Singapore in & out

Just as we were getting used to our new home it's time to change the scenery for 3 months in Tokyo. Baby girl will be delivered same place as Kaj! I'll be pending between Singapore, Tokyo and....the world meanwhile. Excited to have a family of 4 soon!

 Everyday I walk home, the pool makes me smile. 

 Now I don't have to miss Thailand as much, can buy this Soda water home delivered for very cheap! Yum ! Super strong sparkles 

 Jollibee just opened near us and the line was long! It's a Philippines fast food burger-ish joint. I really love their breakfast pancakes with a patty and bacon. 

 Nights watch, a bit creepy road sign for work in progress! 

Hanoi still Rocks

Back in the Hanoi furnace! It's sooo hot here during the summers. And humid. The city is full of small lakes making the air crazy humid.

Oh yay I got to fly with the 100th 737 this morning! Via KL to Hanoi. First work trip out of Singapore. And sooo much shorter flights than from Tokyo. 

Arriving suuuper hungry after a long mornig. Had to get up at 5 am already...This place has AMAZING food 

 Old faithful Sheraton. Wonder how many nights I spent here? 

 Something about this dark parking lot 

 Safety first 

 Dinner at the Slug, great place! 

 Haricut for pennies! And all the free AC one could ask for 

 West Lake and the CBD district on the other side 

 Never late for a meeting by bike 

 Top of the world! Cool rooftop cafe 

A bit Scandinavian style birch trees on the rooftop with lights 

 Dream Team 

 Another evening sets 

 Ho Chi Minh mausoleum. Snapped the picture from the back of a bike so a bit blurry 

 Does not look like a massive city of millions here 

 A dip in the 37 degree heat was welcome 

Settling in Singapore

We been veeery busy getting our house sorted before heading to Japan a longer time in wait for the new family member. But it's starting to become very homey and loving the new amount of space we have! Social life has been close to zero but at least got nice food here and there.

Hello Singapore! It's 10 years since I saw this view first time. And that time many of these buildings were not here. Half of Marina included

 The HIVE offices 

 Passed by this small nice looking local brewery bar 

 Home sweet home 

 Arab street is like walking in Istanbul 

Finland vacation!

2 weeks in Finland was great! Suuuuper great weather we had. Wish we could have stayed longer in this kind of summer. Was also great to spend midsummer here, it's been many years since last time. White nights are something else, when the sky is still red at midnight. If only summers were longer back in the north I could consider moving back someday....But when winter comes, wanna be far away.

So Helsinki! 

 Went to have lunch in Järvenpää center, cool old villa called Ravintola Huvila with good food 

 Roadhouse! Can never get enough of their kebabbs

 A bit of Beijing in Finland 

 Helsinki white nights 

Presidential palace 

 Not surprising, Kaj loves to ride the boat 

  Around 10 pm and still this light 

 Midnight! 

 Chopping some wood in this awesome weather 

More rice! 

Out by boat to an abandoned island 

 Soukka sunset

Evening run passing an old viking tomb in the woods 

 Suomenlinna, like Hobbit land
