Day 1
My friend Mr D dropped me off to London Heathrow airport...I was numb and it hadn't hit me that I was really leaving yet. I boarded my flight and immediately started to cry...it was only then I realised I was leaving all of my great friends, flat and job behind to head back to Australia.
After an uneventful flight, I arrived in Helsi...

Vihdoinkin ollaan paasty matkaan. Lahettiin just hesasta Tolstoilla puksuttamaan. Koko paiva ollu hillitonta juoksemista paikasta toiseen. Nyt paas vahasen rauhottumaan. Kaytiin ravintolavaunussa juomassa valittomat bisset. 140 ruplaa (4.4e) kipale, eli ihan Suomen hinnoissa. Meijan vaunuemanta on ihan mahtava, ei puhu muuta kun venajaa mut naur...

I turned 25 this past Thursday. A quarter-century. Enough said. A bunch of the guys from the team took me out to dinner after practice and it was a good time. Here is a link to a youtube video I didn't realize was being taken while I get sung Happy Birthday is Finnish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLQa9KFS URk. The lighting is bad, but I think...

Day 1 & 2 - Helsinki Its really a long trip Scandi, it took us almost 24 hours to arrive our first stop - Helsinki. We took TG from Singapore to Bangkok, then transit to Copehangan and later to Helsinki. After a train ride from airport to the central train station, we make our way to our hotel - Sokos Helsinki, checked in and have a good sle...

So this is Europe. We arrived in Amsterdam on the 23rd of August and it was a bit of a culure shock. There were tourists everywhere and the street layout was condensed and difficult to navigate, but overall we had a good time. I wasn´t fortunate enough to escape jet lag so I didn´t end up going out much. Instead I went to bed early in our dumpy(...

This morning I got up a little earlier than I needed to, and laid in bed for ages. I didn't know what time the boat docked, and I didn't know what time it was on the boat, so I wasn't sure what time to get up. Little did I know that someone had programmed the alarm, and it was set to go off an hour before the ship docked. When the alarm went off...

We arrived early Thursday morning at the port of Helsinki, Finland in our cruise ship from Stockholm, Sweden and caught a tram to our hostel, which just happened to be part of the 1952 Olympic Stadium. We tossed out luggage in our rooms and headed directly to our first business visit of Aker Yards. They are one of the larger ship and sea vessel ...

On the supposed last day of my stay in Finland, Jutta found out Värttinä was giving a show there on the 15th, and I just had to come back... In a certain way (through a rather long chain of events), they were the ones to spark this trip. This time I was hosted by Claudio, as Jutta had left for New York, but we actually didn't spend much time tog...

When we stopped in the port Jason and I took a walking tour of the city. Later we rented bikes to see more of the city. Upon exploring the city we also decided to stock up on some beverages to bring back on board the ship. It was hysterical loading up our backbags as large as they could go and peddaling back toward the cruise ship in a foreign c...
