the first time I have ever flown from Finland to India, not too bad route 7 hours. Jet lag limited so not too tired either after returning. Transferred in New Delhi first, was crazy polluted there. Luckily no need to spend anytime in that toxicity this time! Can barely see our out, like those Beijing days 10 years ago.

Was great to be back in Hyderbad, even got to learn how to ride a horse and watched an intensive Polo game. What a sport! Also some sightseeing to famous spots like Charminar, Falaknuma Palace and Chowmahalla palace. Thanks guys at Nimrahs Cafe for showing us around in the kitchen and how you make your local delights!

It doesen't really get much more polluted than this Delhi. And on top of this crap, Corona spreading
